And, I agree wholeheartedly with your preference for "silence" (of God) over doubt (about God). The silence of God is an integral element of faith - from the silence of Jesus in John 9:8-34, to God's silence in Job 2:7-37:24. It's so clearly a part of our Judeo-Christian faith tradition, and so strangely a topic avoided or to be embarrassed about. <br /><br />Pax!Jack Danielshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02726516201872440792noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8637125351921336084.post-74382021335960478092016-08-31T14:20:18.868-07:002016-08-31T14:20:18.868-07:00Anthony,

I am not quite sure, from this brief post, how you would fully explain your understanding of God's silence. However, I agree with your thoughts as related to silence and doubt. Can they be related, of course. Must one lead to the other, no!<br />I am ordering 'Near Christianity" today!<br /><br />TimArchepoimenfollowerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10539020156250047772noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8637125351921336084.post-66253643192906751642016-08-31T14:13:28.418-07:002016-08-31T14:13:28.418-07:00Gene Stecher

Is the need for justice any less real because the second coming hasn't been seen. It also isn't less real if God hasn't been felt, and her life proved that. I've had a number of life- changing moments and couldn't say of any of them that I "felt" God. Is this something in the RC tradition of which I'm unaware. Would be interested if any one could provide insight into the experience of "feeling God."<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8637125351921336084.post-1937960247490478672016-08-31T11:38:09.022-07:002016-08-31T11:38:09.022-07:00For me, science and the Bible both warn that some ...For me, science and the Bible both warn that some people's experiences are simply "illusion" and "delusion." So it's hard for me not to assess other's experiences. Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
