that depends. are you willing to find him? many times our unwillingess to open our hearts to him is what keeps him hidden. do you truly want to know God? do you want him to change your life and give you a true reason to live? will you beg for him to reveal himself to you and enter your heart?
I've been begging him to show himself for a while now.

Would you watch a video thats an hour long? It's a testimony of a guy who was Catholic.
Yes I am willing to. I appreciate everyone's response. It means a lot.

I see.... well it seems to me like you really are trying to find him, he will show himself to you if you keep asking but be open to how he does it. for me he presented himself to me in a dream but he does this in countless ways for many ppl. Perhaps it would help to make a prayer request? I actually prayed for you 5 minutes ago to find him but I think that you need many prayers from many of us. I have to go to bed soon but if you are on tomorrow I would like to chat with you more and I truly am begging God to help you

I will watch it thank you. And how do you know it was him and not just a dream?
Because when you actually meet him you have a sense of knowing its him, I met God the father the very night I asked him to prove he was real and I met him again another time then I met Jesus himself and I want to meet him again but that is up to him

Yes I own I NKJV. I do like to read the KJV too though. I also have a Geneva. As long as it's Textus Receptus I'll read from it. And I really appreciate the offer. What made you guys believe in a god?
My parents really didn't go to church, but my Aunt Lois would take me with her three kids and that is how I learned about God. I found my mother dead when I was 8 years old and my father died when I was 12. I always felt God's protection somehow and I don't just go by feelings.

There have just been instances in my life that had no logical explanation, where I was protected or kept from harm. I can remember when I was around 6 years old my cousin and a friend of hers and I went to the park it was right after some of the segregation laws had been dropped and there were some black teenage boys in the same park as us and they started coming our way. My cousin and her friend were teenagers too. We left the park but these boys kept following us, so we walked faster. When we got to the corner my cousin Deanna said Donna take Darlene home now run and I will go the other way I know they will chase me if I am alone.

I want to tell you I ran faster than I had ever run before a little 6 year old I felt like I was flying Donna and I were going so fast. We ran into my Aunt's house and yelled Deanna is being chased by a gang of boys and my cousin Johnny was putting on socks at the time and I can still see him running down the sidewalk with one sock on and one sock off as he went to get Deanna.

Deanna had run up to a house and knocked on the door they opened it and let her in she said the boys kept yelling for her and the man in the house had to go get a gun to get them to leave.

I don't know it just seemed like a miracle to me that we ended up all being safe and unharmed, because with a 6 year old those boys should have been able to get us all and they got none of us.

I just believe in God and have seen love that He has shown me in my life. I know He loves you too you just have to reach out and believe.

OH YEAH, also I got to add, I know because Jesus speaks to me through prophetic dreams and uses dreams for confirmations.

"And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams:" Acts 2:17

I see. I'm sorry. My father died when I was 7. I understand that pain. I went to a church once. The pastors wife made me leave because I was dressed immodestly. Apparently women in church can only wear a dress that reaches down to their knees. That was my nicest dress too. I tried to join a bible study group but they didn't believe in mixed race groups (they thought I was black even though I'm actually Filipino) i don't understand how it's fair for god to expect me to just believe in him without any reasons to.

She is wrong for believing that God owes her an explanation for her ignorance toward Him. I suggest you read II Timothy 3:16. Someone has to tell her.

The reason your having trouble is because your reading the bible cover to cover...
The bible is a spiritual book...not to be read like a school book...to read the bible is
like weaving a tapestry..you must pray for the Spirit to guide you..
...the words intertwine showing the truth....it was made to
confuse the unbeliever....logic...practicality...are useless.... begging God means you dont
believe in His Word....and unless you believe you will never get your proof...


....He gives you a choice to believe.....
there is a whole forum here dedicated to testimonies...but nine months ago I was hit
by a car and left for dead....once the emergency surgery was over...they told me I wouldnt
walk...or see out of my left eye....and let me go .....with prayer and my faith......less than a
year later..... I can see fine and im walking with a cane....so tell me how was this possible...
I have other instances....so believe as you will.....but for me and my house.....we will thank and
serve God.......He didnt reveal Himself to me till I learned how to function in the Spirit...
So keep questioning and seeking.....you will get your answers ....you just have to learn patience..
and maybe not be so angry....God is all about love ....First and formost....
May you find the Truth you seek.........peace ...jo

and who are you to call needing some sign that he is real ignorance? I needed proof and he showed me willingly, you yourself show ignorance for judging someone else for needing him to reveal himself. She is trying hard to find him and I cannot sit here and let you say such things to a person who needs our help

It's a good thing the apostle Paul didn't share your taboo methods of showing compassion and trying to explain what I don't understand or your religion never would have caught on. Read Romans 1:22 please. Okay thanks bye.
