Every atheist I've debated eventually lands here: if God is real, why can't we see him? I used to fumble this. Then I read 1 Timothy 1:17.
Paul is mid-argument about grace and his own conversion when he breaks suddenly into praise:
"Now to the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only God, be honour and glory for ever and ever."
"Eternal," "immortal," and "the only God" make sense as praise. But invisible? We don't praise men for being unseen. Why does Paul list it as something as glorious as the majesty and immortality of God?
Unless invisibility is not a limitation. Unless it is out of gracious design.
Paul met the unmediated light of Christ on the road to Damascus, he was knocked into the dirt, and blind for three days. He knows what the alternative to invisible feels like. It produced collapse, not worship. His praise is a survivor's testimony.
When people ask for God to be visible, they don't understand what full divine visibility would actually require.
God is omnipresent in essence. Therefore, total divine visibility fundamentally requires omnipresent visibility.
If God reveals Himself to the fullest extent of His capacity, He must be visible everywhere, at all times.
In the room you closed the door to. In the moment you spent your life believing nobody was watching. A visible, omnipresent God is not majestic; He is psychologically catastrophic. Nobody wants this, not even the devout.
Look at Isaiah 6. The prophet sees merely the hem of God's garment filling the temple, not the full glory of God, just the overflow. His response? "Woe to me, I am undone." A partial glimpse unmade him completely.
God isn't after bland empirical agreement. James already ended that: the demons believe, and tremble.
Intellectual assent is a bar the devil clears daily.
God isn't running a census of the convinced; He is seeking genuine love. And genuine love requires genuine choice, which requires that the object of love not be overwhelming.
This is why women despise love bombing. A man who floods your psychological space until refusal becomes impossible isn't loving you, he is eliminating the conditions for love. The "yes" he extracts is engineered by exhaustion.
God does the exact opposite. He veils His glory precisely so that you retain the dignity of saying no. The love bomber makes himself so large that you have no choice. God makes Himself small enough that you do.
Which brings us directly to the Incarnation.
The Incarnation is God making Himself visible enough to be known, but small enough to be rejected without fuss.
It is the most precise solution to the most precise problem: God doesn't arrive as a sky-filling terror, but as a baby in a manger in a backwater town. You can walk past a carpenter from Nazareth. You cannot walk past the throne of Isaiah 6.
The Bible is already clear that every knee will bow, a day of compelled reality as certain as the sun. But God is not eager for a forced crowd. Right now, He is seeking the single, freely given return of a heart in love.
When an atheist asks why he cannot see God, he is asking a better question than he knows. The answer is not absence. The answer is restraint.
Now one can finally understand why Paul says INVISIBLE, and means it as highest acclaim. It is not a limitation, it is a mercy.
Traffic reporter Chris Sullivan's son Tommy was at Seattle Center when Sunday's deadly shooting broke out, and this morning the entire Seattle's Morning News team is grappling with what happened — the chaos in the streets, the misinformation coming from the mayor's office, and the hours of silence from leadership during one of the worst shootings this city has seen in years.
David @friedberg explains the rise of socialism and the hypocrisy of @RoKhanna:
"It's a lot easier to claim an enemy and get elected, than it is to fix a difficult policy problem."
"Ro Khanna is the perfect example of this."
"This is some dude who has a $300M net worth. His children have memberships at 3 country clubs."
"The dude lives in a $10M house in Washington, DC."
"And he used to be the moderate Silicon Valley guy who would go around to all the tech CEOs and founders and VCs and be like, 'Give me your money. I'm a moderate. We're going to make the Democratic Party work for you.'"
"Then he saw the tides change, and he's like, 'Oh, this is yum, yum. I'm going to run for president in 2028.'"
"Just to be clear on this, he is so unlikable, I think he'll likely end up being Secretary of Housing and Urban Development if AOC is elected president."
"I do not disagree with him or Gavin or anyone else that tax policy in America is fucked up."
"When billionaires borrow against their unrealized capital gains, they should pay capital gains tax. Capital gains tax should be 40%, not 15% or 18% or 20%. In fact, labor should pay less. Income tax should be much lower. Capital gains should be much higher. That would be a fair tax policy."
"I don't know a lot of people who are wealthy who will look me in the eye and truly disagree with that."
"It's a lot of bullshit when we all say, 'It incentivizes investment.' Great, it incentivizes investment. What are you going to do with your excess capital if the tax rate is 40% versus 20%? You're not gonna invest it now? Of course you're going to fucking invest it."
"But instead of those practical solutions like I just laid out, they're all like, 'Let's go fire up the fucking socialist train because it's worked so well in fucking Cuba and Venezuela and the Soviet Union and all these other places.'"
"What both parties are missing is a policy agenda that says: Here's the shit we have to do to keep America from going down the socialist death spiral. And they all should be fucking doing it, both sides."
Judge Dave Larson (Ret.) is running for Washington Supreme Court Position 5 on a simple idea: the judicial system belongs to the people, not the government, and that he is a judge, not a politician. The best way to help get Dave elected is to tell other people in your feed and elsewhere that you're with him and that he is worthy of their support, too.
We've built a supporter toolkit to make it easy. Ready-made graphics, sized for every platform, no design skills required. Grab the "I Voted for Dave" sticker to show you've returned your ballot, or pick any of the other designs and share them along with what this race means to you.
Fill it out, share the word, and help spread it before August 4th!

