But somehow you knew what a god was when you came across the god, that's amazing, no one could explain it to you but you knew what it was as soon as you felt it.
Do you think Muslims have the same feeling when they are in the same situation? is their god real for them just as it was real for you?
What makes an atheists sceptical is this, how did you know it was a god making you feel the way you did? did it happen in a church where you were expecting it to happen or did it happen somewhere when you weren't expecting it to happen? what I'm asking is, could you have been talked into feeling it was the holy spirit that made you feel that way or were you not even thinking about god when it happened?
You know that people were alive a thousand years ago and they believed in lots of gods who are not worshiped anymore don't you? where are those gods now?
or do you think those gods were all made up gods?
What I believe is, that from the time there have been men advanced enough to worship, they have reached out for the God they instinctively knew was there.
(instinct-built in?)
God had revealed Himself "from the beginning"...but as time passed and people spread out, what was once known as a universal truth faded into ancient myths...
But, as I said, there is an instinct...a longing for God. People reached out for Him, reinventing Him over and over again...
Eventually, God made His voice heard again. He called a man named Abraham, and promised him that through his son, all the families would be blessed.
And that is what the Bible is all about.
Now, while I know there are many, many, many "look-alike" gods, there really is only One Jesus Christ.
In Him, and in Him alone, do I see God reaching down to mankind. He taught us love, and peace, and charity...love your neighbor as yourself; love your enemies; give to those who ask you, good measure, pressed down and shaken together; and my favorite verse in the entire Bible, which, since you haven't read it, I will post here for you:
Joh 13:34 A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another.
Joh 13:35 By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another.
