A statement I find so impactful I had to put it here

This was an answer given in response to a non-believing friend:

"How else can i understand this faith without immersing myself into it?-is there another way?, and finally, most imptly, i have been continually exposed to supernatural manifestations the past months. BUT i have been careful to 'resist' and doubt its effect, even as i prayed to God to touch me (because Christians would say He wouldn't presumptuously invade your personal space). it's personal so there's no other ways to justify other than give you a (as far as possible) rational account of my experience which of course is open to criticism. but then i value empiricism and so do many philosophers right. so that's all i can say. i felt it. and it was like no other. But the Christian God is not a God of Science. He will not be treated as an experiment yielding results that can be tested for anomaly and whatnot."

Elder's Note: The first and last statement of this reply really demonstrates some fantastic insight into the working of God and about Christianity in general. Amen to them both. Our Christianity is experiential, and when we immerse ourselves in it, we begin to really KNOW if God is that real or not. Yet He is not an experiment. He is a BEING. "He will not be treated as an experiment". Powerful stuff.

And all this comes from a less than 1 yr old God-Fearer!
