Okay, I'll just make a confirmation post when it's working for me here again.

Abandoned, Pleased, Brainwashed, Exploited by Sonata Arctica. Power metal, love it!

Well, I was going to reply probably more, but many of my fellow Christians already said and quoted verses I wanted to say. So I'll just be brief and sum up what I was going to say. 

Oracle :
Colossians 4:5-6 says, "Conduct yourselves with wisdom toward outsiders, making most of the opportunity. Let your speech always be with grace, as though seasoned by salt, so that you will know how you should respond to each person."

In essence what this passage is saying, with of course the implication that you desire grace, life, and favor imparted to the one you are speaking, but to be careful to speak by the Spirit. 

Proverbs 2  My son, if you will receive my words, and treasure my commandments within you, make your ear attentive to wisdom, incline your heart to understanding. For if you cry for discernment, lift your voice for understanding, if you seek her as silver, and search for her as for hidden treasures, then you will discern the fear of the Lord, and discover the knowledge of God. For the LORD gives wisdom; from His mouth come knowledge and understanding.

Be patient, be gentle, be blameless in your effort. Resist the temptation to argue with someone's intellect. You'll only be caught in a spiral once you try to go that direction, as I have seen and experienced myself. And it's easy to do with one's who are close to our heart, so it is the most tempting.

Remember, Ephesians 6:12 

For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the powers, against the world forces of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places.

I just want to encourage you and say, you are not the only one with a burden. But don't let despair for others choke out the life and every effort in you. Devote yourself to prayer. And walk in this peace:

Be anxious for nothing. But in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which passes all understanding, will guard your heart and mind in Christ Jesus. - Philippians 4:6-7

The battle is not yours, but the Lord's! Be confident that He sees and knows the condition of men. The Lord your God fights for you. AND NEVER underestimate what is happening in the Spirit. Just as God worked His Spirit with you, He does so with them. He put that concern in you. And He is concerned for them more than you. So I encourage you, be obedient, and trust in the Lord. But if He is telling you it is enough, don't try to do more than what He is calling you. You'll wear yourself out.

As Singelli said, in Hebrews 12, there is a great number of people who have gone before us and are cheering us on, so let's fix our eyes on Jesus, run this race, and finish well!

To play4fun,

Your insight is encouraging. Keep it up!

Shalom in Christ 

Hmm...I don't know if some are confusing evidence with proof. If you are looking for proof, there is none. This may sound hard, and it may be, but I don't mean it in any mean way. The only real proof would be to die, and see God, but then if you died unbelieving you would altogether die in your sin, and be apart from God, and that wouldn't be good! So proof is out of the question.

But there is plenty of good evidence. And I say, evidence is substance that is reliable and can leaned upon, with good reasoning, to find an answer. Jesus was a real historical figure. I don't think we could contest that. Josephus, a non-believing Jew, wrote of him in his writings, and He was well attested to in many other historical accounts that were secular. I think even most would agree that Jesus died. But what is important is establishing the fact that He rose from the dead. Jesus's disciples, which forsook him, and Peter who denied him three times, Thomas, who doubted, as well as many other eye witnesses, lives were changed so drastically, that they ended up being martyred. I say, if the Jews' - which did not believe - claim was true, that they stole the body, so they could start a new religion, was true, why, that would just be completely absurd! Perhaps one fool would die for something he knew not to be true, but all of the apostles?! (Except for John, he died a natural death, but was boiled inside the "brazen bull" and still lived for Jesus afterward to tell the tale.) Not to mention Paul, a notable historical figure, whose conversion was from being a devout Pharisee who was sure of what he believed to the point that he persecuted the church, then so much so was his conversion that he became one of the ones he persecuted, and afterward was persecuted himself and went on to preach Christ to the Gentile world and was rejected by his former peers who were Pharisees.

What would these men have gained if the foundation of what they were preaching was a lie? Once they were dead, they could gain nothing by it, if He did not rise from the dead. And if indeed it was a lie, they certainly didn't profit much from it while they were living, being persecuted, rejected by society, the shadow of punishment hanging over their head from the authorities, and being labeled as liars and deceivers all their life - who would want a life like that on the foundation of a lie? 

Gamaliel, a renowned teacher of the law and devout Pharisee in those days said,

"Men of Israel, take care what you propose to do with these men. For some time ago Theudas rose up, claiming to be somebody, and a group of about four hundred men joined up with him. But he was killed, and all who followed him were dispersed and came to nothing. After this man, Judas of Galilee rose up in the days of the census and drew away some people after him; he too perished, and all those who followed him were scattered. So in the present case, I say to you, stay away from these men and let them alone, for if this plan or action is of men, it will be overthrown; but if it is of God, you will not be able to overthrow them; or else you may even be found fighting against God."

Wise man. And indeed, the message of Christ has spread and continues to spread throughout the earth. 

I'm sorry, my friend, I do not know for what reason you are having trouble to believe, or what argument is hanging you up from believing. I could go on and on over stories of what He has done, but without faith, no proof, you would not be able to believe them. And I would also like to apologize on behalf of my brothers and sisters who have not shown good faith, and pastors and churches that have grossly misrepresented the meaning of Christianity to have intellectual knowledge of the scriptures and no life commitment to the teachings of Christ.

