delkuf: Will God cease to be God if He reveals His face to humans? My husband will not be happy if I attend another church but that does not mean that I can't ignore his unhappiness and do as I like, I'm not just interested in attending any other church except the only thing they do there is singing Gospel music. Do you have prove that we are able to breathe because of God? No. You just believe because the Bible says it is so. THE BIBLE IS NOT A PROVE. The same applies to other examples you mentioned. I'm not saying God is not responsible for creation of humans, ability to breathe and all that because I can't prove that. I'm only saying, if you claim that a God is responsible, THEN PROVE IT. If you can't prove it, it means you're not different from me. We are just BELIEVING. You believe that God created the world but you don't have generally accepted proves while I also believe that God may not have created the world but I don't have generally accepted proves. |

delkuf: I've done that for 25 years and I'm not longer interested. If He wants me to know Him and follow Him,, He knows what to do |

Nooil: You can call it backsliding if you choose I live a morally upright life. I try to be a good citizen of Nigeria I even still preach the Bible to Christians if that will make them change their ways and follow the lifestyle of Christ. I won't "make it back" to the Christian God without tangible proves that He is real. I'm tired of Bible stories |

ggirl4real:I like the fact that you said we are just believing. All God want from us is to believe him even without seeing him. Though you can go to any other church, but what am saying is your husband has is own will. So since your husband has his own will, and you don't want to make him unhappy by going against his will, why go against God's will. God will for us is to believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, and the Lord Jesus Christ is no longer here on earth, so we are to believe God without seeing him. Now you want God, and when I mean God am also talking about the Lord Jesus Christ, to appear to you first before you believe him. If you respect your husband enough by sticking to his will even though might be pleasing to you(some of your husband will might be pleasing to you), why shouldn't you just respect and accept God's will by believing in him even without seeing him |

ggirl4real: How can you preach from the Bible, want people to follow the lifestyle of Christ and you still don't believe in the Christian God? Which lifestyle are you now preaching? Nne, I rest my case... |
Re: Atheists, Have You Asked God To Prove Himself, And He Didn't Answer? by delkuf(m): 11:01am On Sep 20, 2020 |
ggirl4real:No. You are doing it with an bias mind. And has shown in what you wrote earlier. You want God to appear to you and God want you to believe in him even without seeing him. Why don't you just love and respect God's will. |

We see or don't see what we want to see or refuse to see. Once you decide to get a particular car, you will see this car everywhere. How our perception works has been shown in experiments such as the 'Invisible Gorilla'. The phrase, "the invisible gorilla," comes from an experiment created 10 years ago to test selective attention. In it, study participants are asked to watch a video in which two teams, one in black shirts and one in white shirts, are passing a ball. The participants are told to count how many times the players in white shirts pass the ball. Mid-way through the video, a gorilla walks through the game, stands in the middle, pounds his chest, then exits. Then, study participants are asked, "But did you see the gorilla?" More than half the time, subjects miss the gorilla entirely. More than that, even after the participants are told about the gorilla, they're certain they couldn't have missed it. In this sense, God can only prove himself to those who believe he exists. In the words of Zora Neale Hurston: "Gods always behave like the people who make them." |

ggirl4real:That is the beauty of Christianity. You go against the will of you husband that you live and see every day, how will you obey a God that may just appear to once or few times in a year. You are just using it as an excuse. We see ourselves every day and still steal from ourselves, kill ourselves and do bad to ourselves, even if God appear to us every day, we would still disobey him. The question is not God appearing to you, the question is if we truly want to obey God. If your husband, maybe a job assignment comes up and have to leave for a year, will you still be obeying his will like you are when he is with you. My sister, leave all this filthy excuse, and take the decision for your life. Not just this life but for the eternal life 1 Like 1 Share |

