Evidence for God from Science

Hi folks. I wanted to tell you I have finally had a 'break through'. Since I last posted, I did my usual sulking, 'giving up' on God, doing my own thing, praying to God again, and thus the cycle continued. The last few months though, I earnestly prayed for help and I started to going to a 'New Front...

Hi guys, I've been sulking the past week........ y[-( Thanks for the articles some of you provided. They do make much sense. I'd just like to comment on a few things Jac said: In the second place, even if no one could provide no good reason, you are still assuming omniscience, which is hardly approp...

I've suspended my unbelief many times and given the claims of the gospel the benefit of the doubt and so I've prayed to Jesus to 'come into my life' and 'to be real to me' many times. I've wanted it to be real and I've prayed for it to be real. I didn't tell you to suspend your unbelief, nor to giv...

Catherine, It seems to me you are only challenging biblical inerrancy. Now, I don't have a problem with the things you cite, as I think there are ready philosophical and theological answers (K just posted links to two very good articles I would strongly encourage you to read). But that aside, suppo...

I have thought deeply on this issue, and I conclude here that I believe when someone comes to Christ that such should be accompanied by a personal and immediate experience of God. This is what I've been trying to say and what I thought you were not saying, hence my frustration earlier. I can unders...

Re: God endorsement of Israel taking the lives of women and children in an enemy nation, it is interesting given our comforts in Western society that many within place themselves up on a pedestal to judge people in earlier times in different cultures living in a very different hostile environment. ...

I'm glad to have helped identify the problem . . . would you mind if I pressed a little further and suggested a potential solution? First, let me point out that the issue of your election is a theological one with which you needn't concern yourself. While there are plenty of Christians who may sadl...

Catherine, Glad someone was finally able to hit the nail on the head. I guess Jac isn't so bad after all. ;) (j/k Chris) I see two options open to you given the realisation that your desire to believe is affected by having too many doubts: 1) Seek out rational responses to the doubts you have surro...

The assurance you are looking for isn't going to be found in a feeling. It is going to be found in what you believe . It won't be found in what you want to believe. It won't be found in what you pretend like you believe. It won't be found in what you ought to believe. It will be found in the actual...

Jac, I've just been typing up a response to your post and have gone and 'lost' it. Darn computer! I'm off to work now, so I'll answer your post later, as you have made some very pertinent points...

Lord knows how and when it will hit you, Catherine, but search and my word you will find! Here's to you, and may it come soon. Thanks for your help Danny, I hope this will be the case. DannyM makes a true point — it takes time and when the Lord is ready — you'll know it. It sounds like to me that y...

What you said did 'get me down' I must admit. Yet again, I feel it's my fault that I don't have this assurance and that I must be understanding the scriptures incorrectly. Damn, I think I must have missed the nail. I'm not too sure what got you down with my words. :( I think you are understanding c...

Hey, that doesn't make me a weird recluse or anything- honest! When it comes to my interaction, I'm better off alone with the Lord. But I hope you see that I do not mean to decry or discourage the fellowship and the joy that people obviously do get from it. Different strokes 'n' all that ;) Hi Dann...

Hi Catherine Well after reading the posts I just wanted to say that when you don't have the feelings it does not matter as long as you got the faith, as your feelings will catch up with your faith. For example, when I got born again, i asked God to forgive me my sin and asked him to come and save a...

I think sometimes we are looking too much for a supernatural working, or revelation of the Holy Spirit, and fail to see His natural working. The Holy Spirit has been with us since Christ ascended. He bears witness with our spirit through truth, Scripture, people in our lives, and more often than no...
