should come down here and be like "Eh Crare... I'm real" and then prove it. Instead, he has to be a dick about it and let us base our lives off
faith before we can go to Heaven and worship him even more until the end of time. I don't like being told I have to believe something I have no
proof of or else I am going to be in eternal pain and suffering when I die. Faith is not something to base my life off of.
50 bucks to the person who can make me believe in god.
well reading your reply here, it's clear as day and night that you hold a grudge. Based on the context of your own words, your angry. Seeing is
believing? Can you see time? You know it exists, but you can't see it. Is the wind real? You can't see it, but it is. Don't hold God accountable
for what man has done to you. Quoting the bible does no good? Perhaps you should try to understand what the scripture implies? Everything a human does
is for a reason. Cause and effect can't be escaped. You cannot say "I'll never have an itch again", you would be lying to yourself. You WILL get
an itch and you will scratch it. Thus cause and effect. So how is man any different than nature? The moon controls the tides, you can't see this, but
it is so. You can't see an itch, but it will be. Going outside and looking at nature, animals etc... you see no higher meaning? No reasons beyond our
brief existance here with so many so called important decisions and the cause and effect that we so steadfastly chase after? What do you know about
evil and temptation. Can you not see the sin that ONLY man commints? Why do you think your at this website? Everybody here is looking for the truth.
They deny God and even knowing they deny him, blame him for the worlds misfortunes. They see the evil that man does run rampant, but when looking for
answers blame the Creator, but not themselves or their fellow man. Understanding your own sin and the evil you do is the first key to understanding
why God gave his only Son to atone for our evil, self centered, greedy, arrogant, hateful ways.
By faith we understand
Hebrews 11:1-3
Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.
For by it the elders obtained a good testimony.
By faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that the things which are seen were not made of things which are
visible.
Hebrews 12:1-2
Therefore we also, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the SIN WHICH SO EASILY ENSNARES
US, and let us run with endureance the race that is set before us,
looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, who for thejy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat
down at the right hand of the throne of God.
