All that tells us is that you believed it's real, much like anyone from any other religion believes it's real.
I know the reality of the God of the Bible, He has proved Himself to me in unique ways, ways I know you want accept, but then they were meant for me.

I'm not stupid I know you don't, but what you believe doesn't change a thing, God is real. If they/you didn't have a problem then why would you even bother talking to Christians. Denial can be a powerful thing, something that usually leads to bad things no matter the subject. Besides not believing in something is still a belief system.

pt Wrote:Well yes things do change, but it's still not proof of anything outside your mind.
Prove it's just in my mind, this is a claim I here from atheist all the time and yet none have given an ounce of proof. Generally when a great change comes over someone there is someone behind that change.
Quote:I have and have had many show Rottweilers and I have never celebrated anything other than their performances in the ring, they couldn't care less about a birthday or any other day, but some do care about how they do in the ring, those are the very special ones that don't come along every day.
pt Wrote:No idea why you put that in ?
Read the OP, the clue is there. Besides I wasn't responding to you.
Quote:So you see I know God is real and my savior, I've seen His promises come to fruition and usually when I wasn't expecting it. By the way Christianity is not a feel good thing and we are not guaranteed a feel good life, things can get ever hard at times because it is real.
pt Wrote:It seems just like life because, well.. it is real life.
I want even bother trying to explain to you what hard things can come into a Christians life. I will say this to you, we have God almighty to lean on when troubles over whelm us.

God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.
