Date: Tue, 11 May 2004 19:16:19 -0700 From: jsievert@web.truepath.com To: editor@godsproof.com Subject: Web Page Comments and Questions Form Contact_FullName: M.......... Comment: I come to you in desperation. I have had no faith for pretty much all of my “adult" life. Ever since I've found out that the world is a crying sh*thole, disgusting filthy with horrible doings and evil, I have a real bad outlook on it. I know I should be more positive, but I just can’t find the light. I've never felt him, I've begged, I've prayed, but nothing. I can't have faith for something I can't feel, its a joke. I'm scared, I feel so alone. All I want is to feel the presence that all these f**king christians, catholics, jews and whatever claim to feel. They have a f**king smile on their face because they know when they die, everything will be ok....I on the other hand, do not feel that. I don't fear death, I fear after death. This "god" that supposedly exists has never given me any reason to feel him. Follow the bible? F**k that, that bible was written by man, no proof of a holy existance there. I could write a book about a holy bunny and have 16 people believe in it, then thousands of years from now people could see that as religion. I feel it’s the same thing with the bible. I'm scared because I want faith, I wanna feel it, but I can't. I need help. I don't wanna go to church, that shouldn't be neccisary, neither should crying for his help, I've wasted 17 years of my life on that (to him thats not that long, but for me thats more than half my life). Its HIS turn to come to me I think, unless I’m wrong. I just need help, I'm scared, I'm lost, I know not what I do wrong. I'm full of sin, I’m probably destined for hell.....I don't want to be though.

If you read the "About Us" section on my web site you’ll see that I too was disillusioned with what I was taught about the Bible. My rational mind couldn't (or wouldn't) believe what appeared to be mythology. If it couldn't hold up to scrutiny then why believe it. If it made statements that ran contradictory to the known laws of science then it should be discarded. Or if it contradicted itself, then it should be discarded. If there was a world wide flood (Noah and the Ark), then where's the evidence to show that it took place. What about dinosaur's? Does the Bible mention anything about that? How did we get so many different races of people if we all descended from one man (Adam)? How is it that we can see star light from billions of light years away when the Bible says that creation is only about 6000 years old? In order for me to accept the Bible as truth, it had to give me an answer for these and thousands of other questions. If it couldn't, then why believe it? I might as well go and believe anything I wanted; follow any religion that made me feel good about myself. Maybe one with a holy bunny. (Call it Harveyism. His prophet would be Jimmy Stewart and we would all live a "Wonderful Life".) A good friend of mine that I've know for years, who is a Buddhist, asked me: What is the purpose of all these "proofs".
He said, "Isn't faith blind?". I asked him, "Would you let a stranger watch your children?" He said, "Of course not". I said, "Why?". He said, "Because I can't trust them, I don't know them". I said, "Would you let me watch your children?" He said, "Yes, I would." I said, "Why?" He said, "Because I know you, I can trust you." I said, "Why do you trust me?" He said, "Because you've proven yourself worthy to be trusted." I said, "In other words, you would put your faith in me because I have proven myself to you. I've shown you through my actions that I can trusted. I’ve made promises to you and have kept them. I said I would be there for you and I was. Therefore, your faith in me is not blind; it's based upon proof." He said, "Oh...I see."
For me and many other Christians, faith is not blind. I would be an extremely gullible person if I just believed in something without proof; without hard core evidence. In fact, if there is no proof for the God of the Bible, then all the Christians around the world are the biggest bunch of fool's this planet has ever seen. You stated that the Bible was written by man and there was no proof of a holy existence there. Are you sure? If you were like me, you only gave it a cursory glance and then determined it wasn't real. But how far did you go into your examination before you came to that conclusion? I'm guessing that it was only superficial. You stated that you want faith. Will you give me the opportunity to show you what the Lord has shown me? I know you don't know me; however, if you would like to speak with me, one on one, I would be happy to do that. It can be on neutral ground (i.e. Starbucks, McDonalds, etc.) or over the phone. If you prefer to speak through email that's okay as well. I live in Franklin, IN and my home phone is 317-346-0696. You're more than welcome to give me a call. I know how you feel. I've felt the same way. For me, I came to the point where it was either put up or shut up. Thank you for your honest candor. I appreciate that kind of honesty...and so does God. Call me or reply to this email.

