Default Does God Really Exist - 03-25-2002, 01:36 PM

i came across the following article in a book i'm currently reading and felt i had to share it with my fellow mashadites. the proofs that God does exist are :

Ontological -

- by PLATO - "all things share in the eternal Ideas, which in turn share in the unique Idea, sovereign Good, original Beauty, and world Spirit"

-by ANSELM - "man carries withn him the idea of a perfect Being; because he is imperfect, he cannot have got the idea on his own; thus the idea itself implies the existence of the most Perfect"

Scientific by ARISTOTLE "Reality has an efficient and final cause" - meaning there has to be a cause and effect of life.

Divine by AUGUSTINE - "only an original and eternal Truth could explain the truths human minds experiences"

from "Corner of the Veil" by Laurence Cosse

this was very interesting. any comments?

IKO SWALI!!

Default Can you prove it to me?? - 03-26-2002, 12:25 AM

I'm not doubting that He exists, but can you really prove it?

Yes you can really prove it.
how?
if you can answer this question then you can prove that he exists.


Hos does salt taste?

no the answer is not salty coz imagine the person asking you this question to be a guy whos never tasted salt how would he know what salty is...

so anyway the punchline is this....you cant be able to describe the taste of salt but if someone gave you a powder to taste then you would say yes this is salt....then if they ask you but how do you know? youll say i just know...

thats the same with GOd.... i just know he exists even though i cant explain it in words..... i just know

Maybe He does and maybe He doesn't. Either way I really don't care. I will mind my problems and God can mind His.

Mwananchi, Pliz, you know better than to bare such simplistic ideologies. Don't be simple in mind be prudent otherwise your brain cells with start depleting. One analogy I like using is that of the wind, you can't see it but you can feel it and see it's effects. I can't see God, but I can feel His effect on my life and have witnessed His goodness on others as well. So, take a stand and be bold about it.

Does God exist: Yes!!

I loved that salt analogy.

I think I said this before but I will say it again.

Proof relates to facts
Faith on the other hand does a way with the need for proof.

I believe in God and His existence not because I require proof of the fact but simply because I have faith in His existence.

So I wouldn't set out proving to someone if God exists because if that person does not have faith then it would be pointless.






I am too blessed to be stressed

there is nothin' to debate here whether God exists or not. He lives and reigns with all dominion. He is who he is. the first and the end.u can't change this one. my friend i hope and wish u would stop to doubt. He exists and without him we can't live
