To the post ‘Can you prove to me there is a God”?
I can’t seem to find the post ,was to busy at the time. So anyone who’s interested. Here’s my TRUE Story……. My sister has been on drugs and alcohol since she was 13 yrs old. She is now 49. We have always been fairly close despite the contrast of being ,behaving extremely different ( I don’t use either) and I’m a Christian,shes an athiest. I sent a letter to her and my other family members about ‘Repressed Anger’ ( a post I had written a little while back) anyway…My older sister took it in total offense,calling me names and writing me off as a sister(again). But when my closer sister got it,She had just went after her ex-husband(living with) with a hammer (again.)That shows the anger issue she has ,just one of many,many many,,issues she has.So, she read the letter that I had sent, along with my prayer for God to open her eyes ,ears and heart. She actually called me ( she hates phones) and thanked me, in a sense ,for its contents. And announced that she’s working on the drinking issue and FORGIVENESS.!!!!!! That has been one of her biggest issues .Holding grudges, years of blaming others ,all that goes with it. We Cried,we talked and said good-bye with a truly ,whole….I love you sis. Now if that was’nt Gods’ work,I don’t know what is.He can and does what no man can do, What I thought would never ,EVER happen. He opened her heart ,softened it and warmed it. To anyone who reads this,’The Impossible ,the Miracles DO happen, all the time. We just have to ‘BELIEVE’ in God and the POWER of Prayer

probably the greatest proof that there is a God
is to take a look at your life and see how many times you have
saved something and many years later you find that exact
thing is exactly what you need at that moment.
This means that your soul which is part of God new in advance
of the event in the future that you would need that particular thing
at that particular moment.
Building faith is discovering that everything that you need will be provided
by your soul or God if you prefer.
I found this in my life ,I need no more proof.
I’m finding that a lot lately,How it puts a smile on my face every time.I see it as many blessing inside one big one. :)
Hi koala,nice to hear from you and thank-you for the kind words.May your cup runneth over :)
The problem with “proving” God exist’s is what someone will accept as proof. In this case, what would seem an obvious miracle, another person would just call a change of heart. One person may call something an answered prayer and another would call it something that would have happened anyway. I have had many discussions on what constitutes “proof” and it seems almost impossible to pin someone down on anything other than God standing there in person and explaining it Himself. If you show someone a photograph, they will say “yes, there was a photographer”, if you show someone a building they will say “yes, there was a builder”, but when you show someone creation, they say “there is no such thing as a creator”. To me, it defies all reasonable logic. Creation itself should be sufficient proof that God exists.
Thankyou somuch for sharing that because that does prove that God is real and he still preforms miracles
I am proof that God exists. I was healed of deafness when I was 4.
My mom and other believers had faith when they prayed for my healing and within a week I was able to hear.
Here are 2 videos you can view on this subject:
Proof God is Real
Original on YouTube.com
Thats a wonderful story, I don’t believe it was the work of god but I can still say that it was touching. I can see how the need for causation could lead you to assume that it was the work of god as a believer and yet to me a simple beauty in humanity’s ability to change itself. Definitively is either one of us “wrong”? No. Your belief is simply more improbable.

Not if this post functioned like the prayer and letter to the sister, opening mind and heart etc. It would make sense that God would be the one to prove (or assert) his existence.
The only slightly weird thing is… where does it stop? If someone says, “Prove to me that there’s $5″, do you immediately send them $5 so they understand the true glory of $5?