To: editor@godsproof.com Subject: Re: Web Page Comments and Questions Form Thank you for the response. I would like to communicate. I live in ***** so abviously I can't come see you.....phone bill might be high too so email would be awesome. Your right, I do want faith, and your also right that I haven't really read too much into the bible. I honestly never wanted to because being that it was written by a human and has been translated, edited and changed so many times over the centuries (the old and new testiments) its hard for me to even consider reading it. I just want to feel the presence that so many claim to feel....I feel so alone, I feel like he's forgotten me if he exists. If I have a guardian Angel, why can't he communicate with me? Its not fair. Why can't god just let us all believe in him. I mean, it was easy for people thousands of years to believe in faith (if the bible facts are true) because it was in your face proof. Tons of people saw the sea split with Moses....the disciples SAW jesus heal someone. Egypt felt AND saw the angel Gabriel strike their newborns and locust sand plague and so forth, so abviously it was easy for them to believe. Our generation hasn't seen any miracles like that....it just leaves me like a blind sheep. I need guidence...yes I would like to communicate. I am an agnostic, which means I neither believe nor deny him...but I'm trying to choose. 1 ************************************************************************************** editor@godsproof.com wrote: Hello M..., When my wife saw your name she thought that sounded familiar. She asked a friend of hers if she knew "M........" and she said, yes I do...he worked with my husband. However, as it turns out, that was a different M..... here in Indiana. I'm curious, how did you find my web site? I'm guessing it was through a search engine or something. I understand your issues with the Bible. I had the same objections. Mine was more alone the lines of: "Well God, if you say your Word is true, then which one is it? There's so many out there and they all say something a little different than the next, so tell me God....which one?" I was being a bit sarcastic at the time. If I could show you that man did not establish it, nor did he keep it, but God and Him alone, would you be willing to take the time to investigate it? I'm asking you this because most of this will require a commitment on your part to study various resources. I know you want to feel God; however, you won't "feel" Him if you don't believe in Him. You're not going to believe in Him, if you cannot trust Him. And you won't trust Him, if there's nothing to show you (prove to you) that He is worthy to be trusted. The Bible says over in Romans 10:17 "So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God". In other words, faith comes by hearing the word of God (the Bible). However, if you cannot trust it, then you cannot go any further. The faith that you're looking for will never be found if you cannot trust in the "thing" through which it comes. The faith that you see in a Christian comes from a deep rooted trust that they have in Christ. That trust is grounded in evidence. Or as the Bible puts it: "many infallible proofs" In order for the Bible to be taken seriously there must be a way to establish it's authenticity. It must be demonstrated that it's origins did not originate from men. Not to put words in your mouth, however, I think I can safely say that you believe: If a human engineered the Bible then I won't believe it? If that's true, then I'm in full agreement with you on that statement. You stated that it was easy for the people in the past to believe because it was in their face. However, did you realize that only 2 people out of the original group that left Egypt went into the promised land. The Bible says they didn't enter in because of unbelief (Heb 3:19) Imagine that. Talk about blowin' it. And there was over a million men (not counting women and children) that left Egypt. Or, how about when Christ was around. Many people came for the "show" (the miracles). When Christ made it clear to them about what it would take to be His disciple; many left and didn't come back. Just the same as God had given them the "in your face" type of proof; He has also given that to us. In fact, the apostle Peter said that prophecy was more sure, then an eye witness account (2 Peter 1:19). In fact, evidences that substantiate the Bible have increased a thousand fold in just the last few decades. If you can afford it I want you to pick up a book called: Cosmic Codes: Hidden Messages by Chuck Missler Hardcover: 400 pages ; Dimensions (in inches): 1.54 x 9.28 x 6.44 Publisher: Koinonia House; (March 1999) ISBN: 1578210933 You can go to Amazon to get it: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/1578210933/qid=1084569718/sr=8- 1/ref=pd_ka_1/002-4333128-4264825?v=glance&s=books&n=507846 Chuck Missler's web site is www.khouse.org If you cannot afford it, I'll buy it for you and have it shipped to where ever you like. Consider this your first step in finding faith. The language at times can be a bit scholastic; however, it is understandable. Also, do me a favor and take this simple online test when you've got time: http://www.livingwaters.com/good/ There's some fundamental concepts that you need to understand, and this little test will help in that. Also, do you have a Bible? If not, then please get one. If you can't afford it, I will get one to you. You can also go to this location to read one online at: http://bible.gospelcom.net/ If you're willing to stick with me, I'll stick with you. This will take time; however, this is the most important question you need to get an answer to. I'll pray for you and ask the Lord to give you knowledge and understanding on these matters. Also, please don't think you need to check you mind at the door when you study these topics. Be certain to bring it along with you as I'm sure you will. Ask me any question. I may not have it, but I will look for it. Let's get started. God Bless, Jeff S.
