Conviction. Proof of God

I know this is going to "fly in the face" of traditional theology but its the Truth.
Conviction is an emotion. A feeling. Yet, it is a very unique feeling/emotion.
When man became a living soul, man took upon himself (Adam) attributes from God. Many of those attributes remained even after Adam fell. Many of those are feelings/emotions. I know many reject this fact but it really is logically and rationally impossible to deny.
We feel because of God's breath in Adam.
Nowhere is that more true in the natural man than when it comes to "conviction".
Heb 4:12 For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.
Heb 4:13 Neither is there any creature that is not manifest in his sight: but all things are naked and opened unto the eyes of him with whom we have to do.
The "Word of God" touches that which God gave Adam from the beginning. It "cuts". It grieves man.
Act 7:51 Ye stiffnecked and uncircumcised in heart and ears, ye do always resist the Holy Ghost: as your fathers did, so do ye.
Act 7:52 Which of the prophets have not your fathers persecuted? and they have slain them which shewed before of the coming of the Just One; of whom ye have been now the betrayers and murderers:
Act 7:53 Who have received the law by the disposition of angels, and have not kept it.
Act 7:54 When they heard these things, they were cut to the heart, and they gnashed on him with their teeth.
In fact, once a person begins to believe, it even gets worse..........
