How can a human "test" God? That's just absurd.

when people say "God didnt answer my prayer", that is not true, God did just because they didnt get it then and there, doesnt mean it wasnt answered. It could be "no" or just "wait", not "He didnt answer me". |

Im sorry, im talking Christianity. I should have cleared that up. Thats the only religion that I have any (VERY LITTLE) knowledge on.

likewise, we ( Muslims) believe that God does not resebmle man, yes we believe that he has a head, arms, legs, ect. but we dont depict him as an old man w/ a beard. One of his names in "The Uncomparable". We believe God's image is incomprehensible to the human earthly mind.( Meaning no matter how many times we may imagine how he looks like we'll never guess it right until he reveals his face) We also dont believe he has a son. We believe that to say God has a son is basically to say that He has succumbed to human wantings and desires. Im not trying to disrespect anyone's faith or belief's btw
O People of the Book! Let us rally to a common formula to be binding on both us and you: That we worship none but God; that we associate no partners with Him; that we erect not, from among ourselves, Lords and patrons other than God. (Surat Al 'Imran, 64)

I see the fact that many Humans actually believe if there be a deity, he actually resembles a Human or retains any Human characteristics, as one of Human's greatest arrogances, and greatest flaws. But that's just me...

thats stupid, besides, Gideon wasnt trying to test whether God existed or not, he was making sure that God wanted him to what he was God told him to do.

I agree. in Christianity, or rather, my view of it - God is a being that we ascribe anthropomorphical traits to, but I do not believe them to be in any sense "real", only a direction in which we have a common ground for relation in relationship. simply put, I believe that God is "at rest", in relation to any/everything else.

That is one of the worst things I have ever heard, if you do not test your faith, you don't really have faith at all. |

That is not the content or context of the reference. It's not about testing your faith.

They pick and choose which of god's almighty words they follow and obey in the bible, so why not?

God exists as the trinity, and he exists for many things, to be praised for what he has created, which is all things, for guidance, and for love and friendship
