Christians, why hasn't God given us any evidence that he exists?

If God is loving and wants us all to be saved, wouldn't he want us to know he even exists?

Before you answer, don't attempt the "free will" argument. This is debunked by the fact that according to your Bible, Satan knew God exists and still chose to rebel against him. Knowledge that he exists would not breach our free will into automatically believing in him.

Also, if you use the "look all around you, there's evidence everywhere" argument, be aware that there are proven, scientific, completely secular explanations for all of this natural beauty,

    He appeared in human form in the person of Jesus Christ; performed works no man ever did, proclaimed hidden mysteries unknown since the foundation of the world. was crucified for sinners and raised from the dead. What more proof do you need?

    rebellion does not disprove free will - it affirms it - you cannot rebel against what is not there nor can you rebel if you have no will to do so .

    the bible states that all of creation is his evidence to you .but you choose to disbelieve. no one is forcing that choice on you .you can change your mind if you want to - but then you would have to admit your wrong ..hmm humility - can the arrogance of the atheist lay down its intolerant pride.

    re -be aware that there are proven, scientific, completely secular explanations for all of this natural beauty,..

    ahh liar liar pants on fire - science states in ALL its writings which are ALL conjecture - that such and such -

    MAY have been

    COULD have

    MIGHT of

    was POSSIBLY ...

    none of it is proven and it is most unscientific to say other wise - not to mention dishonest.

    What's the proven scientific secular explanation for the air we breathe. It is mixed just right every second of every regardless of the amount of pollution, who provides that for you.

    Everything we know of has a designer. God is the designer of the universe! It didn't just pop into existence. Place a pan of elements that make up any structure and leave it there. It will never form into anything unless someone connects the pieces together.

    Acknowledging that Satan exists to prove your point proves that "God" exists as "God" created Satan. Not that I'm saying Christians are correct, but I love playing the "Devil's" advocate to debunk anyone thinking that they're "all high" and "mighty."

    When you sit in a test or exam,do the teacher in charge"the observer" help you to answer the test so you can pass easily? never,that is plagiarism and if you get caught,you will fail and the teacher will be untrustworthy.

    God is the one who prepared your test and you must answer them without cheating. To pass the test you must study hard and make an effort.

    Satan is the teacher that helped you cheating,by completing the test for you and then point at you and call you a cheater.

    What I don't get is why free will was given in the first place if god just wanted everyone to worship him.

    It's like an excuse to send people to hell.

    As for your question, I don't think there is any.

    Because even if 1 non-believer started to believe in Him, that would not be fair to those who have believed in Him without any magic tricks. If you do some research, you will see that science has not proven anything, especially the big bang theory.

    What secular or scientific explanation is there for the origin of matter? How about the origin of energy, of information, and life?

    Nothing? Aww too bad. I guess there is no reason to leave God out of the picture...

    What makes you think He hasn't. All you need to do is a little unbiased research. We know God is who He claims to be because He’s done what He said He would do. That’s the whole point of prophecy and why studying it is so important to us. It’s God authenticating Himself.

    For 6000 years He’s been describing things before they happened, so when they did His people would know that He was telling us the truth. Everything He said would happen in the past has happened, so it makes sense to believe that everything He said would happen in the future will happen.

    There are over 135 historically verified, fulfilled prophecies in the first 35 verses of Daniel chapter 11. God called King Cyrus of Persia by name in Isaiah 44:24-45:6 as His agent for freeing the Israelites from Babylon 150 years before the event. Daniel 9:25 prophesied Jesus' entry into Jerusalem on what would be the first Palm Sunday, 483 years to the day after the decree to rebuild Jerusalem was given by King Artaxerxes Longimanus of Persia.

    There are over 300 Old Testament prophecies, all of them a matter of public record hundreds of years before the fact, predicting the birth, life, death, and resurrection of Jesus the Christ. The abundance and specificity of these prophecies demolish any notion of chance, exceed the requirements of statistical analysis, and prove more conclusively than any other fact of history that Jesus is the Son of God. In fact there is more hard evidence to prove that He is Who He claims to be, than there is that you are who you claim to be.

    This is the unique and truly beautiful thing about the Bible. It stands alone among the so-called Holy Writings of the world, in its self-validating ability. Only the Bible tells the future with 100% accuracy. God knew we would be skeptical, unbelieving children. So early on, He began telling us things in advance of their occurrence so when what He said came true, we would be willing to believe Him. In this way we can be assured that our faith is justified.

    In fact in Isaiah 44:6-8 God challenged anyone who claimed to be like Him to a two part test.  Part 1 is to accurately recount the past and part two is to accurately proclaim the future. Only God, who knows the end from the beginning  can do this.

    Anyone who will put aside their pre-conceived notions and undertake an unbiased study of Old Testament prophecy can prove God’s existence beyond a shadow of doubt within a few hours. As God had Isaiah write, “I am God, and there is no other; I am God, and there is none like me.   I make known the end from the beginning, from ancient times, what is still to come.” (Isaiah 46:9-10)  No other so-called deity can make that claim.

    When you study Bible Prophecy and World History side by side it doesn’t require much faith at all to believe the Bible. The evidence in fulfilled prophecy is just too overwhelming. But don’t take my word for this, try it for yourself. The truth converts emotion to logic, adds knowledge to zeal, and makes your faith unshakable. Someday soon that kind of faith might well come in handy.

    Romans 1:18-20 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who by their unrighteousness suppress the truth. (19) For what can be known about God is plain to them, because God has shown it to them. (20) For his invisible attributes, namely, his eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly perceived, ever since the creation of the world, in the things that have been made. So they are without excuse.
