Skeptics, We Don't Have The Truth, The Truth Has Us. [Spirituality & Religion]

6 Jesus said to Thomas, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me. John 14:6

31Then Jesus said to those Jews who believed Him, “If you abide in My word, you are My disciples indeed. 32And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.” John 8:31

13 However, when He, the Spirit of truth, has come, He will guide you into all truth; for He will not speak on His own authority, but whatever He hears He will speak; and He will tell you things to come. John 16:13

17 Sanctify them by Your truth. Your word is truth. 18 As You sent Me into the world, I also have sent them into the world. 19 And for their sakes I sanctify Myself, that they also may be sanctified by the truth. John 17:17-19

The lies of men will never stand up to the Truth of God.

This would all be so correct, if the Bible was a valid source of information.
Alas... so far, it hasn't been proven to be. So taking this as being "the truth" is the same thing as believing other myths and faerie tales without anny evidence, not so smart.

@Emosaur One can interpret it to mean whatever one wants it to mean.

@Emosaur @Sharon [quote] It'll never be proven to be, because it has already been proven to be unreliable due to the countless inaccuracies and contradictions it contains.[/quote]

Your interpretations of God's Word are unreliable due to the countless inaccuracies and contradictions they contain.

@Kwek00 God proves himself in my life! I put him to the test when he said “ I challenge you to give me your first and see if I will not open up heaven for you that I will pour down a blessing that you will not even be able to contain it! Your barns will be full!

@Emosaur [quote]Other people say their gods proved themselves in their lives, does that mean the gods they believe in are real?[/quote]

No.

@Emosaur [quote]Then @Carazaa's comment is pointless.[/quote]

That's not proof, that's an opinion.

@Emosaur [quote]So you don't think it's pointless to imply something, but then not actually mean it?[/quote]

When Carazaa says something, she means it.

@Emosaur [quote]You make no sense.[/quote]

You're the one that's making no sense. You're trying to justify the lies you've been believing and you can't do it. Just because men made up gods all through the centuries doesn't mean that all gods are made up. There is only one true God, Yahweh, who lives forever.

@Emosaur [quote]so if that is a standard of proof to her then she's basically saying other gods are real too [/quote]
You're forgetting christian double standards. They claim their god is real just because they say so but expect others to provide hard evidence of their gods.
Carazaa · F
@Sharon you are just making that up! Don’t lie!
Sharon · F
@Carazaa It's no lie, you can see the evidence for yourself in various threads on this site. Christians repeatedly demand that Atheists prove the christian god isn't real or accept that it is. They expect members of other religions to prove their god(s) is/are real though. Double standards abound!

@Sharon I have never asked you to prove anything I just want you to not be so dismissive of Jesus who died for your sins! He’s knocking on your heart!

I don't believe any of that, to me it's just a myth. Maybe you should stop being so dismissive of others' beliefs.
