Where is God?

As a half-brother of Jesus, James said, "Faith without works is dead."

You did not pick up on the word "love" - a very powerful force indeed.

I do not know what the ultimate reason that he turned to Christ, but the
initial turn appears to me to be his love for his daughter and when she
interpreted the sign different than what he had meant, he became to
emotional to tell here of his true intentions. Maybe it was not wanting
her to be disappointed in him that was the real reason, I don't really
know. I can only speculate.

But that's not how it goes in the real world. You have scores of people who fervently pray and you know what? They die anyway. They die at the same rate and under the same circumstances as everyone else. The universe behaves exactly as if there were no god.

On the contrary. The universe behaves exactly the way God causes it to behave. The problem with those who deny the existence of God is that they think man has nothing to say about it.

Everyone prays not to die when struck with life threatening situations. It is man's fault that life threatening situations exist. Failure to acknowledge that fact is the cause of further confusion.

There are no guarantees for anyone, except of eternal life when this one is over.

And this is why you will never receive your precious proof.

You must come to Him through faith. Any other path is useless. Your decision must be your own free will choice, so that you cannot claim that you were tricked into rejecting Him.

Release yourself from your pride. It is what condemns you.

but even if you go to god with your heart open, you still dont know because there are lots of people of other faiths that have turned to god. somebody somewhere is deluded. there is no way of telling who's right and who's wrong until after death.
you maybe proven right, but right now you have no way of knowing for a 100% that you are right.

wish to be true.

you are right, scientists dont know 100%, thats why its called a theory. they have done millions of tests, they have collected data, samples and experiments. they have watched nature in actions, they have recreated it labs and all the information seems to point in the same direction. so they are almost sure that it is correct, but it is still just a theory.

I would have a lot more respect for a christian who said they THINK god exists, rather than they KNOW.....i guess that means i should call myself an agnostic.
