One minute I do then the next boom no such thing,(its a fabricated story) why couldn't God and jesus just prove himself to me or us who truly believe this has made me doubt terribly but im the least expected guy to believe because ive always acted the big guy drugging it but i stopped everything all thanks to what i beleive God but why would religion be so difficult why are we here why didn't God make a sin free world i know all about agency i believe it is and free choice but come on can anyone see my struggle its breaking me apart wasting my life look into stuff obsessively. Thank you for reading this to the bottom if you did. God bless,

Your confusion is understandable, these are all questions many even the most mature and experienced of Christians ask and ponder about so trust me your not alone in this.Doubt the enemies most essential tool to weaken and confuse us and the only way to beat doubt is to look away from it. These things your worried about are just a distraction, thoughts and worries placed in your head to distract you from God himself. Remember seek first the kingdom of god and all other things will be given to you.

So if you focus on God then all these other things will fix themselves. How much time a day do you spend with him? How much time a day do you talk with him? how much time a day do you spend getting to know him? It's vital that we spend as much time with god as we can because he is the source of peace and love and life after all.

You are totally right I do not spend enough time with him but maybe the doubd has got to surreal to even pray once a day and maybe I am not being patient enough for prayers to be answered as I understand a day is a thousand years to the lord time does not exsist.

That is normally how it works, when we don't spend enough time with God doubt and all kinds of things can creep in and take root in us. It's like a plant that gets sunlight but doesn't get water it just shrivels up.

Good questions and probably everyone has had to face these same questions and weakness in faith.

There is a answer for almost everything you seek. The question is will I search for the answer?

God has gave us way more than enough to know he is real. But where do we look first? Gods words to you explain who God is and the personality of God.

The scriptures will open your eyes to who God is. And you will begin to see evidence of God all around you.

You will see God in nature, beauty, history, science, space, the creation of human anatomy, laws of physics, law of nature(moral law), math is said that everything in the world has a equation that shapes its existence, our human dna holds more information than books stacked to the moon, our dna also has its own way to tranfer information that without the code it would be impossible, plus it has this repair process that literally travels up and down the dna to fix tears, or how blood clots to stop bleeding, or how our immune system protects us from millions of diseases and illnesses.

In space if our planet was just a little farther in one direction we would burn up, if it was the other we would freeze.

This proves of a intelligent creator not a explosion that creates intelligent very detailed things. Every explosion i ever seen creates destruction.

We have these laws in our universe that are not written. Law of physics and a moral law. Probably others that i have not named. But the very real one we can feel is the moral law within us. This moral law our moral compass that everyone in the world has a sense on the basics of right and wrong. Most all can agree stealing, lying, and murder, etc is wrong. Most all can agree honor, courage, honesty, fidelity, etc is right.

For this to be written in our hearts there must be a intelligent law maker and a higher deity to judge what is right and wrong.

History has tons of archeology, eye witness accounts, secular eye witness accounts, other countries speak of a flood, Egypt historically documented the plagues, the bible talks of multiple droughts that are historically documented in other countries historical documents. Jesus was real, Jesus was crucified, and eye witnesses proved it. Plus the quick spread of Christianity was a clear sign of something major had happened and even to the point the emperor of rome eventually converted to Christianity which is amazing because emperors was thought to be gods themselves.

We can go on and on. But the only way to see God is to understand who God is.

The answers are there, God gave us more than enough to believe. We just have to be willing to seak.

God tells us to ask for wisdom and understanding. God tells us to search the scriptures. Everything i just said is linked into scripture in some way.

Hope this helps.

I have watched hundreds of videos to prove and I believe the government doesen't want us knowing that there is a God hence why on most tv broadcadting they say there isnt no one will truly be able to say there isn't but we live in a world where the satanic cults exsist and I also believe people's testimony for instance voices telling them not to go to places and a bomb went off a man and I know its on tv, mockery of a God many bright minded people say we are distracted by whats on TV . Pointless things such as famous people and all this feels like its working I know there is a God its just wr are being controlled and fed information to think the supernatural doesent't exsist and it is fiction but the archeolgy sitee excuse my grammar most will be paid to hide the truth. Do you agree to some extent.?

Well i agree about satin and thr media but it would be hard to take something like the dead sea scrolls and change the words since they are so old and most are opened to be examined and are not hidden but some are in museums.

Thats just one set of evidence out of countless others. In fact a bible musuam will open in our nations capital here very soon holding tons of evidence.

Did you know dinosaurs are in the bible and the bible can prove evolution wrong and the meteor theory of dino extinction wrong?

Job 40:15-24 speaks of a "behemoth.

In Job 41:1-2,7,12-32, the "Leviathan"

The ice age is mentioned here which it had to be really cold for them to mention this in that region.

Out of the South comes the storm.
And out of the North comes the cold
From the breath of God ice is made
And the expanse of the water is frozen. (Job 37:9-10 NASV)

dinosaur” was coined (back when scientists called the great reptiles “dragons”

So anywhere in the bible dragon is used it to bring the thought to great big terrifying reptiles.

And we have other historical documentation from other countries talking of dragons and the slaying of dragons. Sailors would draw on their maps great big beasts and legends of beasts.

Both dragons of the sea (Psalm 74:13) and field (Isaiah 43:20) are mentioned and even the The Vocalization of the Dragon is alluded to. Indeed, Genesis 1:21 can best be translated: “And God created great sea monsters…” One such sea monster became sufficiently well-known to the ancients to be given the special name “Rahab” (Isaiah 51:9)


Which is another clue dinosaurs didnt live millions of years ago.

The flood in genesis proves why we have so many fossilized bones and fish, so much so that we have tons of fossil fuels. The only way this could of happened was the bones had to be covered very quickly as in a great flood. If a meteor would of hit they would died on the surface and not been covered. But the flood and the shifting of dirt covered a large extent of the dinosaurs.

Plus they recently discovered t rex bones with living blood cells which would be impossible to be millions of years old.


It would not of been impossible for dinosaurs to be on the ark. Since it would of been logical to bring baby animals, small less room, and have longer to live.

All of this I posted was from my doubts and search for evidence and truth. Trust me you will only become more convinced.
