agree that the discussion of God is a spiritual matter and not an educational matter and given the ability to acquire this spiritual knowledge can only be given by God not books. This is why nonbelievers cannot comprehend

Wow! That sounds fair. So you get to put God is a special box that is outside of the mind. And the only one who can give you knowledge of the thing in the special box IS the thing in the special box. And if we aren't given the knowledge by the thing in the box then we have a right to shuddup.
Where do I sign up??

"Your side has no idea what it is talking about, so I will not give you a benefit of a doubt, just treat you as children'
This is all you will get, when asking this ? . Yes, to know it is something to be investigated, going thru a spiritual happening would be incomprehensible to those who steadfastly claim there is no GOD, because science cannot show it, TODAYS philosophies do not allow it, personal acceptance is disallowed because it leads to an accountability before a salvation. Past atrocities, committed by "Christians" have been recorded, yet, they rarely will agree that those Christians were mislead, misguided by men who bought spiritual office for power and position. social standing. Those who disagree with the modern christian because we feel that there are too many freedoms, that contradict nature and man. Yet, they insist that nature is what THEY define it as....picking thru research that backs their beliefs, yet ignoring research to the contrary.

1 Corinthians 2:14:
The person without the Spirit does not accept the things that come from the Spirit of God but considers them foolishness, and cannot understand them because they are discerned only through the Spirit.
Romans 8:5:
Those who live according to the sinful nature have their minds set on what that nature desires; but those who live in accordance with the Spirit have their minds set on what the Spirit desires.

Is the word "comprehend" or "believe"?
You claim it's spiritual. The word "spiritual" doesn't even have a tangible meaning. It's a cop out word
You dont believe the tooth fairy exist
Does that mean you can't comprehend it on a spiritual level?

Though God is a spiritual being there is no truth between believers and non-believers. Even a belief such as Wicca, paganism, ect. there is a God or Gods. It is felt, taught and preached, or practiced. We are all believers, it is all spiritual. And books are just a tool for guidance.

So the way to heaven is to remain ignorant and not engage in critical thought? To let those who claim to represent God tell you what to do without using any sort of logic to question the way they run your life? Sounds like that might be open to a little abuse now and then, especially since there are so many interpretations of "God's" word. Good luck with that.

Yes. 1 Cor. 2: 14 reads, "But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness to him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned."
1 Cor. 1: 18 says, :"For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness."
The lost remain ignorant of God's truth, not because of a lack of knowledge, althought that's usually true also, but because they are natural, and they are perishing.

I disagree. The knowledge of God and belief IN God are two separate things. The knowledge is when you entertain the idea of His existence, and the BELIEF comes when you act on faith and decide to trust Him.

We cannot agree to that. Believers feel an obligation to spread the Word of God. That's part of our belief. Non-believers feel that we are pushing our beliefs on them and I do know some people that do that. They are quick to say You're going to Hell! We can agree to disagree though without damnation and insults to our intelligence.

What non-believers cannot comprehend is why this ability is not given to everybody , and why people who claim to have this ability, cannot agree with others who claim to have this ability as to exactly what it is.
