The problem with trying to prove to you that YHWH is real is that you don't have faith in anything. If I told you of my personal experiences, you would just discredit me as a liar and have no faith in what I said.
But just for kicks and giggles:
One of my best friends was healed of HIV. Yes, I said healed. He had it, prayed, and no longer has it.
I was personally healed recently. I tore my rotator cuff and God restored it - INSTANTLY
I watched with my own eyes as God removed a tumor the size of a grapefruit from a woman's neck... "Physically"
But again, those don't count because you don't believe it. They happened, but they don't "prove" anything because you say so.

Damn, I hate seeing quotes like this. If their God is real, then these people are going to join us in Hell for ignoring his rules while claiming to follow them. And apart from them, Hell sounds fucking fun.
Don't spoil my afterdeath, bitches!
If you pray for a seven at craps, you'll sometimes get it. But God disapproves of gambling, so He only lets you get it one time in six. Roulette has bigger payoffs, so He disapproves of that even more. He'll only make your number come up one time in 38 (37 with a single-zero wheel).
You're right, we don't believe you. Why should we? We don't know you, and you freely admit you have an agenda, i.e. promoting Christianity.
Faith doesn't give answers, it stops the questions.
If there was proof, and there should be, for amazing things like the medical things you claim, then we'd believe it. Come back to us then and we'll talk, 'k?
Lying for Jesus...and btw, your Gawd is an asshole. There are starving kids all over the world, there are soldiers losing their lives for a lost cause, there are plenty of other charity cases your precious Gawd could tend to, yet he decided just to heal your HIV positive friend and your rotator cuff. Hmmm why doesn't your all merciful, all powerful Gawd do those other things?
Oh, because HE DOESN'T EXIST & YOU'RE MAKING THIS UP. Yep.
Personal anecdotes are proof of nothing. Never have been. Never will be. For example, no one believes that I once saw Paul Bunyan and Babe, the blue ox. Man, I'll tell ya, when old Babe dropped one you didn't want to be downwind, know what I mean?
My money is on you being a lying sack of shit.
If what you say were true, no Christian would ever get sick or need hospitalization. Your answer would likely be that their faith is weak, or god doesn't work that way.
In my experience, god doesn't work at all.
This is just for kicks and giggles.
I saw this post on FSTDT and it was full of anecdotal rubbish and outright lies. I thought the author must be sorely troubled because who did he think was gonna believe it? But then I saw he only made it for kicks and giggles, so I thought, that's alright then. Otherwise, I was gonna say that he was a fucking liar. It was already clear that he was stupid but I would have lain the charge of being a mendacious twat upon him as well.
Holy smacks, cured of HIV? Hurry and get the most prestigious medical journals.
Yeah right. More likely lying for Jeebus and at best a bad diagnosis.
2 days ago I meet these three superhot chicks, and we had SEX all night long, and when the morning came, they cooked me breakfast and walked home. Simultaneously my favorite Columbo episode was on, and it is FUNNY my TV doesn't work anymore, but it did when Columbo was on, which were sent during the daytime, if though it is normally sent in the evening.
And then walked up to the store go get me some FOOD, and what do I find, a lottery ticket. In my pocket we go. And when I came to the store, the keeper was very thrilled to see me, because the freezer was broken, SO the icecream was melting, so he gave me a lot of free ice cream. When I got home and checked my lottery ticket, I have had WON a million dollars.
But I don't have any proof, and I have used all the money on WHORES.
I once prayed for a butterfly that was drowing in the middle of a lake. The wind blew and carried the butterfly to me and I could get it out.
But I know nobody would beleive that story. I wouldn't try and use it as evidence.
"you would just discredit me as a liar and have no faith in what I said."
Generally, I'd discredit you as disillusioned. In this case, however, I'm definitely going with that you're a liar.
"One of my best friends was healed of HIV. Yes, I said healed. He had it, prayed, and no longer has it."
You'd best advise him to get retested before he unwittingly passes it on to someone. My supposition would be a false positive or negative on one of the tests gave false impressions. The former is the only I know to be possible, however.
Your friend probably just has the gene that prevents HIV from infecting him. This isn't anything new. It's already been discovered that a few people can't be infected by HIV. They produce antibodies right away that destroys it. He probably had some in his body when he was tested, but it went away fast.
Your rotator cuff was torn and it healed instantly? Or you THINK it was torn? How would you know unless you had a medical professional look at it. You say it was restored INSTANTLY, which suggests you're just guessing it was torn.
Now the last one. WTF?! You saw God physically remove the grapefruit tumor from her neck. So God actually came to Earth and performed the surgery?! If God suddenly showed up in a hospital everyone would hear about it.
how convenient that miracles refuse to happen when any objective observer is around to record and analyze them.
PS: every religion to ever exist had 'miracles' but those are just hoaxes, or satan. The point is your 'proof' despite being EXACTLY the same as theirs, is the only reliable one. right?
what bugs me most about these assholes is that they never give any credit to the doctors and nurses who work their asses off trying to save peoples lives. so, if this person's friend did have HIV and go into remission, it couldn't possibly be because of the medical treatment they were receiving, oh no....
One of my best friends was healed of HIV. Yes, I said healed. He had it, prayed, and no longer has it.
Prove it. Fucking prove it. I demand to see blood results from said friend, one stating his HIV+ status, and a later one stating an ABSOLUTE HIV- status. Not remission, GONE. Otherwise, you are a liar, and a snake oil salesman.
I have faith in (parts of) humanity. I have faith in the Red Cross, Save the Children, Amnesty, Greenpeace, Doctors without Borders, etc.
Personal experience is not proof.
Provide your friends' (is he a split personality, or what) medical records before and after this supposed healing.
We also want to see the medical records of your rotator cuff before and after the healing.
Are you sure that "tumor" wasn't just water-filled?
Why did you put citation marks around physically?
Those don't count because you can't provide tangible medical evidence.
Evidence proves things, anecdotes do not.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
