    No, no you don't.

    Writing the tax code in cryptic riddles is not going to get people to understand the tax code better than being as clear as possible.

    If you are not afraid of being a violator, then that is your problem. God does as He sees fit, in accordance with the laws of the spiritual world, and not with your wishes.

    First prove there IS a God, then we can start talking about what rules he uses.

    I have not yet witnessed her exalting herself. Can you provide an example? It is easy to find such childish behavior from Trump. Recently he posted "I HATE TAYLOR SWIFT!" During the debate, I remember Trump telling Harris "Biden HATES YOU." Christians are following this man of hatred?

    Proof that God exists will be presented to you after the Third Temple is built in Israel, in accordance with the prophecy of Ezekiel, which is 2600 years old. If you want not to fail with the whole world in your current affairs at the Second Coming of Christ, then you should now take care of finding God yourself.

    Prove that the Bible prophecies are accurate, prove that the Bible is a reliable source

    THEN we can discuss if that is proof of God

    THEN we can discuss what "rules" God uses.

    Why should I prove anything to you? God is not like the Democratic or Republican party, He does not need a majority of votes to win. God will gather only those He needs in the Third Temple, and that will be enough to win over the whole world.

    Then I can ignore your statements about God.

    If you don't feel the need to substantiate your claims why should ANY of us believe you?

    God tells us not to believe the man. We must believe God and rely on Him. Do you want to believe me? That is very sad. Turn to God and believe in Him when He answers you.

    Used to believe in God
    Realized that there is no actual evidence for a god
    Get outside your information bubble. Investigate the claims.
    It is sad to dedicate your life to a myth.

    Don't you think that disbelief in God is an information bubble? That is, God is real, and the bubble of disbelief has grown so much that it has completely closed God off from most people. The bursting of this bubble is called the Second Coming of Christ.

    There are many factual proofs of the existence of God. But if you want to get proof of God for yourself, you yourself must first turn to God. Otherwise, you will not understand where God is, and where Satan is with false prophets and false Christs.

    No BELIEF in God is an information bubble.

    You've been told to believe what the Bible says because the Bible is the Word of God
    You've been told that the Bible is the Word of God because you've been told the Bible says so.

    I have been an atheist now for over 40 years. Many claim there is "proof of God" but it's been at least 20 years since anyone has presented an argument that I have not already heard and been able to debunk.

    No, it was not like that. On a certain day in my life, being alone at home, I prayed to God and asked Him to show me in which religion I could find Him. I asked Him to send me a human teacher who would tell me where to find God. And at that moment I thought, how can I know that the person who came to me will be sent from God? And I said to God then: "So that I can know that this person is from You, let him come to me today, or call today." I lived in a new apartment, alone, no one came to me, and almost no one called. But that same evening my old friend called me, and his first words were: "How is your knowledge of God?" This question was asked to me for the first time from his side - before that, if he ever called, it was usually with some request, to make some part at the factory. So I understood that God answered me through this man.

    And that day, through him, God told me three things. First, Jesus Christ was on Earth, as described in the Gospels. Second, the entire Bible is true. Third, in order to understand what is written in the Bible, I need to pray to God and ask Him in the name of Jesus Christ to send me the spirit of truth. Without the spirit of truth, it is impossible to understand the Bible.

    From that time on, I began to follow this: always ask God what I could not understand in the Scriptures. After that, many things happened to me. I was convinced of the reality of God. I was convinced that He exists and that He should be trusted. I managed to understand many things in the Bible that few people know to this day. I realized that the entire Bible is one whole. All the words have meanings. No man could have written such a thing, even if he lived 200 years.

    That is why I am telling you: until you come to the point in your life when you begin to ask God to reveal Himself to you, He will seem strange and misunderstood to you, or you will even think that He does not exist. But God exists.

    Again, I WAS a Christian.

    I thought I knew the truth, I thought God had "spoken to me"

    But that was because I was leading an insulated life. I was never, truly, presented with the alternative.

    Once I was able to look at the Bible and the so called evidence for a god objectively, it became obvious that the Bible is a bunch of stories written by men who still believed that the sun revolved around the earth.
    Clear your mind of all assumptions and look at your evidence again. Odds are you will come the conclusion that I have.

    I have never been a sectarian. When, a few months after my first conversion to God, I began to pray and ask for the address of a church where I could be baptized, God answered me by sending a woman unknown to me personally, and she wrote with her own hand the address of the church where I was later baptized. I stayed in that community for a few months, after which the Holy Spirit showed me the abomination of desolation in that place, and I, grieving, was forced to stop visiting that place. Again I prayed and asked God - and He brought me into a home church, which later became my family, where we followed the Lord together and there I began to understand a lot in the Bible. We never isolated ourselves from other Christians. We communed at home, sometimes every day. We had fellowship with Christians of different denominations, and if they did not object, they participated in the communion with us. After many years, I can not only say that I believe in God. I know that God exists.

    The first chapter of Genesis does not speak of the visible universe. Genesis describes the creation of the INNER world in man. Man as a biological species arose as a result of evolution. Man as a social being appeared about 6,000 years ago, after about 6,000 years (6 "days") of creation. Revelation shows a picture of the destruction of the internal ideas of modern people about God. The Bible does not contradict science.

    The job is to serve the people and America.

    His narcissism has shown up throughout his personal, financial and political life.

    Again, how so? How does it impede his ability to serve? I am not necessarily his greatest fan, but I don’t add such pejorative lanes to his behavior to substantiate my criticisms.
    I one worked with(as a consultant to) another business leader that seemed cut from the same cloth. She was difficult at times to work with, not likable, thought no one but her knew what was right. I found myself frustratingly picking up a lot of broken pieces and mending a lot of fences. She was vilified too, but her drive got things done like no one before or after her. Maybe I understand Trump because of my experience with her. Me, I don’t have to like a leader, I judge by what is accomplished. For President, I think we could do better, but I don’t see better in a position to get the job… a sad thing.

    I must grab this comment and copy and paste it over into a discussion that I already have going that I suspect could
    lead to an extremely useful topic that might just shift the consciousness of hundred and even thousands of readers......

    Well said An Taibhse........

    Should Israel crown Donald J. Trump as Moshiach ben Ephrayim?
