Evidence for God from Science

Can God be found?

Yes, by those who seek him

Proverbs 8:17
-Those that seek me early shall find me.

OR

No, not by those who seek him

Proverbs 1:28
-Then shall they call upon me but I will not answer; they shall seek me early but shall not find me.

Lamentations 3:8
-Also when I cry and shout, he shutteth out my prayer.

Lamentations 3:44
-Thou hast covered thyself with a cloud, that our prayer should not pass through.

Amos 8:12
-They shall run to and fro to seek the word of the LORD, and shall not find it.

I think Koukl's never read a Bible verse would apply to this situation. What are the contexts given for each situation?

Very Good Read. Thanks K

GOD can be found by those who seek HIM. When GOD does not respond to our search it isn't because HE isn't there. GOD is always teaching truth to us. Truth takes many forms. GOD gets our attention by not attending our requests also. When the answer is found.....whalla....GOD is found.

Isa 1:18 comes into play in many cases. This being one.

Hm is it that we find God or God finds us?? Aparently, we cannot find God unless He shows Himself to us. But then God found us. Thats what i heard...

Kurieuo,

Thanks for the link that is the single most important thing I have learned about Bible study. I want to thank you for pointing it out again here.

Yes, very good. It is always best to read everything around a specific verse, instead of just the verse itself. It provides more clarity and understanding of things that may not have been understood to begin with.
