Agnostic, your looking for proof here it is. The first importance delivered to us by an eye witness who once not only doubted as you do but also persecuted the church. I point this out so one, you know what is of first importance and two so that you can see there is hope for you and for all nonbelievers. 1 Corinthians 15:3-10 3 For I delivered to you as of first importance what I also received, that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, 4 and that He was buried, and that He was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures, 5 and that He appeared to Cephas, then to the twelve. 6 After that He appeared to more than five hundred brethren at one time, most of whom remain until now, but some have fallen asleep; 7 then He appeared to James, then to all the apostles; 8 and last of all, as to one untimely born, He appeared to me also. 9 For I am the least of the apostles, and not fit to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God. 10 But by the grace of God I am what I am, and His grace toward me did not prove vain; but I labored even more than all of them, yet not I, but the grace of God with me. Also, you may want to read the book of Ecclesiastes. This is a good example of someone that had it all and spent his time searching for meaning. His discoveries along the way and in the end should help clear things up for you. You have attempted to make a point about what an Agnostic is. The truth is, it does not matter which one you are, agnostic or atheist. A nonbeliever is a nonbeliever. It doesn't even matter how good or moral a nonbeliever might be. Many tend to think atheist and agnostics are bad people. Some are and some are not. At least from man's point of view. The point is neither will be saved without accepting Christ. In case your interested in how to receive Christ as your Lord and Saviour, read Romans 10:9. I pray you do this! PS. There is no safety in the middle. Revelation 3:16 So because you are lukewarm, and neither hot nor cold, I will spit you out of My mouth. And yes, I believe in God and I believe that Jesus died on the cross for our sins and that the only way to be saved is through Him. I believe this because of what we are taught through God's word and it has been confirmed to me through the complete change in me that has taken place after accepting Christ as my Lord and Saviour. I believe this because of the void inside everyone of us without Christ was filled and made complete in me the day I accepted Christ. |

"Agnostic, your looking for proof here it is." I'm not expressly looking for you to prove anything to me. I'm just looking for the basis of your beliefs. - "The first importance delivered to us by an eye witness who once not only doubted as you do but also persecuted the church. I point this out so one, you know what is of first importance and two so that you can see there is hope for you and for all nonbelievers." Is the Bible then the basis for your belief in the existence of God? - "1 Corinthians 15:3-10 3 For I delivered to you as of first importance what I also received, that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, 4 and that He was buried, and that He was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures, 5 and that He appeared to Cephas, then to the twelve. 6 After that He appeared to more than five hundred brethren at one time, most of whom remain until now, but some have fallen asleep; 7 then He appeared to James, then to all the apostles; 8 and last of all, as to one untimely born, He appeared to me also. 9 For I am the least of the apostles, and not fit to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God. 10 But by the grace of God I am what I am, and His grace toward me did not prove vain; but I labored even more than all of them, yet not I, but the grace of God with me." These verses reference the resurrection of Jesus, but they do not reference the existence of God. - "Also, you may want to read the book of Ecclesiastes. This is a good example of someone that had it all and spent his time searching for meaning. His discoveries along the way and in the end should help clear things up for you." Thank you. I have read the book of Ecclesiastes, but I'm not into loose living as King Solomon was. Further, King Solomon's loose living came after his belief in God, as opposed to beforehand. King Solomon turned away from God in the end. 1 Kings 11 1 Now King Solomon loved many foreign women along with the daughter of Pharaoh: Moabite, Ammonite, Edomite, Sidonian, and Hittite women, 2 from the nations concerning which the LORD had said to the sons of Israel, "You shall not associate with them, nor shall they associate with you, for they will surely turn your heart away after their gods." Solomon held fast to these in love. 3 He had seven hundred wives, princesses, and three hundred concubines, and his wives turned his heart away. 4 For when Solomon was old, his wives turned his heart away after other gods; and his heart was not wholly devoted to the LORD his God, as the heart of David his father had been. 5 For Solomon went after Ashtoreth the goddess of the Sidonians and after Milcom the detestable idol of the Ammonites. 6 Solomon did what was evil in the sight of the LORD, and did not follow the LORD fully, as David his father had done. 7 Then Solomon built a high place for Chemosh the detestable idol of Moab, on the mountain which is east of Jerusalem, and for Molech the detestable idol of the sons of Ammon. 8 Thus also he did for all his foreign wives, who burned incense and sacrificed to their gods. (NAS95) King Solomon was rejected forever according to the texts. 1 Chronicles 28 9 "As for you, my son Solomon, know the God of your father, and serve Him with a whole heart and a willing mind; for the LORD searches all hearts, and understands every intent of the thoughts. If you seek Him, He will let you find Him; but if you forsake Him, He will reject you forever. (NAS95) - "You have attempted to make a point about what an Agnostic is. The truth is, it does not matter which one you are, agnostic or atheist. A nonbeliever is a nonbeliever. It doesn't even matter how good or moral a nonbeliever might be. Many tend to think atheist and agnostics are bad people. Some are and some are not. At least from man's point of view. The point is neither will be saved without accepting Christ." What would I need to be saved from? King Solomon's eternal fate? - "In case your interested in how to receive Christ as your Lord and Saviour, read Romans 10:9. I pray you do this!" Thank you. I have read it. - "PS. There is no safety in the middle. Revelation 3:16 So because you are lukewarm, and neither hot nor cold, I will spit you out of My mouth." Too bad for King Solomon. - "And yes, I believe in God and I believe that Jesus died on the cross for our sins and that the only way to be saved is through Him. I believe this because of what we are taught through God's word and it has been confirmed to me through the complete change in me that has taken place after accepting Christ as my Lord and Saviour. I believe this because of the void inside everyone of us without Christ was filled and made complete in me the day I accepted Christ." Thank you. |

Your mistaken on several of your statements. You have been presented with the truth in God's word. Keep seeking and you will find Him. I suggest you read the scriptures again. As you do, ask yourself who resurrected Jesus? Also, look again at Solomon's conclusion in Chapter 12. You need to be saved from an eternity in hell separated from God. Suggest you continue to read Romans 10:9 until you understand it and accept it. Solomon should not be your concern. Your own salvation and the salvation of others should be. Thank you for allowing me to share God's word with you. I have nothing on my own to offer you that will convince you. Therefore, I give to you something neither you or me can change or defeat. The very word of God! The proof is in your comments / statements to everyone that shared God's truth with you to answer your questions. It cannot be disputed so you have to come up with a different question each time. I guess to a nonbeliever this may seem to prove their point. Compared to the word of God, if falls short. It's sad that you can't see that. Since you have not done so well accepting the truth given to you on this forum. Challenge yourself and instead of spending your time trying to prove God exist, prove that He doesn't. May God have mercy on you! I pray for you and I pray that if it's the Fathers will, you will be saved. And just so you know, Christ died on the cross for you, he rose again and now sits at the right hand of the Father. He has paid the price so you don't have to. The very God you deny, has provided the perfect sacrifice that you may live for an eternity with Him instead of an eternity separated from Him. |
