What else does one need besides Jesus's promise?

Proof.

Proof? Proof was given and it was not enough for you to believe. Why would more proof suddenly make you believe? If you do not believe what has been given through the Bible, through Christ's life and death, through the biblical teachings all over the world - one more incident is not going to convince you.

Keep on waiting for God to appear magically at your bedside and explain all to you and convince you that He created the world, sent His Son to die for your sins so that you could be perfect enough to dwell in God's presence for eternity and that all you have to do is confess that Jesus is the Son of God, be baptised for the remission of those past sins and follow Jesus through life.

But, woe, that is just too hard. Need something else, like maybe a space ship to appear. Maybe a vision that appears only to me (not a result of my brain, or a drug). Yeah, then I will believe. Waiting........waiting......waiting......

Sure hope I don't have an accident and die before I receive my proof. Yet, all is not lost. I did not believe before, so therefore, I was not getting eternal life, I do not believe now because I have not recieved my personal visitation, so no loss.

I will just get this that I do believe........., yeah, that's it. As if you or any man has the ability to create the afterlife as you think it should be.

Proof.

Think about this for a moment: If there was proof, how could there be faith? If you could not make the choice to believe or disbelieve than what credit would there be to those who believe?

Some will say God has already provided proof through our complex physical beings and our intricate ecosystem. Could that really come forth out of random soup? I would not touch that whole topic with you, just something to think about.

All that God asks of us is to believe. If He had to prove Himself to do that, then there would be no credit to the believer for his faith. You would be compelled to accept, as if a slave.

So, personally, I'm happy that rock-solid scientific can't-get-around-it proof of God does not exist. If it did, the Leftists and the god-haters would become more unhinged now than they already are.

I can't even produce proof that I actually exist.

The Bible is proof. Try to disprove it. You will only end up frustrated and a good possibility a believer.
