Prove that God exists.?

Question

I am willing to convert myself and others if you can prove God's existence. If you can not, then all of your Bible's ideas are false. Good luck.

Answer 1

If you look at the answers given so far you will probably draw the conclusion that god is just a pretend buddy. There is absolutely nothing in the previous answers that suggests that god actually exists outside the imagination of the religious people. There is absolutely nothing, scientifically that points to a possibility of a gods existence. The most popular "evidence" that people seem to bring up is 1) A piece of paper from bronze/middle ages written by people who believed in talking snakes and that bats are birds 2) Argumentum ad ignorantiam Everything that they are ignorant of how it works "must" be god (Even though they can't tell HOW god do everything),

Answer 2

Just a few notes before I say my answer:

1. Why did you capitalize the words hell and God if you do not believe in either?

2. I hate how every atheist asking to prove that God is real always mentions the Bible. Not everyone who believes in God is Christian!!!! For pete's sake, some are Jewish, and Muslim, etc.! Personally I am Jewish.



Anyways, here's my answer:



As Dumbledore from Harry Potter says after Malfoy Sr. asks him to "Prove it!": "Oh, no one will be able to do that."

The fact of the matter is, no one can prove there is a God. And that's precisely why some people don't believe in a God at all. God purposely made it this way. Even in the most spectacular miracles he provides something else for someone to doubt that it was from God.

But no atheist has ever answered this when I ask:

How can you prove there is NO God?

When you prove there is no God, I will prove that there is. Because even if you say, "There's no sign or proof that he is here," it still isn't proof enough. So just wait, and keep waiting, until the Messiah comes, and everyone on this Earth will understand that God is real, and the Jews are His treasured nation. Then you will beg and plead and claim that you were biding your time - that you believed the whole time.

And when that happens, I hope you remember this answer.

Answer 3

Kind sir ,u worded ur question erroneously . What you should have done is ask for evidence for his existence , and if you did my question is what kind if evidence would u deem as good , and if you say science my response would be that almost all sane humans believe things that they have no evidence for .



For instance we can't prove that the past wasn't created 5 minutes ago with the appearance of age can we ? But we accept these things as perfectly logical without science.



We can go in many different routes

First there is the first cause argument .



Second there is the empty tomb argument . The fact that it was the women that found the tomb first attests to the sincerity of what all the apostles believed that they saw. A belief that they willingly died for.



Next there is the shroud of turin which i have debated with 73 different atheists from yahoo answer by email and refuted very single one of them on it.



We can then look at the indirect evidence of an afterlife from Nde's and veridical so Nde's .



There is lots if evidence my friend .

If you are as sincere as you claim to be then u won't be as afraid as most atbeists are to send me an email at [e-mail]



But if you already made up ur mind u are like 95 % of atheist here .



Lets see how honest and truth seeking you really are ;)

Answer 4

If you look earnestly, trying not to apply bias, incredulity, or make massive leaps of faith, the two thousand year old doctrine can be reasonably paralleled with what is nowadays better explained by science - e.g. "Let there be light" is the Big Bang, yet somehow we hardly accept that people two millennia ago could have such an insight into the making of the universe - so really they've just accepted the primal origin in certain terms, preferring 'God' to 'mystery'..., and yet still mysteries about our origins remain with the likelihood they always will - for should the actual Creation event become viewable with no possible impediment to it's validity, and in seeing it as a time-lapse bringing the first instance of anything ever right up to present day rule out any other possible way it happened - there will still be what came before and gave rise to that instance of a thing what is the universe we are in - and if even it can be told, something had to precede it too - therefore there is always a 'Creator' - the real issue for most lapsing into non-belief is the 'made in His image' quote. Again though, we're talking about something written in another language two thousand years ago - the best interpretation could in fact be, "made to best exploit a niche in this [His Creation] environment", which equally applies to both the Adam & Eve natural state of instinctively living hand to mouth, moment to moment - and the self-aware state ejected from Eden to toil and make the earth benefit us only from the [hard earned] fruits of our labours...



There is a saying, "Time makes fools of us all", and the concept of God is at least devised to be elevated above this constraint, so whether you choose to believe in God, or just usefully apply what could only be wielded as God's Almighty power over Creation were it ever harnessed as a singular force - the answer is really in so many ways and means of an attitude towards existence.

The unique perspective every person has that makes them an individual occurring as a one-time singularity in the universe is something that only thrives in the right conditions, namely starting with fresh air, clean water, nourishing sustenance, sufficient heat, hygiene, etc. To move this mind and body through time is to meet with and contemplate the existence of God, to delve into mystery, to ask questions - but if you're asking for a one-stop shop, to dial in and get a bead on the Prime Mover, then it should not surprise you that many people openly refute it is possible, while others accept it without question and as some flirt with the possibilities like tourists pouring in ashore off a cruise ship to briefly sample the local wares and traditions.

Answer 5

if you are sincere and only you know that and IF you have looked at the Bible are you willing to try this. you say you are sincere so will you prove it just by googling a King James Bible. not altered words. Deuteronomy 11 v 12 note 24 hours and every day then go to Genesis 1 v 16 where you will notice last 5 words seem to have been added on. read agin without those 5 then re-read Deuteronomy. you like everyone see God each day/night. last Isaiah 43 v 10-13. and if you alter Do Not pray to Jesus but God.

Finally

It is not whether you believe in God that counts

But whether God believes in you. Amen. (so be it)

Answer 6

You are making it too easy for us....

Wow, where should I start cause there is so much that needs to be said, but really with one piece of evidence you should believe that God is real.... or do I have to write ten pages of facts, then will you believe. I think you don't really want to believe and that you are just playing your little games. That's what I believe. You should be asking who can prove that God does not exist because nobody has ever proved that even though there are uneducated people who would like you to believe that they have proven that God does not exist, with some little silly something.....

The Truth is that Jesus was the visible image of the invisible God... then their is the air which we breath but cannot see, just like God, well almost. I mean God to me is visible but oxygen is not but it is kind of close, can you see this or are you blind to it.

If you really and truly wanted to know more stuff on whether God is real or not, this is not uncommon because there was this day I was in the same boat and what I did was to start screaming at the top of my lungs, yelling at God if was actually there. I'm not gonna tell you rest because every story is kind of personal and confidential kind of thing, but my point is that if you really wanted to know God himself will show you and not my story. Like the Bible, if you get one that's easy for you to read, you can also start looking for some of the things that are in there, because the stories that are in there hold truth and the way I know this is when I start reading and learn about where the stories are from you can go online and search to see if there is anything there about that particular story in the Bible, and when you are serious enough, God will be so close to you and so real to you, that you will actually be able to talk and listen to him and he will make your belief in him so undeniable its not funny, and then he will be like your best friend always there to bail you out of problems and yelp you avoid bad things for you and to take you by the hand and to protect you.... It will blow your socks off dude.