P.S. You said in your first letter that you've begged and prayed for Him but got nothing. I must say......He did hear you, because if he didn't, then why are you and I talking? :0)

--- editor@godsproof.com wrote: M....., You ask some challenging questions, I like that. Sorry I didn't immediately get back to you. The simple answer to your question is yes. But, for me, it has come through prayer, through other Christians, through circumstances and especially through studying the Bible. Discernment takes time, and I'm no expert. Through the Bible I've learned the nature and character of God; and He will never give you an answer to a question that runs contradictory to His Word. There are times when I will "put out a fleece". That's an expression based on what Gideon did in the Bible when he wanted confirmation from God.
As you can tell, Gideon wanted to be absolutely sure that he understood what God was telling Him to do. I did this once, and only once, when I needed guidance from the Lord. My wife and I felt led by the Lord to return to the church I grew up in. To be honest with you I didn't want to go back. However, the more we prayed, the more we felt led to return back there. I wanted to be sure of this so I asked the Lord to have somebody in our current church to come up and tell us "this" or "that". Within a few weeks somebody we respect in the church came up to me and told me what we needed to hear. Which was that we needed to return to the church of my youth. The church that we were at didn’t want us to leave, however, they too felt the Lord was calling us into another congregation. The Lord always works through the Body of Christ (true believers). When the apostles felt led of the Lord to go somewhere they took it to fellow believers to pray about it before they went. If I was you, I wouldn't focus so much on visions, audible voices, dreams, etc. When you look at the time span involved within the Bible, you will notice that visions, dreams, and so forth didn't happen all that often. Now, I'm not saying that they don't happen anymore; however, God has given us better evidences than these things. The reason you need to be careful when looking for these things is because, God’s enemy, which is Satan, can manifest himself as an angel of light (2 Corinthians 11:14). He is capable of masquerading as a benevolent force. The apostle Peter talked about his experience on the mount of transfiguration (When Jesus was transformed into His full glory and sat with Moses and Elijah - Matthew 17; Mark 9). Peter stated that even though he was an eye witness to such an incredible event; there was something that was even better than that; Prophecy (2 Peter 1:16-21). The reason why prophecy is better than visions or dreams or eye witness accounts is because only God can see the end from the beginning; Satan can not.
Only the Bible, out of all the "holy" books, contains predictive prophecy. The book of Daniel had so much predictive prophecy, that many critics tried to "late date" the book. It was so accurate that, for the critics, the only logical answer was that it was written after the fact. Unfortunately for them, the discovery of the Dead Sea Scrolls proved the authenticity and the accuracy of the prophecies of the Bible. I hope that answers your question. God Bless, Jeff
************************************************************************************** Date: Sun, 16 May 2004 21:42:31 -0700 (PDT) From: m..... To: editor@godsproof.com Subject: Re: Web Page Comments and Questions Form actually, that did clear up a few of my thoughts. Hmmmm....you say that you prayed for God to have someone from your old church prove your feelings, that god wanted you to return to the old church, and then a few weeks later someone did. Most would call that a coincidence. Do you think that coincidences are actually prayers being answered? Also, since you brought up satan (I'm sorry for this) but it has sprang up a whole new set of questions, heh. I've always wondered, if God is Satan's enemy, and Satan is God's enemy, and God is supposedly the most powerful of anything, why doesn't he destroy satan? Why does hell exist? Don't you think it's a little harsh to send someone who committed sins in a temporary life to be sent to an ETERNAL pain realm? Don't you think they would learn their lesson in at least 100 years time in hell? But eternity? Thats soooo horribly harsh in my opinion. God is suppose to love us, forgive us...but he would do that kind of thing to us? It sounds like god need's a hug lol, no offense to the big guy up there. But yeah, why doesn't he destroy hell and the devil? 1
**************************************************************************************
M...., These are some very good questions, and we will get to all of them; however, if you can, lets try to take it one step at a time. I promise you, we will get to all of them. Like my mom would always say; "Patience is a virtue". When I was little I thought patience meant a painful agonizing experience. To some degree that still holds true. You're right, some would call that a coincidence. Many critics will say that certain things that happened in the Bible were coincidence. However, as the Jews say; "Coincidence is not a kosher word". I appreciate your objections, they will play a vital part in your discernment of all this stuff. Have you gone through that little online test yet? When you have let me know. God Bless, Jeff
************************************************************************************** I sent a second email after the one above. **************************************************************************************
M..., I wanted to quickly throw some things at you that you will learn later on. I'll just throw these points out very quickly. I'm sorry I don't have time to expound on each of these. I'm at work and its lunch time so I don't have much time. 1. God doesn't want anyone to perish but all come to repentance.
