Your comment reminds me of the hordes that believed the writings of Erich Von Daniken. The guy just made up stuff, even Bible quotes and interpretations, from whole cloth and people ran around quoting his drivel.
As one raise atheist by two school leftist teachers who only let me read and would not buy a TV, when I discovered the living GOD I spent 2 yrs trying to disprove HIS word. I read the books claiming it had errors and contradictions, THEN I read the books by the Bible experts addressing those claims, *THEN* I studied the Hebrew and Greek, (etc) to verify the truth. IN my 50 yrs knowing GOD there have been THOUSANDS of things discovered in math, physics, archeology etc that prove the truth of GOD's word. Metaxas does a humorous and pithy job of hitting the high points in "Is Atheism Dead?". The truly eager to learn will prefer "More Evidence That Demands A Verdict" by McDowell.
A simple syllogism for you to consider:
Is there a GOD?
Is HE all powerful?
Does HE love us?
If HE does, would HE lie to us?
If you can't agree the right answer to those is Y-Y-Y-N
then there is no point in going on. You owe it to yourself to look into the THOUSANDS of undeniable proofs that GOD's word is right...every time.
If you won't do that you are living in a world of argumentum ad ignorantiam. And GOD will hold you responsible for refusing to seek HIM as HE prescribed.
If you do have the personal integrity to seek HIM HIS way than HE will be found. HE always is by those who come humbly, willingly, and open.
satan and his minions are happy to help anyone believe anything other than exactly what GOD says - hence all of the cults and denominations.
We can't know everything here but GOD will open up HIS word and the truth to us AS WE SEEK HIM. This is why the two "Ask-Seek-Knock" passages are written in the GK 'continuous present tense'.
GOD promised to open up truth as things get closer to the end. HE also warns us deception and demonic sign will increase. And HE tells us that those who do not know HIM will not know when HE will return...NOT EVERYONE, just those who do not know HIM.
Behold, He is coming with the clouds, and every eye will see Him, even those who pierced Him; and all the tribes of the earth will mourn over Him. So it is to be. Amen.
Yes, my mother seemed somewhat moved toward GOD. My father accepted the LORD as did one of my three siblings. The other two siblings give hints that direction but are less than forthcoming.
Here's a bit more info that may be of interest:
My wife and I, both from crappy homes, were brought together by GOD. We had 4 miracle kids and believed GOD that they would never depart from HIM. They all played instruments, all became world-class athletes, they graduated with 'high honors' minimum, two were 'summa' and one missed by less than a tenth of a point. They adore each other (not something my wife or I ever had). They are all very successful and pay to gather us and their mates together a couple of times a year. We are VERY blessed and GOD is the one who made it all happen as we sought him and obeyed HIS leadings. (www.gravesjudo.com) Click names in upper left area.
Amen Janice! God is always faithful to His Word and His covenants. He is worthy of our trust and our obedience.
Biglino's "The Naked Bible" is a great read... I wish all religious nutrolls here would read it completely.

Wow thought provoking - thank you! Did your parents ever learn of your beliefs?

What a testimony - wow - thanks for sharing!
LOVE LOVE LOVE!!! your response... too bad there's no LOVE button, only LIKE
Jesus, you sure are a insipid wind-bag.
Did you read Biglino... or are you living in a world of argumentum ad ignorantiam?
Only a low cretin would comment on something he is AFRAID to even read. pathetic.
And what happened to "judge not, lest ye be judged"?? YOU will burn in hellfire for eternity for threatening me on "GOD's" behalf.
Smell ya later, douchebag.
I always love an intelligent and incitement reply that is focused on the important points.
Have you ever tried one of those?
