For the disguise, yes most likely I am referring to Satan. He is the greatest trickster. Trickery is his tool.


What if I told you that the Bible was merely a clever trick orchestrated by Satan to lead all men astray?

You would just know when its God. God can indeed talk to you through another person, you never know how God is going to use people. Now do not be funny, we all know trees cannot talk through people laugh.gif . For the disguise, yes most likely I am referring to Satan. He is the greatest trickster. Trickery is his tool.

I was a Christian for about 5 years, and not once did God communicate to me in ANY way. And trust me, I was looking for him.

Now I'm not saying I dont believe in God, because I do. But not the God the Bible refers to. What's the point in God talking to us? Out of curiosity, what has God said to you?

What exactly do you think Satan does? You seriously dont believe in him, and that he tries do decieve us... do you? blink.gif

God talk to us to instruct us, simple things like knowing from right or wrong. Have you ever walk down the street and the little voice or instincts told you maybe you want to turn right instead of keeping straight. You may not know why you decided to turn right. Maybe something happen up the street, you do not know.

What have God said to you? Well like the little example above, I had an experience likes that. I made a decision and did not know why and then I got home and turn on the news and find out there was a shootout. If I kept the direction I intended to go I may of got shot and killed.

Satan does a lot. He is the reason why you may not get along with some of your family. Satan starts wars. Satan is hate. I try not to have hate in my heart so you never hear me say I hate someone, maybe dislike. That's some things Satan does. Satan is busy guy, and I cannot name everything he does.


You never know how God is going to use you. Simple thing like complimenting them, and telling them they look nice. You may have stop them from committing suicide, you never know.

How about instead of just attacking Christians, make it a topic to prove each faiths God.

That was the original plan; make the question directed for theists. But at the time that I made the topic, there were some certain (not all) Christians around the Debate forum whom I was interested in how they would post.

And it all went as expected.

This is how I know God from imaginary.

God have numerous ways to speaking to you. He is you conscious. He is your instincts. He can be that little voice in your head. He can speak to you through another person. You would never know how he is going to come at you. All you have to do is listen and pay attention but it's easy to get caught up. It feels real, and you just know when it's him but watch out for the disguise.

But mostly it just feels right.


I think I read this on a Hallmark card once.

Meh God speaks to me through metaphysical thoughts. It's not an outside voice, not a person, nor an animal...

Prove that your god did any of those things, first of all.

Second, you're wrong about that one. My friend that only I can see (totally not imaginary, I dont care what everyone says) died on the cross, rose from the dead, promised me eternal life, answers my prayers AND can do the tango. TAKE THAT!


Jesus DID live on this earth, that is proven, even secular books say that Jesus was the "Father of Christianity"

It is proven that Jesus DID live on this earth and He did die.

The speculation is of course of did He rise?

Some speculate he never relaly died and he just opened the tomb.
-WRONG: listen, how could a man that had holes in his ankles and wrists and 39 lashes open up a tomb BY HIMSELF? Even if he wasn't hurt, how could he get out of the linen wrap around him and then open the tomb. A HUGE rock was around it. Even if He managed to do that, there were Roman Guards outside of it.

Some speculate that his disciples got him out.
-WRONG: okay again, there was a huge rock that covered the entrance and AGAIN, there were Roman guards with ACTUAL weapons with them, what would the disciples do, throw rocks at them????

Also, there have been accounts of people seeing Jesus after he died, around what 500 people?

How can you prove evolution then? There are absolutely no archelogical finds of bones that link us to them. And all of the finds that supposedly did were all found to be fakes.

http://www.kc-cofc.org/39th/Lectures/2001%...issingLinks.PDF

Walaa

Also scientist have been able to link that the Old Testament Bible WAS written in BC, before the Messiah actually came. Obviously the type of words and language they used gave it away.

To make it even clearer, Jesus fufilled ALL of those prophecys about the Messiah is AMAZING, and the New Testament and Old Testament have such devinity and harmonization together unlike many other books it is amazing how people cannot say there is no God. Also there are over 32,000 archealogical finds to back up the book.

If you wrote a book about yourself, saying you were the worst person who was ever to be born on this earth and that you were the most sinful bein alive,, wouldn't you get bad press and probably be looked down, even hated by many people,, even if you had or HADN'T signed your name on the cover of that book.

"A kingdom at war against itself will fall."

It has happened in families, in countries, and many other places.

I highly doubt Satan would write a book slandering himself,, for it would be putting himself at war with well... himself.

BUT.. i think that is a subject for another time.

----------------------

Fine, you say prove God isn't different from an imaginary friend.

Then:

Prove colors are real to someone who is blind.

They've never seen it, you can't touch colors and automatically be like "OH ITS BLUE" without looking, you can't smell colors, and the person can't see colors, the one sense they need to KNOW about colors.

**SIMPLE PONDERING**

Maybe all humans are missing the sense of God?
-just a question that popped into my mind-
