What makes your faith true?

Don't take offence at my innuendo

Make it a staring contest over a warm muffin and we've got a deal.

You have a deal.

Outlets, that's funny, sonny when they are in the wrong sedimentary layer something's bad wrong with the time line.

Citation required. An actual scientific one, not AiG.

Just because we share like genes that doesn't mean revolutions true.

You can't even spell evolution let alone understand it.
We share the exact same genetic code as all life on earth. Do you have a credible, evidence-based alternative?

Again there is no proof of evolution no matter what you call evidence.

Willful ignorance.

Now you are dictating what I can use for evidence while you claim the right to use what ever junk you want, actually you've shown no evidence you're just running off at the mouth.

You have not now, nor have you ever, provided any evidence.

Evidence is required to be objective. You really don't understand that, do you.

Really? For instance Jehovah's Witnesses are known worldwide for refusing to go to war and they see in the Bible that to properly serve Jesus is not to go to war:
https://www.jw.org/en/jehovahs-witnesses...go-to-war/

I did not know that about them but, they took the KJV and rewrote it to suit their desires. Apparently the did not like what God had to say so they changed it. They are considered a cult by most denominations and not a part of God's church.

I will not allow you to mock me over this and I'm not the only Christian who has responded to you in this manner in this thread

Well it is a logical question and I was wondering how you were coping personally with that. Or how do we know that Jesus wasn’t just a man who died like every other person?
Your answer is that you feel it, but that's a bad reason because for starters it leads you to believe Gandhi will burn in Hell along with Hitler and that sort of "feeling" approach to world is wrong. How comfortable would you be if you had a feeling-reliant surgeon who said, "No need for x-rays or blood tests, I know there is a tumor in your brain, so I'm going in. Thanks to feeling, I'm 100 percent certain that it's there." If faith and feelings are enough to declare that a god is real, then why not tumors too?


Oh and when it comes back that I should study the Bible more and probably start going to church and I will find Jesus. That Jesus will be revealed to me if I show faith in him, but it sounds a lot like trying to voluntarily induce a delusion. If I try my absolute best to believe in Zeus, would he become real too? If I attend ceremonies at a Hindu temple and pray to Hindu gods for a few years, might they become real to me too?

Sure if I took on some religion and chose to look only at the good parts and dismissed all the bad ones and left out all rationality to think that easily explainable phenomenons are signs from god I would start to believe that was a real and good god. But that is also a tactic that dictators use. They only allow good positive stuff to be written and said about them to create illusion they are really good and kind people, but when you look at the whole picture you see a monster.

Take simple reasoning like the prayer of a mother, spoken aloud or thought in silence, as she embraces her suffering and dying baby: "I beg you, God, save my baby. Please, God, don’t let her die." Prayer for the baby is the most innocent and worthy of rescue of anyone. It’s about as sincere and unselfish as any prayer could be. And Jesus said "And all things, whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive" and yet every hour thousand kids under age of 5 die in horrible torment.

After all that we discussed and this little bit of trash is all you wanted to say, absolutely amazing how small you are thinking. It shows me you were not interested in learning about what Christians believe you were only looking for another chance to mock Christianity.
You say I must not know the scriptures because I refuse to interpret a few passages and I did not because like others I saw your plan. Well you thought you were going to pull a fast one on me by insinuating that the Bible teaches we should seek wealth, googling up a few verses on the net showed your complete lack of biblical understanding on the subject. You were shown the truth of those verses through the use of biblical scriptures that were right under your nose, you fell into the trap so many do believing you have come up with some new idea of what the Bible considers okay, just like another pair in a different thread. You and them are blind biblically, people for a few thousand years have tried to do the same so you are not going to find anything that hasn't already been covered. You were shown the truth of those verses and you didn't even address them in your latest post, you ran from them like a frightened puppy. There's no need in replying to this post if you're looking for me to either read it or reply to it, l'm just not interested in hearing the same old tired crap that atheist use, nothing new at all, most of you sound like a broken record.

Pot, meet kettle.  As if the KJV was ever "god"s word.  You do know that the J doesn't stand for Jesus....right?

The KJV is as much God's word as anyother translation, we have better understanding of ancient Hebrew and Greek so the newer translations give us more exact wording.

It's interesting how all of that "better understanding" allows translators to identify and refine those portions of scripture which can be made to more closely conform to the current beliefs of whatever sectarian vision authorizes it, isn't it?  

I guess that's just another mystery of faith, god working in the world type stuff.

Maybe constantly re-editing "god's word" keeps them busy enough to where they don't have time to sit back and see what an exercise in religious masturbation it is.
