In reference to the above comment…

All past tense words should be present when refering to the existance of God.

Example: the corrections will be in bold and itallics:
“…rather when you knew for sure that He really does exist.”
“In other words, when you had the assurance that God is real…”
***End Note***

Although, I never fret when someone want's to search for the evidence of a creator, because I'm confident that it will lead them (if they are intellectually honest) to conclude that it is more reasonable to believe in God than to not.<br/><br/>Correct me if I'm wrong, but i just want to clear something up. You said, "I don't know the exact moment that i know God existed." I'm sure you don't mean here the point when God began to exist, rather when you knew for sure that He really did exist. In other words, when you had the <i>assurance</i> that God was real, apart from what your mother told you; this was an understanding that you arrived at by yourself (enable by the Holy Spirit, of course).<br/><br/>God bless. Glad to hear that “proof” was never needed for you Robin.

Correct me if I’m wrong, but i just want to clear something up. You said, “I don’t know the exact moment that i know God existed.” I’m sure you don’t mean here the point when God began to exist, rather when you knew for sure that He really did exist. In other words, when you had the assurance that God was real, apart from what your mother told you; this was an understanding that you arrived at by yourself (enable by the Holy Spirit, of course).

God bless.

As you know, because we have discussed it on many occasion, I don't know the exact moment that I knew God existed. This is because I don't remember not knowing that God existed because I was raised by a wonderful Christian mother and father. My mom taught me well, I never doubted simply because Mom said so which meant it was true. She never hesitated to reach for her Bible and answer any questions I ever had. I could list, of course, many occasions that he "proved" his existence to me but I have seen more proof than I'll ever need. To all the parents out there who may be struggling, as I recently was, teach your children well and they will always come back to it, my daughter did at 15. I'm not saying I never strayed but I always felt that tug in my heart when I did. May God Bless you all! Jason (Jon), This may be off topic but it is what went through my mind as I read this post.
