You sure have Basil pegged... grin. That's him to a tee. As Connie said, it is sad that he is raising his two daughters to be atheist--having said he wants his children to think with their brains and not get caught up in a bunch of fairy tales. Sad, huh?

As Dori said you have Basil pegged to a tee.I guess we mention him because we've known him (in another forum) for along time and remember when both his children were born and how proud he was of them (and still is I'm sure). They are teen-agers now. He is an engineer (and I'm sure a very good one) and I believe engineers, as well as scientists, are the ones who have the most trouble accepting the Bible as the inerrant Word of God. Also although I'm not sure I believe he was a Roman Catholic in his younger years and apparently something happened to cause him to reject everything spiritual and only accept what he can see, feel or touch and for which there is a "earthly" explanation.

I believe that what is written in 1st Cor. 1:23-31 as well as chapter 2 explains why those your describing cannot seem to come to the knowledge of the truth sometimes.

Meaning they think to much, only believing what is logical to their minds I guess. :-) Not choosing to believe what they do not understand within their own minds in faith.

There are many people like that it seems, choosing to only believe what is reasonable to them.

And you cannot be like that in order to follow the Lord.

Another scripture that says the same thing is written in Is. 55:8-11. As well as what God finally told Job also beginning in Job 38-41.

I believe chapter 41 telling us who these people are following, as well as whose child they also belong to as well, unfortunately.

Author: Hillbilly [ Edit \| View ]	Date Posted: 21:21:57 10/06/10 Wed I also think often they can't or won't come to the knowledge of the truth because they want a god they can control. As you cited God's ways are not our ways and His thoughts are not our thoughts. Thanks for you input and it is good to see you here again God bless.
