Where in The Bible does it say God is real?

Don't let anyone deceive you in any way, for that day will not come until the rebellion occurs and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the man doomed to destruction.

Some people hate mistakes so for the day to actually come the rebellion was allowed. If the rebellion did not happen the Great Book of the Bible would have nothing to do. Scripture would be understood at it's face value which is only skin deep but with the rebellion it had to come alive to defend The Truth. How many sides to God's Great Day? Only two. The Truth is God's side. The other side is for repressing the truth. It began right after the apostles died. It is written.

The quills were removed but she was groggy from the anesthesia and limping. My husband said she won't likely go back to bother that porcupine. I had my doubts and two days later she did it again. There have always been porcupine around here and I realized we were lucky she never had a meet up with one, until now and she's had two (so far). The reason why is the porcupine set up housekeeping in our yard. The second time was Saturday so my husband pulled out the quills. There was one big one under her tongue that we could not reach but it is gone now. I sure hope my husband is home the NEXT time it happens.

Now I wonder why she chooses to visit that guy again?

Adam's response was a lying response because it is written "Adam was not deceived".

Further to this point of Adam not being deceived... I have found 'parabasis' in Rom 5.15 which shows that Adam transgressed as the woman did. So if they both transgressed (which I suppose they did as they both broke the commandment) then how did he do it without being deceived and yet the woman was?

It appears that the woman's deceivement was because it was from another, but it was not deceiving when from Adam's woman. The woman is the feminine to the masculine, so would be seen as one, so no deceivement would be seen as they were one even though standing as two. It was the woman prostituting herself with others that led to it. (The tree is about procreation... they lowered themselves to the flesh.) The Greek 'apatao' means to 'delude'. The masculine was not deluded by his feminine counterpart, but rather just given it through trust. I suppose it shows early adultery.
As the two sides are one (feminine masculine) then there is no delusion or deceite. Only when we take into account another does that happen.

Human choice is accompanied by calculations. That is the kind of choice animals can not make.

Not every sin is evil. And not every evil thing is sin. So....what are you ASKING?

I shall share with you my inspiration because we are friends. The sin we are all born with that causes evil to ourselves and others is.........the human calculation mechanism is broken.

Sin exists because YHVH allows breakage.

A Time for Everything
3 There is a time for everything,
and a season for every activity under the heavens:
2 a time to be born and a time to die,
a time to plant and a time to uproot,
3 a time to kill and a time to heal,
a time to tear down and a time to build,
4 a time to weep and a time to laugh,
a time to mourn and a time to dance,
5 a time to scatter stones and a time to gather them,
a time to embrace and a time to refrain from embracing,
6 a time to search and a time to give up,
a time to keep and a time to throw away,
7 a time to tear and a time to mend,
a time to be silent and a time to speak,
8 a time to love and a time to hate,
a time for war and a time for peace.

Take a read sometime... it shows the fractal nature of God in science:

Impossible to MAKE God real? I find it hard to understand the question, but I'm going to take it literally here. If this wasn't the point of the question you were asking, then I apologize.

1. You can't prove that God isn't real, just as in the same way you can't prove a five-headed elephant isn't real.

2. It is improbable to make a "god" real because evidence for the existence of this presumably invisible God is lacking. Some people decide that this factor is irrelevant and some find it very relevant.

Even though I was raised by a Pentecostal minister and a Missionary I was totally convinced that there was no God; boy was I wrong. I called out God to show Himself if he was real. I then fell asleep and I then became a Christian. The key for me is that I was one-hundred percent serious when I made my request. "Blessed are the pure in heart for they shall see God" Being pure in heart is not some innate quality that I had. All it means is that I was serious or sincere in my request. If I tried to replicate this experience I would fail, because I probably would never be that sincere again; it was pure.

You seem to think that Christians are the only ones to experience this self-convincing. Muslims, Hinduists, Sikhs, those who follow the Baha'i Faith, etc.. all, apparently, "experience" this.
You may think it acceptable to babble nonsense to try and prove a point, but this certainly is not a reasonable, evidentiary claim for your deity.

No where. But what Jesus said was: if you obey what he instructs, then you shall know it is real

It is written in the Bible that God allegedly told Moses that he was real:

"And God said unto Moses, I AM THAT I AM: and he said, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, I AM hath sent me unto you." ~ Exodus 3:14

It's also written in the Bible that Jesus said:

"Very truly I tell you," Jesus answered, "before Abraham was born, I am!" ~ John 8:58

It's also written in the Bible that Jesus said he and God were one:

"I and the Father are one." ~ John 10:30

It's also written that Jesus stated he was not trying to overturn the old laws:

"Don't misunderstand why I have come. I did not come to abolish the law of Moses or the writings of the prophets. No, I came to accomplish their purpose." ~ Matthew 5:17

...

In review, the Bible claims that:

God declared to Moses "I am."
Jesus declared that before Abraham was born, "I am."
Jesus stated that he and God were one.

So. Did Jesus state that God is real? It appears that he not only affirmed that God is real, but that he was God. To disprove these conclusions, you'd probably need to demonstrate that "I Am" is not an affirmation of existence and that when Jesus stated he and God were "one" that he was somehow equivocating or speaking in parable.
