Fellow Christian...?

Question

does not Genesis 1:1 answers it all? The atheist cannot sunstantiate there point, but we can. But even if we don't have a Bible handy, just looking around proves his existence. Right, the Bible ASSUMES that He already exist. The point is that the atheist (whom Jesus also died for) cannot disprove it. So, on the get go, we already have them on the run!

Answer 1

what I have experienced in my life proves Gods existence to me, the change it my life proves Gods existence to those that know me.
if people think that i am rude now they should have met me before God changed me.
but the Atheist that have not met me, and do not know me (except what i write here) and do not accept the bible, are not on the run, and have a right to believe what God wants them to at this time, He said in the bible, "for I have blinded their eyes" so let them remain blind until God see fit to open the eyes and hearts, and reveal himself to them.

so let us spend our time helping those that want help, instead of attacking those that are happy in their bliss.

Answer 2

First.... what's this unending "Fellow Christian" jargon... it really grates.

Anyway, Genesis 1:1 is a simple unprovable statement. It's like saying "Doesn't the opening of A Tale of Two Cities answer it all?"

If a statement is to be at all poignant, it must be able to be substantiated. Looking at the world, one can see "creation", not merely at the hand of a Christian God, but of a number of others as well. It all depends on which faith you choose. Too, one can see the marvels that life itself has accomplishe on it's own. Whether by God or by Evolution, life is amazing.

Science is doing it's part. Nearly every day, it find new evidence showing how the universe most likely has come to be. Years ago, Christians ridiculed the concept of a Big Bang, calling those who believedin in it "simple". Funny turn around that now they equate it with Genesis 1:3; saying that it was true all allong, and that it "proves" the Bible. They ignore the fact that the theory of the Big Bang excludes some vocal deity having "spoken" when there was no air to seak.

So now, the focus is on evolution. Christians read Genesis, with little regard that the first two chapters show conflicting descriptions of creation, yet still claim that it is to be taken literally. In the first chapter, plants and animals are created before man, and in the second, afterward. If the Bible doesn't agree with itself on how creation came about, how can Christians justly claim to know the truth better than men and women of Science?

Let's see if your fellow christians can answer this simple conundrum: If Genesis 1 and Genesis 2 tell different stories of creation, why? and which is correct? Let's try to do so without resorting to mystical "first creation and second creation". If God did it twice, what was wrong with the first way?

So, "fellow christians" what "evidence" do you have? In what way do you hold yourselves to the same standards that you hold yourselves?

Answer 3

Unfortunately they can and do, I did, before coming to know Christ on a personal level. I also went through a time of creationism which I truly believe that God created the heavens and the earth in a literal 6 day 24 hour a day creation week. God is God and as such He is Omnipotent, and could have done it all in the first nano-second on the first day if he so desired to do so, but he had a plan in mind! Praise the LORD. However back to the question at hand. It is a faith based system, the atheist who says there is no God, (which the Bible claims is a fool) also lives by a faith based system. For example he has faith that there will be a tomorrow, for no apparent reason, he can say that there was a yesterday there is a today there will be a tomorrow, but he still has to accept it by faith that it will come to pass, if even in the slightest characteristics. Everyone lives by faith, of something, they may not agree and even deny God, but in doing so that doesn't make God nothing or less, it just means that have free will to do so and by it perish in the end.

It all boils down to this which is it easier to believe - in a world that was designed, organized, planned and made by fiat command by an Omnipotent, Omniscient, Omnipresent God or that it was all haphazardly formed by randomness and chance. It takes more faith to believe in the latter than the former!

Answer 4

I'm not an Atheist. I believe God exists. I have no problem seeing that. Since most religions believe this; I can't see how a belief in God's existance, proves the Bible is right. I'm a Hindu. I believe Lord Shiva is God. And Lord Jesus didn't die for my sins.

Answer 5

No Gen.1:1 does not answer it all but says it all. Then with each new sentence we have a further explaination of how all of creation toke place. So each sentence amplifies further what was previously said. Also we get deeper and deeper into the mind of God of what is important to Him. This book is only written for a small group of people in every age to understand and believe, these people are called prophets which means seerers in the Old Testiment. Moses set a pattern of Prophets as people that spoke to God, then God through them types of people related what God spoke to the people in general, these words are called the Bible which accumlates all of these stories to come up with a theme. Now when Jesus came, he came as the answer to all of the perviously unknown questions, but this was in the middle of the book, and actually the middle existed before the beginning. here is the proof; John 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2The same was in the beginning with God. 3All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. 4In him was life; and the life was the light of men. 5And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.
Key word here being that he knew them before the world was created Romans 8:29 For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren.

Jesus was the firstborn of creation and he created all things in Heaven and on earth; Colossians 1:15 Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature:Colossians 1:18 And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have the preeminence. Hebrews 12:23 To the general assembly and church of the firstborn, which are written in heaven, and to God the Judge of all, and to the spirits of just men made perfect,
Yes God is the father of all the athesist, but he did not know them before the foundation of the world, unless they are maybe a person like Paul in the Bible converted at a latter point in time. Here is my Bible offered proof God only died for the one he knew before the world was created; Revelation 13:8 And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.Revelation 3:5 He that overcometh, the same shall be clothed in white raiment; and I will not blot out his name out of the book of life, but I will confess his name before my Father, and before his angels.Revelation 21:27 And there shall in no wise enter into it any thing that defileth, neither whatsoever worketh abomination, or maketh a lie: but they which are written in the Lamb's book of life.Revelation 20:15 And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.

Faith, charity are what God is looking for, but the only works a Christian can do is believe God sends a person in your day, not a future day or a past day. John 6:29 Jesus answered and said unto them, This is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he hath sent.
This is where most people fail God, they look back and see God and the look to the future and say yes I see God is coming but they cannot see the Living God of today and he never changes his ways; Hebrews 13:8 Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever.

Answer 6

only a moron would use the bible to prove itself.

what if a harry potter book (or any other myth book other than the myth book Bible) made that claim?

making the statement doesn't make it proof or fact.

you know what else you cannot disprove? the tooth fairy. leprachauns. you cannot disprove that an invisible school called Hogwarts exists somewhere in England. and a HUGE list of other things you cannot disprove. it doesn't make ANY of them true by default. that is the argument of an illogical child.

Answer 7

my people who were all wonderful Christians never concerned themselves with others beliefs.have them on the run? this isnt a game. realize spiritual things. pray. ask the Spirit to guide you listen in your self for that quiet voice which will answer you and try to then to do Gods will. this is the way to spiritual growth and the attainment of getting to heaven. judge now. least you be judged. dont play with spirituality or you will caught up in the trap the Prince of the power sets for you in you mind.give it all to the Spirit of God and it will guide your ways, you sound like a child playing a game. peoples spirtuallity is not a game, you should be for them not against them. pray for them.l ove them give them to God and concern yourself with your own spiritual journey or you may become lost .I can see this happening by your words. please stop it right now. get on your kneees and ask Gods spirit to guide you.This is where most all true knowledge and wisdom awaits you.I hope you have a Merry Christmas
