Is It Okay To Be Temporal Agnostic but Still Hope For a Gracious God?

Well said. You're not exactly off the hook, but if you are willing to learn and continue to seek, a way will be made for you. I second the recommendation to pray the Rosary.

God CAN be proven, once you come to know him!

Have you been trying to find him according to the directions he's given us for this? Ya don't just pick up the phone ya know?

His directions are in the bible!

It's HIS WORLD, HIS universe. Because of this, you HAVE to play by HIS rules. He is spirit. Right now, you are flesh. He once became flesh in order for mankind to better understand him, yet the evil inclination of the natural state of fleshly mankind prevents the connection of the two, except through his son, Jesus.

Of course Jesus understands this position. Like you, he was once human and can relate to what you are feeling.

Believe me when I tell you, GOD ESPECIALLY LOVES THOSE WHO ARE AGNOSTIC!

He knows that once you "see the light" of him and his reality, you will become a very powerful spokesman on his behalf. Every Christian at some point in their life were agnostic prior to being set free of the curse that's upon every living human on the planet.

Unlike the atheist, he knows his spirit dwells inside you, but you are afraid to acknowledge it. This is why you are wrestling with this question.

He is waiting for you to understand that there is no fear to be found in love.

"Love can build a bridge... between your heart and mine" he shouts.

He's already half way to you. When are you going to attempt to meet him in the middle?

You have right up to your last breath to do it!

You're not quite there yet, disavowing religious beliefs doesn't mean you don't believe in G-d, it just means that you're free from artificially created bullshit.

Being agnostic means you neither believe, or totally disbelieve.

I've never conversed with an open agnostic that opposed God, or held to him.

Usually, agnostic people are very analytical and find it very hard to believe something they can't see, or feel....yet.

Once they (IN FAITH) take the leap, God wraps them up in a shroud of protection, because he knows how fragile they really are, and how quickly their Pure Logic could destroy everything.

One CAN NOT apply logic to spiritual matters!

As the bible say's "One must approach the throne of grace with the mind of a child" in order to receive!

This is the ultimate expression of faith. This is also God's ultimate demand upon us that we have faith. Without faith, flesh and spirit can never unite!

Faith is simply having hope and belief that something is real! The action of faith allows God to reveal himself to mankind, and make unification between flesh and spirit possible..

There is no other way!

Jesus Christ was both flesh AND a physically living spirit essence of God himself.

Through the actions and deeds gifted to us by Jesus while he was here on earth, we find our spiritual salvation.

....AND IT'S A FREE GIFT TO ANYONE WHO DESIRES IT, but there are directions we must follow in order to receive it.

Once received, it can not be taken away unless we deny it.

The atheist denies it!

If God were not real, you'd have no anger in the matter.

BTW, your anger is showing!

Blah,This is a fake thread.You have many more posted.Post away. Last bump..

Cut me a break,you just removed my last post.You might be legit or a cult but you guys have been here over and over the last few months.Give it a break.

Respite? Yes.
Peace? No

You are made up of two bodies. Your spiritual body, and your physical body.

Your spiritual body already knows the truth of Christ, but your physical body is wrestling with doubt because it does not understand spiritual matters.

Faith, and knowing the reality of God is the bridge that brings the two bodies together.

Once in harmony, your fears, confusion, uncertainties, all come to an end.

You already have everything you need, except faith.

Faith is the act that allows the Lving God to move in your life, and reveal his reality and the love he has for us.

Without faith, you may as well worship Santa Clause because none of it will ever be real until you decide to believe in something that you can not see with your physical eyes, or hear with your physical ears.

.....Right up to your last breath.

Praying for you!

Practical reason is still reason. Prudence suggests that understanding the word God (true meaning of the word) would be a good pace to start.

There are many "gods" people worship. Get the definition/understanding of the term and voila... you have wrestled and gotten a Name. You will be Israel.