Answer 7

Prove the physical universe exists. If you can't then materialism is false and everything is a projection or simulation. Good luck!



Of course if you want to argue the physical universe exists - even though you can't actually prove it then on what basis do are demand proof of anything outside the physical universe?



BTW, I am not interested in you converting, I am just pointing out the absurdity of your question.

Answer 8

Have you tried asking God? Sincerely? With a willing heart? God doesn't ask you to be perfect, only willing.....so, if you're asking me for proof, I can't give it to you ( at least not the proof you want).



I could claim to you that my biological dad is a funny, loving, caring person. I can tell you this all day long, but until you know my dad, my claims are pointless. If you are unwilling to meet my dad, or make the attempt to know him, then the discussion is also pointless. You have to find this out for yourself and stop putting demands on others. We're not God.



God will be found by anybody who seeks Him. His word and nature guarantee this. His word says nothing about making others prove He exists.

Answer 9

Forgiveness and un-forgiveness are not the same and yield different results, kindness and hatred are not the same, faithfulness and deception are not he same, virtue and sin are not the same, why? Why doesn't everything mix together, because God's design is specific and on purpose. Have you ever had an argument with someone and felt that spirit of anxiety inside, that's because we're not designed to hate one another, we're designed to love one another. Who we become is far more important than anything we've ever done, none of us deserve grace, it's a Free gift from God imparted through His Son Jesus called the Christ, who is pure true and holy, and exceeding willing and well able to wash away all of our hurts, pains and failures. Growth is a process, the worlds knowledge comes to a climax and an end, but the Word of God has no end because God is always growing us up into a life of victory. He wants to be intimately involved in every detail of your life. Not only that, 'loving God is the greatest fulfillment we could possibly know as human beings.' You can pull yourself away from the confusion of the world and have a real relationship with your source. Jesus said 'Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let it be afraid. JOHN 14:27 If it's science who quells your need for proof, take a look at what the human body does on a daily basis, can you turn an orange into blood your body can, or have a look at viruses, they're supposed to be dead, how can they be dead and moving, anomalies are present everywhere that doesn't mean we fall blindly into the final answer, God's spirit breaths life into all of us, it's like this if you harbor un-forgiveness or hate towards someone or something after a while you will no longer have the strength to rise in the morning, cause only God knows what life is and what life is supposed to be, when you hear the word eternal life in the Bible if that word 'eternal' only referred to duration that would be a curse for some, it's a certain kind of life, with a depth of meaning and purpose. There's difference between living and just existing.

Answer 10

Just because you think everything can be tested and verified by physical means doesn't mean it's false. Spiritual things cannot be tested on a physical level. If you want some evidence why don't you study up on the 1000's of manuscripts found on different continents from different people from different time periods. The Gospels were written by eyewitness accounts and were beaten and died for what they believed. There are also archeological things that have been found that correlate with what the Bible says. Pick your poison. Of course it's only up to you of the requirements you need to say that it is evidence.

Answer 11

Step 1:

Try to prove that God doesn't exist.



Step 2:

Realize that you can't prove or disprove the existence of God.



Step 3:

Keep on believing whatever you want to believe. Because that is what you were going to do anyway!

Answer 12

Not sure why you would want physical proof for the existence of a non-physical being. If I wanted to get philosophical on your ***, I would say God exists in the realm of Ideas, whereas we exist in the world of shadows, mere projections of the real world of Ideas (see Plato and his cave metaphor). When we talk about concepts such as the soul, heaven, angels, spirits, etc... it is erroneous to assume that these exist in our physical universe, which scientists are increasingly starting to realize is a holographic simulation of some sort, an illusion, most probably a three-dimensional projection of a two-dimensional base reality (a bit like holographic film, which creates a three-dimensional image when you shine light through it). Since this universe is an illusion, the base reality of which this is a bad copy (heaven, the kingdom of God) cannot be accessed through the tools of the five senses, of which scientific enquiry and scientific tools are merely an extension. In order to understand God and experience heaven you would have to use other senses, of whose existence you're mostly unaware. One of these is the energetic heart, which is a real sensory organ, forever unattainable to science but obviously existant to those that have ever felt love or hate towards another. Just taking the Heart, though there are other senses, even finer and subtler in nature, you should concentrate your attention there and see if you can start "seeing with your heart". Then you would know whether God is real or not, but don't expect to see him with any of your five physical senses.

Answer 13

the Bible provides compelling evidence that God exists. It encourages us to build faith in God, not by blindly believing religious assertions, but by using our “power of reason” and “mental perception.” (Romans 12:1; 1 John 5:20, footnote) Consider the following lines of reasoning based on the Bible:



The existence of an orderly universe containing life points to a Creator. The Bible says: “Of course, every house is constructed by someone, but the one who constructed all things is God.” (Hebrews 3:4) Although this logic is simple, many well-educated people find it to be powerful. *

As humans, we have an innate desire to understand the meaning and purpose of life, a type of hunger that can remain after our physical needs have been met. This is part of what the Bible calls our “spiritual need,” which includes the desire to know and worship God. (Matthew 5:3; Revelation 4:11) This spiritual need not only gives evidence that God exists but also indicates that he is a loving Creator who wants us to satisfy that need.—Matthew 4:4.

Detailed prophecies in the Bible were written centuries ahead of time and came true exactly as predicted. The accuracy and detail of those predictions strongly suggest that they came from a superhuman source.—2 Peter 1:21.

Planet Earth as seen from space

Bible writers had scientific knowledge that was beyond the understanding of their contemporaries. For example, in ancient times many peoples believed that the earth was supported by an animal, such as an elephant, a boar, or an ox. In contrast, the Bible says that God is “suspending the earth upon nothing.” (Job 26:7) Similarly, the Bible correctly describes the shape of the earth as a “sphere,” or “globe.” (Isaiah 40:22, footnote; Douay Version) Many people feel that the most reasonable explanation for such advanced understanding is that Bible writers received their information from God.



The Bible answers many difficult questions, the type of questions that when not satisfactorily answered can lead a person to atheism. For example: If God is loving and all-powerful, why is there suffering and evil in the world? Why is religion so often an influence for bad rather than for good?—Titus 1:16.

