You are angry with people saying "well God just doesn't answer everything" and using that as an excuse to remain ignorant right?? If that's what you mean then, yes, I understand your frustration but try not to let it make you angry. You know that God will answer you in His perfect time and that's all that matters. We have to somewhat let go of the ones who can't see b/c we cannot make them see.

Yeah Krista,
I'm not angry with God, no way!
I do get frustrated sometimes when my parents and friends of mine use this statement to suggest that no one can know God.
It always bothered me. I try to explain to them why I don't go to church and all I get is statements like this and "You think you know everything!" It boggles my mind!!
I do know that God reveals in his time, I just wanted to share my frustrations with a few like-minded people!
Thanks Guys

Hello Antaiwan,
Yes, you are entitled to your feelings regarding people that prefer to remain ignorant of knowing God and his Truths and purposes(John. 17:3), however, because many are called and few are chosen in this age and ages past, many will choose ignorance, apparently it's God's plan for them. I can relate to your frustration with those that don't seem to care about getting to know more about God. Applying that Scripture at 1Peter. 3:15, (Always ready to answer someone who asks of you a reason for the hope in you), is helpfull to consider. Ray received a new E-mail entitled WITNESS, received today that may be helpfull in this regard. Good thread and interesting responses.
Your Brother, Samson.

Is it me or does anybody else feel this way about it??
It makes me angry to believe that God, my Father will not give me
answers to the questions I ask!! If I don't know something about something
I wait for him to reveal it to me. The key word is WAIT!
It seems that those who are quick to repeat this statement
are content in their ignorance of somethings.
I know paul said be content in all things but I don't think his statement is
contradictory to seeking my father and knowing my father!
Am I wrong for feeling this way?? Is it justifiable anger???
I need help with this one. :-\

Try your hand at performing a visual show to a BLIND audience i.e... magic, dancing, acrobats,,ect.
Altough limited by Non-sight, they can sense the something is going on, but are clueless to what is REALLY happening.
Try your hand at performing an audio show to a DEAF audience i.e... singing, acoustics, percussion,,ect.
Altough limited by Non-hearing, they can sense the something is going on, but are clueless to what is REALLY happening.
Now imagine for a second you having to explain to each a DEAF person and a BLIND person what is happing on stage, as the show progresses. The AMBIANCE being the biggest draw of the show would surly be missed by the deaf and blind individuals. The audiences is left UNFULLFILLED, thirsty, hungry,..UNENTERTAINED.
Now try tasking your FAITH at explaining SPIRITUALY, to a person whose eyes and ears are not open, "WHY God doesn't give the answers to everything ". The persons can not HEAR the Words of God, nor SEE the MIND of Jesus the Christ, but they can sense the something is going on, but are clueless to what is REALLY happening.
All the while the SPIRIT AMBIANCE is MISSED, the people are left UNFULLFILLED, thirsty, hungry,..UNDISCERNED.
All the World is indeed a stage and WE ALL are participants of the grandest of shows "God's Grace and Love", Where ALL the Truths and Answers to everything is given in living SPIRIT.
peace and understanding

Read Isaiah 28. God reveals the answers we search for as and when He sees fit, when we are spiritually ready to recieve it.

Hi! David
I agree with you, if man does not give God His due reverence then he is not spiritually ready to receive those answers. The answer he is getting "No answer" is the only answer he can expect. Mortal man must learn humility, reverence, honour and respect for his Almighty Sovereign God before he can expect to receive anything from Him: And now this commandment is for you, O priests. "If you do not listen, and if you do not take it to heart to give honor to My name,” says the Lord of hosts, “then I will send the curse upon you and I will curse your blessings; and indeed, I have cursed them already, because you are not taking it to heart. Behold, I am going to rebuke your offspring, and I will spread refuse on your faces, the refuse of your feasts; and you will be taken away with it. Then you will know that I have sent this commandment to you, that My covenant may continue with Levi,” says the Lord of hosts. “My covenant with him was one of life and peace, and I gave them to him as an object of reverence; so he revered Me and stood in awe of My name. True instruction was in his mouth and unrighteousness was not found on his lips; he walked with Me in peace and uprightness, and he turned many back from iniquity. For the lips of a priest should preserve knowledge, and men should seek instruction from his mouth; for he is the messenger of the Lord of hosts." (Mal.2:1-7).

The key word is not "WAIT" The key words are, "HONOUR", "RESPECT" & "REVERENCE" both in the written and spoken words from the heart in due humility.
That's what my posting to Ataiwan was all about. He is addressed as Ataiwan not ataiwan with the respect due to him as a person. Should it not be more so for his Sovereign God? But he shows no respect for man or God, and I have no time for such plain ignorance.
God bless you brother in our joint walk in Christ.
Love in Christ Jesus.
