Have you any idea where your God is then? could you give me a clue? if you can't then I'll go with the default, your mind.

Have you any idea where your God is then? could you give me a clue? if you can't then I'll go with the default, your mind.So, no, I am not your proof that it is all in my mind. Asking me to prove that it is not in my mind is not proof that it is. Please try again.
Where else in all honesty could your God be? if he wasn't in your mind you wouldn't even know about your God, would you?
do you only believe because no one can show that your God doesn't exist? do you also believe in all the other Gods for the same reason?
BTW. no one else shares your beliefs because they all have their own beliefs, and like you their own Gods.
There are also millions of Muslims who say they all believe the same thing, they are all as convinced as you are that they know their God.There are millions of people just like us too. Sorry but you should not make statements that you know nothing about.
Ya, just go with that..... the default "in my your mind" with no proof and no way to prove it. If your happy, go ahead.Have you any idea where your God is then? could you give me a clue? if you can't then I'll go with the default, your mind.
Why do you confuse things???There are also millions of Muslims who say they all believe the same thing, they are all as convinced as you are that they know their God.
Thank you so much for giving me the permission to believe what I want to believe. Guess what, I was going to anyway. Have a nice day.Please forget I even asked you any questions and believe whatever you want to believe, it's was never my intensions to upset you.
Do you see evidence of God in a children's hospital where children are dying of cancer? or a child dying every 15 seconds of hunger somewhere in the world? how about floods washing away homes and killing people and destroying lives in catastrophic earthquakes? or do you not think that's God doing that?I found Christ in the written word. I guess I should say I read the written word and on faith chose to believe it, got on my knees and accepted that I was a sinner and was given the gift of salvation. Now I see evidence of God in all things from a morning sunrise to a full moon on a calm lake with loons in the background or the smell of fresh cut hay on a humid summer morning. OR the innocent "I love you daddy from one of my kids,
I'm confused because you are not making any sense.Why do you confuse things???
I thought I might have been upsetting you asking so many questions.Thank you so much for giving me the permission to believe what I want to believe. Guess what, I was going to anyway. Have a nice day.
Who cares?How many religions claim to worship a God?
I have no choice but to go with what makes the most sense.Ya, just go with that..... the default "in my your mind" with no proof and no way to prove it. If your happy, go ahead.
I can read the words but they make no sense to me, I have dozens of feelings about a lot of things but I don't put them down to a supernatural entity.My God exists in three parts, God, the father is in heaven which is in another dimension than ours. Christ, His son is, at this time, sitting on a throne at God the father's right hand. The Holy Spirit or "the One who comforts" indwells me the same way demons take over humans when they are possessed. I asked for the Holy Spirit to come into my heart, and He is there. Not as forceful as demons are at all, nor in anyway have I lost my free will. I am in control but I get nudgings, suggestions in my mind that are impossible to be my own. I get guilt, when making poor choices, joy at other times. Peace in times of loss. Anyway, there is no way to describe it to you any more than someone can describe to you the feeling they get sky jumping when they jump out of the plane. Or what a mother feels for her new born child when described to a person who has never gave birth.
That's a cop out, doesn't your God want as many souls in heaven with him? why would he allow some to see and others not to see?It is impossible for you to understand because it is designed that way.
Are you saying that your God does not want the people he made to use the brains he gave us? you have twisted things around to say that no evidence is all the evidence you need to confirm to you that there is a God, if your God gave people evidence everyone would believe and that would be all too easy, I suppose your wife telling you she hates you really means she loves you.If everyone could see and understand it, believers and non believers then everyone would be a believer. God only wants the souls that truly trust His word and accept by faith, without "evidence" to be with Him in eternity. This ensures that He has given salvation to those that truly love Him and understand His sacrifice and accept His gift of salvation.
I don't think you would like it because it would mean you were not special if everyone could have it.He would love for all of mankind from Adam to the last soul born to be saved but only if they truly , unconditionally love and trust him.
That's Pascal's wager, just in case there's a God it's best you believe, no, if there really is a God he would know that you really don't believe and you are just hedging your bets.Kinda like if a guy came up to you and said "Hey, sign over your house, your cars, all your earthly possessions to me and get in my car. I will take you across town and give you a mansion, 5 million dollars and a villa in Spain. But you, first have to sign here...."
