Truth is, if there was solid evidence for the existence of God, it then would be a point of fact with no room for faith.
Therefore is it possible that the continued neutrality is being sustain by God for our benefit?

" He shall stand in the Temple of God showing that he is a god,..with all deceivableness of them that perish" This of course forecasts the reconstruction of the Jewish Temple in Jerusalem. Jerusalem shall be vassal of the future Imperial Roman Empire as was in the past and under the auspices of Rome/Constantinople shall the Jews be allowed to rebuild the Temple.

Doesn't it depress you, talking war up, about who is going to slay whom - knowing full well, that their only problem, was where they were born.
Permalink Reply by Suzanne Olson-Hyde on October 16, 2012 at 3:15am @Michael - You talk of spiritual healers, if those who use them claim they work, what problem have you with that.
This statement shows how gullible you are. Do you also believe in crystals, homeopathy, and do you believe in tithing, to keep these very wealthy religions with their huge buildings and hierarchy in the lifestyle they have become accustomed.
The operative word here, is CLAIMED - I have often wondered why any xian goes to a Doctor or hospital - they just aren't praying hard enough? And geez, wouldn't that save the country a lot of money!
Spiritual stuff just doesn't work, people who claim they do, are charlatans and soothsayers- and going to Africa , that is when you REALLY know they are liars and CHEATS. The ones who do believe in spiritualism are superstitious to begin with, and are easy prey, I understand why, especially in third world countries, they are easily taken in, they WANT to believe in an afterlife, because their life is so shit.
Unless people show their credentials while fleecing the locals - how can YOU believe it.

Permalink Reply by Michael on October 18, 2012 at 10:00pm 100% of what the world knows to be a Christian is unfortunately a casualty of the Roman/ Byzantium falsehood and is deceived. Thus any of these that rely on faith without having their lives right with God are threading on dangerous ground. God is gracious but he does not endorse falsehood.
Yet God is merciful in many instances.
Permalink Reply by archaeopteryx on October 18, 2012 at 10:17pm Rome is dead, Italy nearly bankrupt, and Byzantium is barely a memory in ancient history books. You're living in a world that no longer exists, Michael.
BTW, which god would that be? Zeus, Odin, Amurru? I have a list that would extend past the capabilities of this page to hold - to which invisible sky creature could you possibly be referring?

To the contrary, in direct fulfillment of the prophecies, The Roman Empire and Byzantium are on the rise. I have spoken volumes on this site about the EU, its expansion eastward, its common currency, (the first time since Emperor Diocletian and the eminent assimulation of Turkey, the former land mass of Byzantium. This despite its fall to the Sultanates and Turks Constaninople has remained the spiritual center of the Orthodox Church. Both Rome and Constantinople are the two horns of Chrisian Roman Empire.
Collectively, this cities still rule over 1.5 billion people, spiritually. the temporal power is returning, even as we speak.. It was no accident that the EU was forged by the Treaty of Rome.

No god to be neutral, or anything else, actually. Just sad people who believe violence is the way forward, war is inevitable. I am not fussed by what any one believes or not believe, it is when it overflows into my life, that it is an affront to me.
Did your parents hide from you when you were a child, just so you would have 'faith' in their existence. Not just words from a translated book, or words in your head - proof, is needed.
