It's a yes and no question format. Anything in addition to that helps with context but not required.
But I did answer your questions. I was just curious and still curious if you can tell me directly (without belittling my intelligence) if you need instructions to tell you how to live and experience a god-fulfilled life.
It's a yes/no/possible and/or comment-for-context question.
This could have been finished long time ago if you'd do less about belittling what you think I don't understand and just keep it short when I clarified myself the first time.
Why do you do this with every question I ask you, by the way?
It doesn't need to be an argument-just a one or two post answer and/or productive comment.
I'm sorry. ...but I am trying to help you. I'm not trying to belittle you.
I want you to take to heart what I am saying, so that you can learn to improve your conversations.
Right now they are one-sided and you don't seem to realize.
I could say to you, Artist, I'm done because you are not hearing me, but I do try, because I think you try, but it really calls for a great deal of patience, and I do sigh, but I refrain from putting it in print.
Think of talking to someone who only hears themselves when you talk, and you are repeating yourself.
How would you feel.
If I want to understand you, I can't do so, if my head is in my box, looking for things I believe, and trying to fit what you say into them.
I need to drop those, and examine what you are asking me to look at.
Then I am able to understand why you present them... even if I don't want them.
I don't know how better to explain. Maybe something will come to me later, that makes it a lot more simpler.
Your question is this...
I was just curious and still curious if you can tell me directly (without belittling my intelligence) if you need instructions to tell you how to live and experience a god-fulfilled life.
What is a god-fulfilled life?
To you it is feelings, is it not or a personal wanting based on emotions?
So how can my answer make a difference to you, when no matter how many times one explains that God is not just a feeling, you have it in your head, that's what it is.
Hence why you don't understand why instructions are needed, because God is not a teacher - a real person with interest in children... in your mind.
Am I assuming?
I tried explaining this to you before... You may not recall.
I tried to explain by comparing spiritual needs and food, with physical needs and food. How did that go... Do you recall?
To me God is a real person, just as our parents are to us.
To me, living my life to please me - i.e. living however I want and please is out of the question.
In fact, I made a dedication to God, and got baptized. If you don't know what that means, or involve, I can explain... but we have been here before, and after a long conversation, you were still telling me you don't understand it.
Of course you would not.
How can you understand something you don't believe because it doesn't fit what you believe?
You can only understand it when you see where the person is coming from. You don't need to agree.
I understand you, but I don't agree with you... at least not all the time.
Do I want to live this way? Most definitely. Why? I could give you a list, but you may object, so you will have to do what we have - Psalms 34:8 ...for yourself.
Please don't think I am angry with you, or putting you down. I'm trying to explain the situation, as it is... to me.