Answer 14

How do you account for everything you see in creation? Where did it come from? Where did the big bang come from if you believe in that? Where did the elements come from or theconditions come about to make existence possible on earth for mankind? There are numerous other proofs ["Evidence that Demands a Verdict" {several volumes), "More Than A Carpenter", "Reasons Skeptics Should Consider Christianity" by Josh McDowell, lectures & books by Dr. William Craig or Michael Horner, a number of creation lecture series by

Dr. Ham or by Dr. Kent Hovind] that I recommend you investigate if your query is genuine. I suspect that, like many people, you are simply making an excuse to not believe or even seek God out but only want an argument. Hebrews 11:6 "Without faith it is impossible to please God for he who comes to God must believe that exists and that He is a rewarder of those who earnestly seek Him." is an excellent passage. Let me remind you that:



1) God loves you (we don't initially love Him) & has a wonderful purpose for your life

(John 3:16, 10:10, Jeremiah 29:11)

2) Man is sinful & separated from God and cannot experience His love & forgiveness

(Romans 3:23, James 3:2)

3) Jesus died on the cross for all the sins of all mankind for all time

(1 Peter 3:18, 1 Timothy 2:5, Acts 4:12, 1 John 1:9)

4) YOU can know this Jesus personally as your Lord & Saviour by responding to His invitation to be

in your life (Revelations 3:20, John 1:12)



Hope this helps

Answer 15

This is probably late, as you have heard many reasons from many people, but please read through this whole thing.



1. Can you honestly think our world came about by chance? And even if it did, which is far unlikely, think of all the varieties of living, breathing, things in this world, with every possible amount of detail put into everything that moves. There is no way some random occurrence caused all this.



2. When the bible was written, scientific knowledge was virtually non existent. However several versus in the bible speak of things that we have come to know as 100 percent fact. Such as at the time people believed the world was flat, or standing on elephants, however the bible stated that the earth was round. Also, the bible describes the water system, perfectly. There are other examples as well.



3. In our world today, we see many things being propehized in the bible coming true today, especially the coming Armageddon, as we are in what the bible called, the pangs of distress.



I am a Jehovah Witness, if you truly do want to know more, than please, contact your local witnesses, and they would be happy to study the bible and answer, ALL your questions.

Answer 16

Yes, the Bible provides compelling evidence that God exists.

Answer 17

It's like writing a computer program. You write a bunch of codes but it won't work unless the codes are placed in the right order. It seems to me like there must of been something supernatural that wrote the code for everything we see and don't see today then placed it the the correct order for it all to function the way it does. To me this whole sin thing is pretty much us messing up the original code that "God" put in place "pretty much doing something we weren't made to do which then throws the entire program out of whack causing a chain reaction that slowly destroys the entire system the creator designed. For example. I don't believe God created sexual diseases. I believe He warned us not to do certain things because our bodies were originally designed to be with one person, and after messing around sexually with multiple partners our very own bodies get overwhelmed and creates these diseases. Ok well I didn't answer your question.

Answer 18

As I'm sure was already mentioned, the proof can stem from the complexity of life and the natural systems in our universe. From the simplest organisms to the intricacies of the human brain, there is evidence that an intelligent creator exists. As someone who personally has to have logical understanding of all that I can, I am not able to concoct a way that God doesn't exist. Thank you for your question.

Answer 19

If no one comes up with proof that will be proof he doesn't exist because everyone on Yahoo Q and A should be able to prove god exists and if they can't prove it, then he does not exist and this can be settled once and for all.

Finally, we can all go home now.

Answer 20

The Bible states: “Every house is built by someone, of course; but God built everything that exists.” (Hebrews 3:4, The Jerusalem Bible) Since any house, however simple, must have a builder, then the far more complex universe, along with the vast varieties of life on earth, must also have had a builder. And since we acknowledge the existence of humans who invented devices such as airplanes, televisions, and computers, should we not also acknowledge the existence of the One who gave humans the brain to make such things?

The Bible does, calling him “the true God, Jehovah, . . . the Creator of the heavens and the Grand One stretching them out; the One laying out the earth and its produce, the One giving breath to the people on it.” (Isaiah 42:5) The Bible rightly declares: “You are worthy, Jehovah, even our God, to receive the glory and the honor and the power, because you created all things, and because of your will they existed and were created.”—Revelation 4:11.

Yes, we can know that there is a God by the things he has made. “For [God’s] invisible qualities are clearly seen from the world’s creation onward, because they are perceived by the things [God] made.”—Romans 1:20.

Answer 21

I believe in God and honestly all these answers are bs. The reason I believe is because I simply can't believe something came from nothing. They say matter (or is it energy?) cannot be created or destroyed. So where did all this matter come from. I can't wrap my mind around how people think that all this just happened ya know? But then say even if it all did just happen where would people come in and all. Just don't make sense to me. It's not evidence or anything but that's just why I believe in a higher power.

Answer 22

Nobody can prove to you that God exists.

To know who God is you first need to know who you are.

God is something that you need to experience for yourself, reading about God and what he demands especially in the Bible can confuse you until you experience the unconditional Love in all its glory.

Only you can find this if you truly want to experience it, and that is not a cop out, but a fact.

In the very core of your being lies God, but so many people look outside to find the creator, and they will listen to others and keep searching, but when you know your own amazing being everything will come into place.

Answer 23

Creation exists. It is undeniable. It is common sense/obvious/no doubt about it and has a Creator. One would have to be completely stupid to believe that creation does not have a Creator. No life has ever just happened. I love science but it only proves what was already stated in the Bible. We can't take a dead non living thing and make something living. Any true unbeliever who desires knowledge would do as I did: find out what the God of the Bible says about you & what He wants? Compare anything you believe is inaccurate in the Bible with your own conclusions & with original text. DO NOT take the word of any religious. You won't find a religion in that Book that Jesus says is our salvation. Simple book really: did you see the end of Blood Diamond movie? The father says to his son: bad people made you do bad things but I know you are good, come home. I love you. Same as our Creator says to us: come home, I love you, I sent my Son Jesus to show you how much. Believe Him! it's easy

Answer 24

Sorry, but that totally lacks logic.

There can be no proof, either way.

To disprove God, one need to know everything.

A god that was within the grasp of a finite mind

would, self-evidently, not be God.

A god that was so understandable would not be

much of a god...why would you convert to that!!!

Try using the faculties you have; Newton, Kepler, Boyle

et al did just that and became convinced Christians

Answer 25

You cannot convert yourself. Nobody can. Only the Holy Spirit can bring you to repentance and saving faith, which is Christian conversion. But, to give you hope, here are the true-life experiences of two former atheists whom I personally know.



The young woman had been brought up in an atheistic household with no religious 'input' into her life, so perhaps she was moulded that way and had no choice but to become an atheist. Let's face it, the atheists on here accuse most Christians of having no real choice but to end up Christians because they were brought up with encouragement to be Christians. So, what's sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander.



Anyway, back to this university educated young lady. She started off in her chosen career, not ever thinking about God or religion, until one day when an incredible thing happened. Out of the blue, God made Himself known to her - in her thinking. He 'broke through' with a revelation of Himself that staggered her to her core. She was entirely compis mentis when it happened - she had not been on drugs. It was just a quiet but powerful intellectual awareness that neither she nor any other person had initiated. She became a Christian. She knew God was also calling her to change her career and she obeyed that direction. It wasn't what she wanted to do, but she retrained, started practicing. Oh, and she married an Episcopal priest. I first met her some years down the road when she shared my office one day per week. Lovely young woman.



