It's insane, really. Just because you feel love does not mean that it's some kind of entity outside of you. It just means that you feel love, that's all. Just because you want a purpose does not mean that some entity gave one to you. It just means that you feel the need to have one.

Yea, and why is her position difficult? Maybe because she has no good explanations or evidence for the reasoning of her beliefs? Atheists don't find their position difficult. I could debate a pastor and not feel like I was in a difficult position, because I could back up what I say with reasoning, logic and evidence. I too give her credit for calling in and putting her ignorance on display for all to see. Faith is a realm of ignorance, there is no truth or wisdom to be found in such a place only ignorance. The path to truth is littered with the bodies of the ignorant, and the path to Atheist is littered with bibles. Ignorance is not just what you don't know, it is also what you won't know. Her problem isn't that she doesn't know, it's because she won't know. That's why her argument sounds foolish.

This is, hands down, one of the saddest calls. This lady seems nice and well-meaning, but her mind has been so thoroughly poisoned. She can't stay on a subject, answer a question, follow a line of reasoning, etc...

Huxxy no it’s definitely brainwashing and poisoning. If someone grows up being told, and believing, that every unexplainable thing is attributed to god, versus someone that grew up never even hearing the term “god” (which is practically impossible nowadays) , when both of those people experience something unexplainable, the religious person will automatically gravitate towards god, and the person who has never even heard the term god will not assume some higher power/creator is the cause. the brainwashed will ALWAYS go back to their belief and faith to explain things, because that’s all they know and all they were taught. Much the same if you teach a monkey from when it’s an infant, that a certain sign means it’s food time, and then another monkey that never is taught this, when the sign is shown, the one monkey that was taught will think it’s food time and become excited (even if you don’t feed it), and the other will simply wait for it’s food, disregarding the sign.

@loveandfaithfulness4479

@@TheFirstAtom First of all, Islam did not exist during the time of the Old or New Testaments, so no specific mention was made in the Bible about it. However, that being said, there were lots of false religions mentioned in the Bible, and the Ten Commandments - particularly the first, Exodus 20:3 “Thou shalt have no other gods before me.” He was to be the only God worshiped! Deuteronomy 18:18-22 "I will raise up for them a prophet like you from among their brothers. And I will put my words in his mouth, and he shall speak to them all that I command him. And whoever will not listen to my words that he shall speak in my name, I myself will require it of him. But the prophet who presumes to speak a word in my name that I have not commanded him to speak, or who speaks in the name of other gods, that same prophet shall die.’ And if you say in your heart, ‘How may we know the word that the LORD has not spoken?’- when a prophet speaks in the name of the Lord, if the word does not come to pass or come true, that is a word that the Lord has not spoken; the prophet has spoken it presumptuously. You need not be afraid of him." This is how you can recognize the Spirit Of God: every spirit that acknowledges [not only intellectually because we are told that the demons know and tremble at the fact: James 2:19] but publically confesses], that Jesus Christ has come [understood: as God in flesh - John 1:14] And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we have seen his glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth. 1 John 4:2-3 "Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, for many false prophets have gone out into the world. By this you know the Spirit of God: every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God, and every spirit that does not confess Jesus is not from God. This is the spirit of the antichrist, which you heard was coming and now is in the world already." looking at what Islam and other religions believe regarding Jesus. If they reject Jesus as God come in the flesh, the Bible gives them no validity. The Bible says that there will be false teachers who come and mix the truth with lies and that we should watch out for these types of people. God asks in the Bible why people would worship things of nature ( such as trees) why they used part of it for fire and made a image out of the other half and then proceeded to worship the image that they made themselves. The Bible says that the laws given were made so that we could see that we are incapable of following all of the laws and that we are all in need of a Savior. I don't think the Bible mentions any other religions by name, just addresses the ideas behind the other religions. The Bible does address Baal and Beelzebub. In the plagues that God sends to the Egyptian people to get Pharoh to let the Israelites go, he specifically has curses that attack the man made deities of the Egyptians. God is always wanting to show people that He is the One true God and wanting people to turn from their ways of bowing down before false gods. The Bible tells us that the one and only way to salvation is to trust Jesus Christ alone to save us.

