  1. What is God like? Second chapter in the book (Tozer – Knowledge of the Holy) Tozer states: When we try to imagine what God is like we must of necessity use that-which-is-not God as the raw material for our minds to work on; hence whatever we visualize God to be, He is not, for we have constructed our image out of that which He has made and what He has made is not God. If we insist upon trying to imagine Him, we end with an idol, made not with hands but with thoughts; and an idol of the mind is as offensive to God as an idol of the hand. Left to ourselves we tend immediately to reduce God to manageable terms. We want to get Him where we can use Him, or at least know where He is when we need Him. We want a God we can in some measure control. We need the feeling of security that comes from knowing what God is like, and what He is like is of course a composite of all the religious pictures we have seen, all the best people we have known or heard about, and all the sublime ideas we have entertained. Tower states in his final conclusion: What is God like?” If by that question we mean “What is God like in Himself?” there is no answer. If we mean “What has God disclosed about Himself that the reverent reason can comprehend?” there is, I believe, an answer both full and satisfying. For while the name of God is secret and His essential nature incomprehensible, He in condescending love has by revelation declared certain things to be true of Himself. These we call His attributes. Sovereign Father, heavenly King, Thee we now presume to sing; Glad thine attributes confess, Glorious all, and numberless. Charles Wesley So this question Tozer presents is What is God like? What do you see, can you describe God or can you only describes attributes? Being reminded that the attributes are a quality or feature regarded as a characteristic or inherent part of someone or something. Let's research God's word! I have written a very limited look into God! God is light: (1John 1:5 )This is the message we have heard from him and declare to you: God is light; in him there is no darkness at all God is spirit: (John 4:24) God is spirit, and his worshipers must worship in the Spirit and in truth. God is a consuming fire:(Deuteronomy 4:24 ) For the LORD your God is a consuming fire, a jealous God. God is a judge:(Psalms 50:6) And the heavens proclaim his righteousness, for God himself is judge. Selah Attributes of God: God is love:(1 John 4:16 ) And so we know and rely on the love God has for us. God is love. Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in him God is our help:(Psalms 54:4) Surely God is my help; the Lord is the one who sustains me. God is righteous:(Psalms 116:5) The LORD is gracious and righteous; our God is full of compassion God is holy:(Isaiah 43:15)"I am the LORD, your Holy One, The Creator of Israel, your King. God is faithful: (1 Corinthians 10:13) No temptation has overtaken you except what is common to mankind. And God is faithful.... What God is not: A Human man:(Numbers 23:19 ) God is not a man, that he should lie, nor a son of man, that he should change his mind. Does he speak and then not act? Does he promise and not fulfill? So what do you say, What is God like? I say God is: “I am the Alpha and the Omega,” says the Lord God, “who is, and who was, and who is to come, the Almighty.”Revelation 1:8 My answer to What is God like is: he's like my breath, the very life of my being. He's always there but is not seen with physical eyes, however he is always felt, needed and working...for without him I am dead, the same as my breath. The breath I take is an absolute necessity, not an option. For me, this is what God is like to me. Thanks for reading and participating! May God bless you ?
  2. I came to the point yesterday where i Just wanted to and gave up my faith. I dont understand how some people are so happy with God and God makes me miserable. I cant "bear witness" to anything in the Word of God. I hate this so much cus, i try to seek the Word, i just cant "bear witness" to it. It just isnt working and ive been reading for years. I keep having thoughts about damnation that terrify me but I also have OCD. My one wish is that i can miraculualsly see, believe, and BEAR WITNESS to the word of God. But ive prayed for years and nothing. Its like should i just accept damnation?

