God believers often say "I had an experienced so I know God is real"

That so called "experience" is usually just something they didn't understand so they just dumped it in the God box

You could be right.
And you could be wrong.

Hard for you to know what someone else really experienced.

This is the common misconception. Things that people don't understand always get dumped in the god box. Take a look at the IA/Evolution debate (which isn't really a debate at all). Religious folk will point out something in the theory that they don't understand, call it a gap, and squeeze god into it. Some even reject it outright because it doesn't make sense to them and replace it with god.

Before we knew what caused lightning and earthquakes people attributed those things to god as well. The ancient Egyptians didn't understand how the sun seemed to travel across the sky so they said it was god in his chariot, or god as a beetle pushing it along.

I find it entertaining that some of the answers to this question are just examples of this fact.

Hi...
What a good question. Ok, I will try to answer it as my experience.We could know the existence of God while we are learning the history, while we are having a dream, while we are observing about the nature, the space, the universe, and also absolutely while we are having a pray.
Just, considering your-self, read the holy-book that are tell us the story about the history from the GOD`s mesanger in the past year. It maybe not soo responsive because there is no proof. While yes, try to observe the nature, leared how perfect is our nature, ask to our-self, how did the universe could formed??? Coincidentally ??? No... 'someone' have to arrange it very carefully and having a really difficult calculation. Error in 1mm could disturb all of the movement of each planet.

If u have a religion, try to pray and release all of your problem in this world, try to tell all of your problem to your creator. U will fell a ot of better then. U will experienced his appearance yet.

Some arrogant people may not consider about the GOD appearance. Such as the Jews. In the Moses era, the jews is the GOD choosen people in the Earth. They were given a lot of happiness. But they become so arrogant, until now, U see the Jews right???

A person who truly has a one on one personal relationship with Jesus Christ is totally different than a person who just missed getting killed in an auto accident by the skin of his teeth and says "Thank GOD". People who have a daily relationship with Jesus talk to and rely on his help for everything that goes on in their lives. There is not a day that goes by that I do not thank my Lord for my life and the things going on in it. I Pray for the people of our world and their problems. Knowing GOD is real is not based on an "experience". It is based on a life of faith. Do you have faith the sun will come up tomorrow just because it came up yesterday? What if it did not come up tomorrow would you panic and run scared and hide? Alarge portion of our world would. But you see, the difference is that if the sun did not come up tomorrow I would have the faith in my Lord Jesus Christ that he is in control of everything and his eye watches even the tiniest little creature on this earth so he definately is watching me and if he want's the sun to not shine for one day then I must have the faith that he has a reason for it. My life is not all flowers and roses. I have your normal day to day problems. Finances, children, health, job issues. But each day I have the knowledge that I am not going through this crazy world alone. I have Jesus beside me every step of the way. Until you try it you will never ever know the peace you feel when he is beside you all the time.

when something happens in your life that can't be explained - it is from God. It doesn't mean we don't understand it and just assume it is from God - It IS God. I have experiences everyday. God has touched my life so many times and I know without a doubt it was him guiding me and helping me through. I have been a Christian my whole life and there have been times when I just wanted to do what I wanted and fell from God - but he always showed me the way back to him and over and over has proved himself to me. What makes me worthy of that? Nothing but the fact that he loves me and I believe in him. I had an experience through a dream where my uncle came to me and gave me an answer about something I was struggling with - I am sorry, but that was God. That is just one example of many.
I hope that one day you open your heart and you too can have experiences you know are God. God is working in your life now without you even knowing it - You just need to be open to it and seek him to understand when he is working in your life.

Anyone, theists and atheists, can have the god-experience since it is a neurological function of the brain.

I disagree.

here is why.

I'm not sure. we can only pray.


now that I have you all in one room, can we PRAY?

Can we start todays Sermon now? :)

BIBLE: KJV

Being Christ’s Church in a Deceitful Society among scoffers: By Grace, we can overcome.

