hippyjoe1955 Seriously?? You started off by sarcastically "Yawning" and assumed that I thought I was smarter than everyone else. How is that helping me "determine the rainbow me"?? And if I was "blind" why would I trust your word that there are colors after your initial statement? I hope you're lying and really we're just trying to insult me because if that is that's how you help others the show anyone you're compelling to "blind" and not doing your God, messiah, or religion any favors. And just telling people they are wrong and blind is anymore compelling.
But I see you colloquialism and raise you this scenario: If there were a one blind person that had the instruments to measure the wavelength that read in Braille, they could tell that the light that bounced of certain objects have a different wavelength in the form of a number and that the "color" described to them by people have their own unique set; they would measure many different numbers when shining a light on something clear or crystal. And knowing how rain and the atmosphere work it becomes plausible and fair for them to say that a "rainbow" in the sky as described to them can happen even though they can't see it. (Plus If they were in one of those cultures where the word for "blue" and "green" are the same, they could then tell they are different as opposed to everyone's word. And that there are "colors" (like infared and ultraviolet) that people can see because they never mentioned them) So then, if there were a 3rd blind person, and I told them leaves are green because everyone tells me, and the other man said leaves are green because of its wavelength and everything people describe as green has a similar wavelength and you can "see for yourself. Only one of use has real demonstrable evidence. But I get the point your trying to make. But mine is if not relying on faith impossible the past, it certainly is possible to not rely on it today. And as time goes on, the more we know and the less anyone has to rely on faith.
I asked you have you ever questioned your faith or have you always been a believer because if you never questioned it then how would know how to research it? And in turn how would you know whether or not it is possible to come to a different conclusion that is not God?
And were my questions not valid of a child or any thinking person? If reading with the "Spirit" is looking past contradictions and impossibilities, then it's basically just reading with ignorance or without critical thinking.
