Does philosophy favor God exists, or it does not.

@Abstraction

You must be a born-again Christian. You have taken Jesus Christ as your personal lord and savior.

But you also know God to exist from thinking on reason and intelligence, because you say:
[quote]I've stared truth in the face and been willing for it to yield what it might.[/quote]

That is my investigation, that man by his reason and intelligence can and does come to know God exists.

@yrger I believe God exists, yes. My reasons for believing this are many - but ultimately an initial unexpected encounter with God when I was searching. Following that many profound experiences, the profundity and beauty of the person of Christ and his teaching; my exploration of philosophy, physics, science, psychology, neuroscience, biology, ethics/morality, other religions/ world views, life experiences... and very serious exploration of Scripture. I haven't stuck to things that confirm what I think, I've stared truth in the face and been willing for it to yield what it might. I would add the impact on my life, on who it has made me, on the consistency of how applying the ethos in real life really works. In fact, all the mess in my life - and there's been some - has been when I've deviated from that path. By the way, doesn't make me feel morally superior or judge other people or tell them how to live, it helps me see below the surface and love people.[/quote]