The other person wasn't brought up atheistic, but he arrived at that conclusion, through his own powers of reasoning, as a young man. The same thing happened to him a few years later. Without warning, God just broke through into his realization. It was an overwhelming experience, which impacted him with the love of God in Christ. His heart melted. All resistance was broken. God was real, and God was Love! He became a Christian and although his wife wasn't, he has been a church elder for many years and works with a Christian charity that supports the weaker members of society. It's a huge organization, by the way, punching well above its weight in social services. He was my boss when I joined that group. A first class boss.



So, I just mention those two true-life experiences of former atheists to show how, when God takes the initiative, things happen. I'm not unduly concerned about atheists for that reason. If their hearts are sincere before God, and He calls them to faith, they will come to faith.

Answer 26

You can’t just have all these other answers to simply help you prove God’s existence. If you’re already asking this, you are already doubting yourself of even trying with genuine interest. Of course there will be doubt in your life right now. You have to experience it yourself to actually find God. Remember, not everything is just simply a coincidence. Everything happens for a reason. Know the signs that pop up. Maybe you’re too worked up that you’ve become blind in your senses to perceive what’s real.

Answer 27

Despite the obvious attempts at trolling for superiority, I would like to point out several flaws that actually prevent you from accepting the answer you swear you are looking for.



1) You equate 'God' as being found in a single book. Any such being can no more be found in a single book, understood through a single concept, or spoken to in a single language and be so encapsulated. That is not to say that any such being cannot be understood through Christianity or even Atheism (since it very much relies on the biases of the viewer in order to understand what they are experiencing) but partiality does not validate totality. In other words, God can still be a 'Christian' and still punish, be angry or rebuke the followers as such, especially if they do things like oppose science (see point 2.)



2) God understands what 2+2 equals. What I mean by this is that this entity undoubtedly understood things like mathematics and gravity, or science in general, before allowing the Big Bang to proceed. Again, A God that can 'create' a heliocentric universe is not bound to exclude the creation of churches or the concept of religious beliefs. And if you actually pay attention to Jesus' sermon about what he considers a proper follower, he uses meteorlogical, geological and architechtural imagery to very distinctly link true religious belief with sound scientific practice "Therefore, whoever hears these sayings of Mine, and does them, I will liken him to a wise man who build his house on the rock: and the rain descended, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house; and it did not fall, for it was founded on the rock." Strong foundation for the house: geology. Building a house: architecture. Shelter against the weather: meteorology. Those Christians (or any such religious institution) who oppose science are actually opposing the very foundation of the being they say they represent, and thus, if you have the 'eyes' to see them, see them for who they are.



3) The nature of free will. I don't need to prove to you or anyone that I exist (for example.) I do not require your approval to exist. As such, all such evidence that can be produced is irrelevant by nature because if you don't want to believe that I exist, no amount of proof will convince you otherwise. The nature of free will means that you are free to believe however you desire, including and up to the point where you deny reality itself. You don't want to believe in God in the same way Christians didn't want to believe in Copernicus's view that the Earth revolved around the sun. That is because the foundation of your belief is actually younger than the proof that would either confirm or deny it. In other words, the Earth was spinning around the sun long before any such religion evolved to the point where it could create the idea that it was the Earth that was the center of the universe and the sun revolved around it. The proof, such as it was, was there long before the idea was even created.



3) So why allow a sentient creature to have the ability to entertain an idea that is fundamentally false, such as that a being that preceeded it in both age and wisdom, does not exist? Several reasons. The first one is the destination is given. All false beliefs eventually fall away. Therefore, the question is never about convincing someone but exploring the journey that person takes between ignorance and enlightenment. Who you are is defined by what you do when you don't know. What do you do when you are confronted with a world you don't understand? Do you develop reason and intelligence in order to solve problems and create solutions? Do you deny reason and intelligence for as long as you can? Do you sit in a corner and cry about not being able to figure things out? The test isn't about the answers (those already exist) its about the revelation of character that you have yet to discover.

Answer 28

Lets define what we mean by God first before we attempt to qualify his existence. As far as I m aware the term God has different meanings for different cultures and religions which makes a single proof a little difficult.

Answer 29

The bible says: “His [God’s] invisible qualities are clearly seen from the world’s creation onward, because they are perceived by the things made, even his eternal power and Godship, so that they are inexcusable.” (Romans 1:20) The Creator left his imprint on his handiwork, as Paul pointed out. Let us take a closer look at Paul’s words. That evidence is all around us. It is not hidden in nature but is “clearly seen.” From the largest to the smallest, creation clearly reveals not only that there is a Creator but also that he has wonderful qualities. Does not the intelligent design so obvious in nature reveal to us God’s wisdom? Do not the starry heavens and the pounding surf reveal his power? Does not the variety of foods that delight our palate and the beauty of sunrises and sunsets reveal his love for mankind?—Psalm 104:24; Isaiah 40:26.



How plain is the evidence? It is so clear that those who do not see it and who thus refuse to believe in God “are inexcusable.” One scholar illustrates it this way: Imagine a driver who ignores a sign that says “Detour—Turn Left.” A police officer stops him and starts writing him a ticket. The driver tries to argue that he did not see the sign. But his words carry little weight because the sign is in plain view and there is nothing wrong with the driver’s vision. Besides, as a driver, the responsibility for seeing and heeding such signs is his. So it is with the evidence of God in nature. That “sign” is in plain view. As reasoning creatures, we are capable of seeing it. There is no excuse for ignoring it.

Answer 30

The existence of a paradox proves God's existence.

Answer 31

Good afternoon.



I will answer from my non-theistic Buddhist perspective. One can neither prove nor disprove the existence of a primary cause, i.e. god. The Buddha taught that an attempt to either prove or disprove such things is like Br'er Rabbit hitting the Tar-Baby; it is impossible and serves no useful purpose except to ensnare one in a pointless debate. Such a discussion in the Buddhist tradition "...is a thicket of views, a wilderness of views, a contortion of views, a writhing of views, a fetter of views. It is accompanied by suffering, distress, despair, and fever, and it does not lead to disenchantment, dispassion, cessation; to calm, direct knowledge, full awakening, Unbinding." (Majjhima Nikaya; The Aggi-Vacchagotta Sutta [MN 72]).



Believe in your belief since it is good for you. Others will believe in their belief; it is good for them. As long as a belief does not harm another, what difference does it make? That is all that matters.

Answer 32

As long as your an intelligent person, there's no way the Theists can prove the existence of a god!. There is just no evidence to support there claims, never has been, never will be!. However if your like them GULLIBLE, then you may fall into the religious trap!!.

