That doesn't answer the question whatsoever.
If getting through hardships is proof that your beliefs are true, how come people that don't have your beliefs can do the same thing?
Again, the proof is what happens on the inside. The facts that these things happen are just the vessel in which the proof is transmitted.
In order for their to be belief on the internal change one must believe that the external events took place.

Christian false modesty= pride in God and what God has done, and humility about self and what the indivisual as accomplished under his own steam.
Christ, Paul, Peter all show this "Christian false modesty." I think I, in pretty good company.
Just FYI to all
The Orginal purpose for this blog was to help the church planers to come through the different subjects I have worked with and decide what could be shared with the new congergation they want me to work with. This will also be an open forum for anyone to ask and comment about. So no cherry picking as anyone can say anything.
