i know because i have felt it.... it is more than just happiness or whatever you may call it...

[julzabro]

@venci27 well, in order to "know", you'd have to have proof. You don't know, you just believe.

[venci27]

@julzabro i know he is true... well.. ijust said the thing earlier because some may ask what if my God is not true... i can't persuade them to believe me so that'll be my answer... i know and sure that my God is alive and is true

@venci27 well, that's great for you but I would say it this way....you want to believe your God is true so you simply claim that you "know" but u really don't know.

[venci27]

@julzabro i know my God is true.. so i believe...

[julzabro]

@venci27 I don't have any reason to choose ANY of the mythological deities humans have fictionalized about and that has been my whole point to u....which, apparently, u missed. There's no way 2 know that any god is real. Hope can do just as much good in your life as faith and it is actual positive thinking not fake. One doesn't need faith to be loving...in fact, those without it r much more genuine. If u know your God is "not true" y believe?

[venci27]

@julzabro well... its a matter of choice... choose the one you are sure of... but don't regret if you chose the wrong one... me... if my God (though i know is not true) is not alive... well, i know This faith made me a loving person and would not regret it....

[julzabro]

@venci27 I know the Old Testament IS the Torah which is only part of the Tanakh. And other beliefs DO claim that their gods are living just like you do.
