Do you see how adverse you are to saying "Lord Jesus, Come into my heart, Lord" ?
I am an atheist.

I think you yourself know that if you turned your heart over to Jesus Christ you could not remain the same.
I am not a Christian.

What evidence is there that "the Spirit is flowing as rivers of living water" in you?


The first evidence is that my deep inward thirst for real life is quenched.

"If anyone thirst, let him come to Me and drink."

How does this manifest itself here in your demeanour and behaviour?

You miss my point. The notion that I "know" that if I turned my "heart over to Jesus Christ" blah blah blah is daft. I am not a Christian.

One thing is it restrains me from bragging foolishly.

"Let another praise you and not your own mouth." Prov. 27:2 .

What evidence have you demonstrated that you want to see evidence of Christ living ?

It is so daft that you spend great amounts of your waking life here making sure you can rationalize away the Bible's words.

Never was so much effort spent on something so daft.

No need to brag. Just calmly explain what evidence there is that your deep inward thirst for life is quenched is manifesting itself here in your demeanour and behaviour. Surely "Jesus" can't be "flowing through" you and you can't be
becoming more like Jesus" without it affecting your evidence is that my deep inward thirst for life is quenched?

I have no intention or desire to become a Christian. If I did, I would spend my time on a Christian website.

I'd be talking to Jews and Muslims and Hindus here too if there were any posting.

I am not asking you to praise yourself. I am asking for unadorned and pragmatic evidence to substantiate your claims about yourself.

Folks the bottom line here I think, is that behind all creation, transcendent to the universe there IS Moral Perfection. A Perfect Person does exist. In fact in a real sense His existence is more real then anything else that exists.

That perfect person came to be among us. He came into space and time and was One walking among human beings.

"And the Word became flesh and tabernacled among us (and we beheld His glory, glory as of an only begotten from a father), full of grace and reality." (John 1:14)

Don't be discouraged by FMF's unbelieving obfuscation.
Read the Gospels - examine Jesus Christ ever so carefully.

He is too wonderful to not be true.
Jesus Christ is a believable Person - the Son of God.

There is no obfuscation on my part. I am being crystal clear and to the point. You claim this long dead man is "alive". You claim - because he is "available" to you - that you have spoken to him and he has spoken to you. You claim that he is "flowing through" you and that you "are becoming more like" him. But you offer not one jot of evidence of any of this.