Answer 33

Hmmm, so you've chosen the best answer but I still would like to give it a shot :)



Computers are complex objects, it needs complex elements to work- and it would be absurd to think that nobody created it.



How much more for a universe so complex and intelligent, a human made up of different intelligent systems that supports each other?



I can't really quote verses here cause you don't believe in the Bible, so I can just answer from experience.



I labeled myself as a christian for most of my life but I was mean, perverted, selfish, a thief, a liar...but you know, they're the smaller type of sins than the bigger ones (like I don't steal from banks, I only steal from my parents). I like living, and I wanted to be popular-that was my fuel, and every time I think of growing old/dying - I get devastated.



The thing is my eyes were opened to God's love, His love love that waited for the right time, that pursued us, that wanted to dwell with us, and that died for us.



And the thing about His love is that it's transforming. It's turned a psychotic man into a wise, God fearing man, a womanizing man who got caught into a sex scandal into a man who does not abstain himself from sex but into someone who truly loves God and loves obeying His words.



And I see Him working in me too, and that's the beautiful thing here: It's Love that is working, our finite minds and reasons may not be able to grasp the thought of a God, but that just makes Him more of a God.



I know that 'that's a stupid reason' but it's true (for me).



And the thing about this Earth is that it's not satisfying. I used to dream of travelling, becoming rich - but pff, we'll die anyway - then where would those go at the end? I gave up those dreams because there really is no point, it all fades.



I dream of serving other people with love instead, even if it won't give me as much money or happiness bc I won't be able to buy what I want - I still find joy in these things, and really, it's mainly bc Jesus served us.



Also, there are so much answers in God - how the world started and how it would end, and also why scary and stupid things are happening right now. But it's not only the answers: it's the love, grace, mercy, purpose, fulfillment, joy..etc - and loving Him is just so beautiful because His love is beautiful. Man, it's overwhelming and if you just open up to this, I swear, man.



Lastly, I am aware that there are a lot of 'Christians' who give Christianity a bad name and also make it looks stupid but the Bible says that men are known by their fruits (oops Bible ref), and wow, the Bible is actually so much wiser than I thought it was when I was only a Christian by school haha.



Have a happy day! Love you, man, with the unconditional love of God (weird for you to read but meh) - whatever you decide to follow :)

Answer 34

*Insert huge sigh here.* :-S



First off, your mind has already been made up. That much is obvious.



Second: what makes you think I believe in Christianity, or the Biblical god? I most certainly do not. There are plenty of other ways to connect with divinity, y'know..?



Third: there is no empirical evidence of any kind that could convince you. So if you're looking for God, (whatever you consider that to be), through empirical evidence alone, you are NOT going to find it. And you are not going to find it through logical thinking either, I can assure you.



If you really want to find it, you have to look inside yourself. It is always available to you, because it is already in you, and you're already a part of it. But... personally, I used to found it tricky to access it here in this profoundly limited, normal, waking state of consciousness.. It cancels out SO much information, you see! So many people are unable to experience the true nature of what they really are, because their brains keep on running this extremely powerful simulation, to keep them effective in their day-to-day lives. At the cost of anything else...



..So in my experience, you need to start cracking that simulation in order to get to the bottom of it. There are multiple ways to do it.. Taking a high dose of a psychedelic drug is perhaps the easiest, most surefire way to get there. And indeed, that was how I first went about it too. And it completely changed my life, and everything I thought I knew, for the better. <3



Later on, I have also been able to go places in my head using things like meditation, chanting, etc. But it takes more time and dedication. So at least personally, I found it very helpful to have this intense mystical experience through psychedelics first. Because it left quite a few permanent cracks in the simulation, making it easier to override it using other means later. And it left some kind of a road sign in my head, so that now I more easily know where to go. :)



These days, I find that my awareness has been permanently changed and expanded, so that I always perceive that love, and the connections between everything, even in my day-to-day life when I am perfectly sober, and not meditating. So I'm pretty damn happy about that! <3 ..But I can't really prove it to you, because it is my reality, and not yours. Because these things are available through certain brain states, and you cannot possibly transfer brain states to other people.. At least not with our current technological limitations. ;-P



There you go... Feel free to dismiss me as crazy if you wish. I don't really care. :)

Answer 35

People answering this, this is stupid. I will paraphrase this because I can't believe no one has done it yet. Like Paul and Peter wrote, "Don't get yourself into useless arguments that destroy the beliefs of yourselves and true believers. Just tell the gospel and go, but don't waste your day arguing about it." Christ was created, became a eternal high priest to God, died for your sins on the cross, and resurrected for you. He is coming back, soon, very, very, soon. I don't know how soon, but soon enough. Without faith none of this matters. By all means explain these videos, that are "unexplainable" by terms of science to me. They are not hoaxes and one is even an archaeological site that I know is real that you can go visit in the real world, so by all means.

1. Unexplained 1-www.youtube.com/watch?v=K-eSRcr9CWw

God is real, if you simply read or watch those. Plus, explain a black hole 12 billon times our sun, which the sun in our solar system is 10 times the size of Jupiter. By all means explain, you can't, because there has to be God, plain and simple. Argument over. Thank you, blessed ay, and blessed good night.

Answer 36

God doesn't exist physically, he is a belief within us all that believe. Nobody can 'prove he exists'.

Answer 37

The Metaphysical argument has been around since the 17th century, Its just as valid today as it was then. No logical person denies an intelligent 1st Cause.



The evidence is overwhelming. Only the uneducated deny God. The belief in God requires no faith, only the ability to follow a logical trail to a conclusion.

Answer 38

I cannot prove God exists because there is no demonstrable evidence for it, which is why I do not believe God exists

Answer 39

If you want to be a Christian, you don't need to have proof that God exists, believe me I am a Christian so I know what I'm talking about. The proof is the Bible and your mind. If you belive you can belive in God, do it

Answer 40

and prove me that you are crazy and haven t got a mind cause no one knows where is the mind yes there is a brain but where is the mind can you tell me where its location cause no one knows my friend its the same for god you don t know where he is but he does exist and he is everywhere if you really want to know about god as a very easy simple way search for him in islam the religion where you could find all you answers. and thank you for reading and may allah be with you.

Answer 41

You cannot prove that God exists because she doesn't !!! Man created God as a way to explain how the world got here !!!! God is an asshole if she is there !!!! She allows women to be raped ; people to die of starvation ; wars to continue & all the other sh*t to happen !!

Answer 42

Prove: God = Existence



Using a few basic definitions:



God = ((a + b) / (a - b)) x (2.6 x 10 ^ 44) + b / 6



Exists = 2.6 x 10 ^ 44



a = Jesus = 1 (using Boolean logic since true = 1 and Jesus is the truth)

b = Satan = 0 (since Satan is a zero)



God = ((1 + 0) / (1 - 0)) x (2.6 x 10 ^ 44) + 0 / 6



= (1 / 1) x (2.6 x 10 ^ 44) + 0



= 2.6 x 10 ^ 44



= Existence



Q.E.D

Answer 43

Yes God Is Real. All of us when we speak are gods. When you say I am going to do this and you do you are god. When you say I can't do this you are god. God himself said we are Gods and the word of God cannot be broken. We speak good good happens when we speak evil evil happens.

