    "The things we can't see is closer to reality than the things we can see." This idea was also expressed by Apostle Paul in 2 Corinthians 4:18: "So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal."

      J.E.H You’re replying a year later? Kinda behind the times here Bud. I’d have to review the video just to get a sense of what your gripe is. I’m not going to bother though. My impression is you’ve got an axe to grind, and on a smear campaign, and you’re kind of a kooky Pentecostal. Seems you’ve got to lay off the Fruit Loops, find your gourd and get back in it.

    God reveals his nature to us by giving us intelligence to know who he is not. People believed in the moon, thunder and planets as god. Then God gives us ability to visit the moon and planets to discover he is neither of those. This is the marvel and greatness of the Creator. There is no ending to his existence. Very good teaching Rabi...from.Kenya

  • @tyronewashington230
    @tyronewashington230 8 месяцев назад

    19:26 A reasonable hang up on wanting to see things, is seeing provides us with sensory data that we can use to make repeatable informed decisions. Imagination of the unseen allows us to think anything, and anything is inconsistent and impossible to communicate. eg I feel warm versus I feel 150 degrees C etc.
    Seeing things in this context is verifiable sensory data. That includes feeling a wall in front of you, but not seeing it.
    Intelligence includes abstract thinking, and also object and experiential thinking. That's nothing wrong with using the word faith, when that's what you mean.