This verse also shows that God is being patient with us; waiting for us to come to repentance. 2. God's grace that brings salvation has gone out to everyone.
Grace means unmerited favor. In other words, we don’t deserve it. It is not of our efforts (works) that we obtain salvation. 3. God's Word which brings faith in Him has gone out to the entire world.
The bottom line is that God doesn't want anyone to go to Hell. That was never His desire; however, if you want someone to willfully choose to love you, you also have to give them the option to not love you. God has given us the freewill to choose Him or to deny Him. However, denial comes with a price. Also, God didn't wait for us to come to Him, He came to us first.
He has not denied us, but many have denied Him. Hell exists because God is just. The Bible says that the wages of sin is death (Rom 6:23). Wages is something you've earned; like wages at work. Therefore we've earned death by sinning. And the death referred to is eternal separation from God in Hell. In order to understand Hell, it's existence, and why it's eternal, you must understand God's righteousness. We may think that our sins are petty and only deserve a short sentence; however, they must be seen from God's perspective and not ours. Telling one lie to us may seem petty; however, the Bible says that even if you break the smallest matter of the Law you're guilty of the whole thing.
His standard of righteousness is so high, that no one can reach it. No one is good. When you take that online test (http://www.livingwaters.com/good/), you'll see what I mean.
The good things that we do (our righteousness) are like a filthy rag to God. The phrase "filthy rag" is referring to a used menstrual cloth. Our goodness, or righteousness, is nothing to be compared to His. We cannot meet His standards. We've broken His Law (the Ten Commandments). (Again, the online test will show you that.) That's why we need Jesus, who was made sin for us, to take away our sins and make us righteous before God.
I know I'm quoting a lot from the Bible, which (currently) you feel was written by men. However, if (just if), if the Bible was written by God, then you'll need to seriously consider all these things. I hope I haven't driven you away with all of this. I know you have a ton of questions and I hope I can answer them for you. But again...like mom always says; "Patience is a virtue". Not to harp on this point (which was what my message was about on Sunday); but, God has given us evidence both within us and outside of us to show that He desperately wants us to come to Him. He's begging and pleading for us to respond to Him by accepting the sacrifice He made for us. We don't have to work to get it; but to first, repent of our sins, and then put our faith (trust) in Jesus Christ. Because there is no other way to heaven the Bible says.
God pulled out all the stops and gave us His best, His Highest to pay for our sins. When you realize the price that was paid for your sins, you'll then fully realize how terrible and retched your sins really are. Then you’ll understand why Hell is the way it is. If I could put this into financial terms; if I understand you correctly, you see your sins as only carrying a debt load of say; 1 billion dollars. Its a large debt; but one that can be paid. However, God sees your sins as being more than all of creation. Your debt is eternal; it must be paid with a perfect payment; an eternal payment. When Christ died on the cross, His last words were: It is finished.
In the Greek, the phrase, it is finished is one word (teleo {tel-eh'-o}); which means paid in full. Meaning a debt was paid in full, or discharged. Only God could pay the debt that was owed for your sins. He didn’t pay with gold, or silver, or the blood of calves and goats, but His own blood. He became a man, (God was manifest in the flesh 1 Tim 3:16), so that He could redeem us from our own sins. God established the method of payment for sins to be the shedding of blood.
