When you choose to believe, you'll know.

This seems to be saying that if you find yourself believing in God, but accept a possibility you may be wrong - you dont really believe. Is that what you mean?

Also, do you think it is possible to choose to believe something? If I consider a question which I dont know the answer to - there is no way I can "make" myself believe an answer is one way or the other. I can look into it, mull it over, eventually I discover I believe something. Are you able to choose to believe on any topic? Or is it only God that you make that choice with?

I want to state that Txag has repeatedly said people must "choose to believe."

As if belief is something you merely choose. I cannot choose to believe something without a compelling reason. I cannot suddenly decide to believe that I'm an elephant living alone on Mars.

I have expressed exasperation with Txag's 'logic' before because he repeatedly says things like suggesting people "decide to believe something." Like, "just accept Jesus in your heart and watch what happens."
