Why do you believe?

[FutureAndAHope]

Second, your "scientifically documented cases" are not scientific at all. At their most basic level, they are Arguments from Ignorance/Incredulity. "We can't explain what happened, so instead of admitting that we don't know, we will posit a divine deity who did it." This is exactly what the ancients did when they saw lightening and heard thunder. "It must be Zeus!"

I hope you look with care at each thing I have provided. To see they are not thunder and lightning experiences, with out reason or meaning. Every miracle that I mentioned, was a direct answer to prayer, with a testable result.

Asking God to open up the whole bible to a single verse of my choosing, is a miracle, approximately a 1/54000 chance. It is not just I opened the bible and a verse "felt good", "made me believe", I asked specifically for a verse of scripture, and it opened to that verse, the verse I asked it to be opened to.

Or the story I told you about the man who had been stabled, God asked me audiably before I met him "How would "I" like to be stabbed". A day before I met the man God asked me a question about him.

God once told me a famous Australian would die (in a very vivid vision), Steve Erwin. He died shortly after. God has told me the future numerous times.

But the thing is you have to start with faith, I never saw a miracle until I actually performed them my self. The first healing I ever saw was one of my own prayers being answered. God wants us to respond to things people tell us. We all have choices to make in life, you choose to reason away my examples of answered prayer, and reports of the miraculous. Which for me to lie has no gain for me. I don't make a living from preaching to people, I have a job that I enjoy, and I have no desire to be a minister, so money is not my goal as is often the accusation. Surely there is no point in deceiving you into becoming a Christian. What would it gain me. Ask anybody who knows me, visit Christian sites I frequent like christianforums.com and you will see I don't teach give me cash, I don't manipulate the people I talk to, I try my best to build their lives up in God. If I am delusional and really believe in God, the bible tells me not to lie, so in fear of God I would not lie. I plead with you to not be hasty in your judgments, don't judge by the standards you are used to, think slowly and carefully about all I have showed you. And consider there may well be a God. Not a God of violence, hate and rage, but one who as the bible says "does not delight in the death of the wicked", "is long suffering not willing that any perish", that "God is Love", who teaches us to "Love your enemies and do good to those who hate you", if we are to love those who hate us, surely God loves those who hate him. You are probably not a God hater, just used to human ideas. Become used to God ideas, God is not in a box, he is not testable, but he is knowable. One thing you can be assured of if you become a Christian, and are genuine, you will experience God.

Amo 5:14 If you really want to live, you must stop doing wrong and start doing right. I, the LORD God All-Powerful, will then be on your side
