I suppose, no, scratch that. I am sure there are those who consider me a kook wearing the banner of Christian. But then again, even the people of God down through the ages thought the same of the legitimate prophets/messengers sent by God...and even killed them. So...as history has proven...

It wasn't a compliment.

Quotable.

No, something simple and down to earth, according to the limited logic of men, i.e., the natural man finding the things of this world to be evidence that God is in the clay. He's not. He is the Potter.

You are going back to Egypt, back to the physical. God is spirit. Christ returns, not to establish heaven on earth, but to gather us up, that where He is (with the Father), we might be also. The future is God. God is spirit. Therefore, if someone builds a physical temple...it means nothing...

The point is...you are simply being selective with what you will and will not believed. You just said it, there are things you cannot know are 100% true, but you believe them. But when presented with evidence of the existence of God, you selectively decide it is not sufficient...even after it...

And there is the crux of the problem. Not us, you. The evidence...is that we have eternally more because it is sufficient. Not everyone evaluates evidence the same. As I said before that is why we have hung juries. It is great if you have decided there is enough evidence. I simply have not...

How about banks...do you use them? How about driving...do you cross intersections? How about...? How about..? You love, you trust, and you believe a ton. But you are not willing to offer the same to the creator of the universe, your maker. You have a problem. It's you.

Are you not continually demanding evidence, that is to say "proof", by continually going on and on about that being your terms? Of course you are. No. Asking for evidence is not demanding anything. If you don't have any more as you have said then I will stop asking you. And no, I do not...

Yes, I see that. Yet these are not the times of building with stones, but the times of every stone being thrown down. Matthew 24:2

There you go again...projecting your own character flaws on others. It is I who have rebuked you. Yet you persist in your campaign against the finished work of Christ - against Christ.

This whole evidence line is just a cop out. People love, trust, and believe in things and other people all the time. But here you are not willing to give the creator of the universe, your maker, what you have undoubtedly given any number of credit card companies. You deserve nothing.

I/we don't want you to "believe" something. We're here. You came to us. We have something to share if you care to know the truth. It might please us to have you know the truth, but we are not here to twist your arm. That's it. Are you not continually demanding evidence, that is to say "proof"...

That is not what the problem is here. The problem is not recognizing that it is completely normal and to be expected that the younger child not expect the older child to "prove" their coming reality to them. You just made your demand (again) in the sentence above, expecting that we should show...

The tone is not confrontational, but actually very natural. We are acting like older siblings act with younger siblings. It's not your fault that you are unaware of things you have never experienced. But it is equally wrong to place the burden on the older sibling - it's not their problem, and...

...No mention of Peter?

It's all spiritual, but yes, his is manifest in the kingdom given to him for a short time.

Your hatred and name-calling leaves you without.

Of actual stones...or spiritual stones? 1 Peter 2:5

This is all just a big misunderstanding, for lack of spiritual discernment. Each thing named has a simple answer, but for lack of understanding people make it out to be something complicated and end up pushing it all off to the future because they are blind to what is right in front of them...