Law firm SussmanGodfrey is demanding courts make my 16 hour deposition confidential. THEY DON’T WANT YOU TO SEE THIS.
I have made it clear to the firm, my intent is to make the depositions public & expose their firm & the multi hundred billion dollar business of extorting settlement fees from small, medium & large companies, entrepreneurs, startups, founders, Artist, and other successful people.
I’m committed to work with the Trump administration to change the tort reform rules in this country to stop litigators from being able to weaponize the system against people who can’t defend themselves.
By simply changing the law to have the firm who pushes for the class action to BE HELD RESPONSIBLE for all cost if they lose. This will stop this nonsense of wasting money, energy and resources. These firms do not create a product, they do not make the world a safer or better place and contribute nothing worthwhile to society.
I’ve already had millions of views in the first 24 hours of posting this Instagram and YouTube.
Video below is 2 hrs - the entire deposition is at my YouTube channel so the world can finally hear my side of the story after six years of having my name & reputation challenged by criminal law firms attempting to extort me & click baiters using my name to make content.
Share, before the courts sanctioned me to take this down.
Every person living in a western nation needs to listen to every word of this
Katherine Berbalsingh went to the University of Oxford and is Headmaster at Michaela Community School in London, UK
She PERFECTLY explains the mass indoctrination into the narrative of oppressor and oppressed, and of hating White People
I will write only some of this out because it’s very important, however you should listen to it so you can hear the passion:
“The culture shift comes from what children learn at school and online. Ask any young person what history they learned at school, and they’ll tell you, Hitler. Ask them what else? Slavery. Ask them what else? American civil rights.
In fact, what little they know of history will be all about Black and brown people fighting for equality against the white man, women fighting men for the vote, gay and trans people fighting for various rights. Our young people have been taught that history is simply one long story about various groups struggling under the oppressive dead white man.
— History is taught through an oppressor lens. The triangular slave trade, white men held the power. What about Britain ending the slave trade? More than a quick mention, if at all? Mm, no.
What of the Arab slave trade that lasted 3 times as long as the triangular slave trade? Mm, no.
Okay, so GCSE history in Britain is often taught as migration through time, so the idea that Britain has always been a land of immigrants is embedded in our children’s heads. Most schools would prefer to concentrate learning about the tiny number of Black people who existed in Tudor England over a thorough analysis of England’s break from Rome.
— Not to mention weeks on King Mansa Musa of Mali because he was a Black Muslim. His bearing on British institutions, laws, and faith is nonexistent. And the fact that he is said to have been the richest man in history, thanks in part to his massive slave-owning society, is a detail somehow that teachers rarely ever teach.
But it isn’t just our schools. It’s our general culture too. Take your kids to a museum or an art gallery in any Western country, and you’ll find the same narrative.
As an example, when learning about aviation in London’s Science Museum and the extraordinary feat that is man making massive machines move in the sky, a write-up on the wall explains that women and Black people were historically barred from aviation schools and the military. Similarly, James Watt, the man who invented the steam engine and is considered the founder of the Industrial Revolution, has a write-up on the wall explaining that his early career involved slave trafficking, with a bonus analysis of the whole of Britain’s complicity in the slave trade.
They flatten the entire human story and all of its complexities into the narrative of oppressor and oppressed, leaving young people unable to see the world in any other terms.”
We have to end the mass indoctrination
@SenatorCantwell Just pass the save act.
We have seen sketchy elections since Gregoire kept finding mail in ballots in her race against Rossi.
I watched over 100 college kids, many from out of state get provisional ballets when Obama was elected. Votor ID is supported by a vast majority.

Stop the Washington Income Tax.
Vote YES on i-645. Voting begins on October 16th this year and ends November 3rd. Mark your calendar NOW.
Retweet if you want to stop the WA income tax.
🚨 WASHINGTON’S SOCIALIST NIGHTMARE EXPLODING!
Voters are about to REPEAL the insane “Millionaires Tax” — and the rats are already fleeing the sinking ship!
💰 55% of WA business leaders say they’re eyeing the exits. Governor Bob Ferguson rammed through a brutal 9.9% tax on income over $1M… and now the wealthy are bolting to Texas, Florida, Nevada — states with NO income tax and thriving budgets!
Bezos bailed in 2023. Zillow’s co-founder and ex-Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz followed. Even Starbucks is expanding in Tennessee, not Seattle!
This is what “eat the rich” gets you: empty mansions, lost jobs, and a collapsing tax base. Supporters whine about “funding services” while businesses and talent vanish.
ENOUGH! Washington voters have a chance in November to REJECT this failed leftist experiment.
High taxes = economic suicide. Freedom and low taxes = prosperity.
RT if you want EVERY state to learn this lesson! 🔥🇺🇸 #TaxRepeal #WashingtonExodus #MAGA #DrainTheSwamp #Trump2028

Grassroots vs. Big Donors —
Lily Tang Williams raised $517K from small donors ($200 and under) — a true grassroots surge.
Maggie Goodlander pulled in $1.88M from $2,000+ donors, showing deep establishment backing.
Do you honestly believe that Maggie Goodlander cares about the people of New Hampshire?

Brazilian FIFA referee Rafeal Claus - who gave the US a ridiclous red card today - was accused of match fixing by "irregular red cards" in Brazil's Series A in 2023.
Claus had to testify in the investigation, but evaded charges bc of no direct evidence. FIFA stays corrupt AF.