Who would take that chance? Not me. But if one of my good friends did, then came back and told me its the real deal, then everyone would take the deal. With God, you take the deal now or when you die, it's too late.
Thing is, with God's deal, you lose nothing, there is no risk, there is no gamble.
Yes let's, what have you got? the NT is the only place Jesus is ever mentioned, outside of that Jesus did not exist.Let's just talk about Christianity, and all the evidence for Jesus Christ.
Have you any idea where your God is then? could you give me a clue? if you can't then I'll go with the default, your mind.
That is the result of the sin in the world. God's plan was not for these events. These are the exact events that have come about due to Eve listening to Satan when he said she would know everything and be like God and ate of the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. Read the judgement that God gave to Adam and Eve as direct result of the fall.Do you see evidence of God in a children's hospital where children are dying of cancer? or a child dying every 15 seconds of hunger somewhere in the world? how about floods washing away homes and killing people and destroying lives in catastrophic earthquakes? or do you not think that's God doing that?
Well, that is easily changed. God would be ecstatic if you were to believe, accept His son's gift of salvation and be guaranteed eternal life. Each day on this earth is a precious gift from God, to me, as well. But, death is not the end.I'm confused because you are not making any sense.
I thought I might have been upsetting you asking so many questions.
I try to have a nice day every day because every day is precious to me, unlike you this life is all I have.
Well, if believing that it's all in my head makes the most sense to you, so be it.I have no choice but to go with what makes the most sense.
I have dozens of feelings about a lot of things too, that are my own and in no way shape or form from a supernatural entity. However, when they come, there is no possible way that the thought or feeling came from my own mind.I can read the words but they make no sense to me, I have dozens of feelings about a lot of things but I don't put them down to a supernatural entity.
You still don't get it. God wants everyone to be saved. He allows everyone to see, if they want to. You chose to be blind. All you have to do is ask to see. It's your stubbornness to not believe in something beyond the explainable. It's your pride in your intelligence. You need to be humble, and understand that your intelligence is finite, earthly and limited by the laws of this dimension. When you do that and have faith in things beyond your dismal wisdom, then you will see.That's a cop out, doesn't your God want as many souls in heaven with him? why would he allow some to see and others not to see?Are you saying that your God does not want the people he made to use the brains he gave us?
Not quite. The word of God is all the evidence I need. Accepting it means I get the proof.you have twisted things around to say that no evidence is all the evidence you need to confirm to you that there is a God,
Not too easy, it would just bring every Tom Dick and Harry in to the wedding.if your God gave people evidence everyone would believe and that would be all too easy,
Well I don't know, but it's raining on the dryer just stopped on my poodle and it's much faster to travel by train than by New Jersey................What the heck are you talking about.I suppose your wife telling you she hates you really means she loves you.I don't think you would like it because it would mean you were not special if everyone could have it.
Ah, there you go. You nailed it. Satan has you all educated now. "Religion is nothing more than an ego trip" This is perfect Satan 101.Religion is nothing but an ego trip, "the maker of the universe loves me and want's to take care of me", believers become someone instead of just being one of billions and billions who are born and die day after day after day, a non-entity.That's Pascal's wager, just in case there's a God it's best you believe, no, if there really is a God he would know that you really don't believe and you are just hedging your bets.
If I die and I'm standing in front of the God of the Bible I will at least have the satisfaction of knowing I am a better and more moral person than he/it could ever be, giving me a brain then expecting me not to use it, thank you but no thanks.
Oh man, I am sorry but you have so much to learn.Yes let's, what have you got? the NT is the only place Jesus is ever mentioned, outside of that Jesus did not exist.
Well it's good to know that even though I'm dead you think I will still have my mind and my body.When you stand in front of God you are going to think like that, huh? Me thinks you will fall prostrate to the ground, lose all bodily function control and shake like a human being. And, in that moment of time it will be mind=blown.
You really do live in a dream world don't you?You will have the satisfaction of actually being one on one with your creator though, as He looks right through your "I am a better moral person than He" and into you trembling heart.
