The existence of god

fulfilment of his promises for following him.

Quote:My main concern is "is it something that can be shared with someone else in order for the belief to be upheld"?
it can be but on a ver diminutive level. like trying to share what the grand canyon is to a blind person. we can share just enough for people to follow God's instruction to find their own 'viewing of the grand canyon.'

Quote:My next concern is, if someone else agrees with your shared experience, is it due to an actual mutual experience or an immediate need for community?
In truth we experience God differently because we are not all the same members of the body. for instance a hand does not experience a loose gravel road like a foot does. the eye does not expereince a symphony as the ear does. while the may share the experience the level in which it can be experienced will differ from person to person.

Quote:I want to know how god can exists for some and not for others;
parable of the wheat and weeds explains this: God plants a field of pure wheat,an the night his emeny plants in his same field tares, tares look just like wheat except the grain is black and inedible. one can not tell a tare from wheat while growing. it is at harvest time (judgement) that wheat and weed are determined.
to answer your question directly "Why can God exist for some and not others?" Because not all of us are from God. not all of us are wheat. but again only Jesus can/will determine what is and is not 'wheat.'

Quote:my experience is that those who seek with an open mind shall find.  With an open mind, I can find anything; even the visible pink unicorn.  You don't see it? Guess your faith is not strong enough.
to the contrary... According Christ Himself only the smallest amount of faith is needed to summon God on His terms.

The true problem is none of you douche bags will ever to take the time to identify God according to who HE says he is. You all have a picture of God and what God is and is supposed to do. and it is so wrong your God prevents you from seeing or ever getting to know the god of the bible.

Quote:See.  That's why the "faith" argument doesn't work.
No. the faith arguement does not work because Jesus the Christ said it took very little faith "the faith of a child the faith of a mustard seed" to work.

Quote:It can be argued to encompass anything.

Faith is a mere excuse, not a worthy argument.  You want an argument for god, try harder.

Faith is not the answer.

nope faith is not. hard heart and pride is why most of you will never know God. you demand God persent
Himself the way you see him on his terms, but in reality what world leader would ever bend a knee to you and approach you on your terms? So then why demand God do the same?
