So, can you prove your claims?

Question

How would you prove that your god exists — without using arguments that someone from another religion would use to prove that his god exists, and without reference to the Bible?

Answer 1

Boy are you going to get a whole host of cop-out answers from the looney religiously infected types.

Answer 2

It's faith.

To use a kind of cliche example .... You can't see the wind, but you see the trees moving and a plastic bag being blown across the street .... not being able to see it doesn't mean you don't think that the wind actually exist. You can't see some sort of force or hand reaching out and grabbing the apple, bowling ball, whatever, that you hold in the air and let go of, but you call the force gravity and you know it's there. I can't see my God, but I believe He's there and that He created the earth, etc. It's the same idea as gravity and the wind, only bigger. Just because not everyone chooses to believe that He exists doesn't make Him any less real. He is SO real. I've seen so many things he's done, in my life and in the lives of my friends. How is believing in a higher power that you can't see anymore extreme than believing that the Big Bang created it all, and it's all here by chance?

Let me try a very extreme hypothetical ....
If you had a friend who believed that gravity wasn't real, you'd try to tell him or explain what gravity is and why it's real, right? Just because you dropped that bowling ball on your foot (been there done that) and your (hypothetically remember) friend who doesn't believe in gravity hasn't experienced that things fall when there isn't something holding it up, doesn't mean gravity doesn't exist.

Answer 3

sorry but if you want proof from a christian whether God exists then the Bible has to be used.

or else prove evolution without text books, science, bones etc.

interestingly.. the Bible and science can work together to prove God's existence.
its the arena of debate for apologetics.

Answer 4

I can't prove that God exists. It is a matter of faith. I believe it, but I don't use that to try to convince people. It is something that you believe or you don't. If someone asks me, I'll talk to them about it, but I don't ever start any conversations about God with people. It's not my way.

Answer 5

Personal experience. But you'd have to believe me wouldn't you? And since you appear by your question to not believe in the existence of god, that wouldn't work would it?

How would you prove god does not exist? - and no using secular books.

Answer 6

Well, if you are very pretty and single and live close by, and are willing to go out with me, I will prove it to you, without any reference to the Bible.

Answer 7

I 've had many supernatural experiences, but I suppose those moments were between God and I. So you might want to ask yourself why God would reveal himself to some but not to others? Do you really want to know God with an open mind and open heart or is your mind already made up?

Answer 8

We don't have to prove it. Its obvious, you see it all around you everyday. You see the SUN RISES EVERY MORNING!
Do you think that there is a switch in the White House the President turn on every morning for you?
You see the moon at night do you? It provides light for the night. WHO DO YOU THINK PROVIDED THAT? GOD!!!

HE CHANGES NOT!

Answer 9

Not fair.
You ask for proof, then limit the ability to answer.
How would you like it if you're told:
"Come over here, but don't walk on the floor."
The only answer that can be given, considering your limitations, is that it should be so freaking obvious as to be without question.

Answer 10

the same way you would prove you breath in air,when you cant see it but its there.