May God bless you and make His face to shine upon you, may He lift up your head and give you light.

Yeah, I just want to know how to switch from game to game within Final Fantasy I & II: Dawn of Souls. If there was a control to do an in-game reset I think that would work, but double-clicking the screen doesn't pull up the control to do so. Anyone who knows how to do this, the advice would be appreciated. I also know that you should do an in-game save followed by an F2 save before doing such, otherwise you'll lose your game.

Hmm, I think it is interesting that you chose such a topic as "Prove God Exists." There is absolutely no proof to the unbelieving mind that resists God, and there is sufficient evidence for those believers who know by the Spirit of God through faith that God exists and what Christ did for them.  

Hereby, I will offer no proof, but I will give an interesting topic of discussion (one like you wanted). The (re-)birth of modern day Israel. Now I'm not going to get into the whole dregs of 'politics and rights' surrounding the issue, although I am open to them in another post, and will gladly express my views regarding it.

In the six day war that was fought, Israel was surrounded by a host of several nations, out-numbered and out-gunned. Yet in spite of this, they succeeded. Was God there helping them? Or was this simply coincidence, and the result of human effort. There are many testimonies and stories from those involved that would suggest otherwise.

Here is a link to one of them.

This was taken from the series Against All Odds: Israel Survives.

But to some good sense isn't enough, it has to be proof! Unfortunately there is no proof, although historical facts and events ought to give one good sense to believe that it happened. To them, there will never be proof until they meet God, or, as I pray would happen to them, that God would grip their hearts with the reality of His presence. Historical facts of the testimonies of the apostles of Jesus give weight that it would not make sense that they would die for Jesus if He had not risen, cause that would mean they died for something they knew not to be true! But that isn't good enough to actually believe that He had, not to the mind that wants proof!

In the book of Isaiah, the Lord says, Remember the former things of old; for I am God, and there is none else; I am God and there is none like me, declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times the things that are not yet done, saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will do all my pleasure. Consider the prophecies of things the Lord spoke of that hundreds and sometimes thousands of years beforehand that came true, consider the prophecies of the Messiah Jesus who was to come, from His birth, to the way He came, to the things He did in His life, to His miracles, to His death, to His resurrection (I can go into detail with anyone later if they want). Do these things make good sense to believe in God? Answer: YES! But that is not enough for some, because they want proof. To disbelieve, you have to deny these things, the miracles I mentioned. Actually to disbelieve - well, you disbelieve because you want to, at least in most cases. There are plenty of things that have happened in history, and there are great things still happening to this day - God is still alive and well and working in the lives of others - that have weight and through good sense and looking into these things one would see God if only they would accept them. But if that isn't good enough, well, you decided that wasn't good enough. Want God to 'prove' His existence to everyone and make it undeniable? He already has in Jesus. Want more than that? Well, He'll come one day and show everyone. But until then it will never happen. Sorry. You will just have to decide whether the evidence is evidence enough.

God gripped my heart, and opened my eyes to see, and I see the great things He does all the time. He changed my desires, and now am humbled to see my need for Him in my life, and want to do His will. And I am willing to give up my life for my faith. I pray He will do it for you. 

Okay, just to go back over it, the RGR Plug-In is updated every month or two months or so, right? I'll just wait until the RGR Plug-In is updated and the game fixed. Thanks for the help, now I, and I guess others will know that the problem is not our browsers or our servers. Looking forward to the fix!

Thanks, I appreciate it. I really like the Zelda games. I also like the scripture reference you have above your name. That passage is one the chief words that the Spirit of God has grafted into my heart. 

So I was supposed to send you the URL of where the download is located on my media fire account. How are you going to access it? Wouldn't I have to be logged in?

And how do I upload my save state file? I already have the game saved right before the glitch, so is that good enough?

I tried upgrading my Internet browser support to Google Chrome, as the help page suggested, but it still won't play. I was going to download Windows 7, Windows Vista, or Windows X, but I don't know which one works best, and they are rather big files and time consuming to download, so, I didn't know if anyone knew which one works best so they could give me a heads up before I downloaded these rather large files. Or is this just a game that has a universal problem? Thanks, I like this game and really want to finish it. 

That would be great if I could, but until I get my own computer, (and I don't know how soon or long that will be) I can only use this computer at the public library and it won't permit me to download the RGR Plug In, so I have to use Java. Also, whenever I hit the ESC button, it doesn't bring up the menu. The only thing that happens is next to the arrow on screen, a little icon appears as if it were loading, but nothing appears. Any way to loop around control menu and bring up the game menu, or is there any pre-configuration in the computer I can change?

I tried using the F2 and the F4 when I was playing Breath of Fire (SNES), but all I got were pieces of the on screen graphics turning black and no loading. Is the RGR Plug In a must have to save on the SNES, or am I just doing something wrong and I can save on the Java Emulator on SNES? Any help with this would be appreciated, as I have checked the help center and I am still not clear.