For someone reading this that has not yet come to believe that God is God, I would like to reccomend a book that I recently got, it is called The Shadow of the Apolypse, written by Paul Crouch. He is the founder of the largest Christian network in the world. You can obtain the book at their website tbn.org.
This book is amazing even me, and I thought that I was shock proof. What God is allowing to come forth at this time, is awesome indeed. I will tell you no more,
Get the book.
Love, Silverwings……….
Hey I love the post Felicity - May God increase the love and understanding between you and your sisters - Ameen. I loved Watcher’s post too - great stuff! :)
The simple answer would be no. It really isn’t possible.
And if it were, it would single-handedly destroy God, as God can only exist whilst people have faith in Him. By proving God’s existence you have removed the need for faith, and irradicated it. Proof denies faith and there is no God.
Simple
Proof denies faith, I don’t really understand that, but would like to.Anyone have something to say about that?
It is the “Doubting Thomas” dogma….
Thomas needed “Proof” that CHRIST had risen instead
having “Faith” in JESUS that HE is GOD and HE will
return…..
We all know the infamous quote from Our LORD, “Blessed
are they whom believe yet had not seen” or needed proof….
The other Believers had Faith that HE IS, WAS and EVER SHALL BE
World Without End…..Amen!
Hope this helps…
Oh, That clears it up perfectly, Thanx info pro.And bless you :)

I do not agree GOD can only exist if people have faith in HIM. HE exist before people were created therefore it is us whom need HIM and not the other way around.
I pass all Blessings up to HIM. Have a Bless Day too Felicity…
Totally agree!
Actually, to a point, I have to agree that proof and faith cannot exist together. But I don’t agree that God exists only through faith.
Do angels have faith that God exists?
1. No they do not, they dwell in heaven with God and “see” Him and have no need for faith. “Faith is the proof for things unseen.”
2. Angels do not have faith but, because they do not have faith in God has not removed the fact that they still “see” Him.
No paradox, it just the way it is.
Well, actually, it’s just a quote I remembered from the book ‘The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy’. The full quote goes as such-
‘I refuse to prove that I exist,’ says God, ‘for proof denies faith, and without faith I am nothing.’ “‘But,’ says Man, ‘The Babel fish is a dead giveaway, isn’t it? It could not have evolved by chance. It proves you exist, and so therefore, by your own arguments, you don’t. QED.’ “‘Oh dear,’ says God, ‘I hadn’t thought of that,’ and promptly vanished in a puff of logic.

Dontgettoclose, that quote is why I avoid reading false doctrine, heresy’s or books from authors that may intentionally or accidentally derail the Faith of others. Such as the “D. Code” and “The Secret”. These things will plant dark seed in you and if it takes root, choke your faith right out of you, which is satan’s intent.
To me, that quote borderlines being blasphemous if not out right being disrespectful to the THRONE OF GOD for HE will never say “I am nothing” or “I hadn’t thought of that”! This is human flesh speaking such ugly, dishonest and disrespectful things! Cast that curse generating document far from your home (trash bin) and repent quoting such things and give Blessings and Thanks to HIM whom said, “Write, Blessed are they which are called unto the Marriage Supper of the Lamb” (We Feast while the wicked is running for their lives on earth for 7 years)
Knowing this dontgettoclose, does GOD, Our HEAVENLY FATHER, deserve that dark and wicked quote?
For HE is ALMIGHTY GOD, Alpha and Omega, The Bright and Morning Star, The Lion of Judah, The First and the Last, Faithful and True, Omnipotent Reign, be Glory and Dominion Forever and Ever…..AMEN!
InfoPRO, Blesses HIS HOLY NAME! For HE is GOOD and HIS Mercy Endureth Forever!!!
Amen to that my brother!
Agnostic here… Hi, how are you all doing? There are some interesting points here and some total nonsense (but I thought it was a good book when I read it). I’m not sure if i’m willing to “let go” just yet. Although, I think looking at creation is a good example for Gods existence, as the second video points out. I think that’s where I’m starting to look now. I don’t know if the whole of the second video makes sense though in assuming either one of two scenarios. Seems to me there could be a lot more. But I can’t say for sure. There was a really good post not too long ago for proof of Gods existence… I can’t find it though. :P If God is out there, I hope he guides us, those of us who are lost and blind.
The words “providing for us”, “blessing” and “miracle”
are really all the same thing but simply a matter of degree.
Or intensity. Someone say it is “nature” that provides for us
for God that provides for us or our “soul”.
If you walked into a room full of scientists and asked them is there such a thing
as God most of them would say no.
Then if you asked them is there such a thing as “nature” they would all look at you
as though you’re crazy. Of course there’s nature.
If you then asked them what is nature they would proceed to tell you
that it is this great, invisible, all-powerful force, that controls all the
seen and unseen things in the universe. Sounds like God doesn’t.
Nature and God are simply two names for the same thing.
Nature being the scientific name and God being the religious name.

