Re: The omnipotent God.

If you look at the world, surely it is to vast to be made by accident by a big band some way back in time?
surely there has to be something else?
The proof is all around you, you just have to open your eyes to it.

Re: The omnipotent God.

What is the right thing? In the eyes of God the right thing is to accept Jesus as my savior and I in turn am saved from eternal damnation. I don't cheat, lie, or steal and yet, upon my deathbed, without anygood persuasion, I will not accept Jesus as my savior, because I don't believe he is my savior. And therefore will suffer eternally.

You have to remember that The Bible teaches us that humans are so utterly evil that we deserve damnation for the mere act of existing. Even those virtues you list like any other human being you do out of pure selfishness. Only Jesus is the source of true virtue so you have to turn to Him to be made worthy of life eternal friend.

Re: The omnipotent God.

You cannot say God is a primary source just because you say it or even the bible says it. And I know that you can't prove to me that he is a primary source. But what I am asking is why does He give so little evidence to His existence.

Do they not have rainbows in chinaland, LingLing? Or butterflies? Who do you think made those?

Because Jesus loves you so much He wants you to love Him back without any compulsion. That's why He hides Himself from you and punishes you with eternal damnation if you don't the the right thing.

Wrong again, pal. God is the ultimate "primary source." You can't get any more "primary" than that!

Only primary sources are accountable. There is no way of proving the bible as being a primary source, but there are primary sources that can prove that Ian Fleming existed and wrote the James Bond books.

Re: The omnipotent God.

My question:
Why is it that if God is omnipotent, he allowed me and many others to grow up in a society were there is such little evidence in believing God. Of course you can say that I need to read the bible and there's my proof because that was written by the hand of God. But from my personal view, I see no logic in believing that a book was written by God just because it says that the book was written by God. Someone else could have written that the God wrote the book.

I hope you understand my view point. I have a hard to clarifying my points across. Again I mean no harm, I just want an answer.

Indeed, you are wandering lost in the world. It is good that you came here.

You have perhaps heard of Ian Fleming, who wrote the James Bond books? Now, answer me this, how do we know that Ian Fleming, who is now dead, either existed or wrote anything?

Is there any logic in believing that Ian Fleming wrote James Bond books? After all, there are people who said they knew him and said that he wrote the books.

Likewise, there are people in the Bible who spoke with God and who wrote down what He said. There are those who knew those who knew Christ and wrote down what He said and did.

So what sort of proof do you want? What is it that would make you say, “Yes, God exists.”

Amen

I'm not here to be hated, because I don't hate anyone of you. I just need help with a question.

I grew up with zero religious upbringing and because of this, I have logical ways of thinking about the word through scientific approaches. And I believe that my way of thinking is more correct than yours, just like you believe in your way of thinking that Jesus is your savior. But I'm digressing.
