Question, verbatim, from Peter:<\/strong>
\nWhy did god save my life when evil attack me and give me knowledge of his existence and his power over evil.And told me I was to be a Seer and give me strength and showed me the strength of love and how to used it as a shield for other poeple to stand behind for strength.I was a atheist a sinner.
\n
\nAnswer:<\/strong>
\nThe real question isn’t why<\/em> God chose you, it’s whether<\/em> God chose you. Only if this were establshed would the why be of any use.
\n
\nIn short, how do you know? How would you demonstrate to someone else that you had been chosen by God? For example, as a “Seer” are there things you know that others don’t, and could you prove yourself to be in possession of information you couldn’t have gotten any other way?
\n
\nWithout some kind of evidence that you really have been contacted by God, it’s not much use discussing His motives with someone who doesn’t think He exists.
