Quoting: Anonymous Coward 803433 But who am I kidding? I would give anything if he would just give me a phone call some days. Ahh!! you should have. I would have thought long and hard on it LOL!

Anonymous Coward User ID: 58398442 United States 05/23/2014 06:11 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I'll bite (Disclosure: What I'm about to say is based only on my personal beliefs and experiences.) I too wish that I could just walk up to God and sit down to a long conversation about "the meaning of life" (amongst other things) over a warm cup of coffee. Since God isn't human (from what I understand)that probably isn't going to happen. Unfortunately for me, I only have the basis of my own human experience (in all its aspects) and the experiences of others that I observe to learn by. It is hard to understand concepts outside a human perspective when I only have the human perspective available to me. Yet, I think that the human intuition and conscience may aid in part of this understanding. I like to think of the conscience (that gut feeling, that sense of right/wrong lurking in the back of the mind)as a communication device of sorts. Heeding conscience has aided me in times when logic alone failed. Why? Well, because it helped me to look at the greater picture of what was happening around me, to look at all sides of the story, and then choose my path based on the outcome I could see by taking a step back. Does that mean I'm talking directly to God, through my conscience? No, I don't think so. What I do think is, conscience has been given to me by my creator so that I can see things from an outside perspective. It's like a weather almanac, sort of, and it helps me see through the storms and ill winds in life to the fair weather that is just beyond the horizon. Keep seeking the truth, OP. |

I guess my biggest question is does the truth have to come from GOD and do you need his answer after many hours of prayer and self reflection. I have just never gotten an answer. I have also tried to follow my "conscience" over the years as you have said to either the right or wrong decisions. I have paid many consequences, and reaped many rewards. As I come towards the end of this mortal life I just still feel that there is something undone that I need to finish! Guitarguy55 The Breaker of many a G-String! |

User ID: 17878040 United States 05/23/2014 06:22 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I have been on this forum for several years now and I have gotten good as well as not so good information from the good people here. The people who know me know I have survived much which is too long a story to get into now, but I truly feel that I have been called for a higher purpose and I have prayed on this, really sat down and read the Bible, talked with religious people to no avail. Quoting: Guitarguy55 I wish God had a direct connection so I could find out what he really wants from me. I'm searching high and low for this purpose and maybe someone here can help me find it. Thanking all of you as always Guitarguy55 First I would like to say thank you. Out at main page of forum reading topics and see wish GOD had direct email. I thought yep this person is lost. Gonna pop in be a good witness and say don't need one,if you just believe you can have a direct line to GOD. Click..read. What a giant dick I am. I feel just like this person and it took me thinking I was above,only to be humbled and realize this person know GOD more than I. Thank you for a life changing experience. |
