In the court of men there is something called a witness and his testimony is taken into account as a legitimate proof.
I wasn't trying to prove God's existence I was merely testifying what I have witnessed and what I have experienced. And I claim no special holiness or ability than any normal person. I'm just a man.
One doesn't even need to see God to be a witness of God but seeing the miracles that He performed can also be considered witnessing God or God's work.
i noe tat...but i dun tink we can submit our personal experiences wif God in court n hence prove tat He exists...if tat can be done, ppl would be convince God exists long ago...i juz dun understand y humans who onli can use 15% of our brain at most bother to qn on things tat r beyond tat 15%...worse, they ask fellow human beings who themselves onli have 15% usage of their brains at the most...

Unfortunately I saw God when I was little, 7th grade to be exact.
I saw a man that lived 2,000 years ago and walked with Jesus and now is alive and possessing power like no other. He was wearing a brown tunic one which is very similar to what the franciscan order monk would wear only that he was very well built
I had been given a very detailed prophecy of myself by priest in a highschool retreat. It happened 5 years later in your country. The prophecy made the oracle in the movie matrix a lame person
I rebuked an evil spirit sent my way by crying out to the Lord. It fled so fast I figured it tucked its tail between its legs lol
I once(and only that once)asked for an earthquake and was given...right there right then
God gave me knowledge of the true meaning of death
God allows me sometimes to feel what other people or a nation are feeling and to know things that are going to happen though not often or with a hiatus period.
My own mother had several Marian apparitions. They are of course genuine. I too had been saved by St Mary, my mind that is. She was the most charismatic person I've ever felt.
I really do have a story to tell but not just yet. Yes I'm bragging but not about me. Even everything supernatural at the disposal of your corrupt leaders were never ever on par with what I've seen.
Who is like God? You are the living God! My own eyes have behold you in glory and have witnesed the greatness of your wonder and your compassion and though I'm a sinner you took pity on me and didn't allow me to be destroyed by wicked men. I know that Istand forever in your sight just like every other person. I know that you know because you let me know that you know. You answered me: you are my chosen elect.
And even if I have to die in the future because what I stand for I will die SMILING.
Any body read my post on implanted memories in Buddhism Wisdom bliss forum?

I didn't mean that testament about God be accepted as proof in the court of men but I was saying that when men testify about other man in the capacity of witness, their testament is accepted as a legitimate proof in the court of men.
Testifying about God however requires on the part of the recipient to welcome it in faith until they themselves are the witness of God or God's awesome work. God has set it so that any relatonship with Him must be based first and foremost on faith. Of course when a Christian is true to themselves they will see a confirmation of their faith simply because God is the living God.
God has hidden Himself from men and only with and in faith He would reveal anything to any given person. I've come to the conclusion that being a Christian is not an option and that rather being a Christian is a matter of being called and chosen. Many are called but few are chosen so it is said in the bible. Few are chosen because they do not heed their calling. A cosmetic Christian. So are you Christian in heart?
Many things can go wrong in this world and they will at some time in time. Without God's confirming our faith most Christian will grow weak and die such that their faith become their mere physical obligations and mere rituals. How can you keep believing in God when things around you going upside down? You can't but God can keep your faith by confirming it so that despite everything bad you can say I know God. He keep me intact. God is my shield against the arrow of the devil. That we smile when we think back what God has done to us.
Don't emphasize that we do not need to see what we believe.
We started by believing so that we might see.
We end up by seeing what we believe.
Because we believe not in myth or lies but in the living mighty God.

Another Total War fan. But I like Soulstorm for DOW 1, as I can play with ladies who have tremedous attitudes and a love for fire.

The three men may not have died for their faiths. But the fact remains that they are WILLING to die for their faith rather than compromise their beliefs in God.
Out of the 12 disciples of Jesus, 10 of them died for their faiths, eventually.
Many early christians died for their faiths rather than denied Christ.
The fact remains that Christianity is a religion that requires a believer to value God over his or her own life, or even his or her own country's laws. That devotion to God above one's own life or one's country laws is what I find troubling about Christianity. I think that no matter what, an individual ought to value his or her own life and even his or her country's laws over his or her religion.
Hi S.gal83, i am not a christian, so i would not be able to give u a christian explaination of scriptures. i can only offer u a non-christian understanding of scriptures. The book of Daniel consisted of many stories. One of the story/incident is about Daniel's 3 friends and King Nebuchadnezzar. Why did Hashem allows the 3 men be thrown into the furnace is explained at the end of the story about King Nebuchadnezzar. These verses can clearly explain the reasons for the incident.
Nebuchadnezzar the king to all the peoples, nations, and men of every language that live in all the earth: "May your peace abound!
"It has seemed good to me to declare the signs and wonders which the Most High God has done for me.
"How great are His signs
And how mighty are His wonders!
His kingdom is an everlasting kingdom
And His dominion is from generation to generation. Daniel 4:1-3 NASB
"Now I, Nebuchadnezzar, praise, exalt and honor the King of heaven, for all His works are true and His ways just, and He is able to humble those who walk in pride." Daniel 4:37 NASB.
The signs and wonders which Hashem uses the 3 men to perform is for the benefits of King Nebuchanezzar, that he acknowledge Hashem as G-d most high. It is not about the 3 men which Hashem uses to perform his signs and wonders. Consider this verse:
"All the inhabitants of the earth are accounted as nothing,
But He does according to His will in the host of heaven
And among the inhabitants of earth;
And no one can ward off His hand
Or say to Him, 'What have You done?' Danie 4:35 NASB.
God is great and if God were to put a challenge by calling out in the kingdom of death to those who lived a life of insult to Him, His call to those who offended Him always goes unanswered. RISE YOURSELF UP!
All remain in their slumber. Unable to do anyhting not knowing anything. They will not rise again. They have become nothing.
And they thought they were going to live forever, they thought they were above all things. . .yet now they lie helpless unable to even lift a finger. Not knowing what has befallen them. Unable to overpower death that came to grip them for eternity. Until the end of time.
They have forgotten their life and life has forgotten them. Even if the whole world worship them for eternity what good would that do to them now? Their proud accomplishment now is but a dust, useless and was all over too soon. Their life had been short and foolish they didn't realize that they were merely passing by in life. Merely passing by. They were only given one thing and that was time. Only a short amount of time.
i was juz tinking...the thread says will u die for ur God? actually i tink all of us including the TS wil die for our Gods...cos God is defined as the ruler of ur life...so if u r ur own ruler, u r hence ur own God...u will die for urself? if money is ruler of ur life, u will die for money?
for those going to die for GOD think money will be useless to you all..please give it me.
GOD bless you.