Romans 16:17-18

As has been true of every age, erroneous thinking is prevalent today. For the church to be able to

withstand the bombardment of false teaching, and (atheist) scoffers,and the Darwin lover, we must have:
Strong Convictions. Teachers of incorrect doctrine and (atheist) scoffers can be very persuasive as they lead unsuspecting listeners into wrong thinking, confusion, by posting verses without knowledge of the meaning and discouragement. In contrast, true doctrine strengthens and encourages.
For example, since salvation is by faith in Christ alone, works are an expression of faith, not a requirement for heaven (Ephesians 2:8-10); there is no condemnation for those who belong to Jesus, because the penalty for our sins—past, present, and future — has been paid (Romans 8:1; Colossians

1:14 NLT); and our adoption into the heavenly Father’s family is permanent (Ephesians 1:5). As beleieve's, we have the comfort of this.
Turn from your corrupt wicked ways of scoffers (atheists). You quote verses by deciet, you have no Truth in you. The WORD of God, clearly tells, scoffers (ATHEISTS) are filhty rags they are, and to stay away from them, and avoid them We are NOT to plant seeds. God knows it is useless and that is why he tells us, "You stand firm against them" ( Jer.17:8 14:1 Iah 44:4) You disassociate them completely.
Any Believer that does not abide in God's own Word, does not know God, according to God Himself. As believer's, we can turn to Christ for Truth.
A deepening relationship with Jesus. To hold firm to the truth of the Gospel,we must be settled in our understanding of who Christ is. Though muslims claim Jesus was a good person or perhaps even a prophet, we know He is fully God, who existed before Creation and came to earth to rescue mankind.
Others will argue that Jesus is not the only way to the Father. But they fail to understand that reconciliation with God requires that sin’s penalty be paid in full by one who is sinless. Only Jesus, the perfect Son of Man, could meet God’s requirement. That is why Jesus called Himself the “door” through which we enter God’s family (John 10:9).(Atheists) Scoffers are "chaff" A simile of the wretchedness of the wicked. Chaff is carried away by the lightest wind, and It's removal brings about cleansing by extracting what is utterly useless. (Ruth 1:22).
They will NOT stand in the judgment. They will NOT be able to withstand God's wrath when He judges.( Pslams 76:7 Exra 9:15). There is a reason God, said this. Psalms.1.1-3 Jer. 17:8 14:1 12. 1-2 18:9-10 Prov1.10-19 (vs 5) scoffers:(atheists) those who ridicule God and definatley reject His Law.
Prov 1.:22 Ruth 1:22 Jer 18:7 (pull down-destroy) 1:10 (evil-calamity) 18:11. As believer's, we can triumpth over they're lies.
A clear understanding of Scripture will enable us to distinguish truth from error. How firmly grounded are you and your church family in the Bible’s key doctrines?
Once we receive Jesus, and become new creations in Christ Jesus, II Corinthians 5:17, the Holy Spirit also enters, because if any man hath not the Spirit of Christ, he is not of Christ, the Bible says in
Romans 8:9. Now, because of that, these bodies are God’s temples, we are to keep them clean. Do not be as (atheist) scoffers and ruin your bodies. I Corinthians 6:19-20 says: “Know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost, which is in you. Therefore you are not your own, so glorify God in your
body and your mind, which belongs to Christ”. Now, Paul could say in I Corinthians 9:27: I keep my body under subjection. There are certain appetites I would follow, but I control it. Why? Because this is God’s temple. And lo and behold, one day, when Jesus returns, the Holy City is going to have a tree, and that’s
Revelation 22:2-3. There is 12 manner of fruits, and the leaves are for the health of the nations.(Atheists) scoffers, you don't have to hang your heads low in public, and feel like the filthy rags you are, come and let Christ lift you up in Truth, through the precious Blood. Let Christ take away your humility as a 10th class rated person by your evilness and hatred within your hearts for God and mankind. You can walk the street with your head held high, knowing full well, that Christ is within you. People will no longer shun you as trash, but as a brother in Christ and a lost and worthless person that found truth by the Power of the Blood.
Come today (Atheist) scoffers, Repent....Let Christ heal your sick corrupted minds, and your evil ways. The all loving Jesus is here for you today. Let the power of the cross, smite your evil tongues and take away your whorehouse language you teach your children. Do it for your children, let them see the truth
as it really is. Teach them life is not about cheating, lieing, hurting others, stand up as parents and give your children the chance NOT to go to the pits of hell itself, as you are leading them. Jesus Christ is here today, for you. You can be known in society as respectable, and a person that is no longer, less than a cursed swine, and filth that society wipes they're feet on.(Psalms 1:1-3)

