Originally posted by Scrawly View PostQuite the scathing rebuke, FF. I don't think it would be fair to mock your reply here as I'm sure practically every Christian has thought somewhere along similar lines at times. I think we as Christian's like to dress doubt up to make it look a bit respectable but the above diatribe is what, I think, accurately characterizes doubt that many wrestle with.Micah 6:8 He has told you, O man, what is good; and what does the LORD require of you but to do justice, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God?

For one, God is spirit, so one couldn't see His true form. Two, seeing His full glory would be as lethal as spending a minute on the Sun's surface. Three, I doubt God would want to unnecessarily terrify everyone by making His presence clear even in a nonlethal manner. Four, wasn't that what the incarnation accomplished? God with us in a relatively non scary form? And I'm sure Jesus had a good reason for not sticking around for centuries.If it weren't for the Resurrection of Jesus, we'd all be in DEEP TROUBLE!

Originally posted by Scrawly View PostInteresting. Almost every Christian I ever came across could resonate with Mark 9:24 at times, and their doubts were more-or-less connected to FF's diatribe in one form or another.Micah 6:8 He has told you, O man, what is good; and what does the LORD require of you but to do justice, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God?

Originally posted by Scrawly View PostWell I suggest you spend some time with Christian's who are doubting/having a crisis of faith, and flirting with heretical doctrines. There are reasons for this reality, and I think FF put his finger on it to an extent, albeit in a crude manner.Veritas vos Liberabit<>< Learn Greek <>< Look here for an Orthodox Church in America<><Ancient Faith Radio

Originally posted by One Bad Pig View PostI can see doubting and wishing for more direct evidence, but FF went far, far beyond that.
