How To Prove To Me That Your God Exists. Can You Convince Me? by Martinez19(m): 7:51pm On Jul 11, 2018 |
We atheists don't believe in god because there are no evidences to believe in god. Not just that, religions and other world mysticisms are flawed, have no basis in reality and can't survive scrutiny. However, we are ready to have a change of heart if and only if there is proof. Let me speak for myself, how can I be convinced? Simple, you simply have to do the following: 1) DESCRIPTION OF YOUR GOD: there must be a description of your god. If available to you, rely his attributes and other details. For christians that would be your bible, for muslims that would be the q'uran etc. From there we can know the god you are talking about. Before I go on to the next and final step, I would like chip in something. there are two kinds(as I classified them) of proof, here are want I call them: a) evidence based proof : here, a material proves a claim. b) non-evidenced based/logic sufficient proof : here, sound logic and reasoning is just sufficient to prove a claim eg. "I know my grandfather existed because I exist", "every living human had a grandmother" etc. No material is needed. Here we go ![]() 2) PROVE YOUR CLAIM : to convince me, you must do the following completely: a) provide a sound, unshakeable and irrefutable logical pathway that leads from my observable reality to the conclusion of your god ie. in what way can I logically infer, from my observable reality, that your god exists. This inference/pathway must be both logically sufficient and evidence based. Come to think of it, this is what scientific proof is all about. If you or your god can't do this, I have no because believing in your idea of god. ![]() A summary of both steps: you tell me your idea of god then WHY you believe in his existence. You reason for believing in must satisfy the conditions in step 2 for me to become a believer like you or else I remain an atheist. 2 Likes |

No man can prove to another the existence of God. Every man encounters God in diverse ways. I just pray U encounter Him in a special way someday. 5 Likes |

What I understand as God is not a part of existence, but a whole of EXISTENCE. The summation of everything in Existence is what I understand as God. Anything short of this is just a fragment of God i.e Allah, Yahweh, Vishnu, Moloch, Olorun, Eshu, Chimides, Atum, You, Me, Animals, Sand, stone, water, wind... etc are just some insignificant fragments of God(EXISTENCE). |

TarOrfeek:Wait, do you think everybody shouts something whenever they are shocked or surprised? As for me, when I was still a Christian, I don't even shout Jesus or anything at all. Is it now that I am a brain user and a fearless being that I will start shouting Jesus! Jesus!? I would even prefer to shout Gala! or Lacazera! 5 Likes 2 Shares |

smart6:Nice reply you brother.... Martinez19 please see my own encounter of God in this thread https://www.nairaland.com/4497282/jesus-real I also had a third encounter after taking holy communion last 2 months, Jesus came again and entered my body while asleep. Sounds funny right? I pray you encounter him... |

VivaLaFrans: DO YOU EVEN SPARE A THOUGHT FOR THE RELIGIOUS PEOPLE IN EUROPE, ASIA, SOUTH AMERICA AND AUSTRALIA? DO YOU KNOW IF THEY ALSO ENCOUNTER GOD IN THEIR SLEEP DESPITE NOT BEING CHRISTIANS? EVERY RELIGIOUS PERSON ENCOUNTERS THE DEITY OF THEIR RELIGION; YAWEH, RAMA, ODIN, RA, JESUS, ALLAH, BUDDHA, ETC. IF YOU WERE RAISED IN INDIA YOU'LL BELIEVE AND ENCOUNTER ONE OF THEIR NUMEROUS DEITY, NOTHING LIKE JESUS. IF YOUR FATHER WAS PRINCE OF SAUDI YOU'LL ENCOUNTER ALLAH, AND GO ABOUT LOOKING FOR INFIDELS TO STONE TO DEATH. IF YOU WERE AN ISLANDER YOU'LL ENCOUNTER NO DEITY, NO SPIRITS OR DEVILS.. ONLY YOUR FELLOW HUMANS IN YOUR DAILY ROUTINE. THE GOD THAT SPEAKS TO A CATHOLIC IS DIFFERENT FROM THE GOD THAT SPEAKS TO A CHOSEN, A REDEEMER, ETC. EACH OF THESE GODS TELL THEIR BELIEVERS THAT OTHER DENOMINATIONS ARE WRONG. IF THERE WAS A LIVING GOD I'M NOT SURE HE'LL WANT SO MANY DENOMINATIONS, EACH ONE CLAIMING TO BE INSTRUCTED BY GOD AND THAT PEOPLE FROM OTHER DENOMINATIONS NEED TO JOIN THEM BECAUSE THEY'RE THE TRUTH. THIS SHOWS ONE THING.. RELIGIOUS BELIEFS AND ENCOUNTERS OF THE DEITY OF ONE'S RELIGION IS SOMETHING THAT HAPPENS IN THE HEAD, FAR FROM REALITY. ELSE, WHY CAN'T EVERYONE IN THE WORLD ENCOUNTER THESE THINGS TOGETHER AT THE SAME TIME SO WE HUMANS CAN BE UNITED INSTEAD OF DIVIDED BY RELIGION. ONE STANDING CHURCH INSTEAD OF MANY. NO MORE RELIGIOUS CRISES BECAUSE WE ALL WORSHIP THE SAME PERSON. NO ISLAM, NO TAOISM, NO CATHOLISM, NO CHRISTIANITY.. ALL OF US BECOME BELIEVERS AND FOLLOWERS OF THE ONE TRUE LIVING AND EXISTING BEING. BUT INSTEAD OF UNITING ALL HIMANS, THE MUSLIM GOD KEEPS SENDING PEOPLE TO BOMB OTHER PEOPLE WHILE THE CHRISTIAN GOD APPEARS IN THE DREAMS OF PEOPLE LIKE YOU... WHEN THERE ARE MANY OTHER IMPORTANT MATTERS TO BE HANDLED. 9 Likes |

