Power Point slide showing 5 proofs that the true God exists
I believe you are spitting in the wind until you do what everyone is urging you to do.
BTW, if you are going to use Scripture, use it correctly. The passage in Acts that you quote says that "Jesus" showed himself alive with many infallible proofs for forty days to the people that knew him and had seen him before his crucifixion. It was not meant as a generic proof text for the existence of God other than the fulfillment of Prophecy, which can be used as partial proof of the veracity of Scripture's statements.
As far as a powerful presentation, Paul says that the presentation of the Gospel is the "Power" of God. As powerful as your presentation may be, if it does not include the Gospel, it may be lack the punch you are looking for, especially among the skeptics and unbelievers you are attempting to persuade. Don't presume that they are stupid or gullible. Also, don't presume that you are necessary for God to prove His existence to anyone. I believe He can take care of Himself on that issue.
Other than that, I believe you have work to do to prevent a mess of your own making.
What you don't see it that you too have been blinded. I think that the people you are talking about here, who you say ignore God and His word are the very people who preach it.
Of course that is like trying to convice a mouse that grew up with an elephant that it is actually a mouse.
Marisa is Right
What is wrong if you can write a hub about it?The hubpages managers asked you not to start forum threads for the sole purpose of promoting your hubs. If people want to read your frankly medieval opinions, they will have to find the hub without you spamming the forums.
Seeing as you do not engage in meaningful discussion, it is unlikely to do you much good doing this either.
I wouldn't voluntarily give you my personal email address if you were the last religious fanatic on earth.
Which I pray you will be one day
I am praying for you.
Get it? Irony.........Irony:
Irony is a literary or rhetorical device, in which there is an incongruity or discordance between what one says or does, and what one means or what is generally understood.Verbal irony is distinguished from situational irony and dramatic irony in that it is produced intentionally by speakers. For instance, if a speaker exclaims, “I’m not upset!” but reveals an upset emotional state through her voice while truly trying to claim she's not upset, it would not be verbal irony just by virtue of its verbal manifestation (it would, however, be situational irony). But if the same speaker said the same words and intended to communicate that she was upset by claiming she was not, the utterance would be verbal irony. This distinction gets at an important aspect of verbal irony: speakers communicate implied propositions that are intentionally contradictory to the propositions contained in the words themselves. There are examples of verbal irony that do not rely on saying the opposite of what one means, and there are cases where all the traditional criteria of irony exist and the utterance is not ironic.
Dictionary definition:
1. The use of words to express something different from and often opposite to their literal meaning.
2. An expression or utterance marked by a deliberate contrast between apparent and intended meaning.
3. A literary style employing such contrasts for humorous or rhetorical effect.
Sorry, I forgot I would probably have to explain the meaning. Guess you were homeschooled huh? Basically, I was taking the piss.
And I bend my knee to no one. Least of all your imaginary friend with the eternal damnation
But thanks. I will continue to pray for you. I hope you see the light. Or at least a glimmer.
Good luck. No worries though, if your spaghetti sauce is good enough, you are guaranteed a seat in heaven's cafeteria.or...in other words...da, da, da...parebels.
No. I am not my own god. Why do I need a god? Can't I just be me?
I am slowly understanding the whole, "It doesn't matter what I do, I am still going to heaven," idea.
I have had it explained to me a lot lately
Thinkaboutit77, Think about it. It's not right to expect anyone to send email to a stranger for this reason
Jesus? The creator?
Can I bow to you Mark?
Will you show me THE way?
Yes.
No.Does not make much sense then - but I still enjoy what you do
You have to find your own way.
Now I sound like all the others.........
Thanks.
You never sound like others Mark
But true, everybody's way is different - which does not mean we can't use a little help from those ahead of us.
