>Other people's experiences with God
>Miracles
>Things that would be too impossible to actually be coincidences, like when God tells a christian what number he was thinking of, then suddenly it appears somewhere a few seconds later.
>The fact that Jesus was in fact a real person and was crucified
>The fact that this world needs a creator and if you look around it is obvious it is the one from the bible.
>Watch hell testimonies to instill back the fear, trust me you will need it, also, why are 99% of them describing the same exact place with the same details, also how come there are so many reports of people of other religions and atheists turning christian but you can barely find reports of people turning buddhist, or musilim

plenty of people are buddhist and muslim, you're just a westerner so hearing stories about others converting to your religion matters to you.

You need a book to convince you of a spiritual experience? What sort of idiot are you?

Just say: "I want to be fooled by any well written rhetoric." Then you will be fooled by the next well written anti-Christian book, and then by any political movement rhetoric that is also very well written on paper -- because they all are. When does it end?

First you stop being a fool, then you read something.

It was just one of the many examples of unusual synchronicity many people call "experiencing an interaction with the living God". Some people claim to have thoughts that showed them the future a few minutes later, and a few minutes later those exact things they thought of happen. Like if someone would say, God, if you're real, then let what number I'm thinking of appear on the tv screen right now! and then you switch the channel and see that exact number.

I found Spinoza’s Treastise on the Emendation of Intelect to be quite convincing.

He does away with the semantic overload behind “God” and replaces it with “universe” and “nature.” He comes to reasonable conclusions that won’t make you believe in God outright, but will soften your stance on refuting evidence of a creator.

A good read—-might not be what you’re looking for though.

>What books will convince me to become a Christian again?
The one that addresses whatever underlying hang-up you have regarding why you left in the first place.

Also,
>convince
The book won't "convince" you - assuming you're being "honest", you'll not need "convincing". You'll either remember/understand why you trusted GOD in the first place, or you'll decide to not return. What is the book going to do, hold you down and tie you up?

A note: don't forget to compare apples-to-apples. Make sure what is being considered/criticized/critiqued/etc. is actually in the Bible.

What do you mean by "becoming a Christian again"?

This is very important, because it implies that the reason you're asking this is because you reject some parts of the Holy Bible.

There is no middle ground here.

[Anonymous No.16107054]

>>16105057
You might have thought you were Christian before, but clearly you weren’t because the Bible states in several verses that he keeps the faithful in the faith once they are saved. In other words, you only get saved once, and you don’t lose it after you get saved. If you thought you were saved before and then left the faith, you were never saved to begin with.

But first you have to ask why you left the faith. Once you have those questions, try to find Christian books that answer them. You should also try looking at Christian apologetics to better explain any questions you have about God and the Bible.

"Reason To Believe" and "Unseen" by Ron Tesoriero. Probably the best documented books about Eucharistic Miracles I've ever read
https://reasontobelieve.com.au/shop/
There's a few documentaries he made. The first one is on Youtube.
https://youtube.com/watch?v=bd16tBRbLXw
"Test the Shroud" by Mark Antinacci is a similar treatment for the Shroud of Turin, and shows why the 1988 csrbon dating was faulty.
https://www.testtheshroud.org/
"What is Man?" and "Who Made God" by Edgar Andrews are a defense of Christianity written by a PhD Chemist.
"God And Cosmos" and "The Divine Challenge" by John Byl are the same from the perspective of a mathematician.

wtf, is there an argument against the Eucharist miracles? Because either this is a huge Catholic forgery job or else this would have gigantic implications (living white blood cells, heart muscle from the same part of the heart and negative DNA tests etc. and that in multiple cases)
