I mean 2000 years ago he sends down Jesus to do things which are just impossible, which pretty much proves Gods existance, but now we're meant to take it on faith that he exists, why couldnt he leave some ever lasting symbol that God exists, I mean if he can come back from the dead couldn't he write "God Exists," in 50 foot high flames in the side of a cliff? or something similar.

She is still doing it.
Several years ago I had an unusual experience concerning an uncle, a distant relative who lived over a thousand miles away.
While driving my car I suddenly felt the unmistakable presence of this relative that I hardly even knew. He was more like someone I had heard about than someone I knew. It was very strange; it felt as though I was momentarily lifted right out of my physical body. I seemed to be suspended somehow beyond space and time, bathed in a love so intense It felt like I could have just disappear into it at any moment if It would have let me. It only lasted for a few seconds, but it seemed to last forever at the same time. I realize how crazy this must sound. The experience was so strong that at first I was afraid I was loosing my grip on reality. I finally managed to chalk it up to an over active imagination.
Three days later I got a call from my aunt telling me that this uncle we are talking about had gone into a coma and died the day I had the experience. It felt like ice water had been poured down my back when she told me this. I had lost any real ideas of God or faith and had become somewhat of an atheist. Needless to say this experience caused me to rethink some of the conclusions I had come to.
I feel blessed to now understand that even in our darkest confusion something loves us so much that it went out of its way to assist me and bring me back to a state of absolute certainty about Gods love for us.
During the experience it seemed like there was a vast amount of information that I was somehow allowed access to. One thing that I came away from this experience understanding beyond any shadow of a doubt was that any Idea that God is unhappy with us or would judge or allow us to be punished for any reason is simply impossible.
I can’t explain the love I felt with words. They simply don’t make words big enough or complete enough to do this. The only way I can begin to convey this love to you is to say that there was simply nothing else there. Nothing but love. No hint of judgment, no displeasure of any sort. It is as though God sees us as being as perfect as we were the day we were created. It is only in our confused idea of ourselves that we seem to have changed.
I hope this is of some help to you. Good luck. Love and blessings.
Your brother don

Everyone's ignorant and that includes the non-believers. This debate is old, often with people bombarding big words to sound more intellectual. There's probably a very simple answer to your question(s). Unfortunately, I am not the one who will have that ability to prove everything in words. If you're that interested in religion and the supernatural, I'd advice you to speak with people who are supposedly "possessed" by demons etc, you know? that sorta thing? Cause apparently, the devil knows a lot more about the christian god than the claims of any christian or non-christian who speak about god like as though they just met him the other day for tea. Lastly, stop exaggerating, God is not going to put you in hell for using profanities or for having sex before marriage, because he also said that if you sincerely admit to your mistakes and sins, you will be forgiven. God does not kill, he punishes when the right time comes. Man, on the other hand, has that full ability to physically harm one another and man can also manipulate others for his own advantage. The end.

God never proved he existed because he does not. What you have in the bible is accounts written at least 60 years after Jesus lived written by people who had heard stories second hand and embellished them with what they thought Jesus might have said or done or what they would like him to have said or done. The bible only contains 4 such accounts which the early church leaders thought conveyed what they wanted to convey and the other 30 or so accounts some of which do not even mention the crucifixion the tried to suppress. If the words "God Exists" appeared in 50 foot high letters on the side of a cliff you can be sure it would be a trick done with laser beams or something similar

even back then, people didn't believe in jesus. some just blew him off as an evil magic worker or a false prophet or something, and others didn't care if he was the messiah or not. rather they just wnated his death
even if God wrote that, people still wouldn't believe because it's overwhelming.
my point is, there will always be people who don't believe. Giving us evidence of his proof would make life pointless, hell pointless, and heaven given to people who don't deserve it.
It's kind of like this. For a test, you don't take a piece of paper with written facts to get that A+. Rather you have to study hard, and through your work you deserve that A+

No matter what He did to prove His existence, people would still not believe. Do you really think that a flaming "God exists" sign would be proof? We would find a scientific way to explain it away. Or if He came down and spoke to us? We would all suddenly believe in aliens or find it to be a prank or find some way to explain it away. If He appeared to us in physical form...we would call Him a mad man. I can't think of a single way that He could prove to anyone that He is who He says He is without someone finding a way to "explain" it away. Even in the millennial kingdom, when Christ will rule the earth from Jerusalem there will be those that turn from Him, knowing full well Who He is!

The only reason Jesus came to earth over 2000 years ago was to correct Adams error. Jesus is called the second Adam. Through the act of Adam in the garden of Eden, he separated all mankind from God, because we all have Adam sin nature. When Satan tempted Jesus in the wilderness, the same way he tempted Eve in the garden, Jesus used the scriptures to fight off Satan. Now if Eve would have fight Satan with what God had commanded, we all would not be going through what we are going through now. As for faith. God is a Spirit, and spirit are illegal in this 3 dimensional realm, that is why Jesus had to be born, because the earth realm is created for humans not spirits even though Satan and his demons were cast down here on earth they are illegal here. And God has dealt to us all a measure of faith, because He said it is impossible to please God without faith, and For we walk by faith not by sight, and the just shall live by faith. Faith is believing something God has said to be true, and to excercise your faith is to act on what was said. And you use your faith everyday. Faith is like this: You have faith to know if you go to the store to shop, you have the money to pay for what you want or you would not go to the store, because you know you are not going to get it free. Faith is like the money you have, and the act of your faith is you went to the store. That is how faith works. And if God would have left a 50th foot high flaming anything you still would have to use your faith, to believe that it is true because you were not born when that flame was left, someone had to tell you that is why it is there.

Even though Jesus came down all the people wanted was signs. They didn't much care about the word of God. And some of these people he healed they cried out crucify him. If Jesus came down we would seek after signs to and still wouldnt believe God is real.

Even back then you needed faith to believe that Jesus was the Son of God. Yes he performed miracles all over...but many people didn't believe him still. Lots.
They called him a prophet and so on...but they didn't want to acknowledge him as the son. The very Son of God.
Just like it took faith back then...it takes faith now.
His word never changes.
God bless

Would be quite easy for God to prove that he exists.Instead of peasant children seeing visions all he has to do is grow back on,for example,a leg that a soldier in Iraq has lost fighting an illegal war at the behest of staunch Christians Bush and Blair.

There have always been gods, they exist in the minds of man. There were gods centuaries before christ and people made sacrificies to them. The christian god is only to the fore because of the romans who were good at fighting as with the islamic god. Bible stories are just stories.

Just because God sent Jesus doesnt mean that people believed he was sent from God and said "Oh, God exists!" People did and do deny that Jesus is proof that God exists.
There will come a time that no one will be able to deny the fact that God exists, but it wont be pleasant.
