How God's Absence Proves His Existence || A Story 

I'm looking forward to the day when God's absence will be a memory, and his presence will be our eternity.

"Only if God was once close, could he ever feel far." That got me.

Good video. Thank you, I was needing this.

David. You have been a great source of inspiration to me. I pray you ascend greater heights in the knowledge of Christ our lord

Thanks man, it's been tough with my family recently, and I really needed to hear this.

He is never distant because in Him we live and move and have our being. As we adjust our thinking to truth, feelings and behavior will follow.

Pure Spirit Lead Creativity. I Absolutely Love It. Keep up the Great Work David

Thank you.

Really good David ur so amazing u make me want to dive into god so much more. Because of u and my pastor I have found god and been relived from my sins by god. THANK YOU!!

Great explanation!

That's just so silly first you make someone believe there is a god then make him believe he was close and now he is far . Then that could be just said for anything. The girl had never experienced god

THAT IS AMAZING!

God feels far because he was never close! im sure most have never felt God was with them..i think it would be even more devastating if He was close and then decided to leave. God simply feels far because we dont know when he is close..surely it would be unmistakable to feel God's presence! seems to me God was only said to be present in antiquity for some reason...after Jesus returned to heaven he was gone..and now we all await his return. Hence the reason faith is so important..although its hard to keep the faith because he has kept away for 2021 yrs. makes a person feel unworthy because there is no communication with God. yet nobody can say and prove that God is with them! all a matter of belief again. creation is the reason i believe there even is a God...Jesus gives us afterlife...i believe the Holy spirit should be with us in earthly life but i cant say i know he is in my earthly life i think i would know. its all very confusing to me! i must admit my faith is put to the test everyday! only reason i have faith at all is because i hope that maybe tomorrow i will know the presence of God in my life! up to date its still a maybe tomorrow for me!

I mean "feelings" are not prove of god's existence you merely imagined up something and then made yourself believe it was real and created a slight hallucination. you do not feel this god using your senses which can only mean that you mae it up yourself. it's like an imaginary friend

The mental gymnastics in this is unbelievable 💀

Only when we have had something that it can feel absent. Gods absence is proof of the existence of God.

That was pretty good.

By this logic taking a phantom step at the top of a staircase proves it used to be one step taller.

Sooo... this girl doesn't actually believe in God (own a big pink hummer) in the first place. That's the moral of the story. She wants there to be a god, but she doesn't see one. You could feel this same absence for a hypothetical video game, or a relationship that will never exist for you, or a physique you'll never achieve: the thing itself doesn't have to exist for you to want it.

The problem is that every believer around her is constantly telling her that she does indeed own a pink Hummer. But she's never seen the pink Hummer. She's never driven it herself, she's never sat in it or run her hands over its shiny, pink exterior. Others are constantly telling her how incredible her pink Hummer is, and how their own pink Hummers have changed their lives. Every believer in this girl's life has affirmed the existence of her pink Hummer. But, the girl made the astute observation that she has never actually seen her pink Hummer. In fact, she realized that she's never seen, touched or driven anyone's pink Hummer. The pink Hummer that all of her friends affirm and praise suddenly seems very absent indeed. Why? Because everyone she knows constantly talks about the pink Hummer, but it is never around. The Hummer is absent, because it does not exist. She never owned a pink Hummer. Yet, her entire life, she was told she owned a pink Hummer. The problem is not the actual existence of the Hummer. It is the disparity between her expectation of reality and the truth of reality. If God were like her gem, then there would be no doubt of his presence and no disparity in her expectations. But God is not like her gem. In this case, God is the pink Hummer. God is constantly praised and affirmed by those that admire Him, but he is absent. Why? Because something that does not exist cannot be present outside of the minds of believers.

ARE U COMING BACK TO WINTERFEST THIS YEAR

This is by far the best message about the absent God I ever heard. Thank you.

I have the book and I'm currently reading it. I was there.

Hmmmm 😭🙌🏾

Wow wise words brother

Now I feel absence of big pink hammer. Does it mean the big pink hammer was close?

What kind of fucked up mental gymnastics are these

This might be a logical fallacy.

I know who the mother God is but she doesn't say anything to any of you because she sees no point in you knowing her because shes showed people who she was proved it dod magic and people become uncomfortable about it because youv never seen it before and you equally after you know dont care or respect what that means she is to you which is Authority over you so she distanced herself from you and shell continue to do so until the rapture when God comes for his Bride not bride. And me and God play with time btw thats how my name got into the old testament for me 6 years ago in my timeline.😊

What if I was told since early childhood that I owned a pink Hummer? It's invisible, undetectable and you will see it after you die.

Why do you always use male pronouns to describe God? Do you think God is a male? Do you not think God either contains both genders, all genders, or transcends gender? Do you think you might be missing a part of the fullness of God by the way you only use "He"? Have you explored this?

There's no evidence.