CAPSLOCKED:I understand you bro... But I cannot explain to you why the Jihadists bomb people and why the true living God is still looking at them without sending lightening to destroy them. But all I have to say is that if there are dead gods, then there is a living God. The common way to spot them is through POWER |

johnydon22: Wikipedia states that Idolatry literally means the worship of an "idol", also known as a cult image, in the form of a physical image, such as a statue or icon. In Abrahamic religions, namely Christianity, Islam and Judaism, idolatry connotes the worship of something or someone other than God as if it were God. The Truth is JESUS... |

VivaLaFrans: I NEVER SAID "THERE'S NO GOD" IN MY LAST POSTS. THE REASON I NEVER DEBATE ON GOD, AND WHY I WON'T DEBATE WITH YOU IS BECAUSE YOU ALREADY "FEEL HIM IN YOUR HEART" AND I CAN NEVER MAKE YOU CHANGE YOUR MIND. I DON'T HAVE THE TIME, ENERGY AND PHONE BATTERY TO WASTE HERE TRYING TO REASON FOR WITH YOU ONLY TO HAVE YOU SAY YOU'LL PRAY FOR ME, AND WISH ME TO REPENT BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE.. BEFORE YOU LOG OUT. PS: GOD CAN APPEAR IN YOUR DREAM TO TELL YOU THINGS. BUT CANNOT APPEAR IN OUR DREAMS TO CONVINCE US TO BELIEVE HIM. HE CANNOT APPEAR IN THE DREAMS OF HERDSMEN AND TELL THEM TO STOP KILLING CHRISTIANS. HE CANNOT APPEAR TO THE INDIANS TO ASK THEM TO STOP DRINKING COW URINE AND PRACTICING "HONOUR KILLING", AND BECOME CHRISTIANS. BUT HE CAN APPEAR IN YOUR DREAM. JUST YOU. BECAUSE HE WANTS YOU AND OTHERS LIKE YOU TO JOIN HIM IN HEAVEN WHEN YOU DIE. BEAUTIFUL. 4 Likes |

CAPSLOCKED:This is not true... Do you browse the net about testimonies of new converts. I bet there are thousand, if not millions, of people who got encounters with Jesus even without accepting him. Read about Joshua Blahyi (General Butt naked) of Liberia and how he encountered Jesus. What about Abram, before his name was changed to Abraham... 1 Like |

CAPSLOCKED:You worship Aleku? Sorry but James 4:7-8 says "Therefore submit to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you. Draw near to God and He will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners; and purify your hearts, you double-minded". People experience God's grace in different dimensions. The grace on Joshua Blahyi may be different from yours just as God chose Isreal over other nations... So stop waiting for God to visit you first before you seek Him... You might never see a sign until you submit to Him... 1 Like |
