@ident_smithjohn @MartinTweats God directly demonstrates to those who earnestly seek Him.

[Micky Dolenz was the Monkees @StrangeMannnn]

@ident_smithjohn @MartinTweats Seeking is finding. And we’re not talking about curiosity exercises—but the real thing.

[Micky Dolenz was the Monkees @StrangeMannnn]

@ident_smithjohn @MartinTweats And then there’s the prospect of Christ.

How can He be known by those who lack a genuine interest in knowing Him?

[Micky Dolenz was the Monkees @StrangeMannnn]

@ident_smithjohn @MartinTweats Through a process of strict logical elimination, we have completely and sufficiently demonstrated it.

Any alternative view instantly destroys its own capacity to make sense.

[Micky Dolenz was the Monkees @StrangeMannnn]

@ident_smithjohn @MartinTweats Everyone’s position is relevant.

It’s relevant for you.

If Christ is a living reality, how would it be possible to have this reality demonstrated in your life, if your heart is not open?And you’re not really seeking and willing?

Isn’t this what He claimed?

[Micky Dolenz was the Monkees @StrangeMannnn]

@ident_smithjohn @MartinTweats A realist embraces possibilities and is willing and open to various forms of evidence.

An idealist often clings to the ideal and restricts himself within a framework—limiting what can be known.

Which are you?

[Micky Dolenz was the Monkees @StrangeMannnn]

@ident_smithjohn @MartinTweats Please define demonstration.

Are you talking measurable with scientific instruments? Testable? Falsifiable? What?

[Micky Dolenz was the Monkees @StrangeMannnn]

@ident_smithjohn @MartinTweats By trying to strip reality of its divine poetic grounding—the world is “ideally” reduced to meaningless dead matter.

Why trade a living reality for a sterile pile of rocks? And then embrace sophisticated word games—pretending to be wise?

Idealism forces a counter-intuitive leap

[Micky Dolenz was the Monkees @StrangeMannnn]

@ident_smithjohn @MartinTweats You are rejecting necessary common sense first principles that are self-evident.

To defy this is to defy both reality and fundamental existence.

You need god or something like god—a necessary foundation.

Materialism inherently lacks a foundational floor.

[Micky Dolenz was the Monkees @StrangeMannnn]

@ident_smithjohn @MartinTweats An uncaused ground of being must exist to hold everything up.

This is a logical necessity for anyone who genuinely wants reality regardless.

You may be overcommitting to fantastical explanations and theories mostly because you want them to be true.

[Micky Dolenz was the Monkees @StrangeMannnn]

@ident_smithjohn @NMoonitz Logically, you cannot have an infinite chain of past causes.

[Micky Dolenz was the Monkees @StrangeMannnn]

@ident_smithjohn @NMoonitz Can you make sense of reality without an Ultimate Reality?

Can you make sense of being without an Ultimate Being?

Existence? Truth? Ethics? Meaning? Purpose? Love?

Please demonstrate…

@_ParisOlivia @NMoonitz “The danger is not lest the soul should doubt whether there is any bread, but lest, by a lie, it should persuade itself that it’s not hungry.”

—Simone Weil

[Micky Dolenz was the Monkees @StrangeMannnn]

@_ParisOlivia @NMoonitz There may be proof within the narrative and reality of your own life.

Do you listen and pay attention to what’s inside you?

[Micky Dolenz was the Monkees @StrangeMannnn]

@apart_blown Wasn’t He supposed to be rejected and despised?

What happened to the Jewish sacrificial system?

Why have they been without Prophet, Priest, or King—the three anointed offices?

Why is the Messiah that the Jews prophesied for the whole world—especially non-Jews?

It all happens.

[Micky Dolenz was the Monkees @StrangeMannnn]

@God_Questioner For some reason the modern mind needs verification from the outside.

But deep down, we know, if god is real, it happens on the inside.

Notwithstanding, compelling support exists involving types, shadows, prophecies etc.—all finding their climatic reality in Christ.

[Micky Dolenz was the Monkees @StrangeMannnn]

@God_Questioner I think that’s because we sense that there may be something out there.
