It works for me!
Faith in Jesus works for me - it's exciting. I love the Bible and believe all of it - though there is mystery. There is mystery everywhere though, right? I am a incredibly happy believer in Jesus. I'm not a theologian, I just believe in Jesus.
I understand you can't make anybody believe in Jesus and the Bible, and I don't personally try to do that. But I highly recommend it from my experience with it. I can't get enough of the Bible or Jesus. I can't imagine trying to navigate through life without it at this point in my life.
I don't think Jesus or God is a thing you can prove to somebody. I heard about it a large percentage of my life and it didn't mean anything to me until a certain point - then that all changed.
So do you guys think that I'm fooling myself, not really happy, you don't believe me, or do you really think I can't be as happy or enlightened as you - are you evangelistic in that sense or what? What is the purpose of this site? Do you have something better to offer? If so, what is your gospel?

Vas,
Only you know whether you're lying to yourself or not. You're insightful enough to see that. What you're accomplishing is either true or a lie.
I'm not lying to myself about God and the Bible. I know it's all true. My guess is - so do you...
Fonzie you KNOW you're lying. Just like every theist knows they are lying. That tiny voice in the back of your head is always trying to get out and force you to admit the truth: all gods are lies, even yours.

RE: "the heart is deceitful above all things and desperately corrupt - who can know it?" Jeremiah 17.9
truly this is the state of the human heart - deceitful, corrupt
but there is deliverance from it and new birth in Christ by the Water and the Spirit 1 Peter 1.23
on the first Pentecost God Wrote The Law on tablets of stone
50 days after the Lord Passed over those who partook in the Passover Lambs
on the last Pentecost God Wrote His Law on human hearts. Hebrews 8.10
50 days after The Lamb of God was Sacrificed and Raised from the Dead
to an Indestructable Life, Living and Working in those who believe in Him
God removes the heart of stone from our flesh
and gives us a heart of flesh Ezekiel 36.26
in Christ all things have been made new 2 Corinthians 5.17
we have a new heart and a new spirit
we know our Shepherd's Voice
Vas,
you are waxing as if godlike here -
"it is written"
"Vas has spoken"
as giving decrees from on high????
as if knowing the hearts of all mankind????
bad sign amigo
you think there's a possibility
a need to check in
or you might need to get checked out?
Well there's no substance here, just bullshit from the bible of lies and a classic case of theist hypocrisy. Moving on...
Enlightened Atheist, Gaming God.
Atheists cannot appreciate substance, just like swine cannot appreciate pearls. I appreciate the Truth (Water) because christ (Lamb) rose from the dead.
Atheists in no-substance houses should not cast "no substance" stones.
Move on if you want. Through the Gift of Grace, I am moving on to eternal Life (Bread).

Now what the OP was saying . .
Hebrews 8 :10d -- '' . . I will be their God and they will be my people''
Reminded me of something to cover, that I will make a post for future reference only --
Book of Ruth 1:11-22 New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition (NRSVCE)
"Now Naomi said, “Turn back, my daughters, why will you go with me? Do I still have sons in my womb that they may become your husbands? Turn back, my daughters, go your way, for I am too old to have a husband. Even if I thought there was hope for me, even if I should have a husband tonight and bear sons, would you then wait until they were grown? ..Then they wept aloud again. Orpah kissed her mother-in-law, but Ruth clung to her.
So she said, “See, your sister-in-law has gone back to her people and to her gods; return after your sister-in-law.” But Ruth said,
“Do not press me to leave you
or to turn back from following you!
Where you go, I will go;
where you lodge, I will lodge;
your people shall be my people,
and your God my God. Where you die, I will die—
there will I be buried.
May the Lord do thus and so to me,
and more as well, if even death parts me from you!”
When Naomi saw that she was determined to go with her, she said no more to her. So the two of them went on until they came to Bethlehem. When they came to Bethlehem, the whole town was stirred because of them; and the women said, “Is this Naomi?” She said to them,
“Call me no longer Naomi,
call me Mara,
for the Almighty has dealt with me, thus.
I went away full, but the Lord has brought me back empty;
so why call me Naomi when the Lord has dealt harshly with me,
and the Almighty has brought calamity upon me?”
So Naomi returned together with Ruth the Moabite, her daughter-in-law, who came back with her from the country of Moab. Naomi and Ruth came to Bethlehem at the beginning of the barley harvest.''

Vas,
Maybe you can learn something from one of your own...
George Bernard Shaw is perhaps most renowned as a free thinker and liberal philosopher. In his last writings we read, “The science to which I pinned my faith is bankrupt. Its counsels, which should have established the millennium, led, instead, directly to the suicide of Europe. I believed them once. In their name I helped to destroy the faith of millions of worshippers in the temples of a thousand creeds. And now they look at me and witness the great tragedy of an atheist who has lost his faith.”

