No one has "personally" interviewed a god. Your version or any other version. If you are relying on the Bible as a credible source for proving a god exists, it is nothing more than a compilation of fables, that no one can verify. Now, faith is the belief in things not seen, but you contradict yourself in asking others for "proof" of other gods.

No one has proof, including you. If you believe, you do so because you wish to believe in the Bible's version of a god.

No one knows if a god exists or doesn't. You saying you have a personal relationship with him is how Christians "market" their faith. I guess saying "I talk to myself and assume that it's God answering me," probably wouldn't catch on. Saying an imaginary being is directing my life, yea...that's better.

The latter sounds just as ridiculous but ....

RE: What makes the Christian God different from thr thousands of other Gods out there?
Anybody who thinks they have communicated with a diety like Jehova has actually probably just misinterpurtted signs of the Aesir. Remember that Odin can assume the form of a Jehova like being. Remeber that Odin is the All-Father, and it is only his infinite wisdom of the future that he aquired at the cost of one eye that holds back ragnarok.

Jehova does not appear once in the sagas. That means he isn't real. The sagas are perfectly accurate and have never been proven wrong. There are no gods that are not in the sagas. The sagas hold knowledge that could only be known by the Aesir themselves. When science has tried to disprove the sagas it has failed miserably.

Let me put it this way: If we presuppose that the sagas are correct would you rather follow Thor and be brave and true and therefore at the end of all thinks be allowed to join the shieldwall and face Jorgundmr as a man or would you rather be devoured into oblivion before the final battle? If we presuppose that the Sagas are correct then not following the teachings of the Aesir is pure folly. Whats more, since we know that the teachings of the Aesir are true we know that we are making the right choice. The Aesir form the only coherent basis for morality and knowledge because we know that their writtings cannot be false.

Let me put it to you like this: What do you have to lose by not believing in the Aesir? If we are right and the Aesir are real then you earn an eternity of feasting in the hall of Odin before the opportunity to be a hero at the battle at the end of all things. If we are wrong then you lose nothing, but you will have still lived a good and noble life following the tennants of the Aesir.

To anyone who thinks they have had a divine encounter with the god of the isrealites: ask yourself could it not have just as easily been Odin who can assume all forms? Did he not tell you of his son who is the protector and savior of humanity? That must surely be Thor.

Please provide evidence for the existinance of the god of the isrealites becuase I have provided concrete evidence for the Aesir.
Companions the creator seeks, not corpses, not herds and believers. Fellow creators the creator seeks -- those who write new values on new tablets. Companions the creator seeks, and fellow harvesters; for everything about him is ripe for the harvest. - F. Nietzche

The best thing is that if you are wicked you go to Hel, which is ruled over by Hela:

She can torment me for a whole bunch of eternities.
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."

Wait a minute. We have to prove the existence of other gods to you before you'll believe in them? Yet, you expect everyone to believe in yours despite the fact that you refuse to prove its existence to us?

Your god gets your good faith, all others pay cash? How predictably hypocritical.

I heard somewhere that half of Hel's body was rotted and dead. Maybe not as sexy as the picture there.

Interviewing a god, that's funny yet ridiculous. A god would be doing the interviewing wouldn't it. However there's an exception, the one true God who accepts us just as we are and then begins to change us into what we were actually born to be. When one sees the changes and knows that only God could have made the changes in you, then you know that He is real.

Quote:No one has proof, including you. If you believe, you do so because you wish to believe in the Bible's version of a god.

I have plenty of proof, none that you would accept, but then who are you to tell me I do not know the things going on in my on life, it's to bad you left the church before discovering the true God and His words for life. The Bible was never written to prove the existence of God, where did you get that idea from?

I know God exists with no doubts, what makes you believe I can't know, because you failed at finding Him? That's a problem you have to live with, not me. I do not market my belief and knowledge of God, I witness to those who have questions, I do not force what I know on others, we were not called to do such a thing, we were called to live our belief. You seem to hold the belief because you failed to find God He's not real and that is an idea many have about God and many other things. Sorry but your failure is not evidence that I can't possibly know, I do 100%.

God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.

We always knew you were delusional, G-C. You don't have to prove it.

That's wonderful. So you should be able to easily provide evidence by walking outside of your house and telling the nearest tree to uproot itself. It should do as you command it to do without any extra mechanical help of any kind. And you should be able to lay your hands on the sick and injured and cure them with just your touch. If you can't do that then your belief is worthless because Jesus said that you could. Therefore he lied or else you lack faith. It's really that simple.
