God Is Real by Kingsnairaland(m): 9:17am On Jun 06, 2022
The Bible describes God as eternal (Psalm 90:2; 1 Timothy 1:17), all-powerful (Jeremiah 32:17; Colossians 1:17), infinite in understanding (Psalm 147:5; Isaiah 40:28), perfectly holy like no other (Exodus 15:11; 1 Samuel 2:2), the only God (Psalm 86:8–10), incapable of lying (Titus 1:2), Creator of the whole universe (Genesis 1:1; John 1:3), and Savior (Titus 2:13)—just to name a few attributes. How do we know such a God exists?

“Prove to Me There Is a God”

The skeptic’s condemning cry often comes as, “Prove to me there is a God.” Usually the agnostic or atheist expects physical or scientific evidence for the existence of God, but when the Bible believer cannot point to a living being and say, “There is God,” the skeptic thinks he has won.

What people often do not realize is that even if God appeared on the earth (which He has, in the person of Jesus Christ), we did not exist in eternity past and do not know the future, so we cannot prove by any human standard that He is eternal. Our understanding is limited, so we cannot prove that God knows all. And our limited perspective renders us incapable of proving God’s standard of morality as absolute and true. Not only that, but by our own fallible standards, our “telescopes are short-sighted,” and we cannot determine if He is the only God that exists inside (or outside) the universe. So, even if we could observe and scientifically test God by our own standards of operational science, we would be unable to prove all of His divine, eternal attributes because of our own limited mortality.

So any answer to the question, “How do we know there is a God?” that does not start with God’s own statements regarding Himself is self-refuting, inconsistent, and limited by human frailty because a finite, limited man can never ultimately prove the existence of an eternal, all-powerful, all-knowing God. Only an eternal, all-powerful, all-knowing being could prove the existence of the God described in the Bible.

Nope I didn't acknowledge your god is real. I guess your sarcasm detector is misaligned LoLz.

What threat of NATO was in Ukraine? The thing he didn't even want started happening because of his Invasion of Ukraine. Formerly nonaligned nations saw Putin's gambit and decided to opt for joining NATO so the so called threat has increased has it not?

Nope Finland won't make it to nato I hope you know last ten to 8 years Georgia and Ukraine thought they would join nato

At the end you will see nato won't come near Russia again.

Now it good for you to accept God is real and like I told you in your heart God has placed eternity which you must have noticed.

There is a force inside you that makes you confused about God God put it in there so that you can seek him and desire to know him then he will reveal himself to you.

You/we can't understand God with our humble Brain not possible.

No human can understand God with limited minds.

The definition of God is not what the human thought can grasp.

That why all human are perplexed on this issue for you to say your not confused about God shows you are because if you are not then I would have said God does not exist because a real God can't be calculated


The actually definition of God shows he can't be calculated because he is infinite in all area.

But you can only access God through faith in spiritual things.

Now if you argue that you are not confused all you have to do is read the Bible.

Read it to see if you think you are not confused then watch God start speaking to you from the Bible.

You literally just made an agnostic's argument.

The only difference is you are still beholding to a Christian framework, so you make a set of logical leaps.

Why do you consider the bible to be God's words? A Muslim believes the same of his Qur'an, the Hindu believes the same of his vedas, so also was Krishna the incarnation to their true God.
So what standards or methods do we apply to distinguish who's book and claims are the real ones and which ones are made up and should be thrown out, since God and its will is outside the realm of our feeble minds?

Off all those books or those religions

Non of them have ever had a leader or a man that has died and come back to life

Non of them have a leader or man that claim to be God

So only one book or religion that has all this qualities which is Bible Christianity

Specifically the new testament then

That would be incorrect, the Egyptians had Osiris for example, a god that died and was resurrected, among others.

Krishna did claim to be God, in the Bhagdavad Gita.

So.. why do you choose these two specific categories as the standard, what's the rationality?

Osiris played a double role: he was both a god of fertility and the embodiment of the dead and resurrected king. This dual role was combined with the Egyptian concept of divine kingship: the king at death became Osiris, though the living king was identified with Horus, a god of the sky.

The English is very clear they said he claim to be a god not.... God.


There is difference between a god and God

Now

Does Krishna claim to be God?
Answer

Krishna doesn't actually claim Himself as the only Supreme God. He says He is God, indeed, and that when one surrenders to Him, they will be absolved of all sins. He says, “I am the Ultimate”.

Pregnancy doesn't prove there was once only 2 human beings in the whole world. How can it, when the very people who are pregnant now were once themselves birthed so where did the so called Adam and Eve come from. They were not born going by the logic of the myth so pregnancy cannot be the proof of their existence. This is so simple I can't imagine why you'd agree with it.
