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

Heh heh, I saw what you did there.

The most intelligent post you have ever made!!

Right on !!

well, see even that is debatable. i'm speaking of the die first, and find out part of the post. don't know about any intelligence.

but, there are more than one religions, denominations, believers, etc. that do believe in fact the trajectory of a soul can be influenced, even after death of the physical body. but i don't want to confuse anyone as they practice their own particular cosmology.

We will find out with certainty when we die. It would be a shame to miss out on the best free gift you were ever offered and regret it for eternity.

how soon after death do we agree that our final destination is found out by our Soul, Spirit, whatever?

at 0 moment, 1 sec, one minute, one hour, one day, one week, one month, one year? we're talking Earth time here, just in case you might be wondering?

no time to pray between the last breath, and eternity? or is there? what if one or more of a group is praying for the departed soul?

i just trying to better understand how it all works, pretty much. sounds like there's some experts on here. it'd be good to hear what they have to say about the subject, so that we all could better understand.

According to the Bible, one can know while they are living. No need to wait or speculate about after death.

i like that concept, belief, or option. in the real world, i have received different viewpoints. maybe they were wrong?

while souls are in play, then humans on the earth have input into their destination. i'm not sure that's true, but it might be?

why, how, or when did god divide the line of demarcation? what's the verses that support that, anyone know for sure?

step off a high building, you will know quick enough Thomas

In the blink of an eye. When you become a christian, you enter into the kingdom of God, As previously reported you have become a saint in the Lords eyes. You have already faced the judgement if you are a christian. Your name is in the book of life. (Oh hell, did I just say that?)

a lot of folks down here on the Urthen needs a devel to help make things right. i mean a God, real & true, wouldn't do anything to hurt a human, would they? but a debil, why they'd bring leukemia, cancer, wrecks on the highway, falling out of tree stands, etc. etc.

God is the good guy, y'all. the debil not so much. thanks be to the debil to take care of the bad things that happens to humans, allowing the Real God to skate free.

Please prove this.

To proceed, i mean, to continue:

About 2600 years ago Ezekiel prophecied that the Jewish nation would be reborn in THE LATTER YEARS before the Messiah returned to judge a great enemy who would rise up against them. The wasteland would be restored from the sword of their previous destruction (by the Roman Empire). Ezekiel 38:8.
This prophecy came to pass in 1958.

"Hereby know we that we dwell in him, and he in us, because he hath given us of his Spirit." (1 John 4:13)

It is surprising to note that this phrase "hereby know" occurs eight times in the little epistle of 1 John. Each of these listed below is given as a means of both testing the genuineness of our professed faith in Christ and then of giving assurance and comfort to the true believer.

"And hereby we do know that we know him, if we keep his commandments" (1 John 2:3).

"But whoso keepeth his word, in him verily is the love of God perfected: hereby know we that we are in him" (1 John 2:5).

"Hereby perceive |same Greek word as 'know'| we the love of God, because he laid down his life for us: and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren" (1 John 3:16).

"My little children, let us not love in word, neither in tongue; but in deed and in truth. And hereby we know that we are of the truth, and shall assure our hearts before him" (1 John 3:18-19).

"And he that keepeth his commandments dwelleth in him, and he in him. And hereby we know that he abideth in us, by the Spirit which he hath given us" (1 John 3:24).

"Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God" (1 John 4:2).

"We are of God: he that knoweth God heareth us; he that is not of God heareth not us. Hereby know we the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error" (1 John 4:6).

No need to be condesending.

As Dr. Phil would say, "When one chooses an action, they also choose the consequences."

Saints: only a partial list and of that, only from the new testament.

Acts 9:13, Acts 9:13, Acts 26:10, Romans 1:7, 1 Cor 1:2......i could go on.

Ok, OT: Psalm 106:16 (sanctified means saints)

Gus gets a pass in my book because of his preface:"a lot of folks down here on the Urthen....".

"That ol'debil got into me" is still pretty prevalent in certain circles. They could be right.

I think the ol'debil gets blamed for a lot of things that aint completely his fault.

In the parable of the seeds Satan is blamed only 25% of the time.

I have no doubt that we are our own worst enimies.

So you are a Pantheism?
