Kal, seriously, dude
You're attaching human reasoning to an entity that is so far removed from our reality we can't attempt to fathom Him.
Kinda like an ant trying to guess why that huge thing (we call a shoe) came from the sky and killed 18 of his cousins.
Maybe, but if you can't understand something, why worship it then? If Christians' God can pass scrutiny and one offers me logical and rational evidence, I'll think about joining up.
I don't understand women completely. No man does, at least none that i know. Does that mean that as a man I shouldn't try to understand women? or at least A woman? That I shouldn't care for her or love her? Just because I don't understand her?
Or does that mean we won't learn about them at all by trying to get to know them? That we will always be ignorant and unable to explain who they are and how they act?
I believe the Bible. That means I believe Christ when He stated: "And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent." (John 17:3)
This means that in order to have Eternal Life, we will need to know God. That means we have to personally interact with Him. We have to learn from Him. Serve Him, by serving our fellow man.
You don't see how it's possible to know, but the scriptures tell us how we can know for ourselves:
"17 If any man will do his will, he shall know of the doctrine, whether it be of God, or whether I speak of myself. " (John 7:17).
Look at the example of Peter the Apostle. How did He learn that Jesus was the Christ?
13 ¶ When Jesus came into the coasts of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, saying, Whom do men say that I the Son of man am?
14 And they said, Some say that thou art John the Baptist: some, Elias; and others, Jeremias, or one of the prophets.
15 He saith unto them, But whom say ye that I am?
16 And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God.
17 And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Bar-jona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven. (Matthew 16:13-17)
We can only know God when He reveals Himself to us. And how do we know? We do His will and if it is His will, He will show us.
The Lord's commands to ask and recieve, seek and find, are not just idle promises. They are serious. Anyone can experiment on the Word and learn for themselves whether it's true. But the prerequisites are sincerety and humility. You actually have to have a desire to know whether God is real or not. You have to have a desire to act on what knowledge you recieve and live it.
I didn't always know God existed. It's only by His grace that I do. It took an exercise of Faith. I had to think things out, study them. I had to pray with faith that if there was a God, that He would reveal Himself to me at some point. That I could find the knowledge for myself.
Despite that, I would still be in ignorance if God hadn't hit me over the head with a spiritual 4 by 4. And it showed me that He was always there, I just didn't recognize and acknowledge the times He spoke to me before then. It's very humbling to feel the Spirit so overwhelmingly. To know that God is there, to feel His love and glory suround you and know that He actually has power. It's something I will never forget, as long as i dont get amnesia or lose my mind or something along the lines.
I have no doubt that God is real. He has taught me so much, and yet, I know I am still completely ignorant of so many things. I feel like I am still learning the basics of Faith and Repentence. Hopefully someday He will have some graduate courses for me.
My point is, you can know God is real for yourself. Seek Him out sincerely. Pray. Even if you don't know if there is a God that can hear your prayers, exercise faith that if there is a God that He can hear your prayers and will answer them in His own time. Because you will not recieve a witness until after the trial of your faith.
Faith is like our muscles, we need to exercise it to grow. We have to be challenged and face that challenge with faith for us to gain greater faith. Faith proceeds knowledge, Knowledge proceeds virtue and so on. Grace to Grace we can grow.
My only lament is that so many of us get stuck on the first step of faith that we never realize there is alot more past it that we havent begun to learn.
