By the idea(s) which might be presumptions, I mean those statements.In truth, you cannot prove anything about God, Jesus, the gospel, etc. God has made that a certainty. If He wanted us to be able to prove anything about Him, He could have done that quite easily; but, He did not. He has made everything known about Himself conditioned upon faith. He has, by way of the Bible, given us everything necessary to believe in Him, i.e., to have faith in Him. But God has not given us anything that we can use to prove anything about Him. Faith is the key. Everything depends upon faith. If we could prove anything about God, we really wouldn't need faith.
Idea I already have about what?Question the idea you already have to see if it’s presumed… if interested more in what is true, than the idea.

Knowing the truth and proving it are two completely different things. God has given us, in His written word, all we need to come to a belief in Him as written. However, none of that constitutes proof of even the existence of God. I believe that is on purpose. Faith, not proof, is key. God has established His kingdom for those who willingly choose to love Him (Matt 22:37).These ideas.
It is entirely possible to find out the actual, absolute truth.
‘Knowing the truth’ isn’t a thing, as in an object. ‘Proving the truth isn’t a thing’, as in an object.Knowing the truth and proving it are two completely different things.

Believing is the key. It may be the actual, absolute truth, but you cannot prove it. I believe without a doubt that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of the Living God. I believe that is the absolute truth, but there is no way that I can prove it.There’s nothing wrong with believing… and… it is entirely possible to find out the actual, absolute truth.
I’m not suggesting the truth can be proven by or to anyone, nor any presumptions about us, only that one can in fact find out the actual, absolute truth.Believing is the key.

In the account of Doubting Thomas, when Thomas was given proof that it was Jesus, Jesus replied, "Have you believed because you have seen me? Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed." In other words what was proven to Thomas because he saw and experienced firsthand. That is no possible for us.
We can all be better at witnessing. My Pastor said if you are going to witness for God, make sure you are a good witness.I believe I was very even handed.
I don't know. Why are you asking me?Has anyone ever converted to Atheism and got delivered from drugs, healed from an illness or turned their life around?
OK, but the OP was asking about proving with evidence.I’m not suggesting the truth can be proven by or to anyone, nor any presumptions about us, only that one can in fact find out the actual, absolute truth.
What isn’t evidence.OK, but the OP was asking about proving with evidence.
Of course it was. You just failed to end it with a question mark.It wasn’t a question.
What is a self referential thought.Of course it was. You just failed to end it with a question mark.
