>EVERYTHING has origins and nothing is outside the

>developed the concept were pre-influenced, that is,
>they did not exist in a vacuum!!i want to tell you first of all as a christain god is not dead .god is no fairy tale and if you believe that then you have been fooled by satan.the reason you dont believe in god is because you are afraid to believe in something you cant see.god would reveal himself to you,but lets face it if he did would you still believe?thats why god wants you to have faith ,he wants you to trust him even though you cant see him.anything could be considered a god ,which are anything you worship.however god is differnt than those gods because they are false gods,i mean why would you worship the moon god or the sun god when you can worship the god that created it and you?god is a supernatural being and hes full of love and always making miracles happen.do you know god loves you even though you dont know him?well he does.my life was in such a mess until i got saved i wanted to just die.i found no hope or peace until one night i got down on my knees and asked god to come in to my heart.the i felt such peace and i was happy i loved everyone.i went to the store and it was like i hadnt seen people before i wanted to hug everyone that i saw.i lived also in a house that was rundown and i begin to pray everynight god would just give me and my family a new home.god doesnt answer your prayers in an instant but he does answer them after you have had a little patience.finally we got that new home and we have plenty food to eat.no one can never tell me there is no god because i know there is.i believe teaching about the big bang theory and other things in schools have gotten a lot of people confused.but it didnt confuse me because god was there with me revealing himself to me,by the scriptures from the bible.if you seek after god and his ways you will find him .i pray you find him because once you do then you will begin to know that its true.you must believe that there is a god and jesus is his son born of the virgin mary ,that jesus died upon the cross and arose the thrid day.if you ever come to believe that and you ask god to come in to your heart thenyou will find the god that you have been denying for so long.go and get a bible and start reading in genesis it tells of god creating everything .i will pray for you
