Ask yourself this question,

Has my experience of God become a thing of dogma and head knowledge RATHER THAN A LIVING COMMUNION?

There is a big difference between merely talking or thinking about God, AND ACTUALLY EXPERIENCING GOD.

Not to be confused with Pudding Tongue

Imagination projects unreal images out of the mind and seeks to attach reality to them. Faith creates nothing; it simply reckons upon that which is already there.

Also ask yourself this question,

Is my perception of God gone "freestyle" and become based upon impressions, feelings and internal "experiences" and wrathless "warm fuzzies" rather than the objective and factual standard that GOD HIMSELF HAS CHOSEN TO REVEAL HIMSELF?

There is a big difference between merely feeling or experiencing spirits and freestyle spirituality, AND ACTUALLY EXPERIENCING GOD.

"You search the Scriptures, because you think that in them you have eternal life; and it is these that bear witness of Me; and you are unwilling to come to Me, that you may have life." (John 5:39,40).

"For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God" (Romans 8:14)

inside you the time moves and she don't fade
the ghost in you she don't fade

it is these that bear witness of Me.

For if one comes and preaches another Jesus whom we have not preached, or you receive a different spirit which you have not received, or a different gospel which you have not accepted, you bear this beautifully.

I believe God is at fault for creating . . . and I am at fault for messing with His creation . . .

Getting intensely involved with that thread is something I do not desire to be messing with, though I think you know me well enough POW, to know where I stand/sit from my first sentence above . . . etc.

Psa 5:4 For thou [art] not a God that hath pleasure in wickedness: neither shall evil dwell with thee.

Eze 18:23 Have I any pleasure at all that the wicked should die? saith the Lord GOD: [and] not that he should return from his ways, and live?

Phl 2:13 For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of [his] good pleasure.

Rev 4:11 Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created.

Pudding is more exciting Tongue

I'm not sure I understand where this thread has progressed, but to respond to the original question and the subsequent reply, can'tchya have warm fuzzies and still talk about metaphysically cool and intelectually satisfying viewpoints about God in the same life?
