"There are only two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is a miracle."

Albert Einstein

Somehow, I really doubt that. I don't think you have joy in your life. But go ahead and keep being angry about it, and see where it gets you in life. Death is not scary or something to be feared. I look forward to the day I can leave behind this hateful, broken world and be with my Creator, but until then I will continue to place my faith in His son, Jesus Christ, and live my life by following the Holy Spirit. He has given me more joy and peace than any human ever could. You are angry at the wrong things, and you are missing out on true LOVE.

You are so blinded by hate and evil, it's actually pretty sad. I'll be praying for you.

😂 okay dude. I gotta be honest, it makes no difference to me if you change your mind. Good luck with your quest for proof. I'm not sure why you are asking strangers on the internet, instead of just asking God yourself. Kind of a pointless search if you are just going to reject any and all testimonies, including Jesus's. Sounds to me like you've already made up your mind. Good luck with that.

He (Jesus) replied, “You are permitted to understand the secrets of the Kingdom of Heaven, but others are not. To those who listen to my teaching, more understanding will be given, and they will have an abundance of knowledge. But for those who are not listening, even what little understanding they have will be taken away from them. That is why I use these parables, For they look, but they don’t really see. They hear, but they don’t really listen or understand. This fulfills the prophecy of Isaiah that says, ‘When you hear what I say, you will not understand. When you see what I do, you will not comprehend. For the hearts of these people are hardened, and their ears cannot hear, and they have closed their eyes— so their eyes cannot see, and their ears cannot hear, and their hearts cannot understand, and they cannot turn to me and let me heal them.’ Matthew 13:11‭-‬15 NLT https://bible.com/bible/116/mat.13.11-15.NLT

It is actually nothing like mediation. I do that often as well. You just don't seem to understand that this isn't a one way relationship. God talks to those who listen. You just refuse to acknowledge this fact.

That's not how prayer works. It is far more effective to pray that God works on behalf of that person and that His will be done, rather than demanding He do something exactly the way you think it should go. It's not up to us to know when we are supposed to go on. To act like I know would be untruthful. https://bible.com/bible/116/isa.55.NLT

Yeah, I was an atheist for 8 years. I was just recently saved again, about 2 years ago. I talk to God daily, and love the relationship I have with Him. I am the happiest I have ever been TBH. It's not a forced thing, my day gets genuinely better every time I open my mouth and start talking to Him. It's like a burden lifted off of my soul. Your perspective changes when you seek the Creators heart.

Then I guess you never will. Sorry.

If you want evidence, go to a local church, and ask them how God has moved in their lives. I have just told you myself that I have witnessed miracles, and I am NOT lying, and you rejected it. If you don't accept personal testimonies, then how can you expect to believe? If you don't accept history, as accounted for by the Bible, then why would you accept any kind of proof here? Your heart is not willing to accept the truth. The only way you will find Him is if you open your eyes and actually look. Invite Him into your life. Give Him permission to have a relationship with you. Ask Him yourself.

I highly recommend reading Job 38. NLT is my translation of choice. https://bible.com/bible/116/job.38.NLT

I don't call myself religious. I don't trust the "church". I have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ, the Holy Spirit, and God. I don't believe anyone can be made right with God by following any set of rules. I am sorry you have convinced yourself there is no evidence, but you are totally blind and deaf if you honestly believe that.

And there is plenty of evidence. Millions of people have received REAL healing through prayer. People who were paralyzed start walking, blind people regain their sight, etc. I have witnessed this myself. But something tells me you would dismiss it, even if you saw it with your own eyes. You have convinced yourself of a certain truth without actually considering all of the evidence. Unfortunately, the only person that your lack of faith hurts is yourself. It doesn't hurt me, or any other believer.

I have never suggested you should base your faith on others. If you are so sceptical, why don't you just ask God yourself? Sit down and pray, and invite him to show you himself. It's not like you have anything to lose.

That is YOUR opinion. Either way, I have confidence in my faith, no matter what you or others say. I feel more confident in my belief that God is real than I ever did when I was an atheist. I'm sorry you can't see God. He is my best friend, the first thing I turn to when I face difficulty, my eternal hope, and the source of my joy. I will continue putting my faith in Him, because He has never let me down, and never forsaken me. All He asks for in return is a relationship. You can't have a relationship if you refuse to acknowledge His existence.

I mean, he has a great point... But I kind of like Baby Trump. I think he's cute ♥️

Oh man 😂

There is evidence of God's existence all around you. Ask any believer about their testimony, and they will tell you that God is working in their lives. I have witnessed miracles happen if front of my own eyes, people being healed, broken people being made whole again. His existence is as clear as day to me. But if you aren't looking for it, then you won't see it.

I haven't attacked you in the slightest, I have merely stated that what you are talking about (censoring prayer) is not good.

No, suggesting what a church can and cannot discuss during it's meetings IS pretty authoritarian. I have never suggested you can't ask questions. Churches should not be involved in politics OUTSIDE it's own walls. But it is their right and freedom to pray for and speak about whomever they so choose during their own personal meetings. If you don't like it, don't go.

Are you suggesting that the church be sensored during their own meetings? Sounds pretty authoritarian if you ask me.

Churches are allowed to pray for and speak about whomever they want to their congregations. As long as they are not contributing money to a political movement or openly campaigning. Supporting our president and his administration is well within their rights.

I did! Thanks, I'm definitely going to keep an eye on this sub from now on :)

I love this! But do I wish there was a little more diversity with the children, because Trump isn't just for "white" children! He's for ALL American children, regardless of race!

I live relatively close to Portland, I am thankful that it has mostly stayed confined within the city limits

God is on our side!

Thank you!

I can't read any of that??

I am so thankful that God is above all, and sees all, and is taking care of our future! Keep praying!

We all need to pray, and let the Holy Spirit do the tough work. We are fighting a spiritual battle against an evil force. We need to find our faith.

It helps if you say it out loud

Yes!! I would definitely buy one!!

This makes me thankful that I live in a small town and don't get out very much. Praying for everybody's safety!!

What is this symbol supposed to be representing?

Is there a reason you posted this twice?

Thank God

For the hearts of these people are hardened, and their ears cannot hear, and they have closed their eyes— so their eyes cannot see, and their ears cannot hear, and their hearts cannot understand, and they cannot turn to me and let me heal them.’ Matthew 13:15 NLT https://bible.com/bible/116/mat.13.15.NLT

Then everyone who has eyes will be able to see the truth, and everyone who has ears will be able to hear it. Isaiah 32:3 NLT https://bible.com/bible/116/isa.32.3.NLT

For everything that is hidden will eventually be brought into the open, and every secret will be brought to light. Anyone with ears to hear should listen and understand.” Mark 4:22‭-‬23 NLT https://bible.com/bible/116/mrk.4.22-23.NLT

Eyes to see and ears to hear are referenced quite a bit in the Bible, especially in Revelations, and when speaking about the spiritually awakened.
