Teamventure, Hi, I have spent much time studying the arguements of atheists, pagans and such, in an effort to be able to prove God exists. Because some of these friends I would rather see in Heaven than Hell. Often the best I can arrive at is proving thier belief invalid. Although within a rational mind, proving their beliefs in error should suffice, it rarely does as they go head-on into simple denial. God's Word tells us to let those that wish to walk in darkness, remain there, and I see allot of just that. However, God's Word also tells us to let our light shine. I considered both of these points and concluded, letting our light shine super-seeds allowing them to remain in darkness. (of course these were not written verbatium).
Now, there has been successes, usually for fence walkers, nnut it still has worked. Although it takes prescedence there is a point of futility - casting your pearls before swine. With this, I continue until I realize my strife is futile at best.
Personally, I belive Christian campaigning to prove God, could stop Tribulations, but in the end, it will not, yet I continue with; love thy neighbor.
