@Epheshians6.10-19
This is a good example of your confidence in this belief being higher than evidence warrants.
If you don’t mind, let me explain. You’re convinced I wouldn’t believe even if the scenario played out.
You’re wrong. You’re just accusing me of being dishonest, when you can’t actually demonstrate your beliefs in Jesus are true.
My preference is to hold as many true beliefs as possible, while holding as few false beliefs as possible.
To the end, I must employ reliable methods to differentiate false beliefs from true ones.
So, ask your God what would convince me. If your god exists, it should know what would convince me. Right?
Of course, it may not want me to know. If it doesn’t want me to know, I couldn’t. Right?
But please. I ask of you….will you ask your god what would convince me it exists. Then, let me know.
If an all powerful, all loving, all knowing god exists…
Then your suggestion that the only way to know is through Biblical references,
I have good reason to reject your claims.

I appreciate honest discourse. If this is a truth claim, either one should be able to demonstrate the claim comports with reality. That’s all truth really means.
You say “if Jesus Christ is the truth” I must come to him on his terms. Sure. If he is the magic all powerful, all knowing god,….of course things must go his way.
The question is whether or not the claims made about Christ are true.
But that is the question. Does such a god really exist? You mention the universe coming from nothing. Which means you don’t have the first clue what my position is, or what science says on the subject. I never claimed thinks the universe came from nothing. But, if a god doesn’t exist…are you saying the universe came from nothing? What is the explanation for the universe if no gods exist? Have you ever considered?
Sure,Miami’s reasonable to investigate claims. I have, with an open mind investigated.
I have read the Bible multiple times. But I have also investigated beyond the Bible, like it’s history, and it’s origins.
You might be surprised to discover the authors of the gospels are anonymous. You might be surprised to discover not a single one makes a first hand assertion thst they witnessed a resurrected Jesus. Only Paul, and he wasn’t even there at the time. Paul had only a vision.
So magic and miracle claims can’t be validated by historical accounts.
And many different religions make miracle claims. The problem is nobody can ever demonstrate or offer evidence for a god or a miracle or magic.
Otherwise sensible and honest people believe a lot of things. And a lot,of honest people make honest mistakes, or believe things without warrant.
So why would it be possible for Jesus to be who YOU claim him to be?
What evidence do you offer? Wait…before you answer this…
Is evidence even what convinced you to begin with?
Most people,aren’t convinced of religious claims through evidence, but through indoctrination.
95% of believers follow the same religion as their parents.
One’s beliefs can offer be predicted simply by knowing where they were born. Why is that?
But also…you might want to defend worshipping the god of slavery.
