Evidence for god

Hi

Please below write any evidnce that god exists

All the evidence anyone ever needs is contained in the Holy Bible. Not only evidence, but proof. No man could have written what the Word shows.

How about a 2 word answer, “The Jew.” The continued survival of the Jewish people in spite of numerous and concerted efforts to exterminate them unequivocally demonstrates God’s existence, His presence in the world and His involvement in the affairs of man.

First let’s understand that the Jewish people were chosen by God to accomplish four things:

1. To be a witness for Him (Isaiah 43:10)

2. To show forth His blessings (Isaiah 49:3)

3. To be a repository for His Word (Isaiah 42:9), and

4. To be a channel for the Messiah (Isaiah 49:5-6).

Because He instilled in them a desire to be so meticulous in preserving His word, we have in the Old Testament a document that when compared to secular accounts of world history provides irrefutable evidence of God’s existence.

Let me put it this way. If someone came to you and claimed to be God, what would be the most convincing proof he could offer to convince you that he really was? Many people I’ve asked have responded that if he could tell them things no one could know they would be impressed enough to at least give him the benefit of the doubt. When I say “What if he told you things that haven’t happened yet? And then when the events he predicted came to pass just as he described them with 100% accuracy, would that persuade you?” Invariably the answer I get is “Yes.”

Well that’s exactly what God has done. Listen to His claim from Isaiah 42:8-9. “I am the Lord, that is my name! I will not give my glory to another or my praise to idols. See, the former things have taken place (what I told you would happen has happened) and new things I declare; before they spring into being I announce them to you.”

Of all the so-called Holy Writings, only the Bible authenticates itself like this. In fact God challenges anyone else claiming to be like Him to prove himself this way. “This is what the Lord says, Israel’s King and Redeemer, the Lord Almighty. I am the first and I am the last; apart from me there is no God. Who then is like me? Let him proclaim it. Let him declare and lay out before me what has happened since I established my ancient people and what is yet to come – yes. Let him foretell what will come” (Isaiah 44:6-7). If you want to be God, there’s a two-question qualification exam. First recount in detail everything that has happened in the past, and then predict everything that will happen in the future. By the way, the only acceptable score is 100%. (Deut 18:21-22)

Knowing The End From The Beginning

We call this means by which God authenticates Himself predictive prophecy. By most accounts the Bible is 30-40% predictive prophecy by volume. A lot of it has been fulfilled and is there waiting to be compared to history as evidence of God’s existence. Much more is being fulfilled right before our eyes through the Nation of Israel as irrefutable proof. But just for the purpose of illustration let me site 3 passages.

According to historical records, when Cyrus the Persian conquered Babylon in 535 BC, Daniel the prophet asked him to release the Jews who had been captive there for 70 years. “Why should I?” asked Cyrus. In response Daniel read him a passage from Isaiah written nearly 250 years earlier. In the passage Cyrus was mentioned by name, and the method by which he had just conquered Babylon was described in detail (Isaiah 45:1-7). This fulfilled prophecy persuaded Cyrus and he freed the Jews.

When Alexander the Great read Daniel’s vision of the Ram and the Goat (Daniel 8:1-8), he became convinced that the vision spoke of the way Greece had conquered Persia under his leadership, and from that time forward he afforded the Jews special treatment. Upon entering Jerusalem, Alexander bowed before the High Priest and spared the city. He appointed Jewish administrators over much of his kingdom, and it was in the city of Alexandria that a grandson of Alexander’s had the Old Testament translated into Greek so the world could read it. By the way Daniel had his vision over 200 years before Alexander was born.

