Re: The truth
Hi RR,
​
but if it was ever proven that He doesn't
​
How could anyone prove that God doesn't exist?

Re: The truth
HI RR,
​
Hence the "if".
​
I have no idea how, but just answering the question proposed to me.
​
But by saying 'if' you surely must believe that there is a way to disprove that gods exist.
​
I would have thought that most people would have the opinion that there is no way to disprove that gods exist.
​
But, by you saying 'if' this happens then you would have to accept it.
​
So, how is it possible to prove there is no god?
​
Brian.

Re: I think you are approaching a very important point...
Hi RR,
​
Once you experience this Holy Spirit, you understand why. The Holy Spirit is the truth. It hasn't changed in 2000 years.
​
So, this 'Holy Spirit' is different from the 'spirit' that was with God in Genesis chapter one?
​
Is it the same spirit but it changed 2000 years ago and hasn't changed since?
​
The reason I do not get so hung up on the bible ... is because over the last 2000 years, there has been many translations, and I know there are errors in some versions of the bible. But it is still a good starting point.
​
But, there have been many translations and errors long before 2000 years ago.
​
Also, I contend that it is not 'some versions of the Bible' that contain errors, they ALL do.
​
Brian.
