Re: Revelation
SECFORT24,
You said that you WHOLEHEARTEDLY "wish"/want.
If you are unhappy (poor in spirit) that the "wish"/desire is not being fulfilled and that the simple ability to believe something (faith) never really impressed you, then maybe a more heartful understanding of the truth about the creator would fulfill your desire (LOVE for God as our true heritage).
God is LOVE, not "faith" (we should have a "faith FOR faith", Romans 1:17). I have faith in the laws of physics, but I don't love them. Being Godly is not all about Jesus ONLY (are you going to love only Jesus and forget about the Father/creator?). We are not supposed to be God-fearing. Forget about everything you've ever heard or read (and always will hear), God will grant your wish more than you could imagine. Read my recent post in the "God without religion forum".
Jesus brought humanity the HOPE that we would be able to return to the creator (before Jesus was crucified, humanity was hopeless). In order to be truly Godly, we need to live by (abide by) faith, hope, and love, but the GREATEST of all three is LOVE...
1 Corinthians 13:13
"the greatest of these is LOVE" (God should be the fulfillment of a person's "wish").
When Paul said that he chose to know nothing but Christ AND Him crucified, he meant that all of the knowledge about what past cultures did in order to show devotion and all of the knowledge about prophecies, etc. did not interest him, he only really cared that the creator had finally sent the Messiah.

God grants the right "wish".
