Come on, it was a cliff.
Luke 4:9 And he brought him to Jerusalem, and set him on a pinnacle of the temple, and said unto him, If thou be the Son of God, cast thyself down from hence:
Neither do you. You believe you do, just as you believe there is a god. That doesn't make it true.

Because you do not believe you do not have the knowledge to know who God is. For you believe not in God or that he is.
You forgot Luke 22:70
Jesus is the Word (John1:1-3AV), Jesus is the fullness of the Godhead bodily (Col 2:9AV), the Father, the Word and the Holy Ghost are one (1John 5:7AV).
Even given the proof you will throw it off as myth, as lies, as anything but what it is, the truth.
You Err not knowing the scriptures
Ro 8:11 But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you.
1Co 3:16 ¶ Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and [that] the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?
2Ti 1:14 That good thing which was committed unto thee keep by the Holy Ghost which dwelleth in us.
Jas 4:5 Do ye think that the scripture saith in vain, The spirit that dwelleth in us lusteth to envy?
1Jo 4:12 No man hath seen God at any time. If we love one another, God dwelleth in us, and his love is perfected in us.
1Jo 4:15 Whosoever shall confess that Jesus is the Son of God, God dwelleth in him, and he in God.
1Jo 4:16 And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us. God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him.
Mt 6:22 The light of the body is the eye: if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light.
23 But if thine eye be evil, thy whole body shall be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in thee be darkness, how great is that darkness!
Thats false. I don't believe God doesn't exist. I'm pretty sure we cleared that up on a separate thread. My stance is that myself and everyone else hasn't any evidence that God does or doesn't exist. A book, written by man, doesn't prove God exists. Just like a book on Santa doesn't prove Santa exists.

you know not what I believe and can never know that truth because you believe not that God exists.
Trying to use the same book that says he exists, to prove he exists, is the same argument as saying Santa exists, because a book says so.
The proof he exists in in the answered prayer, supply and in my heart for God resides there in the person of Jesus Christ, the Father and the Holy Ghost.
Ro 8:11 But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you.

1Jo 4:16 And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us. God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him.
you didn't have to look it up I gave it to you. No, he said he would not tempt the LORD God. Not that he knew they wold catch him. Satan used that against him.

Jesus isn't God. Jesus is the son of God.
So, again, we have to believe in your God even though we can't prove he exists? What makes that any different from any other religion? What makes your religion the correct religion?
1John 5:7 For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one.
In my example above I do know my priorities. By faith God supplied for our NEED. But I would not temp God by jumping off a building not even Jesus did that. If Jesus refused to do it when asked so will I.
My priorities aren't to tempt God but to trust him and that is where reason comes in hand, deciding where and when we trust him is where Reason comes in.
So while the two can be juxtapositional they also compliment each other when one lives a life trusting Our God and Saviour Jesus Christ.

I'm not going to go round in circles debating the son of god vs Jesus is god.
I'm also not going to go around in circles debating if there is a god or not.
Both of those are futile for us to debate with each other. Neither of us are going to accomplish anything.
