"Am I a man dreaming I am a butterfly, or a butterfly dreaming that I am a man?"
Can We Not Be Any More Clear Than This Chinese Philosopher?
Did God Present His Truths As A Kind Of Puzzle Or Is He Just Playing With Us?
Could This All Be A Silly Dream?
I Can Say An Emphatic No!!
Why?, Because I Know
Because It Has Been Made Plain To Me.
I Have The Objective And Subjective Knowledge Of God And His Word.
I Have The Witness Of The Father, The Son, And The Holy Spirit, In My Spirit, Soul And Body.
We are saved from the Fathers perspective from all eternity, (Romans 8:29,30), when Christ died for our sins (1 Corinthians 15:1-5), when the Holy spirit draws (drags us), in our spirits when we believe (Salvation-John 3:16), in our souls when we obey (James 1:21...Sanctification), and in our bodies at the future rapture/resurrection. (1 Thess. 4:16,17; 1 Cor. 15:51,52)
Even Unregenerate Men Can
Clearly See Certain Things, If It Is In Their Own Self Interest To See Them.
"The wrath of God is being revealed from heaven against all the godlessness and wickedness of men who suppress the truth by their wickedness,
19 since what may be known about God is plain to them, because God has made it plain to them. 20 For since the creation of the world God's invisible qualities--his eternal power and divine nature--have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that men are without
excuse." (Romans 1)
So No One Can Rightly Claim That They Or Someone Else Cannot Be Certain Of God's 'Eternal Power And Divine Nature' Because It Has Been 'Clearly Seen...From What Has Been Made.'
This Is Evidence Clearly Seen.

Point To The Creation.
Belief In Evolution Requires More Faith Than Believing In A God Who Creates In Six Days.
Biblical Faith Is Concrete And Being Sure:
"Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see....17 By faith Abraham, when God tested him, offered Isaac as a sacrifice. He who had received the promises was about to sacrifice his one and only son, 18 even though God had said to him, "It is through Isaac that your offspring will be reckoned." 19 Abraham reasoned that God could raise the dead, and figuratively speaking, he did receive Isaac back from death." (Hebrews 11)
When We Look At God's Creation We Can See The Triple Manifestations Of H2O/Water Which Are, Liquid, Ice, Vapor We See That It Is Possible For A Substance To Be In Three Forms, Though Always The Same Substance.
We Can Touch, Breathe And Drink This Reality.
This Multi Dimensional Reality Only Reinforces The Experience.
If This Is Present In Water Then It Is Possible In The God Of All Creation.
He Communicates With Us In 3P And 3D
"That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked at and our hands have touched--this we proclaim concerning the Word of life. 2 The life appeared; we have seen it and testify to it, and we proclaim to you the eternal life, which was with the Father and has appeared to us. 3 We proclaim to you what we have seen and heard, so that you also may have fellowship with us. And our fellowship is with the Father and with his Son, Jesus Christ. 4 We write this to make our joy complete." (1 John 1)
When We Look At man, Gods Creation We See That Man (Body, Soul And Spirit-1 Thess. 5:23) Is A Trichotomous Vague Reflection Of A Tri-Personal Creator.
Even Love, Beginning With God Who Is Love Requires At Least A Multi Personal Preexistence.
"The quality of love and the capacities for fellowship and communion, by their very nature, require another personal being with which to share them. And God could not fully share Himself except with another Being equal to Him. Yet the bible says that "God is love" in Himself alone. This could only be true if within the Godhead itself there is a plurality of Personages, or or divine Persons, who could express and experience
love in relation to one another. Although the actual word "trinity" does not occur in the Bible, the concept is clearly expressed there, providing the unity and diversity that makes possible the love, fellowship, and communion within the Godhead. ...The inconceivably complete identity of God is the paradigm of all personhood, at its very plurality is the foundation of all relatedness. Such is the 'image of God' in which we are made. In that light, the doctrine of the Trinity is not some facile mystification, but a straightforward statement of the multiple personhood of God ..." (Dave Hunt, The Mysterious Trinity)
We See God's Truth In His General Revelation (Creation) And In His Special Revelation (His Words).
"1 A Psalm of David.
{N}
The LORD saith unto my lord: 'Sit thou at My right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool.' (Psalm 110)
The LORD saith unto my lord: 'Sit thou at My right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool.' (Psalm 110)
Two Lords, One Sitting At The Right Hand Of The Other?
If You Don't Get This Then You Need To Repent.
Many Of The Ones That Cannot See Plainly Are:
Those 'who suppress the truth by their wickedness'
And
"25 They exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served created things rather than the Creator--who is forever praised. Amen." (Romans 1)
Do We Look At God In Mans Image (Creation) Or Man In God's (Creators)Image?
Many Suppress And Exchange The Truth By Their Wickedness And For A Lie.
Often When Someone Says, 'That's Your Interpretation Of That Scripture' It Really Means, I Don't Believe That God Means What He Says And The Plain Sense Isn't Clear To Me Because I
Have Exchanged It For Something Else.
Have you ever heard someone say after being asked about something say, 'Well, I'm pretty sure'?
Well you are either sure or you're not.
There is no such thing as being pretty sure. This is like saying that you are kind of convinced.
