Uhm. The Dead Sea Scrolls don't contain any New Testament books, so how would they verify that?

You've never heard of perspective? We see different perspectives within the 4 Gospel accounts. This adds to their authenticity! If the Church were trying to make things look credible, they would've removed anything that could be construed as an error or contradiction. They didn't. They wanted to make sure you and I received what they did. The Dead Sea Scrolls verify they succeeded.
I asked God to see him and hear an audible voice and he gave me a diagram instead :/ ... I guess you should really ask God yourself..
[/FONT]Yup I get context, rather well; my statement stands, and powerfully so![FONT='Calibri','sans-serif']

Nope not at all; not in the least. Not gonna happen either. Don't know what to make of the Prophecy implying all will see Him at the same time though. Will there be any literal aspect of that, or is it all metaphor? I dunno. I can certainly see the applications of Spiritual Truth, but won't know about the literal until and unless it actually happens. Til then I'll try not to close my mind in ways that falsely limit G-d.
Are you suggesting that an all powerful God is not powerful enough to address everyone in an audible voice so they can understand him?
Sending Jesus didnt address the entire world; it only addressed a tiny fraction of a small spot of the world.

...the shroud
No, you aren't missing anything, as it could very well be anyone. But, I am rather amazed that the image is thought to have been made by light, similar to a copy machine, and they had no such technolgy in that day and age. I also saw the presentation on the History Channel, and there is a lot more to it. But the shroud is still a big controversy, and my faith doesn't rely on it. It's only something to ponder. By the way, the diagram that God showed me, was a diagram that showed me how we connect to God. You can ask him questions in this way, and you would probably get some answers.Well you got a lot more than I did; I spent 7 years praying everyday that God would reveal himself to me, save me, etc. and I got nothing, nada, zero, ziltch! Maybe you should take your diagram and be happy with it.
Oh yeah and about the Shroud of Turin; when you consider the hundreds of people the Romans crucified in this fashion during that time, how do they make the leap that this is the actual shroud of the Jesus described in the Bible? How do they know it isnt from one of the many others who were killed this way? Am I missing something here?

I'm not sure about that, was the shroud placed over the other piece? I don't remember everything that was said in the documentary.What's the answer to those that say it's all bogus because the scripture indicates that there was a separate piece of cloth for the head:
John 20:6: Then cometh Simon Peter following him, and went into the sepulchre, and seeth the linen clothes lie,
:7: And the napkin, that was about his head, not lying with the linen clothes, but wrapped together in a place by itself.

maybe you will go to the sun ken , maybe God reserves the sun for eternity for people that want him to talk from the sky in a loud voice , lolSo are you saying everybody gets to go to outter space and nobody has to go to the sun?
Peace

I'm not sure if this will work for everyone, but I'm thinking it will... it's at least worth a try.What's the gist of your diagram? He has shown me much using the Cross as a diagram
I am suggesting that He gave us all dominion, and we can do with it what we will. Which so often results in our not wishing to know the Truth. (Knowing Truth = understanding Him)
Nope. G-d has always worked by putting together small pieces, from here and there. You ave lots of small pieces to put together, but you still arrive at the conclusion of G-d addressing the whole world via the Gospel of Jesus Christ
usually how God shows people His truth is through the bible, it becomes real, for the Holy Spirit is working with you,
when this happens you can not read enough of it,...yes, we always have unanswered questions, we will pray at times 'Lord help me in my unbelief', but we know we can't leave, for God has shown us enough of Him, and His grace overwhelms us.
God has a reason He is not shouting from the sky for you Ken...maybe God wants you to humble yourself before Him, and have faith, and in Gods timing He will show Himself.
Ken, not preaching,...sorry you see it that way, you are a very rude person. Many have tried to help you, as the bible says, 'I dust my feet, and I will stop casting pearl at swine.
Well, I tried to give you an answer of why I thought God would not do what you are thinking... but that is only my opinion,... and so I told you to ask God for your answer. I posted a diagram about how you can speak to God and ask questions. I hope you try, because I think you will get some type of an answer.I am not asking for help! I am simply asking a question. A question appearantly nobody wants to answer.