The first 35 verses of Daniel 11 document in advance the history of the Middle East from the death of Alexander to the arrival of the Romans in such great detail that unbelievers have spent hundreds of years trying to prove that it was written after the fact. As a result Daniel is the most historically documented book in the entire Old Testament

Controlling The Masses

World leaders have long known that the way to repress the people is to keep them ignorant. This principle was developed by Satan himself and is being used most effectively on our generation. In the early days of the church, he persuaded Gentile leaders to separate the church from its Jewish roots, ignore the Old Testament and jettison 4000 years of Jewish commentary on life in a covenant relationship with God. (As a result the Gentile world has spent much of the last 2000 years re-discovering principles of sanitation, health, and inter-personal relationships that Moses first wrote about in the wilderness.) During the Dark Ages the Bible was available only to monks in monasteries and the church itself became an instrument of incredible repression and persecution. In our century the Bible has been so thoroughly discredited by the introduction of the Documentary Hypothesis and Modern Rationalism into our seminaries that much of the Church no longer regards either Testament as being relevant to our times. And of course the elimination of even the mention of God’s name from our schools means that many in our current generation have never even seen a Bible and probably wouldn’t know where to find one, much less how to read it.

Even this was prophesied in Scripture: “The days are coming,” declares the Sovereign Lord, “when I will send a famine through the land – not a famine of food or a thirst for water, but a famine of hearing the words of the Lord.” (Amos 8:11). Never in the history of the world has spiritual ignorance been so prevalent. It’s remarkable when you think of it, because our current state of ignorance has been created only recently. Many of our great universities, like Harvard, Princeton and Yale were founded as seminaries that subscribed to a literal interpretation of God’s word. Our public school system began in churches, and the earliest primers, used to teach children to read, were adapted from the Gospel of John. Our nation’s departure from its Christian heritage has taken place in the span of just 2 generations.

But the evidence of predictive prophecy still remains. We haven’t burned our books yet, so all you have to do to convince yourself that God exists is to pick up a few of them. Get a Study Bible, a competent volume on world history, and a reference book or two such as the Complete Works of Flavius Josephus to tie them together. Then begin reading. You’ll soon discover that by whatever standard you decide to use, rules of evidence as used by an attorney, statistical probability as used by a mathematician, or forensic logic as used by a debater, the evidence of God’s existence will become as obvious as the nose on your face. You can take His word for that: “You will seek Me and find Me when you seek Me with all your heart.” (Jeremiah 29:13).

Take that!

According to Scripture, creation itself is sufficient evidence. See Romans 1. And it is capital G for God, small g for false gods.

[enoob57]

The history of assembled Scripture with prophecy is the best evidence... many have approached Scripture with integrity
to prove it wrong and have been converted by what they found in the empirical aspects alone!  

[post]

apply Gödel's second incompleteness theorem to life, the universe, and everything. 

your existence is inconsistent if, by itself, under its own assumption of atheism, it supposes itself to be consistent. 

[1to3]

What about evidence that there is No God?

Look around you, what do you see?

Intelligent design? or a blank canvas of nothingness?

From just looking at how complex this life, this world, outer space, galaxies the universe is

can you for sure with your finite intelligence come to the conclusion that all this, including you, was made with no conscious intelligence behind it?

If you honestly make for yourself a list of No God versus Yes God about all of creation, what list to you makes most sense?

 

*If you question if there is a God, something in you has some kind of pull to find the truth .*

Its called a measure of faith, and this measure of faith has been given to every human soul , its what they do with that measure that will determine their final destiny.

Romans 12:3

For I say to every man that is among you, through the grace given unto me, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think, but to think soberly according as God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith.

 

This measure in faith that every human is born with, is like a tiny mustard seed, when this measure of faith it is planted in good soil is just grows bigger and bigger, stronger and stronger.

and the proof of the Fact that God exists is the results one experiences with every step of having cultivated that measure of faith.

 

Look to parable of the sower and the seed. Christ Jesus explains what happens when our measure of faith "seed" is nurtured in good soil and what happens when we choose to neglect properly cultivating it.

The Parable of the Sower

found in:

Mark  ch 4

Matthew 13

 

If you seek earnestly for the truth of who God is, by placing step by step a desire to speak to God, ask Him that you want a relationship with Him and ask Him to show you what you need to know about Him. He is faithful to show you.

