What makes your faith true?

[Godscreated]

The Bible gives clear criteria for demonstrating that your faith is true. Simply walk outside and tell the nearest tree to uproot itself and to jump into the nearest body of water. If it does as you have commanded it to do then your faith is true. Otherwise it's not.

Here's a clear example of a person who has no idea what the scriptures teach and one who desperately needs to study them.

I did not say you had mocked me in this thread but, you have in others and so I see the perfect setup in the question.

Well I'm going to try to be a perfect gentleman in this topic, so even other religious people can feel relaxed and participate.

I try to carryout His will but I'm not always successful which is one of many reasons I need His forgiveness.

I did not say you had mocked me in this thread but, you have in others and so I see the perfect setup in the question. Actually I've answered this in another thread sometime back of this, you wouldn't like my answer anyway and most of the atheist here who do mock the Christians do so because they do not like hearing the truth. It's not my fault that the unbelievers here have made the Christians wary of answering certain questions,

Interesting. Thanks for running with me on that. Okay, does it bother you that you'd do that? I mean does it disturb you that you'd be the kind of person that would do something you know is wrong just because God told you to do so?

You misunderstood and after I posted I thought it might appear as if I had answered your question, sorry. The statement was not intended as an answer to your question.
Let me give you a hint, compare the OT to the NT and you will see your question has no relevance.

Seems to me you're begging for an answer, why, to mock me, that's been what you do to me all the time. To prove what I'm saying is correct read your own post above you are begging because you know that's what it would take to get me to answer. I'm not playing your little game. Besides I do not do the pretend thing and you would know this if you had taken my posts with at least a grain of salt and tried to get to know me instead of blurting out a bunch of insults, so whether you are being honest or baiting me you've cried, "the sky is falling" to many times to either get your answer to actually understand or too mock me.

Thanks for calling him out, GC. I have a difficult time understanding some AF members.

Hi ChadWooters, I hadn't realized you changed your name. I'm tired of the things that happen here on occasion and felt like a little vent might help. I don't mean to be disrespectful to anyone though I'm sure it seems that way at times. I would have rather answered FM's question but I was mindful of the past with others and decided not to chance the possibility of the same old thing.

My faith, true? A level and plum bob. I can't afford those laser thingies.

All you need is a string and a heavy washer to make a plumb bob and a piece of clear flexible tubing and water will make an acceptable level. No need for the fancy stuff.

Are you, a self-professed believer, calling Jesus a liar?  

Luke 17:6 (TLB) = "The Lord replied, “If you had faith the size of a mustard seed, you could say to this mulberry tree, ‘Be uprooted and planted in the sea,’ and it would obey you."

You have zero faith, just like all of the other billions of people had zero faith for the past 2,000 years.  Jesus is sad.

Is there an example, in your opinion....of someone who doesn't.....?

Everyone needs to. If one chooses to argue against the Bible and doesn't study it should just keep quite.

So no, then, rendering your comment unremarkable and irrelevant...we all need to read your silly ass scriptures like we all need to breathe oxygen, in your opinion.



When gretel shut the oven on the jesus witch and saved her uncle it was my favorite part in the whole of the new testament....go ahead, criticise that in a relevant and non-pointless way.........

Jesus did not say we don't have faith it's that we need more to do the work He has for us. You also do not understand anything about Christianity, I do not need to move a tree or mountain to be a good Christian. Also Jesus was speaking specifically to the disciples, they were given special powers that were not transferable to others by the disciples.

So, like, they had superabilties-by-proxy to jesusman that wore off when he was no longer around?

Bummer.

(just a question, where do you get that from, that idea....a book in the bible...or.....?)

From the NT, you should read it someday you might not have to ask questions like this if you did. There powers went to the grave with them.

even when they were alive those 'powers' were ineffective against apostle Paul countermanding Jesus regarding observing the law