I can prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that God (I AM THAT I AM) is alive and his Word (Jesus Christ) is alive and cannot be broken. God created everything that is created including demonic forces. We as humans have free will to believe or disbelieve in God. God will not make any of us believe in him. satan, lucifer, anti-Christ, the devil and his legions already have lost their free-will and do believe and obey God's Word (Jesus Christ).

That is why all demonic forces obey Jesus Christ. All of us that say satan get thee hence it is written you shall obey every Word (Jesus Christ) of the Lord your God. satan and every demonic force in the universe will immediately leave. We can also bind these evil spirits by agreeing with 3. Father, The Son, and The Holy Ghost, I will prove God's Word will work right this minute. I make an agreement that every demonic force hold your peace get thee behind and make no cursings to my Father nor hateful false remarks. To this written Word. The word of God cannot be broken.

Proof will be no demonic force in all the world, heavens, or universe will disobey these Words, I bind this in the earth and loose it in the heavens.

This is proof God is real, Alive and protecting all that call upon the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost.

Answer 44

God is God all by Himself and need no one to believe in Him! That's your choice to believe, or not to believe! He has the first and last word.

You know that humans did not create earth, the sky, seas, air, gravity, germination in the ground, us floating in space on an invisible axis! We being 3rd from the sun, where we are not too hot, and not too far away from it, is not our doing! We would freeze to death. Who is keeping the earth afloat in space? God Is the Creator of all things and it will start and end His way! (Colossians 1:16-18)....ain't nobody staying here, as The Word of God says! (Revelations 21 & 22):....choose well, cause this is the only life you get to choose which way you going!

Answer 45

If I can not prove it, you miss out. What kind of incentive is that? Why not just have a little respect for others. Take the cotton out of your ears and put it in your mouth. You can believe what you want. We don't require you to believe in God, but you have to act rationally.

Answer 46

St Augustine the theologian of all times, have a story to tell in search of God the holy Trinity: he saw a boy in the seashore scooping water to 3 little pond; He ask what the boy is doing: He answered he is taking the ocean water into the 3 pool. At the 3rd scope the back and fins of ocean mammals showed up and St Augustine kneel down and glorify, the boy Jesus.

Answer 47

Do you think that anyone can prove anything ? and that goes for you can you prove that Christians will die happier more fulfilled lives than those that spend their life looking forward to a dark muddy hole and messing with the Christians on Yahoo answers. Oh and research does actually prove that

Answer 48

Science itself proves Jehovah exists in a number of areas:



1.)Energy cannot be destroyed, just transferred. It's infinite as well, but only once it's produced in the first place. Jehovah is the source of that energy that exists in all things in nature and the universe. (Rev.4:11)



2.)Everything in nature and the universe is either born or made, ranging from living things to the countless number of mankind's inventions. (Heb.3:4) Nothing appears from nowhere, nor can it be scientifically proven that such a thing occurs in nature or the universe.



3.)The law of dynamics in regards to entropy shows that after something is made, it begins to die. If humans were the product of evolution, we shouldn't have shorter lifespans than other 'lower life forms', such as animals or even plants and fungi that can live for hundreds of years.



4.)If everything in nature is made or born, that would mean someone created all things beyond the reach of man. In order for such a feat to have been accomplished, a being of supreme intelligence, power and longevity would have to be responsible. In the very LEAST this individual would have to be considered god-LIKE, so the possibility of Jehovah being that individual is warranted.

Answer 49

You cannot prove such as god exists since in the first place humanity has such a limited vision of all that is "out there" so to say.

We will soon enough open up to new vistas of the universe that have been invisible before. this we call etheric vision and the young children are now being born with this natural faculty apparent. We are etheric beings since we are all part of the etheric logos of earth and yet we see Him not as yet. Only those advanced beings who are "old souls" may be able to see God of this earth. Om Shantih.

Answer 50

There is not even a slight bit of evidence to indicate god. None, period.

I have been asking them to provide anything convincing about god.

And they do. Christians have totally convinced me that no god is possible.

They show this every day by their actions, and hateful words.

Religion inspires hatred every where it goes.

That alone is reason enough to reject it as harmful.



edit: you see, you get thumbs down for asking, never any information. Some coward will post behind the blue thing, so they can hide from the lies they tell. IF there were a god, we would know it, no discussions like this would ever take place.

Answer 51

Remove satans scales from your eyes and look all around you at the things that God has made. Evidence: The Bible, Prayer, Blessings Miracles, Healings, Churches, Billions of Christians, Good and Evil, Heaven and hell, Angels and demons, Truth and lies, Jesus and his resurrection, Fruits ofthe spirit, founding fathers were Christians, Humans all different, plants, animals all so complex

Answer 52

Lucky for you that your Father commented so you can select the response you wanted anyway???? But for those who are serious about proving that God is real and serious about what and who he is: Test God for and in your own life. Go through the steps that God recommends if you are serious about the truth of God. Repent, believe in sincerity, read, study, and learn. Then when you notice your life-changing results that you cannot deny, YOU decide for yourself if you want to continue to believe. And if you're still not convinced that God is there for you and guiding your direction. LEAVE his side. Leave his Word. And take note if your life is still progressing or regressing.....God will accept you at any time you're willing to concede but you only have until your last day of breath to decide....So choose wisely...Note: You don't want to know my results...You would have stopped wasting your breath and time here a long time ago had you asked long before.

Answer 53

I cannot and if I could I would not . You don't believe, fine! No one can make anyone believe in God. Only God can do this. He has to change the persons heart and give them kiterally a new soul. Now, can anyone on yahoo do this? No way!!!!

Answer 54

If god exists then where is the need of the bible? Or then they will tell you because of your sin thus you will not see god. Or the bible is inspired by god. It is all about playing of the words or tautology. The only thing is there never will be proof and the lie lives on.

Is the Bible true is Jesus the Christ?