  4. Part 2: reasons for endless immigration, Silent Majority, apathy This is a Constitutional Republic. Millions of citizens must take action in order to make it work. Citizens must become involved for any meaningful change to occur. Without citizen action, moneyed elites, corporations and military fanatics maintain a strangle-hold on the path and direction of this country. Again, the focus of this series: to stop mass legal and illegal immigration. If we fail to stop it, our children will inherit the consequences of an added 100 million immigrants within the next 38 years and a total added and unsustainable population of 138 million more people by 2050. That means we will grow from 315 million to 438 million if we fail to take action. Such numbers will prove unsustainable sociologically, culturally and environmentally. Such numbers will outstrip our water, energy, resources and quality of life. Let’s talk about lack of action in the Silent Majority The Vietnam War raged for 10 solid years because the “Silent Majority” aptly designated by President Richard Nixon—remained silent, did nothing and took no action. What stopped the insanity and absurdity of the Vietnam War? College students, knowing they would die in combat, protested in the streets with “Hell no, we won’t go!” They screamed at the top of their lungs, threw bricks through windows, burned draft cards in front of TV cameras, conducted sit-ins at Congressional offices, wrote letters to newspapers, argued with their parents, formed “Vietnam Vets Against the War” and wrote books exposing the killing, slaughter and horrific deaths at over 2 million people—that our U.S. government perpetrated on the Vietnamese people. Johnson based the entire war on the fraudulent “Gulf of Tonkin” incident. While it continued, 58,300 Americans died and 350,000 Americans suffered horrific injuries for nothing but the Military Industrial Complex, munitions makers and corporations like Halliburton. Another 200,000 combat troops that left Vietnam in one piece, later committed suicide while millions suffered from broken marriages, drugs and drunken lives on the streets. We’re still paying for the lies of General Westmorland, Lyndon Baines Johnson, Richard Nixon and our shiftless Congress. War scrambles a man’s mind for life. Our national debt rose to near $3 trillion by the end of the war in Vietnam. What stopped the Vietnam War? College students and then parents took action from the local arena to the national stage. Why? A lot of young men didn’t want to die for nothing in a senseless war. Finally, the famed TV anchor Walter Cronkite said, “Vietnam is an unwinnable war.” At the point, President Johnson said, “Cronkite’s remarks just lost the American peoples’ support for the war.” Race ahead to 2002 when President George W. Bush concocted the Iraq War. He forged reality with his lies about Weapons of Mass Destruction. Since then, he caused the deaths of 4,200 troops and 40,000 wounded, but killed off 100,000 to perhaps 200,000 men, women and children in Iraq. He destroyed a functioning society. President Barack Obama continues the killing of our troops and theirs in Afghanistan for the past 11 years. Why? Because we engage an all-volunteer Army that doesn’t expose the lies or the corruption of those two wars. No one speaks up, no one protests. Unbelievably senseless deaths continue. What two things stand in common as to those three wars? (We could add Korea) The 21st century “Silent American Majority” continues like a flock sheep. We watch our country spiral into $16 trillion debt, endless news of deaths in Afghanistan and a parade of lies about our “progress” in Afghanistan while our kids keep getting shot to death by the same people they train. Meanwhile, Iraq suffers Civil War and total disintegration of their society. Most Americans don’t care about the Afghanistan War and didn’t lift a finger to oppose the Iraq War. They didn’t and don’t involve them. Obviously, the elites, presidents and Congress realize that most Americans won’t get involved, so our leaders continue their folly. Innocent kids on both sides die endlessly while those wars accomplish absolutely nothing. The dirty realities of life rarely affect the rich, powerful and protected. Now let’s look at endless legal and illegal immigration. Our own corporations invest in it. Our U.S. Chamber of Commerce supports it at all costs. Hormel, McDonald’s, Marriott, Tyson Chicken, construction companies and thousands of businesses utilize this endless 21st century slave labor to save money, undercut and not pay their taxes and worse. They let the American taxpayer subsidize this labor army at $346 billion annually in taxes to pay for illegals across 15 federal agencies. (Source: Edwin Rubenstein, “Illegal immigration costs annually” www.TheSocialContract.com) Like the people who support wars, we have another cadre of corporations that make billions of dollars off American citizens’ apathy and inaction. Like those wars, high powered and very invested interests buy off U.S. Senators and Congressmen to make sure legal and illegal migration is not stopped. Anchor babies, those babies birthed at 350,000 annually by illegal alien mothers who cross our borders illegally, continue because Congress does nothing to stop their “birthright citizenship.” Congress maintains 50,000 “lottery visas” annually given to anyone who signs up to come to America. Those visas are usually given to the most illiterate, unskilled and simply “lucky” persons around the world trying to flee their own failed countries. Finally, the Congress keeps 1.2 to 1.5 million legal immigrants pouring into this country because Americans do not know or care about the consequences. This flood will result in another 100 million third world immigrants imported into this country within 38 years. Former U.S. Congressman Tom Tancredo said, “We are importing the poverty of the world into the United States. It will reach a point of intractability.” In other words, we will become a poverty stricken country with no solutions as to illiteracy, poverty and welfare state. My question: will the “Silent Majority” take action to stop this “Immigration War” on the people of the United States? In part 3, I am going to give you the power to form an armada of citizens to stop our own government from destroying our own country. Because if you don’t, parts 4 and 5 paint a very ugly future for your children. Source.
