Already posted plenty of essays to write a small book on the subject but thanks for your unobservant spam it bumps the topic. Also where is your proof bud or are you just going to copy paste endless bible quotes at me untill it goes away?
You copied and pasted essays without properly citing them. At University they call that plagiarism. At least when I did the 10 prophecies fulfilled in 1948, I gave the references at the end of the post.
https://forums.d2jsp.org/topic.php?t=73889562&f=119&p=525625079#p525625079I already showed you the proof:
Romans 1:22-23
22 Although they claimed to be wise, they became fools 23 and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images made to look like a mortal human being and birds and animals and reptiles.
Psalm 14:1-3
1 The fool says in his heart,
“There is no God.”
They are corrupt, their deeds are vile;
there is no one who does good.
2 The Lord looks down from heaven
on all mankind
to see if there are any who understand,
any who seek God.
3 All have turned away, all have become corrupt;
there is no one who does good,
not even one.
You

Here is yet another original thought.
I do read what I post and actually understand them unlike you have long ago figured out it was all garbage. Here is an original thought from me if you have blind faith you are no longer thinking you just accepting something with 0 proof. When something doesn't reveal itself for example if the prayer doesn't get answered Christians like play mental gymnastics and give hundreds of reasons why it didn't work.
Where I like to apply proven concepts that work all the time anywhere without fail. For example if I want to be rich I begin investing, improving my skill set, educating myself in the subject and applying those principles. Where as you play prayer lottery and hope that god drops a bag of money from the sky. Pathetic really.
What good is it, my brothers and sisters, if someone claims to have faith but has no deeds? Can such faith save them? Suppose a brother or a sister is without clothes and daily food. If one of you says to them, “Go in peace; keep warm and well fed,” but does nothing about their physical needs, what good is it? In the same way, faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead.
But someone will say, “You have faith; I have deeds.”
Show me your faith without deeds, and I will show you my faith by my deeds. You believe that there is one God. Good! Even the demons believe that—and shudder.
You foolish person, do you want evidence that faith without deeds is useless? Was not our father Abraham considered righteous for what he did when he offered his son Isaac on the altar? You see that his faith and his actions were working together, and his faith was made complete by what he did. And the scripture was fulfilled that says, “Abraham believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness,” and he was called God’s friend. You see that a person is considered righteous by what they do and not by faith alone.
In the same way, was not even Rahab the prostitute considered righteous for what she did when she gave lodging to the spies and sent them off in a different direction? As the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without deeds is dead.
You have just read James 2:14-26
You want to talk about faith? If someone has faith but doesn't show it by their deeds can such faith save them? Show me your faith without deeds, and I will show you my faith by my deeds. Not only have I been in this forum keeping up the debate for over a DECADE:
https://forums.d2jsp.org/topic.php?t=67022928&f=125&o=0#p449254948 I also recently invited you to join in on the 40 days of lent. Such faith keeps me going, I do not stop telling people about the Good News.
What of Romans 8:22-25
We know that the whole creation has been groaning as in the pains of childbirth right up to the present time. Not only so, but we ourselves, who have the firstfruits of the Spirit, groan inwardly as we wait eagerly for our adoption to sonship, the redemption of our bodies. For in this hope we were saved. But hope that is seen is no hope at all. Who hopes for what they already have? But if we hope for what we do not yet have, we wait for it patiently.
We will wait for it patiently.
Oh, if ten thousand years go by we will wait
Let us tell of his great love, he will come
For his patience means salvation!
So tell me again how faith is blind?
