Author Topic:   Man's Search for God

Admin Jar,
Since my proposed topic Man's Search for God is still left here undisturbed, can I re-proposed it and present as a new topic? Besides, I am here not to preach but only to offer a proposition.
Suppose we can prove (as already proven), that intellect resides in the brain; and, or that man is composed of body, mind and spirit (or soul), can we also establish a point where we can start our search for God? Although God is a spirit and the Bible had presented verses where God resides, is there a way to know of His dwelling in the material point of view?
Our traditional Christian religion had established a system of belief that is limited to the content of the Bible. But in the history of other civilizations they designated certain places where they can pray to their god(s) and call these "sacred places." Can we also designate a place on Earth, aside from the "unknown and unseen heaven" as the "key-point" in our search for God? If not, we may (have been) hooked to a belief that is purely on imagination without realizing that God had already established His Kingdom on Earth?
If there is a place or a "key-point" where is it? If there is none? How can we start our serach for God then?

Maybe with much modification.
You cannot cut and paste long sermons from your site, or any other site.
You can use this as a starting point for a new discussion, but even this proposed topic is covering several different subjects.
man is composed of body, mind and spirit (or soul)
might be a topic. You would have to decide if you would like to pursue that question in a scientific forum, or in Faith & Belief.
Although God is a spirit and the Bible had presented verses where God resides, is there a way to know of His dwelling in the material point of view?
seems to be yet another, unrelated subject.
Our traditional Christian religion had established a system of belief that is limited to the content of the Bible.
Again, here is a whole different topic cloaked in an assertion.
Frankly, so far I can't even guess what the rest of your post is talking about.
Look at your message. See if you can edit it so that you are looking at one question. If you can edit it so that we have some narrow subject to discuss, then I will happily consider it for promotion.
