Comment Re:Good! It's not a religion (Score 1) 321

Read Psalms 96:4, Exodus 20:4-5, Rev. 4:11. The God of the Bible clearly doesn't believe that all religions/gods are the same. If you feel that is simply the words of men, think about 2 Timothy 3:16 and 2 Peter 1:21. Accurate prophecy in particular is one thing that would require superhuman ability. All religions tend to try to explain where we came from and where were going. However if they all disagree they can't all be right. At the same thing it wouldn't necessarily mean that there isn't a correct explanation for those questions. Psalms 65:2 says the God hears prayers and 1 Timothy 2:3-4 shows that it's God's will for all people to come to a knowledge of the truth. If you seek to know religious truth God will help you do that.

I think it's time we move away from searching by keywords to ideas. Searching by keywords require alot of work to maintain and has created the SEO industry. You should be able to give the search engine a complete thought and it have it go through it's knowledge base to find relevant ideas. That means instead of the search bots just keeping track of the keywords on webpages they will have to read through the webpage and form an idea of what the webpage is about.

It's interesting that everyone is looking at the same evidence in nature but coming to different conclusions. Sometimes you need to ask yourself what evidence would you need for the existence of a Creator? Is there any possible evidence that could provide for the existence of a Creator?

What if a theoretical Creator wrote a letter to you saying what his name was (Psalms 83:18) and told you he was responsible for creating everything (Genesis 1:1). How about if he gave an explanation for things like why we suffer (Genesis 3:6), he explained how he was fixing the problem through his kingdom (Mathew 24:14), and that his purpose is for a future without suffering (Revelation 21:3-4). What if he made it clear he was the author of that message by stating it (2 Timothy 3:16) and then showed the ability to predict the future by showing the rise of world powers followed by his kingdom (Daniel 2:44). Certainly if someone made those claims I think it would at least be worth investigating.

According to that Creator it's possible to get more personal evidence. He claims to hear prayers (Psalms 65:2). He will answer prayers that are in harmony with his will (1 John 5:14-15). It's his will that everyone learns the truth about him (1 Timothy 2:4). Putting those ideas together, my theory is that if you pray to him he will provide the evidence and knowledge you need.