The Troll's dshonesty knew no bounds...for now in desperation it relied on misquoted words which were known to be false:
»Lies the christians Tell: George Bernard Shaw
...Evangelist and editor Homer Duncan has been instrumental in spreading this fraud. The words are actually from
Act 3 of Shaw's 1932 play Too Good to be True. Shaw, incidentally, was not an atheist (Free Inquiry, Winter 1985/86: 37-38).
And sure enough – it is in Act 3, the character of the Elder, and I quote:
THE ELDER [rising impulsively] Determinism is gone, shattered, buried with a thousand dead religions, evaporated with the clouds
of a million forgotten winters. The science I pinned my faith to is bankrupt: its tales were more foolish than all the miracles of the
priests, its cruelties more horrible than all the atrocities of the Inquisition. Its spread of enlightenment has been a spread of cancer:
its counsels that were to have established the millennium have led straight to European suicide. And I--I who believed in it as no
religious fanatic has ever believed in his superstition! For its sake I helped to destroy the faith of millions of worshippers in the
temples of a thousand creeds. And now look at me and behold the supreme tragedy of the atheist who has lost his faith--his faith
in atheism, for which more martyrs have perished than for all the creeds put together. Here I stand, dumb before my scoundrel of
a son; for that is what you are, boy, a common scoundrel and nothing else...

Vas,
I can understand there's a courage problem - fear of the unknown. It is quite a "come down" to be "born anew" - and have to learn to walk in "newness of life", "walk by faith", "walk in the Light as He is in the Light" become a "babe in Christ". Pride becomes quite a barrier - the hole gets deeper. It's true there's always an initiation - an awkward learning ane orientation period when you try something new. But until you actually experience something totally foreign to you it will always be remote. And, yes there is a lot new and foreign to you in Christ.
We are no longer "slaves of sin" - we have a new Champion in us - working in us, coaching us, fighting for us, with us. We have "identified" with Jesus in His death through baptism and the array of meaning that is baptism. Now in "sanctification" we identify with Jesus in His Resurrection (never to die again, death has no longer dominion over Him). The same power that raised Jesus from the dead is at work in us. When we start to learn how to walk in faith we find we have an "empowered" upward growth. We find "we CAN do this" - in Christ we can fight Satan and win. In Christ also we can continue to win over the old nature of sin.
This is something you can't do on your own. Without Christ you can't have "empowered" sanctification. The idol of trusting in yourself keeps falling off the shelf - with the eternal purpose of teaching us we can't rely on ourselves.
You should try facing your fears and deeply investigate the Word of God and the Good News of the Gift of God - Grace through faith in Jesus Christ. With your continual flight from the Truth of the Word of God and the Word of God, the Living Christ and The Holy Spirit you are hardening the means of ever understanding and being saved. You are your own worst enemy.
Yes it can be scary to embrace the truth and leave your fantasies behind. Or so I'm told. Since I never had any such fantasies I can't say with certainty but it sounds reasonable.
Leave behind your lies and embrace reality. Be something more than the nothing you are. It isn't so scary once you've let go of the bullshit.

Vas,
It may occur to you that you don't have any real answers - to anything...but probably not. The "brush off" you give me is understandable though. You have to give the whole creation the same "brush off" to avoid seeing God - and, as an inevitable result: seeing yourself as you are. You must get a lot of practice "brushing off" and the cards you are left with are few - and, like you said you're already played them (or it).
I was wondering how you might really chew the fat with one of your atheist coharts and really "git down with the git down" into the old "no faith, no stamp collection" routine and be really lovin' it. But you even rebuff your atheist buddies that come not even bringing the stamp collection they don't have - you wouldn't give 'em the time of day even if it was straight up noon.
I think there is a fear of facing questions that are too close to incriminating Light - or...it has reached the point where seeing doesn't see and hearing doesn't hear...DIY broke.
Fonzie, one day it may occur to you that you don't have any real anserws, to anything at all. The brush off you give me is understandable though. You have to give the entire universe, and all of human and non-human history the brush off in order to believe in a false god. You must get a lot of practice brushing off the truth and covering it with lies. The cards you are left with are useless jokers. And they aren't wild.

I am not brushing off the universe, I am following the Creator (Lamb) of the universe.
You would like to brush your sins under the carpet of Evolution. But long after your magic carpet has stopped flying, the Chariot of the Lord (Water) will still be riding towards heaven.
god (Spirit) deals a winning hand to those who accept his Gift. The atheist tries to beat the House, but is only cheating himself.
