Re: the 'proof' problem

After Christ's rather unsuccessful Galilean ministry He actually rejoiced rather that despaired. He rejoiced because the things of God are kept only for the sincere seeker. Those who are insincere will never know God, now and forever.
He rejoiced at that? That seems almost kind of mean?
I don't know about your interpretation here, I think even many Christians would disagree with you.
I have always heard Jesus wants everyone to know God, not just a special group?

But take heart about the Proof thing.
Even though a lot of it can't be
proved,
It can't be
disproved either! (without a shadow of a doubt)
Some will get angry at me stating this: But no one here can disprove a lot of the Christian claims either.
You can believe whatever you friggin want to believe.
I can believe we are descended from aliens that landed here 2 million years ago, and we don't really have human bodies, it all just a confluence of light rays, blah blah blah and no one can disprove me. Its great.
Thats the beauty of these Debate & Religion forums. Can't disprove or prove most of it...
However, here you make yours sound like a snobby secret club or something?
"ooo they can't get it, they don't believe. I rejoice!" (they might end up in hell, but oh well) That doesn't sound very Christian?
Why be so selfish with God and make someone jump through special hoops to get with your God?
