If you could not use a Bible to refer to for evidence, could you prove the existence of God (Yewhew, Jehovah, or whatever you wish to call him)? Could you prove you are a sinner? Would you be able to use another way to prove there was a heaven or a hell?
What proof would you use?

Yes, and I give you the Human Brain.
Studies, like that done by the University of Michigan, and features in the Discovery Channel program, The Amazing Life of the Human Brain, shows just how amazing the human brain is.
Every second while awake, we are absorbing 40MBs of data per second. That’s 144 gigabytes per hour and about 2 terabytes per day. That’s a lot of data even for the largest computer. When we sleep at night, and only at night or under nighttime conditions, all that data is sorted and stored through the creation of synaptic connectors and biochemical bounds. The brain has enough volume to allow for the creation of these storage connectors to last over 10,000 years.
Without the need of a creator, what evolutionary pressure could cause the need for this much volume that would take that long to fill? Clearly, man was either created by God to live that long, or if evolve, once lived that long, and has since de-evolved to what we are today. Which do you think it is?
Evolution does take place, in that animals have evolved and humans have de-evolved since the time of the creation. Many divergent species are related, such as the Meerkat/Hyena and the Lion/House cat. A house cat can breed with a lion, I wonder if the same is possible the Hyena and Meerkat?
This is why I believe in God. I use the brain he gave me, and designed for me, to determine something beyond imagining.

Yes, the Bible says that the evidence of God is in creation (Romans 1) so that man is without excuse if he does not believe. Also the Bible says that God has given man a conscience so that if he does not know God he will be judged on that.
Rom 1:20 For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes, His eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly seen, being understood through what has been made, so that they are without excuse.
Rom 2:12 For all who have sinned without the Law will also perish without the Law, and all who have sinned under the Law will be judged by the Law; 13 for it is not the hearers of the Law who are just before God, but the doers of the Law will be justified. 14 For when Gentiles who do not have the Law do instinctively the things of the Law, these, not having the Law, are a law to themselves, 15 in that they show the work of the Law written in their hearts, their conscience bearing witness and their thoughts alternately accusing or else defending them, 16 on the day when, according to my gospel, God will judge the secrets of men through Christ Jesus.

you do no longer want the Bible to comprehend God. The Bible is a instruction manual and coaching for healthful living, God's blueprint. It provides many examples of lives that have been directed and prompted by utilising God. Ask, seek for, and knock and the door would be open. I challenge you to easily start up chatting with the writer and transforming into to be a pal of God. once you do this your coronary heart or spirit will bypass with the aid of a ideas-set of substitute. it is your spirit that desires a sprint from God. Your soul or ideas can p.c.. up a Bible later and view for conformation on what your spirit has already quickened to you. Your ideas will start to comprehend the flaws of God extra on the instant. keep in mind it somewhat is the soul that ought to be saved. Our ideas could properly be prompted by utilising solid or evil. Our soul (ideas) desires the impression of the spirit. See your self as an ingredient of creation, with a spark of the divine nature of God in you. the dominion of God is interior you. Forgive, settle for and love your self. And forgive, settle for and love others unconditionally as you like your self. in case you do this you may locate that God is LOVE:) when you do this you may want to examine a Bible!!!

Yes. I'm working on typing it up for publication, it's kind of long.
I use the existentialist argument that if nothing matters objectively, we may as well impose our own meaning. That meaning as I see it hinges strongly on love and teamwork as a cure for social ills. The end result is a lot like what Christ taught without 2000 years of idiocy getting in the way.
Can I put you down for a copy when I'm done?
BTW, the Vonnegut novel GOD BLESS YOU MR. ROSEWATER is as strong an ethical document as any written in modern times. I suggest it to any and all who peek in on this thread.

Prove them??? Possibly no. Justify them yes. My beliefs as a Christian, and for that matter most people's religious beliefs are based on/in the ideal of being good to others.

The proof is all around us! Look and see for yourself. Where did our world and everything in it come from? The answer to that question is God. Each and everyone of us are walking miracles. Just think, we all came from a little seed that was planted in our Mothers womb.

God chose to give various men inspirational knowledge of Him and His ways and they are all part of the stories or books in the bible . if man had not collected and called all these stores and called it a bible .God would have instructed i believe other persons to put his thoughts and love for man in another book

have you read Case for Christ by Lee Strobel lately?
He was an Atheist who became a scientist to prove christianity wrong. He wrote many books for different ages showing what he found out. Read it! it's a good book!

well the bible is in word format, however many years ago GOD, said that counsel is in the heart of man, is like deep water, but a man of understanding will draw it out.
Therefore if theirs a bible or not, GOD words are already written in the heart of man, for him to obtain understanding through himself with the spirit of GOD guideing him, and that's why we call some people spirit led, or walking in the spirit .

Look at the carpet and everything on it , it proves there is a God... nah! I don't think so.
I see that oldguy63 has failed to get any grasp at all of your question and has resorted to quoting scripture as usual.
