Why did God......

Not exactly, killthesunshine.

"Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the convction of things not seen." (Heb 11:1 NIV)

I don't calculate the odds. I weigh and balance the consequences.

 

and how do you 'WEIGH and balance" the consequences? that smacks of reason to me. not FAITH. how do you accomplish this? you are saying that your belief is REASONABLE?

 

Thank you for the best wishes stockerup . If you don't mind though I have my integrity to maintain and the idea of holding personal relationships with fictional dead people is not my idea of a healthy mind.

Having good reason for faith in an air plane staying up is one thing , having no equivalent reason for faith, only a narrative about a man who didn't know anything and a God who deceitfully tricked him, is another. It’s not my idea of good role model
In Genesis God uses people for It’s own deceitful agenda.

 

That is an amazing statement, Vhen. How can you be so definitively certain? Please enlighten us with your experience.

 

Vehn speaks from known psychology. YOU speak from understanding of the supernatural.

whose assertion is more 'amazing"? ROFL

 

The key word is experience.

 

then why the need to 'weight and balance" your experience?

does FAITH need weighing of the consequences?

 

killthesunshine, Please! Go back and read my post more carefully. I did not say weigh and balance the experience-- I said weigh and balance the consequences.

 

so, hmm you believe because you are afraid of the consequences of disbelief, or you believe based on experience (and true knowledge, which to YOU is one and the same)?

which is it?

 

i just know a pascals wager argument is next.