Daniel said he had a vision that the anointed one would come after they rebuild Jerusalem and then the city and the Temple would be destroyed



Did it happen? Is it recorded in the jewish writing as in the bible? They answer is all true





http://www.google.com/url…



Compared it to history the jews would of done anything to prevent the temple from being destroyed by it was God's will for it to happen



Daniel 9

Seventy ‘sevens’[c] are decreed for your people and your holy city to finish[d] transgression, to put an end to sin, to atone for wickedness, to bring in everlasting righteousness, to seal up vision and prophecy and to anoint the Most Holy Place.[e]



25 “Know and understand this: From the time the word goes out to restore and rebuild Jerusalem until the Anointed One,[f] the ruler, comes, there will be seven ‘sevens,’ and sixty-two ‘sevens.’ It will be rebuilt with streets and a trench, but in times of trouble. 26 After the sixty-two ‘sevens,’ the Anointed One will be put to death and will have nothing.[g] The people of the ruler who will come will destroy the city and the sanctuary. The end will come like a flood: War will continue until the end, and desolations have been decreed. 27 He will confirm a covenant with many for one ‘seven.’[h] In the middle of the ‘seven’[i] he will put an end to sacrifice and offering. And at the temple[j] he will set up an abomination that causes desolation, until the end that is decreed is poured out on him.[k]”[l]

Answer 56

The Bible is the proof. How many other books in history dared to make such detailed prophecies far in advance and for every single one of those prophecies that has so far come to pass, has come to pass exactly as predicted often thousands of years in advance? Absolutely none. The probability of man being able to make such detailed prophecies about future world events are so unlikely it is completely impossible. The only logical conclusion you can draw is that the Bible is the truth and the Word of God revealed to man, and that God is revealing himself to us in the text and showing that he is there, he loves us and has a plan for our salvation.

Answer 57

Secular evolutionary theorists must deny the earth is only a few thousand years old because their mythology requires them to deny a real God by avoiding any dating techniques to the contrary. After they're burning in hell they will know better but for now we must deal with their bogus religion.

Answer 58

Are you alive? If so what roll did science play in creating life? Don't get me wrong. Science has contributed much to mankind but it never has and never will create physical or spiritual life. The Bible teaches that there are only two kinds of people in the world; Those who are saved, and those who are lost. There are those who walk in the light and those who walk in darkness. When a person is saved, the Holy Spirit gives light to see and understand God in ways that a person who is lost simply cannot. It is not that the Christian is a better person in and of himself than the lost person. He is a new creation with the Holy Spirit now living inside of him. This is a perplexing thing to the lost person, who does not understand the things of the Spirit. He is simply not able because the Spirit has not yet opened his eyes. He is literally walking in spiritual darkness. Which of these best describes you? God bless.

Answer 59

Let us take it from Charles Darwin himself. He said: "I have never been an atheist." Or maybe Max Planx saying: "“All matter originates and exists only by virtue of a force... We must assume behind this force the existence of a conscious and intelligent Mind. This Mind is the matrix of all matter.”

Answer 60

Why are Atheists always asking others for proof when the can get it for themselves, it makes no sense? Its simple enough, sincerely pray to a God you do not believe in for something reasonable and not physical, such as money, and you will have your proof not all that long after!

Answer 61

Stop looking at God in form like a Human and you may find God. Forget every single lie you were told on this earth about what humans call GOD. Forget your religion, what you heard at church, what your parents taught you, what you read in the bible. Forget and remember. You already know.

Answer 62

There is no evidence, whatsoever, that gods exist. Every god... of the thousands upon thousands that humans have created... can be shown to be a mythological or literary character invented by the people who worshiped it. (And, not coincidentally, having very much the same characteristics, desires, and values as they did.)

Answer 63

i cannot prove to people, anywhere, where they are brain washed to believe a lie. but i can say that i stood in the presense of Jesus, i had 3 visions of jesus, and more, and had the visitation of an angelic like personage. I KNOW there is a God from these eperiences alone! see Rev 12:6 it says that we overcome the "beast" by the blood of Jesus and by our testimonies. anyone that teaches that testimony should be kept to oneself is a false teacher. testimony however is sacred and we should not throw pearls to swine. but as one who was judged by men to be swine i protest that not everyone that is alive is a swine. that said God is real, and gave me visions as though i were blessed to be a true witness and one that is not as a swine.

Answer 64

truth is neither evolution nor the existence of God can be fully proven. what one must do is evaluate all the evidence we have on both. of course the existence of God coming from Scripture. i think if you were to study the Scripture you would see an overwhelming evidence of God. mathematically evolution is impossible. but them are our only two choices.

Answer 65

God exists, because we can see His wisdom in His creation. Our body is very complicated.



For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes, His eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly seen, being understood through what has been made, so that they are without excuse. 21 For even though they knew God, they did not [n]honor Him as God or give thanks, but they became futile in their speculations, and their foolish heart was darkened.



Bible



Without faith, it is impossible to please God.

Answer 66

"For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:"- The Word of God. Naturalism is the false religion of this is all that is material. However, you know better everytime you make a choice you show freewill and disprove evolution. Love, compassion, etc. "But if from thence thou shalt seek the LORD thy God, thou shalt find [him], if thou seek him with all thy heart and with all thy soul."-The Word of God. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZHQYj3xfo9w and so on. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XMnSzTwVxFg There is an abundance of evidence, I can't put it all here, from Bible cities and people shown to even nations like egypt so much proof. And the thousands of years of testimony!!!

< false. Good luck.>>



No. . . . . I could hit you over the head with the proverbial 2x4 of evidence (concerning ANYTHING, not just God), just because you're presented with "proof" doesn't mean you're going to CHOOSE to believe it!



See my point?

Your "argument" assumes that those who believe:

1) have been presented with some sort of evidence,

and thus

2) have no choice but to believe.



Both those assumptions are inherently false.



Truth be told, God exists, regardless of evidence or lack thereof, some people are going to choose to believe, and some people are going to choose not to.



This is less about being presented with evidence, and more about your willingness - or lack thereof - to FREELY CHOOSE to believe in spite of said evidence.





< else for answering.>>



What exactly constitutes "proof" in your little world?



The other problem with the "proof" argument is that my idea of "proof" and yours almost certainly constitute two different things entirely.

Answer 86

easy, if you accept the original-premise that the 'god' exists, then everything in the bible is true. if you do not accept this premise, then the bible is not true. it is a form of gestating, where the way in which you define the true entity of your own life, is the way that you find closure in your life.

or,to state or assume a premise.

Well you asked for it...



“The best data we have (concerning the Big Bang) are exactly what I would have predicted, had I nothing to go on but the five books of Moses, the Psalms, the Bible as a whole.”

–Arno Penzias, the 1978 Nobel Prize recipient in physics



“I think only an idiot can be an atheist. We must admit that there exists an incomprehensible power or force with limitless foresight and knowledge that started the whole universe going in the first place.”

–Christian Anfinsen, winner of the 1972 Nobel Prize in Chemistry



“The Big Bang ripples and subsequent scientific findings are clearly pointing to an ex nihilo creation consistent with the first few verses of the book of Genesis.”

–Quantum chemist Henry F. Schaefer III, five time nominee for the Nobel Prize.



“There are good reasons to believe in God, including the existence of mathematical principles and order in creation. They are positive reasons, based on knowledge, rather than default assumptions based on a temporary lack of knowledge.”

