Faith is blind. If faith is all that is needed to prove that something is real then unicorns are real because I have faith they exist. See? The faith thing does not work. Plus the stories in the bible themselves are far fetched and really push the boundaries of intellect and logic.
Definition of faith by the dictionary; a conviction that something is true without empirical evidence...
i wonder why someone will come and say a sky fairy have a sky house where he will give u when u die and ask u to.believe the shiiiiit with faith...
even their bible believe in unicorns (book of job)...
I wonder why they dont believe in unicorns with faith!!!

What about the half lion-half man or is it half eagle-half lion that will guard the 4 corners of the "new world"? I still can't get past the fact that Eve saw a talking and walking snake and thought it was normal to have a conversation with it. LOL!!! People I know would run screaming if they encountered a talking snake that also had legs (me included) LOL.

I thought there might be gold, so I dug and I found it.

Some want proof that gold is there,
and they don't dig, and they don't find.

But you don't have faith that unicorns exist,
you just say that.
Faith is truly believing, you don't truly believe that unicorns exist.
The faith you talk about is blind faith.

The Hebrew word that is translated to unicorn is:
reym, it means a wild bull.

So if I truly believe with all my heart that horses can fly and have horns then they would exist? Wouldn't that just mean I'm certifiable insane and in urgent need of asylum?

Just because I believe something exists does not make it exist unless what you are trying to say is that we are all gods and can create things at will by just believing.

Don't try to get cute or smart. Deception is a lie. No one spoke any Hebrew here. That you would need to pull charlatan moves to prove your god further cements the lie that is religion. Translating an English word into Hebrew then mis-translate it back to English reeks.

Why should I dig if you've already dug? Why don't you show me the gold YOU found that would be proof enough.

You don't understand,
the Hebrew word in the old text before the english translation is "reym" or "reem" if you prefer that spelling, and it means a wild bull.
Why the english translation say's "unicorn" I don't know.

The Hebrew text that the English was translated from has,
"reem reeym reym rem" for wild bull-ox,
rym ram raem, can also be used.

God's truth is important, not yours or my spelling.

These words are used in all the instances in the Bible where the english translation says unicorn,
and the hebrew words that they translated from mean "wild bull" - "wild Ox".

Eph 2:8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:

All I had to do was read the Bible wanting to know God and He gave me faith - belief, just as the verse says.
You too can find Him, you have to want to,
will He give Gold to those who won't dig for it, and who say it is not there.

Act 4:10 Be it known unto you all, and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom ye crucified, whom God raised from the dead, even by him doth this man stand here before you whole.
Act 4:11 This is the stone which was set at nought of you builders, which is become the head of the corner.
Act 4:12 Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.

There is some of the Gold that I found in just those few verses.

To me, God exist!

Why?

Because Nature and the Bible says so!
