Inner convictions.?

Question

Why should one's inner convictions about the existence of "God" indicate that such a being exists outside of the believer's own mind? In other words, if we can rely on subjective "intuitions" about god, why can't we rely on subjective intuitions about ghosts, devils, witches, and other supernatural agents ?

Answer 1

God is not a circus act. No one can prove God's existence to another person. God's nature is to give us free will. If he really showed himself to you or me, we would be so overwhelmed we would be intimidated to choose his sales pitch.

(His sales pitch is harmony. His adversary's is disharmony. )

Now, to your question. I believe that you can prove God's existence to yourself. (what can you lose to try it?)

Simply (by mental telepathy) ask God "God, If I live a life of harmony, or at least try to live a life of harmony, will I go to Heaven? I need proof God. Please send me the Holy Spirit to prove it mentally, emotionally, and physically within my body.

(Make sure you are alone. Be as far away from a church building as you can get. Be as serious as you can.)

Why? Bubba preachers have corrupted about every verse in the Bible. starting in 325AD

After you have proof, just read the words of Jesus as quoted in the bible. remember when he say "me" he meant "my message"

Stay away from Paul's writings in the Bible, they are generally corruptions of Jesus' message. They were intended to extend his empire by converting Gentiles regardless of what he had to say to them to get them to join his church.

Answer 2

Things like ghost and witches are as real as God, the only difference is that the religions that have been in power all the time have worked a lot in making people beleive that they are not real the same way that people are tought since they are born that God is real and inquestionable. We cannot see microbes and they are real. Say it on 1600 and somebody can kill you. People died trying to prove that earth wasn't flat nor the center of the universe, so, who is so sure that something doesn't exist just because it cannot be seen?

Answer 3

Subjective intuitions about anything prove only that one has subjective experiences, and don't have anything to do necessarily with objective reality. There are always those who are willing to inflict their own subjectivity upon others and claim that it is "objective reality". Subjective experience is never the criteria for demonstrating scientifically and objectively the existence of anything.

Answer 4

Because there has been a revelation to the world
1. The preservation of the Jew for at least 6000 years which includes escaping from Egypt with 3million jews from the angry Pharoah. A historical fact.
2. The Revelation of Jesus Christ King of the Jews establishing Himself as a key figure in history.
3. The establishment of biblical prophesies even in our current times. Example: The establishing Israel as a State in one day as predicted in the Tenauch. Oher prophesies http://www.livingwaters.com/Merchant2/graphics/tracts/prophecy/index.html

Now you carry the ball from here -Shalom

Answer 5

Oh, definitely we can!
Well, keeping in mind that by "relying" you don`t assume their existence...

"If every time it rained you were taught that elves cause it to rain, each time it rains you`ll see proof of the existence of elves."
