To what extent is divine intervention perceptible? Christanon 10/29/18 (Mon) 14:33:12 5a8f99 No.720915

>It's another one of these threads

I ask because (aside from not seeing a QTTDTOT) I've recently been looking into the faith and regularly found opposition to Christianity as a whole when inquiring about it (perhaps some of it warranted, at least pertaining to specific churches) but others leaving me thinking as well.

Typically this comes from reductive materialists, which, while I understand how some people consider it to be a beautiful thing, is just so terribly depressing to me.

But the gist of the inquiry here is: I know people shouldn't test God, and that for whatever reason, it's not (apparently) in God's plan to have Christ return for check-ins to make Christianity a common knowledge and not a faith, but to what extent does God intervene, and why do so to a point that makes it just as plausible (to some) that you don't exist at all? Wouldn't more people convert if it were not left to fallible humans to try to keep the faith alive on their lonesome?

God DOES show up signs to some people. He showed a miracle to me for my conversion, for example. As for in the bible, there IS the "Road of Damascus" moment which everyone here should know about.

While I would comment on why there are individual miracles instead of a big global one, I don't want to throw around my own interpretation of scripture. Just be assured that everything is in place for people and nobody is being thrown into hell because they didn't have proof.

Also, posting a inb4 because I just know certain person will come here and post heresy:

Literally every waking second.

Everything around you is a miracle made by God.

This. The biggest lie ever told is that everything could possibly exist of its own accord. Fedoras gained legitimacy.

But this is a fact, things do just pop into existence from nowhere, constantly, and pop back out. They’re one of the foundations of quantum physics

Saying this is stupid because what they are talking about is random fluctuations in a quantum vacuum or quantum field but the fact that there is such a thing as a "quantum field" or "quantum vacuum" or any laws of physics governing these still lies unexplained; When they speak of something coming from nothing they are not truly talking about a real, philosophical NOTHING but something emerging from pre-existing laws which means even if there is no proximal cause, there is still an absolute cause, if you know what I mean
