There is no evidence for God, so why do you believe?

[Clizby Wampuscat]

What do mean? I pray to God the Father and Jesus Christ who I know.

I am not sure how else to ask the question. A prayer to a god that does not exist or a prayer to a god that chooses not to grant the prayer have the exact same result. So I guess it comes down to why you believe a god exists?

When I got saved the covenant I made with God was to turn away from all sin and trust Him with my life. My life is not my own, He can do whatever He wants with me. He has made me an heir and adopted me, given me eternal life. So for God not to say yes and give me everything I ask in prayer can be hard sometimes because I don’t understand it at the time. The more life goes on and I continue to trust and seek Him the less I feel the need to get my own way.

Ok, but unanswered prayer is not good evidence of anything.

You choke on the Word of God because although you claim to know it better you demonstrate that you don’t even understand the milk let alone the meat of Scripture.

Now you are just being silly. Can you make serious posts for at least a little while?

That is no different from a belief in kissing Frank's donkey.

Every prayer gets answered but ok see why you asked now. What are you looking for, God to do what everyone asks, I would say this wouldn’t work out too well. Better is God’s plan and we join in with that.

Is that the serious you’re looking for? I answered correctly, You need milk

Are you familiar with Kiss Hank's donkey? Sorry about using the wrong name earlier. That may be what confused you.

Boy is Hank gonna be pissed at me.

If you can't be serious you cannot demand the same from others.

Why is it that when it comes to amputations the answer is always No?

 

[Subduction Zone]

For those that are unaware

Kissing Hank's donkey:

Spoiler

I don’t know if it is or not or why but It’s possible the only evidence of wounds anyone has in Heaven are on Jesus Christ.

Well I was serious:
“For when for the time ye ought to be teachers, ye have need that one teach you again which be the first principles of the oracles of God; and are become such as have need of milk, and not of strong meat.”
‭‭Hebrews‬ ‭5:12‬ ‭KJV‬‬

Was that an attempt at a serious answer?

Such a joker!

Utter gibberish?

 

[Sheldon]

Do you even know what it means to pray in Jesus name? You probably think it’s some phrase at the end of the prayer.

Read the quote, understand the context, and then if you have a relevant cogent response by all means post it. What you've posted is just more ad hominem.

To you but not to Bible students. Still wondering why you’re in this thread talking about God, I’m glad though.

 

[Sheldon]

Ok stick to the subject my student… What did I say, was it the prayer that delivered me or God?

You used a subjective anecdotal claim as if it were evidence for the claim, yet again, and your conclusion was a post hoc ergo propter hoc fallacy. You don't seem to have addressed either of those points unsurprisingly, and yet again.

You post Bible verses, but don’t believe the Bible or understand it but doesn’t bother me. Keep quoting Scripture though, I’m glad for that

I love this, so great
