FAITH is the evidence of God!

[Rev. M. Rodimer]

Almost every day, some atheist shows up here and says, "Prove to me that God exists, then I'll believe in Him."

Because atheists are generally slow-witted, they do not realize that having proof of something makes it impossible to believe in something.

Do you believe that ice is cold? No. You know ice is cold. Do you believe that the glass on your desk, from which you just sipped, is full of water? No. You know that it is full of water. When you know, you can no longer believe.

God does not demand that we "know" anything other than His Law. He does, however, demand that we believe. Anyone who refuses to believe? Damned to unending torment being burned alive in God's Lake of Fire.

John 3:18
18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.

But what exactly is faith?

The Bible tells us that faith IS the evidence!

Hebrews 11:1
Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.

You don't need an empirical study to "prove" God exists. If you had one, you'd not be able to have faith anyway.

No, your faith, and mine, is the evidence God gives us for His existence. It's better than any peer-reviewed research paper, let me tell you!

And I thank Him for it every day.

Absolutely Reverend.

I think that God wouldn't let me believe in Him if He didn't exist.

This is a great lesson, Reverend.

Proof? You want proof. Jesus gave all the proof and He even changed those who doubted by letting Thomas put his finger in Jesus' wrist holes and guts.

John 20:29 Jesus saith unto him, Thomas, because thou hast seen me, thou hast believed: blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have believed.

If He can do that for someone doubting Him right in front of His face, you should believe too.

I know. Atheists are such assholes. We Christians say "We Believe" and we have this, and this and this to prove our statements; all within the last 6 thousand years.

The atheists say there is no God and we have these books that say 6 billion years ago "this happened" with absolutely no proof whatsoever. Something about a big bang, a giant freezeover and absolutely huge monsters that just disappeared despite the atheist's claim that they don't know how.

Sheesh.

I gotta go get drunk. I feel an anxiety attack coming on.

Indeed! The LORD is sovereign, and NOTHING happens without His consent!

Reverend, another fantastic and insightful exegesis.

You say we have no proof of those events?
How do you have proof that those people wrote those lines, huh?

Who wrote what lines now?

If they weren't written they wouldn't exist. Has syphilis destroyed your brain?

I wrote it, so it must be true, right?
Christian logic, makes no sense.

Note, I don't have syphilis.

You, gentleman, are a scholar.

Makes perfect sense. I am ergo He Is.

Now it is true.

It should be noted that this is not a debate forum. This forum exists so that True Christians can get together to better praise God and live by God's laws as they are written in the KVJ Bible. Sometimes people come to this Forum to be saved and we True Christians do our best to guide them to salvation. This forum does not exist for you to spout your God hating nonsense. What you write is of no consequence. Since you are unsaved trash you can only tell the truth by accident.

Friend, it's not that complicated. The Holy Bible was written down, and the authors of each book is known, most of them identified themselves in the very text. If self-disclosure is not proof, I don't know what is.

Now make it appear in a 2,000-2,500 year old scroll, and maybe you'll have something.

What's that? You can't?

You didn't prove anything. You just basically stated that God was real and to believe it.

Read it again. I explained that faith is the evidence, and that "empirical proof" would invalidate and make impossible "belief".

Your reading comprehension is something awful, you know that?
