Why doesn't the Bible explicitly argue for the existence of God? Did people in the ancient world ask the same theological questions that we ask today? In this video, Jorge explains the importance of viewing the Bible through the lens of its intended audience.

If a had pieces and parts of a wristwatch and placed them in a bag and shook that bag for a 1000 year period then opened it and it was together and ran perfectly fine then I would see the atheist argument but I don’t have enough faith to believe that.

DNA CODE PROVES a SUPERGENIUS DESIGNER CREATED LIFE before any life could have existed. It's only by IGNORING OBSERVATIONAL SCIENTIFIC EVIDENCE that people remain committed to naturalism. DNA CODE CAN'T SELF-CREATE and SELF-ASSEMBLE into cells ACCIDENTALLY. CAN'T. The question is not what IMPOSSIBLY UNREASONABLY LARGE set of TI.ELY "ACCIDENTS".... NO... the question is WHO DID THAT?

I have to disagree. Of course there were people questioning God's existence. How can anyone say that?

When did the New Testament begin?
@CryoftheProphet Says:
The bible is unique in that you have a collection of writings that really paint the Jews in a pretty disobedient and rather faulty light. I mean, if I was going to fake my cultures religion and invent a god, I would paint my culture in the most positive light possible. Yet the old testament as well as the new, is about the shortcomings and failures of those who are most ardently proclaiming their faith in God. Moreover, God is pronouncing judgement on the very people the scriptures come from. If anything, that lends to its credibility, as the Jews and Christians are clearly being held to the same standard of judgement that God has imposed on non believers and pagan cultures. fascinating stuff.

I am greatful for my testimony of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. I pray that we all turn our Hearts to him. We need God more now than ever.

@kelseykjarsgaard5774 Says:
Could be a diff God tho
@tTtt-ho3tq Says:
Yes, it is a presumption, presupposition, priori or what if God exists. Then to see if that makes sense or if its fit and it seems it does.
Only problem is you can't falsify it because with God by definition everything is possible.

There is only 1 place God excist, in your head.
@sridharrao6864 Says:
Bible doesn't try to prove that God exists, but rather straightaway tells us who God is, what he has done for us & what he expects from us.. So it should automatically hit our heads that God does exist.. period..

Psalm 14
14 The fool has said in his heart,
“There is no God.”
They are corrupt,
They have done abominable works,
There is none who does good.
2 The Lord looks down from heaven upon the children of men,
To see if there are any who understand, who seek God.
3 They have all turned aside,
They have together become corrupt;
There is none who does good,
No, not one.
4 Have all the workers of iniquity no knowledge,
Who eat up my people as they eat bread,
And do not call on the Lord?
5 There they are in great fear,
For God is with the generation of the righteous.
6 You shame the counsel of the poor,
But the Lord is his refuge.
7 Oh,[a] that the salvation of Israel would come out of Zion!
When the Lord brings back [b]the captivity of His people,
Let Jacob rejoice and Israel be glad.
@slchambers1 Says:
All of creation exclaims God exist. You’ll be without excuse.
@josuelopez2143 Says:
It is a mental battle. You either believe, or you doubt. One position is always fighting to overpower the contrary. The more I meditate on God, the stronger and more blessed and more joyful I become. When doubt creeps in and starts chipping away at faith, that is when anxiety and fear and uncertainties grow. If that sounds like a person is merely "presuming" God exists, I have too ask: What is the other option? Presuming he DOES NOT exist? Nope. God never fails his children. Things fall into place and obstacles crumble when you put your faith in the LORD.

ALiens made the matrix and spread the religions as an experiment. They are able to tamper and play God. The bible is it real or just a lab experiment !

Everyone and everything proves the Bible and the existence of GOD The Almighty.

@stephenking4170 Says:
this chap isn't right about the universal belief in existence of God. Proverbs says "The fool says in his heart there is no God" Thus people did entertain the idea of being no God.
@jirensentry7609 Says:
Having a very clear layout of what you will say goes so far. I see how our conversation can be broken or damaged if we have the "uh" come out much.
@Kokoh_santuy Says:
The Bible is about human history, which most of the characters had encounter with God.
The Bible doesn’t need to prove or presume anything.
Most debates are focused on concept: creation, moral, etc.
But forget that the history itself (with correct context, culture, language) already answered all the questions.
@briendoyle4680 Says:
The Bible as we know it today developed over a long period of time and was originally transmitted orally, in the Stone ages!
before it was finally written down, in the Bronze ages!
The entirety of the Bible was written approximately between the years of 1200 BC and 100 AD.
The Olden Testes
What Christians refer to as the “Old Testament” is essentially an ancient compilation of the Jewish Sacred Scriptures and fables,
the Tanakh — the Hebrew Bible.
These texts (the Torah, the books of the Prophets, and the “Writings”) developed over time
and were at first handed over orally from one generation to the next
until they were finally written down.
Most scholars agree that the Old Testament was written between the years of 1200 and 165 BC.
The New Testes
The New Testament, including the Gospels and the various letters that are included in it,
was initially handed down orally,
before being written down.
Various writers wrote down in the years following Jesus’ death the many stories circulating about that Jesus person.
These writers were either apostles or friends of apostles.
It is generally believed that the New Testament was written between the years of 50 and 100 AD.
It is a historical novel
ie A book of fiction....
Only!

