Would seeing the sea part make you believe in God?

[King of Rasslin]

"for a while" being the key word there. Myths like King Arthur died out as literacy and knowledge improved. But nothing can explain the whole Red Sea moving.

If God parted the sea regularly that could be an aid to global transportation.

[King of Rasslin]

How about I make it even simpler? How about, I can feel God in my heart so I know He exists. You can't argue with that, my friends!

[Al B. Sure!]

Rasslin:

Well that's probably because we lack the historical data to disprove it. We know that King Arthur did not exist as the king with Lancelot and the knights of the round table because we have historical information that shows that there was no such king in Western European history from the fall of Rome to the present day.

We do not have Egyptian records to prove or disprove the Red Sea parting... all we have is the bible. If all we had was Arthurian legends then you could say that was truth with as much certain as you now say the sea parting is truth.

Well it can't be proved it happened either, so it's legend IMO that's been claimed to be the truth!

BTW why do you believe in God and not Allah? What's God got that Allah hasn't?

I bet if you were born in Saudi Arabia, you'd be a Muslim

[Al B. Sure!]

Rasslin:

Are you an idiot... I just posted that damn thing...

Faith is something from within.... from the heart and mind and can not be proved by 'science' or even 'experience'. It is 'proved' as well as it can be in your own mind.

That's the only thing one can not disprove... faith. good you finally caught on after twenty minutes... damn.


thanks

But God isn't what I make up, like you think! It isn't "from within." I don't place God in myself, He places himself in me. See what I mean?

No, could you elaborate a bit more pelase?

No comments on the evolution miracle thing here?
Explain it to me, my friends, why do you guys have faith enough to believe the entire universe popped out of one particle that popped out of nothing, but do you concider believing that God parted the red sea is a like believing a fairy tale?

[King of Rasslin]

Mobius, Allah is false. God is real. Although one would argue that they are the same, they are not. One of them believes in peace, justice, and all that is good. The other believes in suicide bombings and terrorism. A loving god would never, ever encourage that, although Muslims claim Allah is loving.

God created us and he loves us. He would never want us to blow each other up.

[Al B. Sure!]

CyberShy:

Oh it's the same thing... the scientist claims to have definitive proff but it is nothing but theories... and that's assuming that even if measured proff of the universe's forming was discovered, that it would be objective


thanks

"Allah is false, God is real"...

what crap is this

[The Pioneer]

What God? There is no God, if I ever saw a the sea cut in two there will be an explanation for that. It's the same with the Gods of Olymp, God is a myth and at some point we will uncover/explain/find out that there is no God for example by meeting other lifeforms from other planets or something similar.

[King of Rasslin]

"No, could you elaborate a bit more pelase?"

I mean, I don't place my own deity within me, and totally go on faith to believe in him. I don't just believe in God through faith, I KNOW he is there! The way people say "God is what you make him to be" is why there are Hindus and Muslims corrupting our world. God being within you is just a manifestation of what is already there, not something that you have willingly done. Putting faith in God is accepting Him, not making him up.

Have you ever wondered why we always seem to get this moony christianity almost exclusively from US posters?
