You’re not seriously searching for logical, plausible, and rational reasons to believe in the Triune God

Hey PS, hope all is well. Your statement is correct - I am not looking for plausible reasons to believe something that is evidently not true. Rather, I look for evenly true facts to further my understanding of history and nature. I don’t have an agenda on “what to believe”, but only to believe what is falsifiable, testable, and scientifically evidently shown to be factual. Whatever that turns out to be, I would have no choice but to accept the truth, even if I didn’t like it, else I would be in denial and suffering from delusions.

override your free will decision to reject Him with incontrovertible evidence of His existence

God overrides free will all the time in the Bible. There’s no reason he couldn’t do it now, other than that he doesn’t exist or doesn’t have the power or desire. The first part of establishing a relationship with a person is establishing existence to the person. Not only do we have no evidence of God’s existence, but we have an overwhelming mountain of evidence that the gods described in the Bible do not exist.

Your parroting of internet atheist talking points

---

Parroting implies I am repeating random points of unqualified people posting on Facebook or Reddit. I think you know how I operate. I don’t say much of anything until someone posts something totally wrong, then I step in to correct them or at least give them something to ponder. I’m not searching for lists of contradictions to post on here. Most of my “material” is through my own study over the years.

Let me reassure you of my truthfulness in the same way the apostle Paul would: In what I am writing to you, before Darwin, I do not lie!
