“And when Jesus departed thence, two blind men followed him, crying, and
saying, Thou Son of David, have mercy on us. And when he was come into the
house, the blind men came to him: and Jesus saith unto them, Believe ye that
I am able to do this? They said unto him, Yea, Lord. Then touched he their
eyes, saying, According to your faith be it unto you.” (Mat 9:27-29, KJV)

The law of faith (note, Mat 8:13).

“But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a
wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed. For let not that man think
that he shall receive any thing of the Lord. A double minded man is unstable
in all his ways.” (Jas 1:6-8, KJV)

How many years were you taught things regarding to the Bible after you
graduated from High School before you bailed out? I never did hear what your
reasons were for bailing out. And you were asked, politely.

The atheists faith is based on fantasy.
Whereas the theists faith is based on
science.

The atheists origin myth is contrary
to the laws of science and is based
on fantasy. Yet it has deceived the
gullible and the ignorant..

“Atheism is the birth right of all human, remember that!”- hhyapster 7.4.23

"Christian beliefs cannot withstand reason, fact, and knowledge"

"Religion is not about truth, it's about lifestyle"

"God is a convenient explanation for what man does not understand.
The less that's inexplicable, the less need for a 'God' explanation."

"The problem with theism is that it never remains within
the realm of belief, but invariably proceeds to assertion"

Matthew 17:20: "Truly I tell you, if you have faith as small as a
mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’
and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you.”

when has any Christian ever moved any mountain. but supposedly the
tiniest amount of faith would make it possible.

That's cause its not worth it. My cousin moved a mountain once &
accidentally set it down on his car & the insurance company refused to
pay & also some of the ppl that live on the mountain got mad cause now
they got to drive farther to work. He say's he'll never do it again.

....in God, in the Creator they know exists.

But they do have faith in something, though, in themselves, and good
luck with that!

Failure is not a thing one should have faith in.

God is God in all His Being.

Jesus is the everlasting Father, Jesus is God, Jesus is the Lord. John
10:30  I and Father are one. If you can't see that the Lord Jesus is the
everlasting Father you are not born again and can't see the Kingdom of God.

Colossians 2:9 For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily.

Rom 5:8 But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were
YET sinners, Christ died for us.

Jeremiah 10:23 O LORD, I know that the way of man is not in himself: it
is not in man that walketh to direct his steps.

Psalms 53:1 The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. Corrupt
are they, and have done abominable iniquity: there is none that doeth good.

Proverbs 12:15 The way of a fool is right in his own eyes: but he that
hearkeneth unto counsel is wise.

"To seek your own will is to seek your own glory."

"If God is not first in everything He is not first in anything."

"What makes the bible the truth? The resonance (voice, the Person) of
God. When you find Him you have found the author."

"All men were born sinners. Why? Because all men were born not loving
God with all their heart, soul, and mind. An abomination. Therefore,
sin is not what you do; it is what you are."

"Compromise will condemn you."

"There are no sinners in Christ Jesus."

"My sons are born of Me. In them is no darkness at all."

"You can't learn righteousness. Haven't you had enough time already to
know that?"

"The way of truth is the testimony of life."

"I merely speak the truth, what is revealed to me, and the cards fall
where God intends."

"Nothing that is produced is produced without first being faith."

"You can only find proof of God through faith because that is how we all
live, by faith."

"It is not what you do that matters, it is how you treat Me."

"Keep going forward. Forget about the past. Lift up your head, look
ahead."

"You cannot be free and free indeed with guilt in your heart."

"Priority is everything."

"The truth doesn't need evidence, it is evidence."

"There is no greater possession a man has than his own will, to squander
it or to place it where it truly belongs."

"An atheist is a fool who thinks truth is found in living a lie."

"Saying "prove it" [as a foundation] is merely an ignorant straw man, to
an ignorant straw man."

"Wait, rest, be still, and know."

"No man can wash his own hands!!!"

"I find this in the Christianity religions: 'Nobody's perfect' they say,
and they use that as an excuse not to do what is perfect."

The Atheist: "They don't believe and put their faith in a Creator (the
obvious). So no evidence and proof is to be found!!"