I’m doing fine! Thank you! I hope you’re the same.
Most Non-Believers will have this problem. Their Televisions, Radios and A/C Electrical Sockets will testify against them at The Great White Throne Of Judgment.
Why is that?
Because the Television you’ve designed, is smart enough to detect something in the Air that’s invisible to the human eye, can not be felt, has no smell, can not hear it’s presence, yet, your television with it’s antenna, tunes in and reproduces the invisible image and invisible sound that is being broadcasted for your eyes to see and your ears to hear what is physically around you but not felt! (Radio Wave Transmissions)
Reference: Matthew 13:14 And in them is fulfilled the prophecy of Esaias, which saith, By hearing ye shall hear, and shall not understand; and seeing ye shall see, and shall not perceive:
This is why HIS WORDS are so powerful here: Hebrews 11:3 Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the Word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear.
Unfortunately Tumble Weed, because man became a god…..and he loves his own wisdom more than…TRUTH…GOD the FATHER set up a little test and that is this:
1 Corinthians 1:26 New Living Translation
18 The message of the cross is foolish to those who are headed for destruction! But we who are being saved know it is the very power of God. 19 As the Scriptures say,
“I will destroy the wisdom of the wise
and discard the intelligence of the intelligent.”[e]
20 So where does this leave the philosophers, the scholars, and the world’s brilliant debaters? God has made the wisdom of this world look foolish. 21 Since God in his wisdom saw to it that the world would never know him through human wisdom, he has used our foolish preaching to save those who believe. 22 It is foolish to the Jews, who ask for signs from heaven. And it is foolish to the Greeks, who seek human wisdom. 23 So when we preach that Christ was crucified, the Jews are offended and the Gentiles say it’s all nonsense.
24 But to those called by God to salvation, both Jews and Gentiles,[f] Christ is the power of God and the wisdom of God. 25 This foolish plan of God is wiser than the wisest of human plans, and God’s weakness is stronger than the greatest of human strength.
26 Remember, dear brothers and sisters, that few of you were wise in the world’s eyes or powerful or wealthy[g] when God called you. 27 Instead, God chose things the world considers foolish in order to shame those who think they are wise. And he chose things that are powerless to shame those who are powerful. 28 God chose things despised by the world,[h] things counted as nothing at all, and used them to bring to nothing what the world considers important. 29 As a result, no one can ever boast in the presence of God.
30 God has united you with Christ Jesus. For our benefit God made him to be wisdom itself. Christ made us right with God; he made us pure and holy, and he freed us from sin. 31 Therefore, as the Scriptures say, “If you want to boast, boast only about the Lord.”[i]
Therefore, the Terms of The Living GOD, LORD of HEAVEN and Earth is this….
YOU must surrender your godship FIRST by accepting HIM and HIS Gift to you, the sacrifice of HIS SON. THEN and only THEN will HE reveal HIMSELF to you…
It is an “Unconditional Surrender!”

This statement would make GOD and Nature on the same plan. I respectfully disagree spiratec9. GOD, the FATHER, CREATED Nature……John 1:3 All things were made by HIM; and without him was not any thing made that was made.
Firstly: I have a problem with the events shown on T.V. or the radio or the internet or whatever. Somehow I don’t think people get what’s going on in the world. They disbelieve what they see in such media just as much as they disbelieve what they read. But that’s another subject which could also be related to our disassociation with one another as brothers and sisters.
Secondly: I love quotes and all… and many people can testify to that… but there is only so much power of the word… the word in fact is limited…
words are tags we use to describe events, feelings, thoughts, etc. If one were to experience the birth of a whale and then try to describe it to someone else, I believe it would be lacking in the translation of the event into words. One should be careful of how to interpret words. Any words.