Do You Know You Have Eternal Life?
| When You Know God Who Knows All Things You Will Know You Have Eternal Life. (John 17:3;1 John 5:1,11-13) If You Know God, You Will Know God The Son Who Was Sent. (John 14:1; Isaiah 48:16: 1 John 5:1) One That Knows God Also Knows About God. (John 14:26; 1 Corinthians 2:15) Knowing God is Knowing He Will Ultimately perfect His Work in Us. (Philippians 1:6; 2 Timothy 1:12:Hebrews 6:9: Romans 4:21; 8:38: Hebrews 6:9 ) Those That Don't Know God Who Knows All Things Don't Know They Have Eternal Life, Because They Don't Know God Who is Eternal, Neither Can They Know Whether Those That Do Know The Eternal God Know They Have Eternal Life, And If They Don't Know They Cannot Know The Other Spiritual Things There Is To
Know (1 Corinthians 2:10ff) Because Spiritual Knowledge Comes From the One Who Knows All Things And Imparts Knowledge To The Ones That Know And Are Known By Him.(Galatians 4:9) Those Don't Know They Have Eternal Life Either: 1) Are Presently Acting Like Ones That Don't Know 2) Don't Know What Knowing Means. 3) Don't Know That Knowing The Eternal Is Knowing That One Has Eternal Life 4) Are Listening To Those That Don't Know (Psalm 1:1) 5) Do Not Know God. They Also Cannot Counsel Them That Know and Know That They Know Eternal Things. (1 Corinthians 2:15) Those That Know God Or Are Known By God Can Never Be Unknown To God Or Have
Him Say, 'I Never Knew You.' (Matthew 7:23; 1 John 2:19) Those that don't know cannot question whether those that truly know, know until they know themselves because they don't know how certain knowing is. 3 And THIS IS LIFE ETERNAL, that they might KNOW THEE the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent. (John 17:3) 1 WHOSOEVER BELIEVETH that Jesus is the Christ is born of God: and every one that loveth him that begat LOVETH HIM ALSO that is begotten of him...11 And this is the record, that God hath given to us ETERNAL LIFE, and this life is in his Son. 12 He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life. 13 These things have I written unto you THAT BELIEVE ON THE NAME of the Son of God; that ye may KNOW THAT YE HAVE ETERNAL LIFE, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God. (1 John 5:1,11-13) 1 Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, BELIEVE ALSO IN ME. (John 14) 16 Come ye near unto me, hear ye this; I have not spoken in secret from the beginning; from the time that it was, THERE AM I: and now the Lord GOD, and his Spirit, HATH SENT ME. (Isaiah 48) 26 But the Comforter, which is THE HOLY GHOST, whom the Father will send in my name, HE shall TEACH YOU ALL THINGS, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you. (John 14:26) 6 Being CONFIDENT OF THIS VERY THING, that he which hath begun a good work in you WILL PERFORM IT UNTIL the day of Jesus Christ: (Philippians 1) 12 For the which cause I also suffer these things: nevertheless I am not ashamed: for I know whom I have believed, and AM PERSUADED that HE IS ABLE to keep that which I have committed unto him against that day. (2 Timothy 1) 21 And being FULLY PERSUADED that, what he had promised, HE WAS ABLE also to perform. 22 And therefore it was IMPUTED TO HIM FOR RIGHTEOUSNESS. (Romans 4:21) 38 For I AM PERSUADED, that NEITHER DEATH, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, 39 Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, SHALL BE ABLE TO SEPARATE US FROM THE LOVE OF GOD, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord. (Romans 8) 9 But, beloved, we are PERSUADED BETTER THINGS OF YOU, and THINGS THAT ACCOMPANY SALVATION, though we thus speak. 10 For God is not unrighteous to forget your work and labour of love, which ye have shewed toward his name, in that ye have ministered to the saints, and do minister. (Hebrews 6:9,10) 15 But he that is spiritual judgeth all things, YET HE HIMSELF IS JUDGED OF NO MAN. 16 For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ. (1 Corinthians 2:15) 9 But now, after that ye have known God, or rather are KNOWN OF GOD, how turn ye again to the weak and beggarly elements, whereunto ye desire again to be in bondage? 10 Ye observe days, and months, and times, and years. 11 I am
afraid of you, lest I have bestowed upon you labour in vain. (Galatians 4) 1 Blessed is the man that WALKETH NOT IN THE COUNSEL OF THE UNGODLY, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful. (Psalm 1:1) 22 Many will SAY TO ME IN THAT DAY, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? 23 And then will I profess unto them, I NEVER KNEW YOU: depart from me, ye that work iniquity. (Matthew 7) 18 Little children, it is the last time: and as ye have heard that antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last time. 19 They
went out from us, but they were not of us; for IF THEY HAD BEEN OF US, THEY WOULD NO DOUBT HAVE CONTINUED WITH US; BUT THEY WENT OUT, THAT THEY MIGHT BE MADE MANIFEST THAT THEY WERE NOT ALL OF US. (1 John 2) 7 But we speak the wisdom of God in A MYSTERY, even the hidden wisdom, which God ordained before the world unto our glory: 8 Which none of the princes of this world knew: for had they known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory. 9 But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him. 10 But GOD HATH REVEALED THEM UNTO US BY HIS SPIRIT: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God. 11 For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? even so THE THINGS OF GOD KNOWETH NO
MAN, BUT THE SPIRIT OF GOD. 12 Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might KNOW THE THINGS that are freely given to us of God. 13 Which things also we speak, not in the words which man's wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual. 14 But THE NATURAL MAN RECEIVETH NOT THE THINGS OF THE SPIRIT OF GOD: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.