"The world is the way it is because God can't compromise who He is."

"Man is not the centre of being."

"Man is incompatible with the natural world because of his sinful nature."

"And then the Lord said, "I see everything."

"Man has no greater idol than his own will."

"Where is God hiding? He isn't."

"If you don't keep all the scriptures, you can't keep any of them."

"You can't prove anything because everything depends on a person's
willingness to believe."

"Atheists are ultimately trying to be pointlessness, meaninglessness,
and purposelessness in their point, meaning, and purpose."

"The last day of creation will be the last day of time. God is always
full of hope."

"The veil of the temple was rent in twain, not to have a book pass
through it so that a sinner could play God."

"A phylactery does not a heart for God make. Not back then, and not today."

"No one in heaven is better (or higher) than what makes it heaven. Such
is the love of God."

"The definition of an atheist: A man full of bluster and bullshit
pretending he is the meaning of life."

"Free will is not power; it is the choice that I allow; that choice is
still according to my power," says the Lord.

What does a fool do? A fool looks for a "nothing" in a "something" in
order to explain the existence of existence.

"Unless you do all because He is who He is, all your religion is in vain."

"Every man is subject to God; He judges every man, and He is reality.
 What a gift in a fallen world!"

"Love MUST be a choice or it is nothing but a law!"

"Why were all men born sinners? So that God could reveal Himself, so
that we would behold the glory of God, and that we should bring forth
the glory of God"

"God does not and will not arbitrate for any man to love Him! If God
isn't everything to you, He is nothing to you where the rubber meets the
road."

"It is the unforgivable sin not to love God with all your heart, soul,
and mind. What do you have that is lasting? It is not so much being
punished; it is what you are left with."

"Love isn't worth anything without first a free will choice for God to
birth it in a man."

"The point of salvation: desperation. Anything less than that is
self-righteousness."

"A sinner is not a believer in God; a sinner is a believer in sin."

"A piece of dirt is not the promised land; that is only a reflection.
The promised land is knowing Me, says the Lord."

"It is all about God or it is all about idolatry."

"The Lord Jesus is coming soon. He has always come soon."

"There is no revolving door of self-worship in a son of God's life!"

"There is no such thing as random!"

"You can't truly love without it being with all your heart."

"No one can see God without their whole heart. Unless you can see God,
you know nothing."

"You can't learn God, God has to reveal Himself to you."

"No sinner is sinless in any way."

"Only God is life; only the Kingdom of God of His "Nature" is life."

"What you believe is just a leaning on your own understanding; faith is
a leaning on the one you have chosen to trust."

"God uses the "letter" to crucify a man and raise him from the dead."

"Not fearing God is sheer stupidity for sinners."

"Self-righteousness is any exclusion of God in your heart, because any
exclusion reveals that you think more about yourself than what you
really are."

“Atheism is the birth right of all human, remember that!”- hhyapster 7.4.23

"Christian beliefs cannot withstand reason, fact, and knowledge"

"Religion is not about truth, it's about lifestyle"

"God is a convenient explanation for what man does not understand.
The less that's inexplicable, the less need for a 'God' explanation."

"The problem with theism is that it never remains within
the realm of belief, but invariably proceeds to assertion"

If Christians had facts they wouldn't need faith.

"Religion is not about truth, it's about lifestyle"

"God is a convenient explanation for what man does not understand.
The less that's inexplicable, the less need for a 'God' explanation."

"The problem with theism is that it never remains within

"Personality" is who you are—infinitely complex, diverse, and unique—a
one-of. However, humans are made in the image of God. Animals are not.
In other words, animals are devoid of morality (equal rights, right and
wrong, etc.), purpose, meaning, the understanding, or knowing about life
and death, that they are going to die.

And no science equation can ever or will ever be able to explain
that—that tells you there is more than science.

> if so what about animals? they have personalities too. do they too have
> some divine presence within?

Personality does not come from an explosion, a rock collision, or some
chemical reaction you can "magic" in a science lab. If it did, we'd have
a shop in every village, town, city, and country on earth selling it.

Animals have uniqueness, but they don't have the image of God in them
that humans do.

