Subject: God Question |
Bible Note: Hi Joel, Yes, and many have been lead astray by so-called experiences. God did creat us as beings with emotions and I'm thankful for that. I believe He gave us those emotions in part so that we would be able to discern right from wrong, good from bad in our spirit in correlation with our logical understanding. But Satan is very clever and he has presented us with lie after lie where our emotions are concerned. The things of the world can make us "feel" so good. And you bring up idolatry. Absolutely. We chase after that "feel good" until it becomes our purpose, our goal in life; to feel good about life and about ourselves. I believe this is a good reason why, to my understanding, God does not use experiences as a primary method of speaking to us. It makes good sense that He provided us with a written guide by which to judge all things. in love, Jeff |
