if god is real, then why did nothing happen when i asked him to reveal himself. and why do you lie saying that he has healed you when he doesn't exist. either he doesn't exist or he wants me to burn in hell. take your pick, both disprove your faith because if god does exist, he is not all loving

The fact that so far you may not have had what you consider to be, a satisfactory response does not disprove a thing. The bottom line is that no one will ever disprove God, because God really does exist, take it from me, I know.
Jesus will eventually be every ones judge, so it would be entirely inappropriate for us to behave as though we were His judge, which is precisely what you are doing by concluding that He is not a loving God.
If you really want God to reveal Himself then you must acknowledge what Jesus has done for you on the cross. May God bless you with the truth and may it set you free, In Jesus name. Amen.

1. Reveal yourself to me right now. What? I don't see you, so you must not exist.
2. I didn't say that God healed me.
3. How do you arrive at only two logical conclusions: either God exists, or he wants you to burn in hell? How is that logically valid? If hell does not exist, then does that prove the existence of God?

It sounds like you are approaching this from a logical standpoint. Man's wisdom (logic) is foolishness to God.
Avoid Worldly Wisdom
18 Let no one deceive himself. If anyone among you seems to be wise in this age, let him become a fool that he may become wise. 19 For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, “He catches the wise in their own craftiness”;[a] 20 and again, “The LORD knows the thoughts of the wise, that they are futile.”[b] (1 Corinthians 3:18-20)
Second of all, according to Jesus Christ Himself, it is by FAITH that we are healed. Obviously you do not have any faith.
51 So Jesus answered and said to him, “What do you want Me to do for you?”
The blind man said to Him, “Rabboni, that I may receive my sight.”
52 Then Jesus said to him, “Go your way; your faith has made you well.” And immediately he received his sight and followed Jesus on the road. (Mark 10:51-52)
God does exist and He doesn't want you to burn in hell. This is why He sent His Son to pay the debt that all mankind owed due to their sins. If you repent (turn away) from your sinful nature and follow Him, you won't have to burn in hell. It is your choice what you do, not His. If you don't repent, it will not be Him that put you in hell. It will be you. Stop using man's wisdom (logic) and start asking God to reveal His wisdom so that you may see the truth.

Your comments demonstrate your lack of sincerity. God knows your heart. Like all humans who have not gone through the "Rebirth", your insincere heart is in a state of defilement and degeneration. It cannot be "regenerated" by God until you reach a point of honestly admitting your defiled state… for “all fall short of the Glory of God”. He cannot manifest His Presence to you because of your current arrogant attitude towards this state, for if He did you will die instantaneously before His Presence. This is because that which is defiled cannot stand before Pure Holiness and Purity and survive, because "Light" pierces the "Darkness", thus God's Presence will kill, consume and devour you, for the Darkness is currently present in you, and you have not yet been "Transformed" via conversion through Christ His Son, called "Rebirth" through Christ.
The only way God will present Himself to you is through humility, humbleness and in knowing and confessing to His Son (the Door) that you are a defiled creature needing His Transforming touch to regenerate your heart and purify your spirit, soul and body, the "Tripartite Attributes of Human Wholeness". Only in this way does God begin the work of "reconstructing" and "rewiring" you "arightly"... which before (your current state) is contorted and skewed by the Evil One, called Satan, and by the influences of the Demonic Nature, since you had been in your mother's womb.
So, the reason why God has not appeared to you has been out of His Love for you, protecting you from finite and absolute death. And, this is why God seems dead and nonexistent to you, for you are not yet His. When you become His is when He will reveal Himself to you. And, the way you become His is only through His Son, Christ Jesus and the "Rebirth". There is no other way. Meanwhile, until then, the Holy Scriptures reveal that you are currently a child of Satan, the god of this world, and your heart is currently in a state of “unregeneration”… ‘the heart is exceedingly wicked, who can know it?”

i think it works like this. god does not do everything you ask, he isnt your little pocket genie, i too have asked and had unawnsered prayers. many believe that if you are still here then you ARE in hell, they believe that the appocalypse has already taken place and those still here are in hell. as for me i am not sure about all that and i try not to concern myself with it too much. i think that god exists but because of our own feeble human minds we do not understand all that he does or doesnt do, if you think about it the difference is tremendous a GOD compared to a HUMAN. i dont think there is a way we can fully understand god.

