A few weeks back I explained very clearly why I can’t prove that God exists, and even if I were able to, an atheist would still die in his sins because his belief would not come by faith. (Please read the article “Damning Proof” here).
Well, now there’s a man who says he can actually prove God’s existence. His name is Sye Ten Bruggencate, and he heads Sinner Ministries, which features a great website called ProofThatGodExists.org (but you probably already guessed that). Here’s his claim:
A friend of mine recently watched the video of my interview with an atheist Joker on YouTube. He was amazed that I didn’t get upset and angry at the things he was spouting. “If it was me,” he confessed, “I’m not so sure I would have remained so calm.” I explained to him that after dealing with these types of unbelievers for many years, there isn’t much they can say that will rattle my cage.
