anonymous1: I am getting tired of people trying to get me to prove Christians exist, because I don't believe "atheists" exist.
So here is another question to consider...
Can anybody prove Christians exist?
Maybe the question to be asked is this. Can anyone prove Christians don't exist? Maybe in trying to prove Christians don't exist one will find that Christians do indeed exist.
I agree with you. I only asked this question because of another thread I was looking at in which the the question was Can Anyone Prove Christians Exist?

Most of the things mentioned here I have been given or had done for me including my dream house being built for me. I have had the weekend getaways, the flowers, the jewelry, romantic dinners, poems and songs written for me along with love letters. Can't think of anything off hand that I might find nice.
The foundation upon which our faith rests is this, "that God was reconciling the world to Himself in Christ, not counting men's sins against them. The great fact on which genuine faith relies is, that "The Word became flesh and made His dwelling among us," and that "Christ died for sins once for all, the righteous for the unrighteous, to bring you to God;" "He Himself bore our sins in His body on the tree;" "the punishment that brought us peace wasupon Him, and by His wounds we are healed." (Charles Spurgeon
"It is the power of God to salvation for everyone who believes". Romans 1:16 (NKJV) The Greek word for slavation used by Paul literally means "deliverance" or "preservation". In a spiritual context, the idea is rescue from the power and dominion of sin. Jesus Christ, on the basis of His sacrificial death on the Cross in the place of sinners, as the Author and Provider of salvation. This spiritual delieverance is graciously and lovingly offered by God to all people, but only those who repent and trust in Jesus will experience its blessings. (See John 3:16; Ephesians 2:8; Hebrews 2:3)
Here is an interesting quote. I am interested in seeing what responses it invokes.
?"There are those, of course, who deny that they need any form of authority. They are the popular atheists and agnostics. Such men say that they must be shown by 'reason' whatever they are to accept as true. But the great thinkers among non-Christian men have taken no such position. They know that they cannot cover the ...whole area of reality with their knowledge." - Cornelius Van TilIt will be interesting to see if the focus will be on the quote, or if opponents will take the cheap road and just try to bash Van Til. That’s the best trick utilized by those who argue against God. They cannot argue against His plan or His message, so they spend their time arguing against His book, or His people because they are less than perfect. The plan of salvation, for all humanity, is so simple. Yet most still of you reject it. For you, everything has to be PROVEN. We forget, only in a world where faith is difficult, is faith possible.
Because of how busy things are in my life these days, It might be a long time before I make it back to this thread, so you all have fun. I wish I had more time to play. I truly miss mixing it up with you guys. Take care and God bless all of you