Look - you act as if you can collect on a life insurance policy at any time ... sorry - there are terms and conditions - mainly you have to die before your beneficiaries can collect.
Scripture is not any different - there are terms and conditions and apparently much you know very little about - such as your prayers not doing anything ... why???
Answer: Isaiah 1:15 And when ye spread forth your hands, I will hide mine eyes from you: yea, when ye make many prayers, I will not hear: your hands are full of blood.
Isaiah 59:1-3 also says: "Behold, Yahweh's hand is not shortened, that it cannot save; neither his ear heavy, that it cannot hear:
But your iniquities have separated between you and your Father Yahweh, and your sins have hid [his] face from you, that he will not hear.
For your hands are defiled with blood, and your fingers with iniquity; your lips have spoken lies, your tongue hath muttered perverseness."
Think about it my friend ... Our Loving Creator wants NONE TO PERISH ... but; he allows us to go whatever way you want to go in ... bummer you won't repent and quit sinning so that he will hear your prayers and turn his face back toward you .
Yahweh does not want you to burn - he wants you to repent ... he loves you enough that he allows his great name to be slandered by christians all the day long and he still gives them food in their season and lets it rain on their land as well ...
You just been lied to all your life is all - now you can change if you want - otherwise - you may change just the same if you survive the nuclear holocost that is comming to a city near you soon. ... this is by man - NOT BY YAHWEH ... Yahweh allows man to seek peace to the fullest by using every means except the laws of Yahweh that bring peace ... soon man will run out of opportunity to sin - as they will darken the sun and moon and will then realize that they really done did it now ... and all hope of life will be lost.
Mankind's hatred will have come to a peak and now they hated their brothers and neighbors so greatly ... that they killed them off in vengeance and now those who pushed the buttons will have to survive a horrible death -
But; Yahweh loves us so much he will send his son to roll the nuclear fall out like a scroll and men will hate this and some will be fearful ... but; Yahshua will return just the same and ALL WILL KEEP THE LAW OF YAHWEH - whether they want to or not ... and there will be peace.
It is your fault your prayers are not heard - not Yahweh's ...
For instance - have you been fasting since Sundown last night till sundown tonight???
No - well guess what? You are breaking the day of Atonement ... a sabbath day ... yes - it is today and you wonder why your prayers are not heard??? You cannot even put away food and drink from your mouth - or smoking and such ... to please your Creator for what he gave you the other 364 days of the year???
quit being selfish - if you want to be heard - check out the site I will leave you and know that Yahweh has placed his name in these last days in Abilene, Texas - and that is where you will keep the feasts of Yahweh ...
If you believe ...
believe it or don't -

Your " if then" logic is not valid. Just because He doesn't reveal Himself does not mean He doesn't exist. He already told you that no SIGN would be given to this evil generation. Nor does he want you to be eliminated in the lake of fire. But He will eliminate you if you won't repent. This is done only for the sake of the rest of His flock even though it grieves Him to do so.

Sorry to see your frustration and disappointment.
If looking for a lawnmower, one walks into a coffee shop ....he won't get what he's looking for.
You seem to have searched in the wrong place.
Did you know there is a counterfeit christianity.
Jesus said it would come to be.
Mattew 7:21.......................
The Apostle Peter said something similar: Acts 20:29.
Possibly, you've been in the wrong store.
What is the right store?
May I quote Matthew 7:13
"Broad and spacious is the road leading off into destruction, and MANY are the ones going in through it, whereas narrow is the gate and cramped the road leading off into life, and FEW are the ones finding it."
Don't look for anything of value in mainstream religions.
There is, however, a relatively small group out there .............

You are like a child going on vacation and you get to the end of your street and say, "Are we there yet? Why aren't we there yet? I don't believe Disney Land exists. Why did you pay all this money to go there when it doesn't exist?!"
God shows everyone who asks with a sincere heart that He is real. It's just that He does it His way in His time.

God is SO loving you just haven't found the ways... God does not take commands.... he has NEVER showed himself in any true form to anyone because we cannot yet behold the truth that is him... i mean think about it... he appeared to Moses as the burning bush... others saw him in dreams... and some just hear the voice... He has healed me... and I'm not lying... he pulled me away from so many things that i could not have quit on my own... Once his spirit takes you by the hand your life is full.... You have to be willing to sacrifice for him... willing to do his work.... Like Abraham was willing to sacrifice his ONLY son because God asked him to... it was merely a test of faith and Issac was not harmed, but he was willing...
