Belief: Directive vs. Reflective

I think that my actions are reflective but that my belief is a directive.

Keep in mind that those of us who know God (or believe that we do) God is an objective "still small voice" that we see as external (and thus objective) wisdom whereas for the other folks, it appears as if we are subjectively rationalizing our responses and beliefs...thus Stile uses logic the only way he knows how. He cant relate to the idea of God talking to him since he has never perceived it the way that you might. Personally, I think that Stile is quite logical...the only thing that trips me out about him is that he prefers to do the things himself that believers would allow Jesus to do for them.He is quite a polite chap, however. I can fully understand why he thinks the way that he does, and dont see him as inferior to me or needy in any way.IF God exists and exists the way that you and I believe, Stile will be just fine.He would say that IF not, that too is ok, but it would have serious repercussions for the mental health of you and I.

Lets summarize this topic so far, shall we? Perhaps Mike is suggesting that there is a third option. Trust in the Lord (whom he believes is alive today) and allow God to influence your daily decisions and life. I suppose, however, that this would still be a reflective belief so perhaps there are only two options.
