"I was saved in a revival meeting put on by a traveling evangelist and afterward prayed and prayed for Jesus to let me know of his existence to appear to speak to me" - Nick

Could there have been lack of faith involved?

I have been reading your posts Nicolai, and believe I have figured you out. You are not as ignorant as you pretend to be. Do you get some kind of weird kick out of playing the antagonist? By bisecting your speech, syntax, and word choice I deduce that you have about an 8th grade education, you may have finished high school, but just barely. Due to some bad breaks in life, probably a 'less than happy' childhood, and not being able to accomplish many of your childhood dreams - you have become bitter, resentful, and decided to be that 'deliberate thorn in everyone's side' because you're unhappy. Well, that is your choice of course, but all in all it just makes you seem ignorant and proud to be so. Trust me, you would have a much better time and may even make a few friends if you drop the "I am Stupid" act and just be the person God intends for you to be. Am I right......? I'll wait..........

Great video, Nikky's failure to do his part is intentional. Some serve God the rest serve Satan.

I agree with Eagleye's response to your inane post that "I was saved in a revival meeting put on by a traveling evangelist and afterward prayed and prayed for Jesus to let me know of his existence to appear to speak to me" - Nick.
That does not square with what 'being saved' really is. One is saved by the acknowledgment we are sinners, but accepting (on faith) that Jesus actually paid the penalty. It's not demanding God to appear and speak to you and then claiming this was your salvation experience. The sinner has to (humbly) meet God on His terms and not the other way around. No wonder you haven't heard anything from Him!

The changes take so many generations so as to be un-noticeable but some of those that look alike, are already different enough that they might no be able to breed.

It is difficult to think in terms of tens and hundreds of thousands and millions of years.

Also, when discussing evolution, it must be remembered that it has nothing to do with the origin of life.

"No I don't believe in miracles I believe in science and the natural laws of the universe."

Why? Does it require belief? How do you know it's always been as it is now? How do you even know it's the same in other galaxies?

Please add to that: When confronted by the Pharisees, Sadducee and Jewish leaders of the day about "what sign could he give to prove his authority on earth" - Jesus said, "I will tear down this temple and build it back up in three days." Those looking for a 'sign' have already received it - most just don't recognize it for what it is. sad.

Are you really saying that you believe Darwin's theory? If so, please explain "where that first atom" came from.....I'll wait.......

This is childish, Nik, shows an incredible lack of intellectual maturity.

How old were you in 1945? 5 or 6 maybe? And, at that age you gave Jesus his chance to reveal himself to you, to prove his existence, and then, for the rest of your life, you waited for an answer? Really, Nik, do you expect us to believe that you actually have any desire at all to hear from Him?

You're lying, Nik, I know this because you are not the only atheist who has told a similar tale, I can't count the times I've seen versions of the same story posted by atheists, naturalists and secular humanists.

"I asked Jesus (or God) to reveal himself, and I haven't heard a thing from him".

This is mockery--spiteful, self-serving mockery--it is a truly childish attempt to rationalize disbelief and justify your rejection of something infinitely greater than your petty ego.

Jesus doesn't have to prove anything to you, it's the other way around.

About the laws of science and nature, scientists discovered these laws, they did not invent them? The forces that control the universe existed before any human ever showed up on this planet. Where did the laws of science and nature come from, Nik? How did they all assemble themselves with such precision that they could combine and interact to produce a perfectly balanced and finely tuned dynamic physical system, a system in which life is possible? The odds against that happening by random chance are beyond astronomical. There is a phenomenal intelligence governing the laws of science and nature, so where did these laws come from?

Blade: I have determined that Nick is one of those weird people who gets a kick out of being an antagonist. While he may not fully understand Christ and salvation (we know its a life long process), he does understand plain English. There used to be another called "Loki" who does the same thing. These people are not seeking honest, logical, rational thought -but just to sow confusion and aggravation. I -like you - am more than willing to help him gain a better understanding of Christ - but so far he has not responded to my posts. The bible teaches that "some will be given over to a depraved mind" and only Christ himself can save them. I pray for those like Nicki, because the God I serve actually wants each one of us to be saved. But as you and others have shared with Nicki - "salvation comes by faith and accepting the gift that Christ alone offers." He seems to have no intention to discover what that really means. sad.

The only fair thing to do would be to represent multiple faiths with symbols of multiple religions, perhaps a Koran, a Bible, a Jewish star, none of them would bother me.

Ya know Nicky you post all sorts of stuff all over the board and it's hard to tell what you're dishing out is BS and or just ignorance of spiritual matters !

You are correct Jesus doesn't make appearances like that any more as those appearances served their purpose .
++++++
Now you say you were saved in 1945 in a revival meeting if this is true then """ God right then and here made himself known to you """!
++++++
He convicted you of your sin and if you truly repented and were baptized into Jesus death burial and resurrection then you were saved !
++++++
Next you said I prayed and prayed for God Jesus to reveal himself to me, to give me a sign of his existence, to speak to me !
++++++
Now when God didn't do as you commanded him to do then there is no God so the last 70 plus yrs you have talked yourself into the there is no God !

When Jesus appeared to his disciples after he arose out of the grave Thomas wasn't with them at the time .

When they told Thomas about seeing Jesus he didn't believe them !

Thomas you wanted evidence, proof; look, see for yourself! "Eight days
later the disciples were again together in the house, and Thomas was
with them. Although the doors were locked, Jesus came and stood among
them and said, 'Peace be with you!'

Then he said to Thomas, 'Put your finger here, and examine my hands.
Extend your hand and put it into my side. Do not continue in your unbelief, but believe.'

Thomas replied to him, 'My Lord and my God!' Jesus said to him, 'Have you believed because
you have seen me?

===== Blessed are the people who have not seen and yet have believed'" ======

Just like Thomas everyone that comes to the Lord MUST BELIEVE that Jesus is God there is no other way and Jesus is not going to come to you in the form of a person like he did with his disciples !

That dog just will not hunt period !

So now it falls on YOU Nicky are you really serious in finding and knowing God or are you going to continue on down the road mad because God didn't make himself appear to you in the way you wanted ?

Without FAITH no one can please God !

It is not likely Nick is going to figure that out.
He is trapped in his self made prison.

Amen to that, brother!

Right, true, but brainless blind Nikky doesn't want to see. He is getting MORE attention this way.