This guy is talking over the questioners head🤪
@drumrnva Says:
That was a wretchedly incomprehensible word salad. He even said you can come to the conclusion that 'there is a God because of what he has made'. This is pure question-begging. Without any embellishment, he is assuming what he wishes to prove. Terribly thin reasoning. 👎👎👎
@Paulthored Says:
I would point out that Jesus Christ's life, death, & Resurrection...
Alongside the 330+ Old Testament prophecies concerning Jesus that He ultimately is understood to have Fulfilled...
Argue rather Strongly & Logically for the Existence of God.
Not to the point of a supernatural existence being Scientifically possible to test using the Scientific Method...
But then again, Science wasn't designed to be able to test All Things. Particularly concepts like the Supernatural, or God.
So it makes sense that this is true.
Admittedly, a lot of the previous statements, relies heavily on individuals understanding of what the words used mean.
I've recently encountered someone who argues that Science was Created by a Ancient Greek Mathematician... because He used Mathematics to calculate the spherical nature of the Earth.
Whereas I understand Science to be shorthand for the discipline of using the Scientific Method to make Testable observations about how The Natural World works/orders itself.... of which a Tool used is Mathematics... and which was developed by over 50 European Scholar's working in conjunction with one another. (With Sir Francis Bacon being the one most often credited with heading the efforts).
And that's just one term, that can be understood differently depending upon one's own experience, and understanding.
@candidcameracat Says:
How do you get skeptics to show up for these events?
@dragonsigner Says:
Honestly Genesis chapter one can be ready as both descriptive prescriptive..God is telling us who what he did was doing.. will do....based on perspective
@NotgoingToohappen Says:
There is entirely WAY to many people who believe in religions. Religions are manmade to control the masses. I mean, why would an all-powerful all loving god send his ONLY son as a human sacrifice? Surely, if he's so powerful, he could have done it in a different, more loving way. Besides that, why would this all loving God put us on a planet in the middle of a universe with asteroids whizzing by us and meteorites and shooting stars. Why would an all loving god put us in a world full of danger absolutely EVERYWHERE? it's time to wake up to the real truth, folks, and that is, we are all our own gods. I have even woke pastors up to the fact that they have questioned everything they thought they knew about the Bible and realized it is all manipulation and fear. Absolutely 100% EVERYTHING in this place is all based on power and control and its done through fear of every kind "they" can think of because there are forces here that doesn't want our minds woke up to realize we are our own God's because once everyone figures that out is when "they" lose Absolutely everything.
@Thundawich Says:
Of course no-one was questioning the supernatural back then, the supernatural didn't exist yet as a concept.
@Gek1177 Says:
If the Bible proved God then everyone would be Christian but they aren't which by itself disproves Christianity.
@MutsPub Says:
If there is not clear evidence for Yahweh to you, then by your choice you are sadly lost!
By your own choosing, Yahweh will give you exactly what you want and deserve, eternal separation from His presence.
Your future will be bleak, filled with COLD nothingness! Then comes judgement!
FOREVER!!
Enjoy!!!!

1) Your scientism religion is left with directed panspermia, which claims that space aliens "seeded" or brought life to Earth, MULTIPLE times, over billions of years! - pffft!

1) a) Equivalence Principle
b) Lorentz Invariance
c) 7 places in the Bible it states that the laws of physics do not change.

Considering you can't even show who wrote the bible or when the bible at best presumes a god and doesn't prove one.

Dr. Max Planck PhD Nobel Laureate said, "All matter originates and exists only by virtue of a force which brings the particle of an atom to vibration and holds this most minute solar system of the atom together. We must assume behind this force the existence of a conscious and intelligent mind. This mind is the matrix of all matter."
@MutsPub Says:
Space-Time theorems (*):
a) "If mass exists and general relativity reliably predicts cosmic dynamics then space and time must be Created, implying a Causal Agent who transcends space and time."
(Hawking, Penrose)
b) "Any universe that expands on average has a beginning, implying a Causal Agent outside of space and time that Creates space, time, matter, and energy."
(Borde, Vilenkin, Guth)
c) *The Bible documents that the Universe is expanding. - See these 5 Biblical Authors and 11 Biblical texts: (Job 9:8, Psalms 104:2, Isaiah 40:22, Isaiah 42:5, Isaiah 44:24, Isaiah 45:12, Isaiah 48:13, Isaiah 51:13, Zechariah 12:1, Jeremiah 10:12, Jeremiah 51:15)
d) *The Bible documents that God is the Causal Agent that Created the Universe (all space, time, matter, and energy) in the beginning. Genesis 1:1)
@MutsPub Says:
1) a) Moses documented 4 correct starting conditions of the early Earth. - Genesis 1
b) Moses also documented 10 Creation events in the correct chronological sequence. - Genesis 1
c) The (Babylonian) Enuma Elish only gets 2 out of these 14 correct.
d) "ALL" other holy books get NONE of the 14 correct! - ZERO!!
2) The Bible is unique in that it is the only Holy Book that gets 14 out of 14 of these events correct! (The Bible is the inerrant word of Yahweh!)
@MutsPub Says:
The Bible states that the Universe is expanding!
@MutsPub Says:
The Bible states that land plants came before sea animals!

So in short, Mr. Gil tells the young man that his Bible class at school was right; the Bible presumes that God exists.
