Re: What CONVINCES you GOD/HEAVEN is real?
When I was depressed and 100% about to kill myself he sent an angel to tell me to not do it or that he would be upset with me because it will be worth hanging around as there are big plans for me.

So far he was right. The same reasons I was so depressed about means nothing now, I was wrong.

Another thing that makes me think alternative lives are possible (not necessarily god) is a dream I had once, well, I dont think it was a dream...

I basically remember having/experiencing a whole other life, from being a kid to dying as a grandfather... maybe around 90yrs that dream lasted.

Then I died in the dream and woke up here... confused... I didnt know where I Was or who I was.... then after a few moments memories just started coming back and I started remembering my name where I was etc... eventually coming back to "normal".

tbh w you, I was pretty pissed off, my other life was a lot more fulfilling, lol.

We know what we were taught to believe. We know the stories and connotations the Bible makes. My question is what personal EXPERIENCE did you experience to cement your belief?

This is an important question.
 Quoting: uhhuh


because I understand and I know its real.. but the heaven people believe in is not the reality.. its not a fluffy place up in the clouds.. Heaven is billions of custom made PLANETS... increasing in grandure as frequency increases in them.

Heaven is also a word derived from the Universe at the very center of Creation.. it is man's goal to get there and on to Paradise.. which is the center of the Central universe of Havona I just mentioned above.

Its a long trip. I took it. Thus I know.. The cosmology book called Urantia (which is the registered name of this world).. covers this and well more plus who Jesus actually is .. who HUMANS actually are... It should be read.

God is the living cosmic creative mind.. but there is a celestial government over the entire creation. That which is the Father of the Trinity...is the origin of Personality and much more.

Its a fascinating read. And it glorifies HUMANS.

The miracles I have seen, the very real dreams I had where I was told things by relatives. Then were correct when I asked family members. The spirits I have seen, felt, heard.

When Jeuss proves that he is God to the believer. What more is there to say? You want to try to deny billions of people's experiences with the true God? How do we know Jesus is the true God? He proves it as only the true God can.

When i say millions can testify to the reality of the spiritual realm i gave a very CONSERVATIVE estimate, i dont take for granted everyone that calls themself a christian have. But christians are not the only ones that can testify to the supernatural, you have all sorts of weird religions out there that is aware of this, you wont find atheists among people deep in the jungle that civilization wont reach, they know the spirits are real. But the bible is the only book that has real history, real prophecy and the can give you the truth on what the spiritual realm is about.

For me, it is not a question of "believing what I was taught."

Before I was taught anything (around the age of three) I KNEW God existed. It was not a question of believing, I KNEW.

Naturally, I grew up in the church and was taught the precepts of Christianity, but all that did was validate what I already knew.

I have often wondered how I instinctively knew something at such a young age that I had little exposure to, much less could comprehend (even grown people have a hard time comprehending God, heaven, an afterlife.)



For those who believe, no explanation is necessary.

For those who do not believe, no explanation is possible.

The Bible's use of Soteria indicates its etymology from Greek mythology, as the word is used to mean "fourfold salvation: saved from the penalty, power, presence and most importantly the pleasure of sin."

My intelligence.. People make the mistake thinking that the idea of God is dumb and only idiots would think of such a thing but actually the idea came from Sue per geniuses originally. It takes high IQ to realize the rationality behind the idea of God. People with lower IQ just say I don’t see anyone there… you are talking to nothing.. don’t you feel stupid etc . .. they don’t realize that the sense to perceive the “invisible man” is intelligence.

Re: What CONVINCES you GOD/HEAVEN is real?
Well, I grew up in a Catholic family, raised by two devout Catholic parents, went to church every Sunday. I had always believed that God existed, but I also had this feeling that there had to be more than what I had experienced so far. I was in my teens and was starting to miss going to Sunday mass and was drifting away from God. I had heard that praying the rosary was a good way to get your prayers answered so I decided to start praying it every day for the intention of feeling love for God. After two weeks of praying it, one night after praying it, this gentle peace settled over me and I was suddenly filled with a great love for God, so much so that I wanted nothing more than to die right then and there and go to be with God and the saints in Heaven. My prayers were answered! That was a pivotal point in my life because I had never experienced such a powerful love for God before and I knew such a love could only have been a gift from God. After that over the years I had a few other moments where I felt the peace of the Holy Spirit after receiving the Eucharist at mass and the sacrament of confession. All I know is that God is real and he loves us a great deal. I'm just a sinner like anyone else, but God wanted to show me his goodness and all I had to do was start praying with a sincere heart.
Pray this prayer to blind Satan:

Perhaps you meant wisdom rather than intelligence.

There are many high IQ people who don't believe there is a God/Creative Source/Prime Creator because it goes against their highly logical minds.

Wisdom is from having encountered many experiences here over many lifetimes that lead us to realize there is much more to this reality than what our senses could perceive, and that there are far too many grand systems in place that could only be possible by intelligent design.

There is nothing wrong in not believing there is a God. Free will allows us to believe what we want to believe while moving along the spiritual path at our own comfortable personal pace. Ultimately, we all will eventually reach a common destination that is love.

Would be nice to not divide people even more by separating people into believers and nonbelievers.

The further we move along the spiritual path to love, the more we will understand that it is okay for others to have different believes than our own while remaining respectful and kind.

Those who are strongly against wars and killing now had killed in wars in this or past lifetimes.

Those who despise deception and scamming now had deceived and scammed others in this or past lifetimes.

Those who strongly embrace God now had dismissed God in this or past lifetimes.

It is all part of growing up spiritually to greater wisdom and benevolent maturity. To becoming united in love, rather than divided in hatred.

1. PERSONAL EXPERIENCE... God gave me a vision of my death in a car crash when a tire blew on a trailer and the next day I slammed on my brakes seconds before it happened. I also have dreams about past lives I have verified to be true.

2. OTHER PEOPLE... The people involved with the UN and Lucifer Publishing have claimed they are in contact with the fallen angels.

3. NATURE... When I have my waterfall on the birds ignore that sound. But when I put on nice music they come from miles around and het excited. Evolution would say they should be most excited over water.

4. VISUAL AGNOSIA... Why did the blind man say he saw people like trees then Jesus had to heal him a second time? That's a medical condition called visual agnosia we didn't even know about until a few decades ago.