The Old Testament sacrificial system pointed to Jesus Christ. A good example of this was the Passover lamb that was sacrificed at Passover. John the Baptist said of Christ in John 1:29b; Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world. The Passover lambs pointed to our Passover sacrifice, Jesus Christ, that took away our sins.
Well so much for making this just a quick note. I wish I could just give you a brain dumb and let you think about everything the Lord has shown me. I’ve seen so much of His evidence that in the beginning it was coincidental to me. But now, there’s to much there to pass off as mere happenstance. We’ll talk again. God Bless, Jeff

M...., Well shoot...I really put some time into that one. I'll just start from the beginning I guess. God doesn't want anyone to be lost and He is very patience with us by waiting for us to repent.
To put it in a more modern tongue, here it is in the New Living Translation:
I think that is more direct and to the point of your question about God giving you a chance. God obviously understands the issue of faith. Remember that faith in essence is trust. God has given us a number of things by which we can trust Him. He's given us evidence in creation to know that He exists and that He is the creator of all things. He's given us evidence from history and archeology to know that His Word can be validated. He's given us a conscience to know right and wrong. He's given us predictive prophecy to know that the origin of His Word did not come from men. He's given us His Word and preserved it to know Him personally. He's given us a void in our lives that is meant to cause us to search for Him in the hope that we will find Him (This is what you are currently experiencing). God understands that you are trying to sort all of this out. He made you. He knows every hair upon you head (Matt 10:30), and every thought that passes through your mind (1 Cor 3:20). You said in your responce that you're "begging for his light". Listen to the words of Jesus in John 8:12;
Over and over again...Jesus Christ is shown to be the light that you're begging for:
The light that you are begging for is knocking at the door of your heart. Jesus said in Revelation 3:20
I'm not sure if you have yet received the book I recommended; however, you might also want to begin reading in the Gospel of John. This is a good place to start to find out who Jesus was. For it says in John 20:31
(If you don't have a Bible you can read one online at http://www.biblegateway.com/) God certainly has let a number of things slide for a time. However, there will come a time when that will all end and Judgment will begin. God is strict when it comes to His Law (the Ten Commandments). James 2:10 says;
How many laws do you have to break before the police come after you? Just one. If you've told one lie, that is enough to kick you out of heaven. In fact, God would be justified in doing so. However, God in his infinite grace and mercy made a way for you. He doesn't want to loose you. 1 Peter 1:18 says;
God pulled out all the stops and gave His best for you. He knew you could not meet the requirements of His Holy Law, so God is His infinite love for you (1 John 4:8b says; ...God is love) sacrificed God the Son to take your place. "For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him." (2 Corinthians 5:21) God cannot let His Law slide; however, He has made a way through Jesus Christ who kept the Law. Jesus said in Matthew 5:17;
Therefore His righteousness (sinlessness) is imputed (credited) to those that believe on Him. When you repent of your sins (forsake them and turn away from them) and receive Jesus Christ as your redeemer, by not only believing, but by putting your full faith (trust) in Him, you will then pass from death to life (John 5:24) and your sins will no longer be counted against you. They are nailed to the cross.
Once you do that you will be declared righteous (made right) in the sight of God. Then you will receive the Holy Spirit, which will guide you and conform you to the image of Christ. You will be declared a child of God and will inherit the Kingdom to come. Jesus Christ is the light you are begging for. I love you friend and I hope that you will receive the Light that God has made available to you by asking Him into your life. There's nothing special to it. Just admit that you've broken His law, but you want to receive the payment that Christ made for you on the cross. Then read your Bible daily and ask God to put you into fellowship with other Christians so that you may grow in knowledge and wisdom. I hope to see you in heaven some day. I know that we did not meet by accident. You are one of a few people I know that has a strong desire to know the truth. Many walk in darkness and enjoy staying there. But you are seeking the truth. Christ said in John 14:6; "...I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me." God Bless you friend. I'm here for you. In Christ, Jeff

After I sent this email I didn't hear from M..... for several months. M... did respond when I asked him if I may post our email conversations. He indicated to me that he will be attending a church service here soon As of this moment (3/12/2005), he is still looking for the Light of the World. Please pray for his salvation. He is very precious to the Lord and He doesn't want to loose him.
