argument about god existence
If God is real, why is there suffering?
If God loves us so much, why isn’t life just sunshine and lollipops? Why must we suffer? Answer: Our suffering is the consequence of our own evil.
Has anyone ever met God and returned to tell about it?
In thousands of near-death experience (NDE) testimonies, individuals report having “come face-to-face with a personal God with whom they continue to maintain a loving relationship,” as the International Association for Near-Death Studies (IANDS) puts it.
