Re: Summary
Hi Stile,

I do not require obejective, strict, physical verification (although that would be prefered since it is easily understood). I only require some sort of verification that I can do myself which allows me to identify a true-God as opposed to a fake-God.

If someone gives me such a verification method,
Stile the Bible teaches:
Romans 10:14 How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher?
You can't believe if you do not hear and you cannot hear without a preacher. Since you will not listen to a preacher and must make the decision for yourself I asked you to read the book of John. I don't know if it will help or not. I do know it is God's Word. If you are true to yourself and read those words with an open mind I believe God will speak to you.
I would suggest you read it at least 3 time before thinking too strongly about what it is saying. Then read it slowly and thoughtfully while saying Lord if you are there please speak to me. But if at anytime you have thoughts this is true that is God speaking. The same voice that is telling you now that this is just a bunch of bunk you can't trust in it will also be there. Just as he has been for most of this thread. The voice of God has also been there you just keep saying no.
The word has to speak to you and since you will not listen then the only way you can hear it is to read it. If you read 200 words a minute it should take you less than an hour. A thousand words a minute should take about 15 minutes.
Now can you be honest with yourself.
I say if you don't do as I have suggested you are lying to yourself and not being honest.
You say what if it don't work. Then I will continue to pray for you as I have been doing.
God Bless,

"John 5:39 (KJS) Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me."

And I have had those thoughts before, but it was not God speaking, it was me.
I can assure you it was not the devil.
So who was it?
Stile it is nothing to me whether you trust God or not I have done what I am told to do and that is to share the wonderful news that God will give you eternal life if you will receive it.
The only reward I could gain by you trusting God and receiving eternal life is that we would be able to meet one day and possibly explore the far reaches of this magnificent universe we are privileged to live in. You take care now.
God Bless,
And I will be praying for you.
