When I was working construction (concrete forms) in the summers while in school I had an accident that could have easily cost me an eye. we stored our metal rods (about two feet long and 5/8" diameter) in the racks under the front of the gooseneck trailers. We used two stakes in the vertical position to allow us to overload the racks. I was leaning under the gooseneck and pulling on one of the vertical stakes (something we did all the time) when it broke loose and the butt end hit me directly between my eyes with enough force to split the skin open. I ended up with about 5 stiches (fairly minor), but it would have hit a half inch to either side I would have lost an eye. God was looking (pun intended) our for me.
I had a friend who belived in god,said god would awnser prayers,,I called B.S,,I told him there was no god...I told him to eat a hand full of rat poison and pray that he would live,,,he is now dead,,,there is no god..
also, one of Gods largest gifts to us is the freedom of choice, we do not HAVE to beleive in him on earth, but eventually, all will in the end
So death determines that there is no God? God does answer prayer, he may not answer all prayers, and he may not answer the way that we would like them to be answered, but he does answer prayer. Everyone dies, God's existence doesnt determine that, He just determines whether you go to Heaven or Hell when you die
Easy BD, God answers ALL prayer, but the possible answers are yes, no, wait or sometimes something that we can't see.Like crawlerdan I believe that everyone will believe in God in the end. At the risk of spoiling a future topic (that we discussed on PM) I believe that at Christ's 2nd coming he will only raise the righteous people from the grave and the rest will die. The righteous will be in heaven for 1000 years reviewing the "records" of those that were not saved proving the justice of God. After the 1000 years the Holy City will decent on the earth and everyone remaining on the earth will be raised to meet their creator. In some way God will reveal the truth to everyone and the people outside the city will worship him as a just God before they are destroyed. I don't believe that we have to fear eternal punishment for not believing in God, but we should be prepared to meet Him face to face.I'm not sure if this is crawlerdan's perspective, but I would guess that his is similar.
