in response to the part i bolded, yes, absolutely. they are exactly the same valid reasons we haven't had direct and full reveals from bigfoot, middle earth occupants, little green men in area 51, mermaids and leprechauns, santa claus and fairies and ghosts. They don't exist.MG 2.0 wrote: ↑Thu Aug 25, 2022 3:56 pmWhy do you think that the fact that essentially God IS NOT the silver platter god I’ve been referring to is a purely a selfish move on His part? Can you think of some valid reasons God might have for not revealing Himself directly and fully to every living being on the planet no matter what?

If you're going to argue your case, you'll need to provide your own reasons you think it's valid.
I’m assuming that you believe God has rewarded your efforts. Forgive me, MG, but from what you write, it’s not coming across that way.
You are comparing Bigfoot, leprechauns, etc., with a creator God? Discounting and not believing in a creator God for the same reasons you discount those things in your list is easy to do on its surface, granted, but as you dig a little deeper and realize you’re talking about the Creator of all things I think you can see that things get a little messy at that point.Marcus wrote: ↑Thu Aug 25, 2022 6:52 pmin response to the part i bolded, yes, absolutely. they are exactly the same valid reasons we haven't had direct and full reveals from bigfoot, middle earth occupants, little green men in area 51, mermaids and leprechauns, santa claus and fairies and ghosts.

You had me worried for a moment, Marcus. I thought that you were going to mention the Loch Ness Monster along with these mythical creatures.Marcus wrote: ↑Thu Aug 25, 2022 6:52 pmin response to the part i bolded, yes, absolutely. they are exactly the same valid reasons we haven't had direct and full reveals from bigfoot, middle earth occupants, little green men in area 51, mermaids and leprechauns, santa claus and fairies and ghosts.

and i repeat:You didn’t see John Polkinghorne, whom I’ve referred to, spending any time with leprechauns or little green men in Area 51...
There was something MUCH BIGGER that he was looking at...
but, you won't do it, as evidenced by your invoking of a Polkinghorne site without stating your own position.
I wouldn’t expect anything less…or more…from you in response to my posts and thoughts as a believer.
I had to re-read the OP since MG has hijacked the thread to bare his testimonkey and I caught this. I’m sure you shared it before, but it might be useful for us to know how you managed to bounce on the Mormon church ‘back in the day’ without the aid of the Interwebs. Frankly, I’m always in awe of thos pre-internet days where people here and there fought through the gaslighting and manipulation to figure out the Book of Mormon and Mormon chirch is a con job.
