If people really had the right "revelations" and "correct doctrine's then their lives should line up with the bible, and what it says that believers should do.
And this is also profound. I find that also to be the truth, that the most resistance you get towards believing in God, are those who profess to be christians. It's always doubt, and mocking, saying things such as, "God isn't going to do that" "You're wasting your time" "God doesn't do miracles today like He did in bible times" "You're an idiot, you're a moron, we have science, why are you waiting on God."
This reminds me of a conversation I had with a co-worker. I had a really painful ache that day and one of the first thing he asked me was, "did you take an aspirin?" I said "no, I'm going to pray to God for my healing," Then he said, "Oh you're just going to endure it then?"
Absolutely no faith in God, no faith that He directly does anything anymore. Reminds me of what Timmy said the other day, on another thread, about when should believers really depend on God? When it's something that's easily explained away, where it's not clear whether it's God's doing or just your or someone's else doing?
I'm serious, some times I feel like I'm talking to Atheists when it comes to believing on God.
Hmm. Can't say I've seen much, if any, mocking of the type you cite, here on AFF. I don't even do that! (An agnostic, btw, if you didn't realize.)
