It's as if the what you think you are seeing isn't even really there. But you are looking right at it!

Why is it so hard to see?

Why does it look as if it isn't even there, but while you are looking at it, it isn't even appearing?

It's not a problem I've ever been conscious of, actually.

For a start, Jesus isn't an it, he's a person! He is a he! He was a person when he was alive on earth, and he is a person now.

I am fortunate, because I am aware of him as if bodily, and also always of him intangibly and spiritually, but always as a person, and when I pray I am always conscious of him there. Always. Never not. It is the same whether my prayers are addressed specifically to the Father or to the Holy Spirit, or even just to God. It makes no difference.

It might be because my faith is rock solid, so I suppose maybe you could say it's because I am so confident that prayers are heard that it never occurs to me to doubt. It never ever has occurred to me to do so.

Skally, I don't think people are ignoring the question - it sounds interesting - but I am having a hard time understanding it. Could you frame it in a more simple way?

I'm glad that someone was able to understand that, how about clearing it up for the rest of Us?

Your thread title is:
Why is transparency so hard to see through Christ?

What does that mean?

Lol I'm not sure what the question is either.

I broke it up as possibly asking:

Why is transparency, so hard to see, through Christ?

But i still am not sure what it is asking

Paul, just look through and behind the words. If that doesn't work, just add to your thinking my post too.

I don't know why everyone here can't understand it. I can understand sKally perfectly.

Look past the words to what is being said.

Same as we do to everyone! No problem!

Pup, same applies to you! :D

Awwww, its clear NOW!!!!

But Skally IT IS THERE ...Really!!!

It's a...HE....and he's only hard to see when you do not look upon Him with Faith.

And HE is only hard to see if you are not willing to see " the TRUTH. Because that is what and who HE is!


Figured it out! thanks! /:) O-
