What do you mean? Jesus and God are one, so if you accept Jesus, you will know in your heart their is a God.

jesus and god may be one to you but dont be mistaken jesus is not one with God in EVERY religion...

me im not muslim cristian, or what so ever. but i do believe that there is something that started all this. and something that watches over us...i do not believe in some being that has special powers and can zap ppl.

btw...some things dont have to exist to be there...if the majority of the ppl on earth believe in a God than it does exist...just not in a physical way...

Well then, quit reading it.

And if you want it to die, the dumbest thing you can do is to bump it to the top.

Oh yeah,

BUMP.

Either you believe in JEsus they way the Bible teaches or you do not truly believe in Him at all. Just becuase the mjority believe it does not make it true, its through faith and acceptance that it becomes true.

Whether this thread is bumped or not, at 17 pages, it has really run out of content.

A lot has been said, I think a lot of good things and only one or two bad things, and that has to be good.

Be it far from my place to command the end of this discussion, but reading the last two pages can anyone honestly say it's getting anywhere?

Yeh, I know I've added exactly nothng to it with this post, but I felt I had to point that out biggrin:

Uhhh no, its not matter of how hard you believe in JEsus, its by accepting Jesus that you get in your heart the knowledge that God does exsist. Jesus and God are one, you either believe in how the Bible tells you, or you are not beliving in the true God, you may not like it, but thats how it is.

I still don't understand...how can accepting something make it real

Winston accepted that 2+2=5 by the end of the book 1984...clearly that isn't true...he is just told to believe it is true.

Im right only becuase God is, I the fact I know Him, and so can you.


[quote:eb4b1]Wow... that is a very dangerous idea: you must be easily manipul...

ME, I am a very skeptical person, but I do know there is a God in my hart becuase I have faith and have accepted Him.

[quote:eb4b1]I still don't understand...how can accepting something make it real [/quote:eb4b1]

Just becuase you accept it does not make it real, but when you do accept Jesus you know there is a God, God is real already so its not whether or not you accet Him that makes Him real, Christians have a sense that God is there, and with them, and you can have this to by accepting Christ. :)