–Geneticist Francis Collins, the leader of the Human Genome Project and currently the director of the National Institutes of Health in the United States.



“A common sense interpretation of the facts suggests that a superintellect has monkeyed with physics, as well as with chemistry and biology, and that there are no blind forces worth speaking about in nature. The numbers one calculates from the facts seem to me so overwhelming as to put this conclusion almost beyond question.”

–Cambridge University astrophysicist and mathematician Fred Hoyle.



“Here is the cosmological proof of the existence of God – the design argument of Paley – updated and refurbished. The fine tuning of the universe provides prima facie evidence of deistic design. Many scientists, when they admit their views, incline toward the teleological or design argument.”

–Cosmologist and astronomer Edward Robert Harrison



“God created the universe out of nothing in an act which also brought time into existence. Recent discoveries, such as observations supporting the Big Bang and similar astronomical phenomena, are wholly compatible with this view.”

–Henry Margenau, Yale University Professor of Physics and Natural Philosophy.



“God is a mathematician of a very high order and He used advanced mathematics in constructing the universe.”

–Nobel Prize winning physicist Paul A. M. Dirac, who made crucial early contributions to both quantum mechanics and quantum electrodynamics.



“The ghostly presence of virtual particles defies rational common sense and is nonintuitive for those unacquainted with physics. Religious belief in God, and Christian belief that God became Man around two thousand years ago, may seem strange to common-sense thinking. But when the most elementary physical things behave in this way, we should be prepared to accept that the deepest aspects of our existence go beyond our common-sense intuitions.”

–Nobel Prize winning physicist Tony Hewish.



“Astronomers who do not draw theistic or deistic conclusions are becoming rare, and even the few dissenters hint that the tide is against them. Geoffrey Burbidge, of the University of California at San Diego, complains that his fellow astronomers are rushing off to join ‘the First Church of Christ of the Big Bang.’”

–Astrophysicist Hugh Ross



“When I began my career as a cosmologist some twenty years ago, I was a convinced atheist. I never in my wildest dreams imagined that one day I would be writing a book purporting to show that the central claims of Judeo-Christian theology are in fact true, that these claims are straightforward deductions of the laws of physics as we now understand them. I have been forced into these conclusions by the inexorable logic of my own special branch of physics... From the perspective of the latest physical theories, Christianity is not a mere religion, but an experimentally testable science.”

–Professor of Mathematical Physics Frank Tippler

Answer 101

you believing that nothing exploded and that explosions produce order instead of what God has plainly shown everyone does not make the bible false

what makes Atheism true?

Answer 102

You need to read your bible and you need to pray and be dedicated, & put all your effort in trying to build an unbreakable relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ

Answer 103

Honestly? That is your job to 1st have a sincere desire, have your own faith and seek & find God for yourself. No one can CONVINCE you of His reality.

Otherwise it is just words. Faith is about what is in our heart and applying spiritual principles that lead us to our own witness & testimony that He lives, that He loves us and once we have that born to our hearts - there is no convincing us otherwise.

Answer 111

Answer 112

“All those who were rightly disposed ((having a specified attitude to or toward.)) for everlasting life became believers.”—ACTS 13:48.

JEHOVAH GOD can read the heart. This was made clear when the prophet Samuel went to anoint a son of Jesse as king of Israel. Upon seeing Eliab, Samuel “at once said: ‘Surely his anointed one is before Jehovah.’ But Jehovah said to Samuel: ‘Do not look at his appearance and at the height of his stature, for I have rejected him. For not the way man sees is the way God sees, because mere man sees what appears to the eyes; but as for Jehovah, he sees what the heart is.’” Accordingly, Samuel was directed to anoint David, who proved ‘agreeable to God’s heart.’—1 Samuel 13:13, 14; 16:4-13. A person displays a certain dominant attitude. He has a particular disposition that is rooted in his figurative ((departing from a literal used of words metaphorical)) heart. (Matthew 12:34, 35; 15:18-20) Thus, we read of a person whose “heart is disposed to fight.” (Psalm 55:21) We are told that “anyone disposed to rage has many a transgression.” And we read: “There exist companions disposed to break one another to pieces, but there exists a friend sticking closer than a brother.” (Proverbs 18:24; 29:22) Happily, many prove to be like some Gentiles in ancient Antioch in Pisidia. Upon hearing about Jehovah’s provision for salvation, “they began to rejoice and to glorify the word of Jehovah, and all those who were rightly disposed for everlasting life became believers.”—Acts 13:44-48. Those believers in Antioch became baptized Christians, and the faithful among them could apply to themselves Jesus’ words: “Happy are the pure in heart, since they will see God.” (Matthew 5:8) The pure in heart are inwardly clean. Theirs is a purity of appreciation, affections, desires, and motives. (1 Timothy 1:5) They see God now in that they observe him acting in behalf of integrity keepers. ( Exodus 33:20; Job 19:26; 42:5.) The Greek word here rendered “ “to see with the mind, to perceive ((come to realize or understand)) to know.” Since Jesus perfectly reflected God’s personality, insight into that personality is enjoyed by “the pure in heart,” who exercise faith in Christ and in his sin-atoning sacrifice, gain forgiveness of their sins, and are able to render acceptable worship to God. (John 14:7-9; Ephesians 1:7) Actually seeing God through accurate knowledge and true worship is possible for all those who are pure in heart. (Psalm 24:3, 4; 1 John 3:6; 3 John 11) They are rightly disposed for everlasting life.—Luke 23:43; 1 Corinthians 15:50-57; 1 Peter 1:3-5. Those not rightly disposed for everlasting life will not become believers. It is not possible for them to exercise faith. (2 Thessalonians 3:2) Moreover, nobody can become a true follower of Jesus Christ unless he is teachable and Jehovah, who sees what the heart is, draws that person. (John 6:41-47) Of course, in preaching from house to house, Jehovah’s Witnesses do not prejudge anyone. They cannot read hearts but leave the results in God’s loving hands.



The Bible is a precious gift from God. It is like a letter from a loving father to his children. It tells us the truth about God—who he is and what he stands for. It explains how to cope with problems and how to find true happiness. The Bible alone tells us what we must do to please God.—Psalm 1:1-3; Isaiah 48:17, 18.The Bible was written by some 40 different men over a period of 1,600 years, beginning in 1513 B.C.E. It is made up of 66 little books. Those who wrote the Bible were inspired by God. They wrote his thoughts, not their own. So God in heaven, not any human on earth, is the Author of the Bible.—2 Timothy 3:16, 17; 2 Peter 1:20, 21. God made sure that the Bible was accurately copied and preserved. More Bibles have been printed than any other book. Your eternal future depends on your getting to know God and doing his will despite any opposition.—Matthew 5:10-12; John 17:3.