[sub][/sub ggirl4real: And that is where u make the grave, tricky mistake of PRIDE. You want to dare God? To put Him to the test to reveal himself to your satisfaction? Because you are who that he should do according to ur will and not His? Pls girl, "lean not on your own understanding, but just obey the laws God has commanded you to obey" pls , for your own good. He made all things for his pleasure and does as he PLEASES. I came to learn and accept that thru experiences. I love Him for Who he is. My darling, Do not let Satan lead u astray with your own mind, making u to think that u are a wise thinker by your own strength. Just obey the ten commandments and don't forget to 'love your God with all your might, soul and strength" Now with thay statement u made up there, have u been loving Him with all u have got in you? If u have been doing so, then will u be tired because u have been trying to get God to show u proof, or reveal himself to you through a direct physical encounter?? You have already broken a golden rule. What if God was testing u all these years since He alteady knew your thoughts and doubts? Then u have not impressed Him! Good news is, you still have the time and breath of life to impress him. Do not worry, he knows where ur weaknesses lie. He will support you where he needs to come in. He has been doing this and that is why u are still alive and well. You just do your own part and leave Him to do his own. Do not think for Him or tell him what to do as your God. You make him feel that u do not trust him to be God that he states je very well is. God is not a man that he should ever need to lie. He doesn't need to impress us with lies or glaring signs, when he can just wipe us off the face of the earth. We on the other hand, are the ones to impress him by loving him all year round. Doubting God's existence is SIN and you know that sin makes us not receive from God the things we feel we should when we ask him. It is not enough to say that u are a believer. You must proove it with faith and actions. Pls stop thinking that u are wise in your own frame of mind. As a true christian, I care enough about yyou not to ignore this thread and see you ignorantly walk in darkness without being aware of it (pls it's not an insult dear). My conscience is convicted to try in my own little way to give u the truth in d form of encouragement and advice. Ok, fine, if u claim for 25 years u knew him and u didn't get a sign, then u lack patience and selfless love for God. Your love has condition attached, don't u see it now?? Ok, What of Abraham and others who only heard from God when they were already past the age of 50 ? What will u say about this? Are u better or wiser than they were? No u are not, dear. PLS, RETRACE YOUR STEPS AND RUN BACK TO CHRIST. Trust me, i have lived life more than you have. I have done it all and i have seen things that were spiritual in nature which told me that there had to be a God. I have dreams and they come to past. I get warnings, rebukes and i see them manifest in reality. Pls , drop whatever u think you know and Humble your sweet self and calm your mind plsss and go back to the bible with an open heart. Unless u just enjoy living in sin?? Well, some ppl like their comfort zone of sin, so they block out the convictions and guilt feelings the word of God gives them. You should not be one of such people. The fact that u are always looking for answers and reasons in religion section tells u that u are not done with Christ and He ain't done with u either. It means u are looking for something , maybe u do not totally understand what u are looking for. Babe, chill, calm down, breathe and now that your Spirit is leading u to this forum always because u are destined to know amd be part of the body of Christ Jesus. Pls do not drive the Holy Spirit away by greiving Him. I am here if u need me sha. You can ask me whatever ques. u want to. We are all here for each other. That is why we all come to this forum, i believe. No one person knows it all. The Spirit will lead and guide us as it wills. My own duty i guess, is tonight. And i have been led here. Awwwn, I wish i could hug u right at this point . U know that bear kinda hug right? You are important to God and me, by extension of the faith. I love u girl! U have to run yoir race . Do not give up. I do not mind longsuffering for you just to hear that u finally found truth in Jesus and u have peace of mind from knowing the truth... mehn, i have my own issues too oh, but i can longsuffer with u if i have to just to see u reedemed again. Iron sharpens iron. We all need help and God has placed us on earth to help each other in the faith amd build an army for him(not war armies sha. But u get..) You are special. I know it. Don't u see it too that u are? Babe, come on! |

ggirl4real: Oh God reveal Yourself to me. Oh Lord reveal Yourself to me. Oh God reveal Yourself to me. Oh my God reveal Yourself to me. Oh heavenly God reveal Yourself to me. Oh God reveal Yourself to me. i don't think it's like that na. If God answered everybody that says that in the way you are expecting, then there will be no need for faith. Without faith, you cannot please God. What exactly do you want to see from God, you want to see His face, you want to hear His voice or what? |
