I was exposed to that and much more . We have to remember something .He has made Himself real to me before but yet still I doubt and probably because of the fact that I've been exposed to things like the big bang theory in school and that's where the doubts in the back of my mind come from. Now, deep down I do not believe for a second that everything in the world today was made from one big old fart in the universe and that everything came from nothing because that sounds absolutely absurd.
Also, if we evolved out of chimpanzees then why isn't that still happening? However, I do believe that Adam and Eve could have looked more like cavemen and we've evolved since then and God caused the big bang, but surprisingly enough there are people who believe that it happened by itself. At least I know I have more faith in Christ than to believe all that nonsense.
I was exposed to that and much more . We have to remember something .
Things like big bang are from the minds of carnal man . They just men . But the words which proceed from GOD , are FROM GOD
and can be only spiritually understood . Feast on that bible sister .
Like a two week starved man on a big mac . Men can often seem and sound so wise , and yet
the carnal mind is only the carnal mind . I was exposed to many teachings of men . But praise GOD
i was later exposed to the HOLY GHOST . WHich put me in ONE BOOK , a love of truth upon my heart .
Today we have more opinions than ever . But the truth will be found of those whose hearts have been made open by GOD unto the truth
and the love of truth . Real simply really . Let us return to the wonderful and beautiful pages of our bible .
Watch how fast our mind gets built up by sound doctrine . Feast sister . feast as though the bible is a banquet .
IT IS . My advice read the KJV . you are loved dear sister .
Mantis, I knew I liked you for a reason! We seem to have much in common.Nope, he revealed himself to me. He is real and there is nothing anyone could say to change my mind. Now if you believe without hearing him or meeting him then your reward in heaven may be great as you have stronger faith then those whom he has been revealed.
Praise God!Mantis, I knew I liked you for a reason! We seem to have much in common.
I remember back in my 12-step days when people would say, "the God of your understanding."
I'd counter with, "God, as He has revealed himself to me."
Awesome is God, God is awesome, awesome is God.
How awesome is He that He sets us free.
Basically, 12-bar in "A."

No, God has revealed himself to me on a few occasions. He will reveal himself to you when he wants to. Sounds like you're having trials of faith. If you win it is more likely he will reveal himself. Cheers!As much as I love Jesus Christ and long to serve Him the rest of my days here on earth and want to spend eternity with Him I still have these same thoughts sometimes. "What if He isn't real?" "I can't see Him or touch Him and I've never been to Heaven so what if this life is all there is?" "What if He sees me doubting Him and I can't be with Him in Heaven then?" These thoughts bother me and upset me so much that I finally saw this article and I felt a little bit better. Anyways, anybody else here ever feel like you won't have enough faith to get into Heaven? Cause I already know that if I wasn't saved, I wouldn't be so worried about my salvation, but I have nearly made myself sick about this before when I have these worrisome thoughts. Sometimes I'm even afraid of losing my faith.

Obviously LOL
I've seen the father in spirit and body, once he appeared in spirit in my room with intense fruits of the spirit (Galatians 5:22-25), and also a Universe body from a distance of beyond the stars made of grey metal. So he blessed me as such. And taught me to worship Jesus.God revealing Himself...can be construed to mean a Material Sighting with Human Eyes.
I believe God is too Holy to be Physically Materially SEEN by corrupt Human Eyes.
However I have Witnessed on numerous occasions The Lord Gods Revealing Results of His Power and Works ... His Answers for dilemmas men face.
John 5:
[37] And the Father himself, which hath sent me, hath borne witness of me. Ye have neither heard his voice at any time, nor seen his shape.
Glory to God,

Relying on the conclusions and opinions of others without being proactive in the search for what is right and what is wrong will surely end in confusion with a lack of surety and peace.Here, I just copied and pasted this from a PM that I had because it's a really good question in my mind even though I still consider myself to be a strong believer. It was my own question btw.
I guess my main problem is more so is that how do I know what is real and what is not when there are so many different arguments that support different positions of how we came into existence?
so many different arguments
One thing I understand from seeing God and reading Genesis is that his spirit is powerful enough to create the universe from bending space-time. I ran a calculation once, if all the mass of a 150 pound man was converted into an atomic bomb it would be 1,500 mega ton explosive. That's how powerful God is, just to create a 150 pound person, to contain 1,500 mega tons of explosive force, then imagine our planet, then sun, and stars, all from the force of his spirit. Hope that is understandable.Here, I just copied and pasted this from a PM that I had because it's a really good question in my mind even though I still consider myself to be a strong believer.

I suppose that you could come up with all kinds of reasons why I am not a real person...like...maybe I'm A.I. or a group of people...or...an alien...
...a smiling green...alien...
Wait, are you my long-lost brother or something? What planet do you come from?
Have you read Gideons300 thread, 'A last word spoken in love and tears' ? He addresses the struggles God's people face....well worth the read.You know it's sort of funny that all this time I was afraid to be asking these questions because I was afraid that God would be mad at me if I did. Like I said before though, I don't think Jesus will punch me in the gut for asking these questions. If I didn't have faith I wouldn't be doubting it in the first place since you can't really doubt something that you don't have.
