    Atheist objections to evidence for God's existence

    One thing at a time. You are under the wrong impression, under the impression that God and those who are His, are out to "win" souls; that history is what we choose, whether it be God or not. On the contrary, history is simply the revelation of what is, unfolded in story form. History is His...

    No one can see the Kingdom of God unless...

    Yeah, that's also what the fools, the atheists, and natural men say of God and those who come in His name. Go figure.

    I simply equated "forever" with "eternal" just as the scriptures do. You, on the other hand...are obviously just expressing your own understanding.

    Perhaps...but that does not mean that God has not been perfectly clear regarding the truth, and that what has been prepared for those who love Him, is beyond the imagination of natural men.

    I am. As for your understanding of the Holy Spirit...it is simply not biblical. Again, that is the problem here.

    I see the dictionary definition was of no help. It should have been. Nonetheless, it does show you wrong. As for your explanation, you are defining "forever" as if without Christ, and "eternal" as with Christ...as if those "in Christ" are not "One" with Him and God ("the same yesterday, today...

    Like many things, even a dictionary or lexicon, they are only so good. In other words, if you use the exaggeration of terms against that word being exaggerated, it has served no purpose because there is a lack of understanding. But if one understands that exaggeration words from God always fall...

    No one can see the Kingdom of God unless...

    It does not say that...that is just you talking, and adding your own interpretation to the word of God. Sorry, that is not allowed. I know it is your own...that is what I said. But matters of God are not open to one's own discretion. That's the problem here. As for me, it is the Spirit which...

    All three (yesterday, today, and forever) always "apply" when it comes to God. It is your explanation of "currently" and of "time" that does not properly define eternity. Your explanation and understanding, is as you said: "Forever in that context does not meant eternal." Which is simply...

    (Refuting) The (Original Sin) Doctrine!!

    Indeed, it is natural for us to view things that way...I mean as looking forward. But that is only because we have not seen the future. But if a man tells his story, does that mean it has not happened yet, or that it has? If we understand that God is the same yesterday, today, and forever, then...

    No...that is not the prophecy of Joel. You only assumed that the only ones who were mocked were "inspired men" "the apostles." But the prophecy that Peter confirmed on the day of Pentecost was that God would pour out His spirit upon "all flesh." As for discretion...you're not doing so well...

    Comprehension. One out of three is not good...certainly not correct. It reads "Jesus Christ the same yesterday, today, and forever." You only got one out of the three right...which makes you wrong.

    No one can see the Kingdom of God unless...

    You are being selective...but it makes a good example of your complete error: By naming the apostles as having "proved their inspiration", but leaving out the multitudes present on the day of Pentecost, you show yourself to be like those "mocking" who said, “They are full of new...

    And, yes, again you show yourself and your lack of knowledge. What I quoted is only said of God who is eternal...duh, "forever" means eternal.

    No one can see the Kingdom of God unless...

    Then you have departed from or do not know the scriptures: Hebrews 13:8 "Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever."

    No one can see the Kingdom of God unless...

    Indeed, fantasizing is not good, and I for one will affirm there is too much of it. But it is wrong to categorically dismiss any great amount in these days of which Joel spoke and prophesied the pouring out of God's spirit upon all flesh (not just some, not just at Pentecost, but "all"), which...

    No one can see the Kingdom of God unless...

    If you spoke only of what is phony and irresponsible, perhaps that would be different. But you have categorically spoken against God's own modus operandi for revelations. 2 Peter 1:21 "for prophecy never came by the will of man, but holy men of God spoke as they were moved by the Holy Spirit."...

    No one can see the Kingdom of God unless...

    Okay, so I backtracked, and this (above) explains a lot about what you do and do not believe or have knowledge of. That kind of thinking is exactly what caused God's people to kill the prophets and those sent to them from God. Not having their own personal experience and encounter with God...

    Your own plausible notions are obviously human logic, the study and teachings of men. "The Jews & Muslims" probably deny that Jesus came to and appeared to men behind locked doors too.

    No...this is wrong, not biblical. You are categorically denying the "I am" of Christ, who was "before" Abraham.
