Prove The Bible is the Word of God

I already told you of a mountain I moved in my financial struggle. I tried what the bible said, and doubted nothing, and it worked!

No. You probably cannot. You and every single human on the face of the earth have at least a tiny bit of doubt.

No one gets prayers answered who doubts the least bit. Only when I doubted nothing I got prayers answered and wonders occurred.

See? Your very overall concept saying EVERYONE HAS DOUBT is totally defeating your ability to see the proof.

Apparently. Otherwise, there'd be such miracles that nobody could deny them.

I have seen miracles I could not deny and neither could the people who saw them with me.

It's every man for himself in the realm of faith. YOU have to believe FOR YOURSELF. We cannot look at anyone else's experiences and claim there is no faith. I accepted that and I believed God for myself, and I saw many miracles through the years.

Some news outlets might be so evil and satanic that they wouldn't show them, but not every outlet would do that. The word would get out that amputees are growing new arms and legs. Hospitals are being emptied. (Except for the few that God wants to be sick, I guess.) The dead are being raised!

Ah, but that's not how God works, sadly.

You are doing it again. Your concept is so full of doubt.

No, He doesn't want the world at large to have undeniable proof that He is at work in the world, that His "word" is true. He would rather reward the very few that decide to believe it without proof. More satisfying that way.

More doubt-filled concepts.

Is that about right? Well, it says right there in the Bible, Jesus doesn't want to save some people. So, I guess I'm not too far off.

No that is not right. I am no Calvinist who believes Jesus does not want to save some people.

Tim, our words are powerful in both directions. One can speak oneself into deep, deep unbelief, or speak oneself into faith. Watch what we say. Let us be careful. One can be so full of unbelief that everything one sees is filtered through it. I believe that is the idea Jesus tried to relate when he said the light of the body is the eye. The way we perceive things is what He meant. Our perception can be so diseased spiritually, like a physical eye that is diseased, or evil. And everything such a person sees will be distorted. And Jesus said that if the distortion we see is considered reality in our hearts, how dark is that darkness! If the light that is in thee be darkness, how great is that darkness!

Fight the unbelief. We can do it!
