When someone prays to GOD for courage do you think he gives him courage or the opportunity to have courage, or when someone prays for patience does GOD give them patience or the opportunity to learn to be patient so maybe if you pray to GOD for faith GOD provides the opportunity to learn to have faith. I'm sorry, but I can't respond to this. My mother taught me that if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all. Seriously though, try not to insult my intelligence in the future. It wasn't for you ; I realised later it was for me ; it just didn't hit me at the time thats not to say there may not be something in it for you.

Well it depends what the stalker is doing or saying and then I would need to discern that with the help of the Holy Spirit and through the guidance of The Bible and the distilled wisdom of my church.

The cosmological argument are you serious!
Just stating that there was an uncaused first cause makes no sense.
It just pushes the question back to what caused the first cause or trying with no evidence to explain why the uncaused cause is excempt from having a cause.
It explains nothing so I reject it.

well it doesn't explain or prove anything but it does force some valid questions , can something exist without a cause? this does not in itself lead to God but it's interesting to explore where it leads.

There are two possibilities either things have always existed or they haven't.
Both these concepts boggle the mind but until there is some way prove one or the other then it is speculation and not something to base your life on.

If not god then where do you think it leads?