Nevertheless, animals—every animal has a unique quality of behaviour
that I suppose you could call a personal-ity, rather, an individuality."
But then so is every plant unique.

What does that say about the Creator? He did amazing "painting." He
splashed His paint everywhere as an expression of who and what He is,
but we pollute it with our own ways, wants, and wills—our free will.

Life is full of God's expression. Sure, He put his personal image in
man, but that is not the end of the matter; it is through the whole
universe. Michelangelo is long gone, but his presence in his paintings
goes on. Only God is not dead. And all the physics in the universe can't
explain why physics does not have the answer to why and how it got there.

You know from the things that were made that your Creator is the answer,
because He is also the question.

What you see is inherent within yourself.

I know it is always someone else.

For the Russians, it is always the Americans; for the Russians it is
always the Americans; for the Jews it is always the Arabs and for the
Arabs it is always the Jews.

No, it is always YOU who is the failure. Once you realise that, there is
hope.

Most have need or reason to exercise V24, but to answer your direct question,

God is God in all His Being.

Jesus is the everlasting Father, Jesus is God, Jesus is the Lord. John
10:30  I and Father are one. If you can't see that the Lord Jesus is the
everlasting Father you are not born again and can't see the Kingdom of God.

Colossians 2:9 For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily.

Rom 5:8 But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were
YET sinners, Christ died for us.

Jeremiah 10:23 O LORD, I know that the way of man is not in himself: it
is not in man that walketh to direct his steps.

Psalms 53:1 The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. Corrupt
are they, and have done abominable iniquity: there is none that doeth good.

Proverbs 12:15 The way of a fool is right in his own eyes: but he that
hearkeneth unto counsel is wise.

"To seek your own will is to seek your own glory."

"If God is not first in everything He is not first in anything."

"What makes the bible the truth? The resonance (voice, the Person) of
God. When you find Him you have found the author."

"All men were born sinners. Why? Because all men were born not loving
God with all their heart, soul, and mind. An abomination. Therefore,
sin is not what you do; it is what you are."

"Compromise will condemn you."

"There are no sinners in Christ Jesus."

"My sons are born of Me. In them is no darkness at all."

"You can't learn righteousness. Haven't you had enough time already to

where God intends."

"Nothing that is produced is produced without first being faith."

"You can only find proof of God through faith because that is how we all
live, by faith."

"It is not what you do that matters, it is how you treat Me."

I know of xtians who have prayed for their cancer to be cured, but they
still died. the whole Church was praying too. lots of prayers go
unanswered. one might even suggest the correlation between answered and
unanswered prayer is commensurate with the law of averages. iow there's
no diety listening.

“Atheism is the birth right of all human, remember that!”- hhyapster 7.4.23

"Christian beliefs cannot withstand reason, fact, and knowledge"

"Religion is not about truth, it's about lifestyle"

"God is a convenient explanation for what man does not understand.
The less that's inexplicable, the less need for a 'God' explanation."

"The problem with theism is that it never remains within
the realm of belief, but invariably proceeds to assertion"

I know of many that have had the same results. The problem is that they do
not believe. And in fact there are several people currently posting in these
NG’s that tell others that God no longer is in the business of fulfilling
his words. Yet they will pray for healings, and ask others to do likewise.
Problem is that they are all in the same mindset of disbelief. A believer is
supposed to walk by faith, exercise their faith, and grow from faith works
experience to “Faith to faith” and this all sums up to being strong in
faith and not a bunch of weaklings. There are many promises for healings in
both the old as well as the new testaments.

The NT teaches what is a Believer, and how they behave, and those who exhibit
actions outside those scopes are not the true followers of Jesus. It teaches
what is a fraud as well. Yes, Believers can get caught up in the affairs of
this world at times, but they should self correct, or correct when admonished
by God, or their elders. I recently posted some scripture directly pointed to
that, but only in the NG’s that were supposed to have “christians”
posting there. I typically do never post directly to AA.

Even the Roman government sent people to Israel and other places to see what
made the Christians tick and behave the way they did in those days at the
beginning after the resurrection of Christ.

The point was, Buddy, you saying "exactly" is based on your faith.

You can't live without faith.

Please wake up to at least some grown up common sense or I going to have
