Dimpled chads in ballots from the 2000 Us presidential election represent a quesion of voter intent, because some voters didn't punch the tab all the way through to make their vote clear.

We can't put a hunger for God into someone. When people seek God with all their heart they do so out of self interest. Who knows what are all the means God uses to draw us to him. But there must always be a draw before someone comes to christ. John 6:44 I have often heard of the "God shaped...

In this case I don't think encouraging an athiest to read the whole bible is any benefit to them. It would be better to keep the subjects of discussion focused on salvation. And to focus on bible verses that challange erroneous preconceptions. This way you do not add to confusion.

And what was the transfiguration, but I believe a display of that glory. Hence he displayed his glory before he was glorified? Yes I believe that, and chronology goes out the window due to his eternal nature.

Such a good analogy. Reminds me of a dream I had once where my church was selling plastic wrapped packages of desserts. People would pick at the contents and throw away what they didn't want.

Looking only at historical accounts, the Holy Spirit appears to be God's means of directly interacting with this world. His physical manifestations were there from the beginning, hovering over the waters. In the temple he hovered over the Arc. He can still manifest as a cloud, according to...
