By the way, call me when I can see the talking burning bush or 3 fish feed thousands. THAT would be proof.

Call us when YOU get serious about finding God- God reveals Himself to ANYONE who honestly calls upon Him for salvation- but YOU must decide that you want Him to reveal Himself to you- He isn’t going to force Himself on anyone who doesn’t truly want Him in their lives- He has however revealed Himself to 2 billion Christians all over the world- what are you waiting for?

BTW- God left a FAR BETTER revelation and terstimony of Himself than mere miraculous events of the old testament- He left the witness of the Holy Spirit- which, should you decide to take God at His word, and accept Him, will imediately find out is far more real than you can ever imagine- butr again - you have to take the first step- I and 2 billion other Christians can assure you that you will NOT be dissappointed

God wrote a book for you- He gave His word in this book, many people, both secular and religious corroborated His word throguh the ages, Yet you still refuse to beleive Him? I doubt a burnign bush is going to even get your attention- You’d make soem excuse asd to why it wasn’t real- or it was faked, or some form of magic- God has more than authenticated His book, His acts, and His love toward those who accept Him- and many many poeople can attest to His love for them today- but you still refuse to beleive them?

mr piper- I was a bit harsh- There certainly is no shame in doubting, as everyone does doubt- Even Thomas, who walked with Christ- witnessed Christ’s miracles first hand, witnessed the Ressurected Christ, doubted- Chjrist didn’t rebuke Thomas for doubting-

Thomas Finally Had the breakthrough ‘Aha’ moment when he let go of his doubt, and Saw Christ for who He really was- He met Christ as God for the first time- up until that poiuint, Thomas had let his doubting nature rule his life, and he refused to beleive Christ was God- refused to beleive the miracles, refused to bleeive the witnesses of the many who saw Christ and beleived-

IF you truly want to meet Christ- Ask the Holy Spirit to reveal Christ to you- Ask Him to remove the viel that prevents you from Seeing Christ, and TRUST that The Holy spirit will do so no matter howl ong it takes- He WILL remove that veil IF you stay true to your faith that He will do so- Just know that the Evil one will do everythign in his power to prevent you from holdign onto that faith and cause you to give up in hopelessness- but if you stay true to this glimmer of faith- You WILL find God to be quite true to His word and will get more than enough confirmation of His existence and reality in your daily life on a personal level that you would never had received from simpel personal witness of miracles- Gos is so much more than a magician who does our bidding whenever we demand it- move beyond this demand, and you will find a God who loves you and has been waiting all this time for you to shed the doubt and take the leap of faith that we ALL MUST take befiore He reveals Himself to us.

Have you EVER looked at the workings of the human body???

The way that the ear nose and throat are interconnected, and that one affects the other.

Ever wonder at the intricacies of the human heart, and how it "just developed" from nothing?? Cells randomly formed into a heart. Not just any old heart, because the heart of a cheetah won't work in a human, nor will a giraffes, nor a dogs, nor a goats, nor an elephants, nor a horses, nor...

Did you ever marvel at a kidney and how it functions?? And how it randomly "just developed". How, when working properly, detoxifies the body. And yet, not only is it different than an animals kidney, seldom is it the same as another persons. Blood type has an effect, tissue type, and a series of other things that seperate it from millions of other peoples'.

Ever look at the human brain??? With all of our great knowledge, we have YET to make a computer that can do everything that the brain can do. And yet, the brain, with no outside influence, created intself, from basic cells.

Each individual part of the body each did this. ON ITS OWN. With no outside input or design.

Now whats really amazing, each PART of the body works together making up the WHOLE body. The BODY being the most intricate machine ever developed, and yet each part randomly evolved on its own, to work a specific function, that is seperate from another parts, but seemlessly fits and works together.

Whats even more amazing is that EACH body part "evolved" at exactly the same time. Without the brain the body couldn't function. Without lungs the body couldn't function. Without kidneys the body couldn't function. Without a heart the body couldn't function. Its all or nothing.

Speaking of all or nothing. Each part has to evolve instantaniously. Without being fully developed an eye is useless. The brain, without being fully developed is useless. Same with the kidneys. And so on.

Not only does the body need all those parts to "evolve" at the same time in order for the body to work, each PART has to evolve IN FULL in order for it to work.

Now take into account what all is involved with the human body "evolving" and multiply that 1000's of times over with every type of animal and insect.

Respectfully, you probably wouldn’t believe that anyway...Why not just let yourself trust that God is who he says he is and trust in his promises? It won’t hurt you in anyway, rather it will help you tremendously...I can’t prove that either, but believe me, you will never understand how you lived without trusting in God.