@@mystique6068 When people say they do not know God, it is not because God has failed to reveal himself, or that God’s revelation is not clear enough. Rather, their ignorance of God is something they have done to themselves. They are lying to themselves, trying to convince themselves that God does not exist or that he is obscure, while all the time God is watching them. I Could Place hundreds of Quotations that clearly prove that their is a God in heaven, But as he has stated his handy work is seen in his creation... The Word of God is the only Truth and the only hope to obtaining a peaceful life with the one true living God. It is sharing all the wonderful things God has done for us a saved sinner. Those of us who have grown up in the teachings of the Lord our God have departed our rebellious years, feeling bulletproof and wise in our own understanding. Hebrews 11:1-3 "Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen. For by it the people of old received their commendation. By faith we understand that the universe was created by the word of God, so that what is seen was not made out of things that are visible." The word “Faith” means different things to different people and sadly, many people use it as a negative, disparaging term to describe anyone who believes blindly in God. But is this the kind of faith God desires for us to have? Is our faith really to be blind, without true understanding? If you look into the verse above, the writer of Hebrews will point out examples of believers who demonstrated real, saving faith in God. Each example of faith demonstrates trust, based on what that person knew and held as reassurance that God would act according to His promises. The "assurance" and "conviction" of faith is not blind belief, or gullibility, or wishful thinking or feelings. The characters mentioned in this chapter shows that they all had good reasons to trust in God. Their "faith" was not naively accepting fairy tales; it was acting in full confidence that God would do as He had promised, based on those experiences. Faith is so important because it is the means by which we have a relationship with God. This definition of faith contains intellectual assent and trust. Intellectual assent is believing something to be true. Trust is actually relying on the fact that the something is true. Understanding these two aspects of faith is crucial. Many people believe certain facts about Jesus Christ. Many people will intellectually agree with the facts the Bible declares about Jesus. But knowing those facts to be true is not what the Bible means by “faith.” The biblical definition of faith requires intellectual assent to the facts and trust in the facts. We must personally and fully rely on the death of Christ as the atoning sacrifice for our sins. We are expected to act in faith on God’s promises just as Abraham did, but we do that from a position of trust based on all the knowledge we have of God. Abraham followed God’s order based on his faith that God would keep His promise to raise up a nation through Isaac. Abraham had learned that God would keep His promises through a lifetime of walking with God, so this was a reasoned and informed faith. There will be times in our walk with God that we will act purely on faith because we do not have the whole picture, as in the case of Abraham. However this faith is not blind; it is based on knowledge of God’s nature and character, His promises in the Scriptures, and our personal experience walking with God every day. Faith and doubt exist on a spectrum, like light and darkness. As faith grows stronger, doubt vanishes. Let us all place our faith in God alone so that we would be strong in the Lord and ready to battle against the doubts planted by the enemy. Lord, increase our Faith! Galatians 2:20 "I have been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me. And the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me."

16:02 She really does think that going to a few Christian churches is the same thing as studying various religions across the world. It's staggering.

There was a woman who went to my mother’s church who was extremely religious. It was her only motivation. She had a severely disabled child (roughly 16-20 at the time of this story). She had never worked and the boy’s father took off before he was born. She was 100% dependent on government support. She decided that god wanted her to have a specific house that was several orders of magnitude outside of what she could afford. She put an offer in (asking price), and then put through the payment. She sincerely believed that god would put the money into her bank account. …. The payment bounced and someone else got the house.

Birth does feel like a “miracle.” In unmedicated birth, the mother is naturally flooded with oxytocin and other love hormones. Others present often catch the mood. Maybe what is identified as a “miracle” is an event or moment in which we feel great love, gratitude, or in another way connected to something greater than our ordinary everyday lives.

Humility is the key to oneness with God. Consequently, it is also the key to oneness with our brethren. God's way of achieving oneness is for each person to be so attuned to God that he is motivated to do everything possible to ensure that the relationship (with God or fellow man) is not only unbroken, but constantly becoming ever closer. Humility is what impresses God. Pride gets between us and God, and without realizing it, we actually shut Him out of our lives. The Bible clearly shows that our spiritual well-being is dependent upon acknowledging, with our lives, our reliance upon the revealed will of God-His Word.
