Why doesn't god show us all unequivocally that he exists?
That's a question that i have asked and i was genuinely interested in what this man's answer might be.

I was disappointed but not surprised to find that he does not answer it at all.

The fact that god showing himself does not necessarily mean we would all love him is not a good reason for him not to show himself because inarguably fewer people would believe in and submit to him if he doesn't prove he's real.

Would you love Him if He did come to you in person?
@GodSpeed63

Well there's certainly a much larger chance if i knew he existed. Can't love something i don't believe exists🤷‍♀️

@Pikachu ah, avoiding the question I see 🙂
@Carazaa

No just being honest. I can't know what i would feel upon meeting the person of god.
But i do know that there's zero chance of loving something i don't believe is real.

@Pikachu Fair enough, but the question is "if" he came to you.

Jesus explained this and said "not even if they see me will they believe"
I have a question for you! Why do you think he said that?
@Carazaa

And my answer is "if" he came to me, i don't know but it's a better chance than if i don't know he exists.

Why do you think he said that?

Did he say that?
Carazaa · F
@Pikachu yes
@Carazaa

I can't find it. Can you give me the verse?
Carazaa · F
@Pikachu Luke 16:31 31"He said to him, 'If they do not listen to Moses and the Prophets, they will not be convinced even if someone rises from the dead.'"
Carazaa · F
@Pikachu So if he really said that, why do you think he said that?
@Carazaa

lol bit of a liberal paraphrase then, was it?
That's not actually Jesus saying people won't believe in god even if they see him so i can't really say why he said it since evidently he didn't.

But it sounds like he'd just be saying people who have made up their minds not to believe won't believe no matter what.
Don't know how true that actually is but hey
Carazaa · F
@Pikachu oh right! 😏
Carazaa · F
@Pikachu But surely you aren't one of those?
@Carazaa
No, i don't think i am.
I need evidence to believe. God is either unwilling or unable to provide me such evidence and i cannot therefore, rationally hold a belief in its existence, much less love it.
Carazaa · F
@Pikachu Whatever you say 🙂
@Carazaa

Think what you want🙂

True but you still haven't proven that God doesn't live. Believing that He doesn't live doesn't cut it.

Sure it does. All Atheist don’t believe in him and we get along fine without it

What the hell are you babbling about?
We're not talking about proving anything here.
You asked "Would you love Him if He did come to you in person?"
I answered that there's certainly much more of a chance of that if i knew he existed because i can't love something i don't believe exists.
Nothing to do with proof.

Stop trying to score points and actually pay attention to what the other person is saying to you.

If you can't prove that Yahweh doesn't live, then your statement,
Can't love something i don't believe exists
doesn't ring true.

That may pose a problem. He can’t type while standing up at his desk.

Sure it rings true. Even faith has it’s limits. Your’s might deny all evidence against it, but others want to see something to justify the time and effort. If Yahweh acts like he doesn’t exist, then people are going to respond as if he doesn’t exist.

Prove it.

Easily. You have several Atheist right here on this website. Faith has it’s limits, and those limits ran out on us years ago. Seeing is believing.
