They always say "you can't see air but it's there"
1. Can you trap God in a balloon?
You can trap air in a balloon
2. Can you test the speed of how fast God flys?
You can test the speed of wind
3. Can you see God's molecules with a special microscope?
You can see air molecules with a microscope
You god believers dont think enough. You proved this with your comments

Wow, we agree on something... this "wind" argument certainly is QUITE worthless!

You can trap air in a balloon, but not all of it at the same time lol
You can test and see how fast God comes to help you ... just be in peril and He'll be there at just the right moment.
And each air molecule is different, isn't it ... you can't test all of them
We think enough thanks ... besides, only a sarcastic, legalistic mind would think that we meant God has "air particles" when say that God is LIKE the wind.

Ah - I can't see your brain, but surely, it must be there...somewhere.
We equate God with air simply because those who don't believe often don't believe what they cannot see. It is merely an example to say that you can see the effects of air and wind, even if you can't see the air itself. Same with God. If you are unable to grasp such a simple example as that, then don't blame Christians for not thinking enough. Your comments have already proven otherwise.

God made the air- and that was an analogy to something invisible, but is still there. I feel God when it storms, because God made the storms, just like I feel God in the wind because God is all spirit and can be anywhere He wants to be and everywhere at once if He wills. I have felt the presence of God many times- something hard to explain, but something you just have to experience. But this question is rather silly, don't you think?

I don't know anyone who believes that God IS wind or air. The Hebrew word for Spirit also means wind or breath, but English obviously has three different words for those three phenomenon.
Are we God believers supposed to be awestruck by your amazing thinking?

Equate is the wrong word. For early cultists, the spirit was the wind god and yahweh was the earth god. The two got muddled up but the bible still sometimes talks of them separately.

It means to me that I walk by faith not sight, just like I have faith that the air is there. I also have faith in God with out seeing Him. And If I am wrong about the whole thing I will know when I die but in the meantime I have lead a good life with love in my heart.

The Bible always uses metaphors or parallels (where the word parable came from) to help us understand things we could not otherwise comprehend. I’ve never heard air (at least not commonly) being used for God but that would imply something that is unseen but known to be very real.
BTW God is not ever going to come to you on your terms.

quite the tale of Elijah says extremely mainly that "God grow to be not contained in the wind." yet i imagine you do not forget that it really is only a metaphor, something it really is authentic it truly is not actual seen with the bare eye. it truly is all, you may in hardship-free words push a metaphore thus far. there is not any reason to anticipate God has a similar actual properties as wind - it truly is purely hardship-loose experience.

You are missing the point, its trying to show that we cant see the air we breathe but we know we are breathing it because are lungs are moving. The same way, we cant see God but we know he is real from looking at life and our surroundings and our existence.

Can you believe that if you stop breathing you will die can you do anything to stop that, God can
