It refers to what Christ told the Church of the Laodiceans in John"s Revelation chapter 3 verse 15.Waffling? What in my post gave you that idea? I put the same amount of credence in the idea of flying pink elephants as I do god/satan. That's unlikely to change until I'm presented with concrete evidence. I don't think that's too much to ask.
Your trying to evade doing any work. If someone gave you the proof that required you do the math and work it out and strive to be diligent so that you make no mistake and get help if you need it to expertly apply every application so that the predicted results and evidence is manifested you would stand there and demand proof before hand and ridicule and mock the entire experiment just to get out of it. How can that me an exageration? That is what scoffers do.Is there a reason why I should not be confident in the idea that someone should present testible evidence if they expect others to believe their claims? Sorry, but I don't believe anyone's story without evidence, or at the very least, it should be plausible.
I never said anything about a tingley feeling. When the gospel is accomplished correctly so that the promised results are manifested you are visited by the power of Almighty God who then performs an act of creation upon your heart, mind and soul. Undergoing such a mighty transformation that creates a new creature is nothing slight or vague or transitory. It makes you a completely different person with added powers and abilities that were not present a few seconds before.
You are given to exist on a higher plane that sees and understands what those on the natural common plane cannot even guess at. This is the same state of all the ancient saint who came to know the Lord.
God has chosen this act to prove himself unto man. He wants to create in us this new heart. Only God can so powerfully and fundamentally change us. You will dismiss this as insanity or drugs wierd brain chemistry. That is just stupid scoffing.
And if you need hard, in your face evidence that God exists then Mount Olympus in Salt Lake City is that hard, factual, observable proof that God cut out of the mountain without hands that splendid work of art for his Strange Act of the last days. To repudiate not only the LDS hypocrisy but the apostate, atheist, learned fools that fill up the whole earth. It would not be nice to return to destroy the world without giving everyone a great big proof. WHOSE ON THE LORD'S SIDE?
