You running around with your fingers in your ears so you don't hear from God is on you. I promise you God has been working among people since the beginning, the fact you have harden your heart to the point you miss Him doesn't mean He has not been reaching out.
This makes sense, sure.

... You need eyes to see, and ears to hear what God is doing. You fail to grasp that you will never find God, or better said hear God when He reaches out to you....
This is one of the things making me glad I'm not christian. To think freely and not according to authorities in order not to end up in hell.
When I got socially punished in church in my teen age, because I suggested that god perhaps was a woman. That was the seed to think about, if I really belonged there. When I had left the church, my life become easier. I don't miss the paradoxes.

Originally posted by @rbhillYou mean theory like you drop a rock on your toe and it hurts? Gravity is a theory, not real? Blood flowing through bodies is theory? That little bits of silicon or other stuff can make lasers? That's just theory? The computer you type on to talk on the net, that is just theory? All that science work by Beriers Lee to make the internet work is just theory?

The idea that the speed of light is about a billion miles per hour or 300000 odd Km per second, that is unproven theory? Like those roadside signs that posts your speed as you drive by and flashes when you hit 70 MPH, based on radar which goes at the speed of light, all theory, nothing to back it up? What are you on right now anyway?

God can't talk to people without their permission. But a world full of people and only one good man? Lord knows there were no good women, right?
Have you guys heard this one?
True or not it would make sense that a loving God would want to empower men and women equally. It would also make sense that the mysoginists of the time would want to keep womens lib out of the bible
