The arguments & proof requests for god are incoherent contradictions

Anyone who takes pride in their critical thinking skills ...won’t notice. Pride being birthed out of vanity and we know where that comes from...

Was just talking with my daughter about “selfies”... how now one can be in a complete melt down or mental breakdown or in a serious conversation and there is a pause...hair flips and lips pucker as a fish; turning for the right angle to fully capture the beauty...cell phones begin a clicking ...as if contagious others follow suit “oh a selfie moment!” then back to reality. In where this world is headed toward “futility”...is enough proof of God. Romans 8:20 For the creature was made subject to vanity, not willingly, but by reason of him who hath subjected the same in hope,

John 1:9-10 That was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world. [10] He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not.

Bull. “so by definition, omniscience cannot be known”

 

@VictoryinJesus Hi there; yes, this is searching. I guess more broadly for anyone working in photography, or clothes stores, or cosmetology, or different forms of the art industry, or tattoo parlors (the list is long), one has to pay a certain attention to one's personal image, or to helping others to pay attention to theirs. But yes, it's important inwardly and spiritually to keep self in check.

 

I think Hebrews 11.6 is a good yardstick...

 

Romans 8:20 For the creature was made subject to vanity, not willingly, but by reason of him who hath subjected the same in hope,

Do not see how skeptics can deny there is vanity, futility, emptiness, and all are under the bondage of death.

“So this vain world of the ubiquitous selfie is this way to give us hope?”

We all have tasted of emptiness. It is weird: skeptics may say God is futile, Wasted time and not a tangible hope, even a foolish hope. Futile and pointless. All the while not seeing they have it backwards and what they hope in won’t last. Skeptics may say how can anyone have faith in a God who is invisible? but we have seen Him. Galatians 5:22-23 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, [23] Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.

 

Which should give us pause at the warning of Jesus when He said of those who don't believe, I never knew you. It isn't about us knowing God, its about us being real and honest before the God who knows us.

 

See your point.

 

“I never knew you” can also be seen as a beautiful promise in God said He will remember our inquiries no more. All things becoming New...the worker of iniquity cut away and departed (divided asunder)from Him. The fullness of His words in God says what He means, and means what He says “I never knew you.”

The thief on the cross said “remember me” to Christ. The goats and the sheep seen there in the exchange between the two with Him in crucifixion. One departs ...and is forgotten. Too many references to “remember” here is are only a few:

Nehemiah 13:14 Remember me, O my God, concerning this, and wipe not out my good deeds that I have done for the house of my God, and for the offices thereof.

Nehemiah 13:31 And for the wood offering, at times appointed, and for the firstfruits. Remember me, O my God, for good.

Psalm 79:8-9 O remember not against us former iniquities: let thy tender mercies speedily prevent us: for we are brought very low. [9] Help us, O God of our salvation, for the glory of thy name: and deliver us, and purge away our sins, for thy name's sake.

“Purge away our sins” then hear “depart, I never knew you who works iniquity” in He is able to purge His floor and gather His wheat.

So yes: rather to be known of God. Which, for me, goes back to Emptiness or futility that is forgotten or “remember me”: Romans 8:19-21 For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God. [20] For the creature was made subject to vanity, not willingly, but by reason of him who hath subjected the same in hope, [21] Because the creature itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God.

Psalm 25:7-9 Remember not the sins of my youth, nor my transgressions: according to thy mercy remember thou me for thy goodness' sake, O Lord. [8] Good and upright is the Lord : therefore will he teach sinners in the way. [9] The meek will he guide in judgment: and the meek will he teach his way.

Isn’t that what we desire...for others to be known of God and remembered for His goodness’ sake? Isn’t their being known of God freedom from emptiness and futility?

 

What a searching chapter Romans 8 is!

 

One who demands proof of ANYTHING, is not the measure of what is true and what is not.

It is rather an admission of their own ignorance.

 

Anyone who makes a claim about facts should be prepared to provide evidence to support there claim.
If one claims there is a God. One must be prepared to provide evidence.
If one claims there is no God one must be prepared to provide evidence.
It is how debate works.

 

Hebrews 11.6 sums up the question...

 

nice imo
all the gods i know have fallen
i guess negative entropy is pretty hard to dismiss, though
