John UK wrote:
The testimony of God is: "I was found of them that sought me not."
This tells us that God can be found. But that he is found by those who are not looking for him.
This is a mystery to Presbies.
God can be found???
Without any divine help God - Can be found unto salvation - is the teaching of John UK.1Cor 2:14 But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.
According to Jesus even HE cannot be found without God's help.
44 No man can come to me, except the Father which hath sent me draw him: and I will raise him up at the last day. John 6.
Jesus disagreeing with John UK - Who would think it???
So:-
Rom 10:20 But Esaias is very bold, and saith, I was found of them that sought me not; I was made manifest unto them that asked not after me.
How can God be found by those who cannot seek HIM?
Well the Christian only knows of one way to find God that is by faith the gift of God and by the work of the Holy Spirit. Thus it is the Born Again Christian who can "find" God - But by and only with divine help.
Even though they were not looking for GOD beforehand. Before calling and regeneration.
