General - Is there a god? - View Post

But a God who is not proven in all things is not God at all. What God would not instill in all his creation his own mark of Creation? Throughout humanity, people have realized there is a God not only because they don't understand why certain things happen, but because the whole concept of the Universe is void without something Divine. The Love of Jesus Christ however is spread by Faith. The reason why Jesus had his disiples and why he called upon Saul/Paul is because a Christian is given to the world the continue God's plan. So yes, Jesus Christ is the way, but what of before Christ? What of theose who have not yet heard of the Christ? Are they utterly damned to Hell? No, because God doesn't work that way. He loves all men and salvation for them is given through Christ but not by the way of the book.

 ....

First I want to say men don't get in touch with God for being "good". Now about getting in contact with God, this too me is a foolish point. It is because people don't believe they can get in touch with God or that they don't believe in God or that people don't know what to do if they were in touch with God. It is because of Jesus Christ that humans have the gift of prayer. Everyone can get in touch with God, so i have trouble understanding your point. And please, do not blaspheme the spirit of God. That is a sin that Jesus says is unforgivible (if one truly believed in thier hearts that God is an evil spirit)

 Point 1

1.  If there is a divine force the concept of the universe is not "void"

2.  People feel that the universe is not "void"

3.  Therefore there is a divine force (i.e God)

 
Non sequitur

 Point 2

The gift of prayer is from Jesus Christ?  Then prayer was not available before Jesus? 

 

 Point 3

 An all-powerful God will not forgive those who speak ill of him?  Why when making God the fountain of such love did you stop there? Is God's love greater than any other kind?  If so do you imagine the Buddha would not forgive someone who spoke ill of him?
