You can believe this but you cannot prove it to the satisfaction of anyone else. You cannot reach out and grab some God flesh for us to see. You can SAY "But look at the world!" However there are many possible explanations for that, secular and in other religions. You cannot make God speak to us. Oh you can SAY "He is speaking to you, all you have to do is listen." But people all over the world listen to their inner voice- and they call it many different things. Having an inner voice goes nowhere to proving anything, except that people have an interior mental life- or some of them do. You cannot prove the existence of God by your book, because your book was written by men. Of course they CLAIM to have been divinely inspired, but really, how do we know? We don't. You take it on FAITH, and lots of other people don't. And actually we don't even know WHICH men wrote it. But we have some clues about the errors in it. Your book combined with historical record only proves that for some time a certain portion of the population of this planet has used your book for various and sundry religions we can subsume under the heading of "Christianity". There are of course OTHER books in other religions, and they come to much the same thing.
Perhaps you should say : I BELIEVE God created the universe, I BELIEVE God is all powerful, all-knowing, I believe he is Holy and the heavens
are not even clean in his sight yet a fool has the audacity to think he ought to be
replaced? (although I haven't a shred of evidence for any of this) |
