Well, spiritual things are seen detached from the body, without the senses. So when you say you read only through the lenses of your own eyes, you are wrong already. You need to think spiritually. If you are humane, you ought to be able to see them.
Although I am schizophrenic, when I interviewed after completing graduate school for what I could do, I would say the word "OK" and "hurricane" at the same time. I said it 12 times. I genuinely believed that every time I said it, I would stop major hurricanes for a year. (That was December 2006). As it turns out, there were no hurricanes above category 3 for the next 10 years. I've confirmed this recently. Does that mean I stopped major hurricanes for 12 years? No, but what it does mean is that I had a spiritual experience.
When we are evaluating God to see if we believe in Him, since prophets are God's ambassadors on earth, we can understand Him through them. It says in the Old Testament that if a prophet prophesied falsely we shouldn't fear them, so we can give them a chance. We don't just say, God could be nice or God could be mean. We study doctrine and see if it makes sense that God is what God seems to claim He is.
These are spiritual concepts or principles that you can try to see if they can help you by applying them to your life. Your humane concepts should go together with how you imagine God.
I'm trying! Please think twice before you harden your heart. If you would soften your heart, I just have this small hope that I might be able to help you in any way.
