Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire How can we find out if God exists?

We can read the scripture and compare whether those who claimed to be profits enlightened by God to the prophecies they made and whether they did in fact come to pass historically.

If a man told you he was a prophet God directed him to inform us the prophecy and if those things he said did come to be always true, even seemingly impossible events, and none were missed, one could dismiss the prophet as being lucky or one could get a clue.

Those too stupid or stiffnecked to get a clue, being of sound mind, wouldn't be worthy of the knowing the truth.

You can't unless you die first.
Then it's too late to matter.

Die...you first.


And before any of you laugh at my answer, it is the only way to know for sure as everything else is supposition and stories made up by strangers with vested interests and a bent for bullshit.

So, you fall into the latter group- the group who prefers to stupidly say the fulfillment of impossible prophecy was simply a matter of luck.

So, since you are already convinced you cant intelligently process what it means for some to have accurately predicted future evdentd there is no point in your further embarrasment.

Smart people play the odds, JS.

If there is, you will learn someday.
If there isn't, you won't.

Faith?

So, you are a fuckwit that cannot think for himself and has to mouth the words of others to feel some meaning in life.

Faith gets us in Heaven. It doesnt prove beyond a shadow of doubt God exists.

The claims made in the Bible have a great basis in historically proven evidence.

If you think belief and godliness is about 'playing it smart' then you are not even in the race you halfwit.

Gus?

Your title to this thread was "How can we find out if God exists?", and mentioned nothing about faith...if you have faith you do not go about needing proof.

Now piss off and play with the other peds and money-lenders.

I'm not playing the odds, JS. I know. Im saying we can know beyond a shadow of boubt by seeing the history of fulfillment of pophecy and extrapolating it to prophecies that were predicted to be fulfilled in the future.

I know that if I hit a deer in the brain with a 7 mag bullet I will get the deer.

Hit your thumb with a hammer.

My first thought as well.

With a little thought most can think of several possible exceptions to that statement.
For example that brain shot deer falls off a cliff and you're unable to recover it.
There are no absolutes.

How may we know the word which the Lord hath not spoken? Deut 18:21.

Moses said, "When a prophet speaks in the name of the Lord, if it does not come true, we know it was not words the Lord spoke.

The prophets of Israel were stonec to death if ever wrong. Often they didnt even know what their prophecy concerned.

We are seeing many of those prophices happen in our lifetime.

I guess some of those guys were pretty lucky, or, divinley guided.

JStuart?
Off topic but does that land of milk and honey for some.........................
have chocolate Graham crackers for others?

OP, look outside your window.

Jeremiah told Israel the southern kingdom would be taken by king Nebuchadnezzar and was not well recieved. He also said the land would be destroyed and become desolate and that Jerusalem would be destroyed. He also pissed his buds off by saying the survivors would be made slaves for 70 years. Lucky guess, huh?

A holy man, like we have leading in some of our churches, beat him and put him in the stocks.

Archeology and history now prove he was right. Babylon kept them 70 years and destroyed Jerusalem.
