It's impossible to have knowledge of the nonexistence of anything including God. Try again.
But the demonstration of this truth goes to the core of my being, it is undeniable. You cannot evade that by simply denying it.It's impossible to have knowledge of the nonexistence of anything including God. Try again.

You would have to demonstrate it.
On the contrary, if one has a list of traits of this God, as basic Christian theology provides, one can certainly look at the well evidence realities of our universe and make a determination how likely it is, this God exists.
In regards to a non personal God, absent any traits to go off of, then it would be a different story.
You say that, so you don't have to confront my argument. But as long as you cannot demonstrate that, my claim is as good as yours.Something's going to the core of your being, that's for sure. I don't need to deny it, I can simply rely on what is actually true. Right now it's true that you can't possibly have knowledge of the nonexistence of anything, including God.
Just as you can't say that the God Thor, does not exist.
You know, proving a negative and all.

You cannot deny the possiblity of me having the knowledge of the nonexistence of God. Thus, it is as reasonable for me to claim that I do as it is for you to claim that I don't.
But you have left out the actual reason, the reason I gave you...which is the contingent requirement set down by God. We are His creation...so He decides what is required.To answer your questions...sure, my wife.
As for "contingent requirements"....there's only one when it comes to the passing of knowledge from one person to the next, they must speak the same language.
We both speak english Scott, so there aren't many reasons to think you can't share this knowledge god has given you. One would be that the knowledge doesn't exist. Another would be that it's all personal opinions and beliefs with no real factual information.
No, I confirm the bible is true.Are you using the bible to prove the bible is right? For shame.
Exactly that. And you claimed that this truth has been demonstrated by "going to the core of your being, being undeniable".But is it the truth, that's the question.
At best Thor exists inside the human mind. Truth exists independent of the human mind and it's truth I rely on.
God is Truth, get it?
Exactly that. And you claimed that this truth has been demonstrated by "going to the core of your being, being undeniable".
If that is the way that this "truth" is demonstrated, I make the counterclaim: a different, contradicting truth is in exactly the same way demonstrated to me.
But you have left out the actual reason, the reason I gave you...which is the contingent requirement set down by God. We are His creation...so He decides what is required.
Also, yes, we both speak english, but you would have to believe me. And just as I would not trust you with my life (not at this point), you should not expect to trust me with yours...so believing my words is not realistic. But I can explain just how it works, and I have, which is confirmed by countless people down through the ages. But then you have to take it upon yourself. You are either a child of God and have it in you to see it through and trust in His requirements, or you are not His child, but only an animated part of his creation...which is a gift all by itself...but it does not include the bonus of eternal life.
As I said, you do whatever you will do about this...for you.
All the best!
If you require the wisdom of others to make your own decision...you still have to make it. What you decide, that is what you get. Go for it.But the fact that some geniuses were laughed at does not imply that all who are laughed at are geniuses. They laughed at Columbus, they laughed at Fulton, they laughed at the Wright Brothers. But they also laughed at Bozo the Clown. - Carl Sagan
Any God exists in the human mind, IMO.
I have yet to see you show otherwise.
You can say you rely on truth all you like. Demonstrating you have the truth, is a totally different thing.
"These are really delicious, try one!"I wonder if the below ever happens?
"You mean ... something bad is going to happen to me if I do not believe in (your version of) the Christian God?
Oh, no!
You've convinced me."