It fist takes a measure of trust on your part, and with each step you take in trusting God to show you the way, your measure of faith will grow.

This you may not know or understand, but those who have been where you are and have searched to have a relationship with God with sincerity of heart,

have been answered and keep on being answered by God as they continue their relationship with God.

Gods truth is active, it is revealed through a symbiotic relationship, between you and God.

God is just and gives us all the same rights to choose or not to choose.

God does not force Himself on you if you do not want to know about Him.

Even though God has granted every human a measure of faith to find Him,

He has given us all, the option of choosing what path we want to take.

You have to seek Him to find Him and than He will respond back.

 

If you want to know if God exist ask God Himself.

God wants you to talk to Him, God wants you to ask Him into your heart so He can help you understand more about yourself, more about him and more about His will for you in life.

There is only One God, the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob

with a sincere heart,

Ask Him to show you who He is.

God as given you , me and all humans, a conscious heart to find His conscious heart.

God wants our conscious hearts to be aligned with His conscious heart.

It is not only a matter of design but of God conscious heart design.

We were made in His image, in His conscious heart image.

He gave us consciousness for a reason, not only to reason with no heart conscious, but to reason with heart conscience.

We were originally to be made in His perfect heart conscious design.

The heart make the blood flow so that we can live.

Without a heart, blood cannot flow.

Blood represents life.

tainted blood brings sickness.

Pure blood brings health.

Walking away from God's heart conscious is called sin.

sin bring on destruction.

 

The blood of Christ Jesus, that was pure and untainted from sin, was shed to heal us, to bring us back to the conscious heart, God had originally prepared for us to live by.

Because of tainted blood in us all we die, we die in this life sooner or later, because of the original sin of man, the blood became tainted, the genes became skewed, and they take their course in deteriorating to the point of dying.

Even in pure an applied science, without even the metaphysical consideration of God heart consciousness,

matter cannot stop its energy from being, its energy may get diffused, transferred, but its energy remains.

How our soul energy gets transferred beyond this life is a matter of the choices we made in this life.

 

God  heart consciousness allowed this as He gave us free will.

He also gave us the way to salvage ourselves from destruction

and that way is to find back life through Him.

Without Him, without Gods heart consciousness, we become, lost eventually ending up void, void of His love, life, heart consciousness .

 

If you seek and keep seeking to know if there is a God, you will find the answer.

The Word of God found in the bible gives full detail of God in action.

But also, it has to do with you and your life.

If you seek and ask God to reveal Himself to you He will. He will show you His ways, such as the ways that He is life and creator of life.

 

Luke 12:31

0"For all these things the nations of the world eagerly seek; but your Father knows that you need these things.

31"But seek His kingdom, and these things will be added to you.

32"Do not be afraid, little flock, for your Father has chosen gladly to give you the kingdom.…

Matthew 6:33

32"For the Gentiles eagerly seek all these things; for your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things.

33"But seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.

34"So do not worry about tomorrow; for tomorrow will care for itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.

 

God bless you;  : )

I like Daniel 11:1-35.   This is a prophecy which concerns the start of the Greek Empire under Alexander the Great, and the subsequent interactions between the two main divisions of the Greek Empire for hundreds of years until 165 BC.   The fulfilment is amazing in its accuracy, and yet this book had been around for hundreds of years before the events foretold. Even Daniel's literary style and knowledge match that of the period he claimed to be living in, hundreds of years before these events.

If God wanted to be proven he would simply appear, this is a period when faith is required, but even so many people have had personal miracles. Answered prayer, supernatural healings etc etc  Numerous eyewitness accounts, some even verified by doctors. My previous pastor who is now a facebook friend has been used by God to perform multiple miracles over the 25 years I have known him.

If I were to use your logic, the Harry Potter books are sufficent evidence that wizards and flying broomsticks exist. Also, I will always spell god with a small g as all gods are false.

It is blatantly obvious that the bible was written by man, as evident by the fact that it is extremely badly written.
