Jordan Peterson said he avoids answering the question if he believes in the existance of God. Rather, he said, he acts as though God exists.
I think this is a thought provoking statement. Even though we know that acting a certain way, or particular "works" don't gain us eternal life, conversely, saying you believe in God/Jesus Christ, but then not acting as though you do, says a lot about what you truly believe.

I've actually heard his voice and had other experiences that have me absolutely convinced. Im slow and dumb so I take a lot of convincing.
So do you have a relationship with him?

Yes. I also believe that Jesus is his one and only son and he was crucified, died on the cross for our sins and was resurrected 3 days later and he now lives in Heaven but he is coming back soon. Guaranteed.

Yes, I don't know how you can not believe there is a God. Just this last space mission, seeing that big blue marble we call earth floating in space......
Got a photo from a speeding camera in the mail. I immediately sent it back - way too expensive and really poor quality.

So do you have a relationship with him? I do. We talk a lot. I read his instruction manual often and even teach from it once in a while. God has been very kind to me and my family for a long time. I would not want to have to navigate life alone.

Big difference though in believing in God's existence, and obeying God. Just believing in His existence gains you nothing, even the demons believe. Yes

Believing in - i think he's real, Believing on - I've put my trust in him and I am relying on him instead of relying on me. Belief has two parts.

No, I’ll start believing in God when I stop seeing kids with cancer, violent crimes, atrocities, genocides, suffering you name it. Any God that has a divine plan for all of us and inflicts that kind of suffering on the innocent is someone I have no interest in walking with or believing in. I sure would like a believer to explain that one to me. Until then, I’ll take my chances on being wrong and an eternity in (This word is unacceptable on Trapperman). Most of what you mentioned are man on man atrocities, God has nothing to do with it. Assuming atheist believe man is nothing more than an animal, diseases such as cancer are merely natural ways of curtailing the population indiscriminate of age.

Sure the true religion was perverted by Constantine's forced conversion. However, before that took place Christianity was still growing even though Emperors such as Nero burning Christians alive to illuminate his gardens. Must be something to it.

The all knowing, all seeing, has a plan for your life and will guide you through that plan guy has nothing to do with those things mentioned in my original post but has complete control over the things mentioned above? You pray to him to ask him for something or to heal someone and think your prayers were answered when those things happen but it was out of his control and just natural selection when the person you prayed to God to heal didn’t get healed? So he has control of everything or nothing?

If I’m remembering my Protestant upbringing correctly
… the Old Testament says only Jews could go to heaven as they’re the chosen people
… everyone else burned for eternity
… then in the New Testament God changed his mind and said us sorry gentiles were allowed an opportunity if we believed in Jesus his son
… I feel sorry for the poor folk that died before God changed his position lol
Although found in the New Testament, but before the New Covenant, a Samaritan woman accepted the "water that forever satisfies". Rahab, a Canaanite prostitute, went to Heaven. Find her story in the Old Testament book of Joshua.

Rockcrick I may pray for someone's healing but understand that ultimately it is God's will whether they be healed or not. I'm fine with that.
If I were an atheist I would have know problem understanding that human diseases are no different than other animal diseases. I wouldn't curse natural selection.
As for predestination, God may ultimately know what your going to do in life but allows you the free will to choose your path. So you decide whether you are going to punch someone in the mouth, not God. He simply knows before hand what you will choose. You just proved my point. You said it’s God’s will if someone gets healed or not. That sure sounds to me like he has control and could heal an infant with brain cancer if he wanted to. So it’s a toss up between it’s all made up and there is no existence of God in the form you describe (or more likely not at all) or he likes to watch people suffer and let innocent infants die from terrible diseases, accidents, neglect or whatever it is. As per your statement on predestination, So God knows that someone is going to choose to commit an atrocity but has no power to stop it? But everything is his plan? If he is making the plan then why choose that outcome?

Seems to me your vision of God is like a genie in a bottle who is only there to grant your wishes. Otherwise, he does not exist.
Does the lump of clay tell the potter what to make? I don’t think of God as a genie in a bottle. I don’t believe he exists. I don’t believe other religion’s gods exist. I think it’s all nonsense. I think the bible, quran, book of mormon whatever it is were written by powerful people in history so they could manipulate the masses into doing what they wanted. It is pretty easy to control people with the threat of eternal damnation. Why is there so many versions of the bible? How do you know it wasn’t manipulated by kings to control people? The King James version? Sure sounds like King James wanted it rewritten to fit his narrative no? Hypothetical question for you J. If you had a young child, a toddler, that had a terminal illness. You would pray for them yes? You would have other people pray for them like on the church prayer list yes? If that child fought, suffered and ultimately died. Would you say it was gods plan to end their life in a horrible suffering death at 2 years old? Or would you be angry, that the most innocent in the world suffered that fate and start to question your faith. Really put yourself into the shoes of that hypothetical question. I’ve seen the worst things happen to the most innocent and I’ve seen the most evil humans on earth thrive and live a full life. That’s why I can’t get on board with religion. I am more than happy to share my perspectives and debate the subject with you J. You won’t change my mind and I don’t feel like I’ll change your mind but that’s okay to agree to disagree.

I wouldn't like it all but wouldn't blame God either. Of course I believe the Genesis account of man's disobedience leading too the fall from paradise and the consequences that come with it. As far as debate, I'm not much for beating a dead horse. I know I will never change your mind/heart, that's above my pay grade. Take it easy.

Seems to me there is no wrong answers with religion. If the toddler dies they arent suffering anymore and are with god......if they survive it was god answering your prayers. …. One of my favorite stories from the bible is where god told Abraham to sacrifice his son … he tied his boy up and went to stab him to death or something… then an angel showed up and told him god was just kidding dude…. You don’t really have to do it lol …. It’s a weird religion for sure Tis a rather strange belief when a follower is considered blessed for being persecuted. Yet we still follow along.... Must be something to it....

Guy calls on God to curse the children, and God sends down two bears, who slaughter 42 of the kids. Teach them for calling him Baldy!!
