Impossible!
If you had ever really known God, you still would.

Oh, the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! [b]How unsearchable are His judgments and unfathomable His ways!
All things are delivered unto me of my Father: and no man knoweth the Son, but the Father; neither knoweth any man the Father, save the Son, and he to whomsoever the Son will reveal him.[/b]

Originally posted by josephwAs you said yourself a few hours ago: "Anyone can sound spiritual when referring to God, but that is no guarantee that they know God." This is something we can agree on.
Convince me that you have [b]known God!
I am "eager" not to demonstrate anything of mine, but to show that God is true, as is His Word. Without God's Word you cannot know God.
Plain and simple![/b]

Originally posted by josephwBut as you yourself said, just because you sound spiritual when referring to God, it is no guarantee that you know God. I didn't say it; you said it. There is no guarantee that you know God even if you sound spiritual when referring to Him.
But when God speaks...
That's the difference. Truth and knowledge is of God. The knowledge of God is from God. God makes Himself known. That is how and why we know God.

Thanks for the honesty of your replies. Yes, God is a person* a supernatural being as opposed to an abstruse concept, nebulous force, unknowable supernatural entity or figment of someone's imagination (Exodus 3:14). Here's the context

Let's just hope that God has a sense of humor.
Originally posted by Grampy BobbyOn v. 14, it depends on the translation. Other translations read, "I shall prove to be what I shall prove to be.", or also, "I cause to become." He did cause the universe and ourselves to become through His Son Christ Jesus.

Can anyone prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that this GOD exists?
No?
So why do you all insist on quoting rubbish that cannot be verified?
When all is said and done no one can offer tangible proof that there is
or ever was a GOD.
So stop talking rubbish all of you.
When you die you are buried and you go into the ground and decay.
You ...[text shortened]... our eyes to what goes on around you and offer real
practical solutions instead of talking crap.
Originally posted by josephwhow do you know he has revealed himself to you?
That's right!
I know God because He has revealed Himself to me.
If you want to say that that "sounds spiritual", and is therefore no guarantee that I know God, then go ahead and believe that if you must, but it isn't in the saying of it that there is a guarantee, it's in the believing what God has said that guarantees that I do in fact know God.
It ends there. God has spoken. Want to call Him a liar?
