Sounds good to me, Terry. Refresh my memory: Where on the spectrum do you stand, theologically?
BTW, Terry, I am sure that you are aware that there are certain things which are true by virtue of self-evidence, agreed?
For example, you do not have to prove to me that fresh air is good for me. By personal experience, I soon learn that I--Can any creature?--cannot survive, physically, without it. Can anyone?
Also, it is my sincere opinion that G?D is self-evident.
As St. John put it: G?D is Spirit. Note that John did not write that G?D is "A spirit".
It seems to me that John meant to speak of G?D is as real as the very air we breathe, physically, mentally and spiritually. It is not surprising, then that John also wrote that G?D is love--the basic spiritually-based human emotion.
I
challenge atheists to prove and demonstrate to us, here, that it is possible for any creature to survive, physically, without breath. And what truly human being can happily survive, mentally, spiritually, without the love of others?