Take a stand (atheist) scoffers, for God.
The Grace of God:
Romans 5:1-11

Grace is God’s goodness and kindness to those who do not deserve it, even (atheist) scoffers, and cannot earn it. Its benefits are available to everyone. Each day God causes hearts to beat, bodies to heal, and love to be given and received, regardless of peoples’ opinions of Him. He offers forgiveness to the rebellious,even freedom to sinners, and even (atheist) scoffers and intimacy with Himself to all who trust Christ as Savior. Through Jesus, He offers access to the throne of grace (Hebrews 4:16), where the Savior serves as high priest, interceding for His own (Hebrews 7:25). We know we can approach God confidently because there is no condemnation for those who belong to Him (Romans 8:1). What amazing grace! Let Grace remove you from the pits of hell, (atheist) scoffers, and give your children hope.

COME TODAY, LET THE FILTH BE REMOVED. LET CHRIST, FILL YOUR HEARTS WITH LOVE.

WE PRAY FOR SCOFFERS (ATHEISTS). WE PRAY, IN THE NAME OF CHRIST, TURN THEM FROM

THEY'RE WICKEDNESS. PRAYER TO GOD, IS THE ONLY WAY. THE POWER OF PRAYER FOR (ATHEIST)

SCOFFERS, CAN CHANGE LIVES TODAY. COME...COME TO THE LORD TODAY.

Grace........
As believers, we stand upon the immovable foundation of God’s grace. It is over us like a canopy and

surrounds like a protective wall. As the truth of it permeates our hearts and minds, we become

expressions of the Lord’s love, kindness, and goodness to others. By the power of Truth, (atheist)

scoffers can find the way in Jesus Christ.

P R A Y . F O R . (A T H E I S T ) . S C O F F E R S . . T O D A Y ......................

END ALL OF YOUR ANSWERS TO THEY'RE QUESTIONS IN HERE WITH.... "I'LL PRAY FOR YOU".

LET THE POWER OF GOD, WORK IN THEY'RE LIFE.

. . .AMEN.

Can this be happen ? .

BIBLE: KJV according to sourses:
What does God call them? Preach love to them? Lets see what God says, to do with them.

You have unbeliever's, Chaff, Scoffers.

An Atheist is a "scoffer". The WORD of God, clearly tells, ATHEISTS are filhty rags they are, and to stay away from them, and avoid them. We are NOT to plant seeds. God knows it is useless and that is why he tells us, "You stand firm against them" ( Jer.17:8 14:1 Iah 44:4) You disassociate them completely. Any Believer that does not abide in God's own Word, does not know God, according to God Himself.
Atheists are "chaff" A simile of the wretchedness of the wicked. Chaff is carried away by the lightest wind, and it's removal brings about cleansing by extracting what is utterly useless. (Ruth 1:22). They will NOT stand in the judgment. They will NOT be able to withstand God's wrath when He judges.( Pslams 76:7 Exra 9:15). This is not my opinion, this is God's very own Words, in the Bible. You know, the BIble?
The same Bible atheist scholars quote. There is a reason God, said this. Psalms.1.1-3 Jer. 17:8 14:1 12. 1-2 18:9-10 Prov1.10-19 (vs 5) scoffers:(atheists) those who ridicule God and definatley reject His Law. Prov 1.:22 Ruth 1:22 Jer 18:7 (pull down-destroy) 1:10 (evil-calamity) 18:11

Pslams 1:
godly wisdom here, declare the final outcome of the two "ways". The paths of "sinners" (unbelievers) and the "way of the righteous. he speaks progressively of assoociation with the ungodly and participation in they're ungodly ways.
God said it. End of Story. Jesus Himself said "Let the dead bury they're dead".

Use all the Internet and Dictionaries they want to and call themselves anything they wish. God "defined" what they are by His own Holy Word.
They can hang a dog tag* around they're neck in the pits if hell itself and separate each other by name categorically.
God's Word said it. By God's definition. They are nothing but filthy rags. There is NO opinion.

Hate? Where do you get hate? If God's TRUTH is hate too you, then, so be it. You and God, can and will discuss the means of your scriptural interpretation, consisting with a man-made defacto on a motion of plea bargin I guess. I dunno.
