Okay, you got me curious now. How will it be enhanced?
You'll have true joy in your life. You won't care what will happen to you. God will bless you for things you do for Him. etc.
So how did you realise that there must be a God out there?
Most people put aside the thought of where everything originated from. Instead they're too busy with what they are doing in their lives. For myself, come to think of it, evolution would seem more far fetched than creationism. I pinch myself and think am I really real? Did life just appear out of no where? Look how far our civilization has come. We're going to the moon, visiting other planets, flying, traveling faster than sound travels. And then I think of evolution, and I think of the probabilities of how everything could have been made by chance. Not in our world, but EVERYTHING! Different universes, galaxies, the furthest planet from our own. It all functions by the same laws of gravity and physics. How on our planet we have a habitat/plants of the correct chemical composition to provide nutrients for us to survive. It's as if everything was made for us. The idea that this all happened by chance, is very, very, very far fetched.Then I look at a chance that there is a creator. I look at stories and accounts of miracles and supernatural things. Supernatural things happen during the presence of the Holy Spirit. And I compare creationism to the same as stated above about how things formed so perfectly. And it seems so much rational that a creator does exist.This is where I started experimenting with Christianity. If found it to be something different. The emptiness inside of me was replaced with the Holy Spirit. Something living. It was God.
How is it that because things are so perfectly put together, it couldn't be by chance? There could have been many mistakes before hand, things that didn't work together.
The real difference is that everything we have set IS perfect. Give me one thing that isn't perfect (other than death, duh, that can be explained through the Bible too). Physics is awesome. Thermal dynamics help us use energy. etc.What is better? Living the life thinking that we're here only reproduce, then we'll die. Or believing in a Creator. Having purpose in this life. And spending eternity with the Creator in the afterlife.
If you accept that the truth is too complex for our minds, does that mean that you're simply giving up on searching for the truth?
You can go ahead, but you'll have a massive headache.
So provide me with some proof.
Like archaeological accounts that help prove the Bible. For example, they believe they found Sodom and Gomorrah as well as Noah's ark. One recent archaeological find was an ancient Babylonian coin that had the name Nebuchadnezzar on it.
- Never doubted until about 2 years ago.- Always then felt I had a "connection" with him, I read the bible, lived my life as correctly as I could, of course I made mistakes, everyone does.- I was a Christian, believed in God, Jesus, Jesus was the son of God, Jesus was my Savior. Anything else you want me to expand upon you'll have to ask specifically as I'm not sure what you want from this question.
Have you been baptized in the Holy Spirit? It's like the next step from regular Christianity. It's not necessary to salvation, but if you want to experience the same things that Jesus or the Apostles of the early church did, then you get baptized in the Holy Spirit. That is where the supernatural stuff truly happens.
Note: Baptism in the Holy Spirit is different from being baptized in water.
