Yahweh supposedly wants us all to come to him, but he's unwilling to actually do something for people outside the group to show he actually exists?Jesus tells us the evidence of God is not found without, but with in. He said all we need is the faith of a mustard seed and we will be able to move and obsticals even mountains of doubt.
Quote:Taking people's word for it, being testimony about prayers or words in a book, is just not convincing unless you actually grew up with it as a child. And children can be convinced of pretty much anything if you keep repeating something often enough. Or if you're in some other vulnerable state, like being a drug/alcohol addict, or are going to die soon.Actually everyone you just mentioned has something else in common given their situation or state. They all have access to that mustard seeds worth of faith.
Apart of what we are told to pray for in Luke 11 is the Holy Spirit. It is the Holy Spirit that brings the proof the moves mountains of doubt. But, again only if you have enough faith to simply A/S/K as we have been told.
Remember u are talking to atheists.. we dont believe ur book... sorry.. if u believe that theres a god.. can u define it?.. remember not the attributes. . It, itself.
