God is delighted with your questions :) . They show you are sincerely seeking and He will honor that.

But all the answers don't come at once; and some of them won't come at all. That's where faith comes in. He has given us ENOUGH to believe but not so much that we don't have to use our faith muscle:

Hebrews 11:2-3
Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see. 2 This is what the ancients were commended for.
3 By faith we understand that the universe was formed at God’s command, so that what is seen was not made out of what was visible.


(Hebrews 11 is all about faith)



You do have a lot of interesting questions that would take a lot of time to answer thoroughly but here's some short answers :)


Hello i hope someone can help me i am a christian but im having loads of doubts about the existense of god all im thiinking is "is a brainwashing thing" "people came up with it because they couldnt explain science" "why would god ask adam and eve to populate the earth if he knew they were sinners?
Or why did He create Adam and Eve at all if He already knew they were going to fall into sin? Because He's a creator and He desires relationship. It's kind of similar to why couples have children. We desire relationship with our own 'creations' :) . God knew that all of us were sinners but He loved us so much that He put Himself on the Cross to bring us back to Him. What a loving Father! i feel like its all man made i dont understand the bible i pray for answers and others pray for me and when i do feel a little bit joyful i assume is some physocological thing. The devil is thrilled when you poo-poo the Holy Spirit giving you joy. Don't give it up so easily ;) .Ive read a tonne of pages on the internet of "proof god exists" and proof "god dosent exist" and they both have good points. The biggest proof to me is changed lives. The proof is in the pudding...never really understood that but I think it means the proof is evident...just look at how people can go from being murders to children of God. That takes a total heart and mind change.That takes supernatural power. Also if jews/chatholics/muslims all believe in the same god (ive been told) then why do we all live different and all so confused. Muslims do not believe in the same god. Their 'god' sanctions the murder of 'infidels' (non-Muslins). Jews believe in the same God but they missed their Messiah :(. Catholics are Christians (though some argue this. I'll probably get dinged for this) except they have a few doctrines that are debatable. Also does hell exist do we go there if we sin and not repent for it ? some christians say that is true others say no ? There really is a hell and it's where's people go who do not repent of their rebellion against God by accepting Jesus' death and resurrection for their sins. After being saved, we still sin but we try VERY HARD not to. We won't be 'perfect' until we get to heaven. whats going on i keep switching from believing to non believing because of all the questions. You just need to read and study; pray for the Holy Spirit to come into your heart and explain the Bible to you. You won't understand it until you do this. Some people have good evidence i watched the testiomy about a girl who saw hevean and hell she was dead for 23 hours , others have visons that they can prove all i had was jesus hugging me in a dream but i think its because i really wanted that to happan. If god is real why dosent he show solid proof to christians who are struggling to keep belief it seems sad that some try so hard but would go to hell because of it dont you think? God desires for everyone to go to heaven but it's a personal choice. Bending their knee to Him isn't easy for many people. And some people just don't want to change the way they live. We cannot love the world and love Christ at the same time (he said that). another thing who are jehovah witnesses? They do not teach Christianity correctly and are considered a cult: "These groups deny or distort fundamental Christian doctrines such as the Trinity, the deity of Christ, and salvation by grace through faith alone. Some cults that would fall into this category are the Mormons, Jehovah’s Witnesses, Christian Science, The Way International, and the Unity School of Christianity". i have a bible from them that they sold to me as a child it says things like only 144,000 will go to hevean ? Some people think this is a literal number and some think it is just symbolic....I think it's symbolism. im so confused :( also apparently the bible has loads of errors Actually, it does not have errors. You just need to read and study :) , you know the profecies in the old testement how do we know they were written before they happaned? how do i know that what we feel has nothing to do with god and is just phycological stuff? There is LOTS of physical evidence for what the Bible teaches. Try Josh McDowell's book "Evidence that Demands a Verdict". He was a very skeptical non-believer who changed his mind after studying the evidence. im sorry if this is a lot and offends people but i am genuine i need some help :( thank you xx *sorry for bad spelling*[/quote]

Praying for your continued growth....stick with it; the rewards are incredible :)

EMZ1066 --- I have always believed in the Lord, but to be honest until a few years ago I wanted to do whatever I wanted to do. I really had conversations with the lord saying I know I need to come ask you in and start doing right but I don’t want to be a Christian nerd, bible thumper, being part of the world was more important.

I’m just so grateful I was able to swallow my pride, rebuke the word, ask Jesus in and tell him to make me what he wants. You know the first time I said “ Jesus Please Come into my heart, I want and need you to be my lord and savior, it came out as a whisper. It was hard. I believe the devil fought me every inch of the way, but once I broke that strangle hold it has got easier and easier and now I loudly say Jesus Christ is my lord and savior.

The relief that came over me when was amazing. I say if you’re scared of being a bible nerd, of people making fun of you, maybe you think you will give up all your fun that your friends are having, DRINKING, DRUGS, SEX, PARTIES, MAYBE you’re scared that you can’t be perfect – WELL I TELL YOU – YOU CAN’T BE so don’t let that bother you. When you fall, get back up and dust yourself off, repent your sins, hold your head high and keep marching to the Lord, because the REWARD IS SO MUCH BETTER. Jesus said I command my people to come up out this world and my sheep will hear my voice.

I just want to tell you that you are on the clock because tomorrow is not promised to you and you know in your heart that Jesus is REAL. He put it in you to know this Romans 1:18-20 and nobody is without excuse.

I will pray for and may the Lord Jesus Christ Bless You.

ok i understand what you mean here but i dont know what you mean on the other one? tickling ears? being false phophet??
Emz1066, I hope you do not think I was calling you a false Prophet. Chasen had came against the Word I gave, and I did not want it to mean she was a false propht neither. The Church is so much in GREAT ERROR these days because of a FEEL GOOD GOSPEL. And after 18 years of Preaching, teaching and pastoring, I am fed up with these people that places TRUTH aside so that they do not offend anyone. Even sinners that are heading to hell.

I want you to understand something, I deeply care for you, because the LORD put that in me. I have come to understand the LOVE OF THE FATHER in such an intimate way, and that is pured out of me unto other peoples lives. People will try to explain to you about God using intelectual means. About creation verses science and the such. What I am telling you, until GOD HIMSELF reaveals WHO HE IS to you personaly ONE ON ONE, you can never really believe nor comprehend HIM.

I will not give you scriptures verse by verse, but I will give you what HE has showed us HIS children through the WORD of GOD so you may understand. If I gave you chapter and verse of ZBible, what good is that? You stated you do not understand such. And rightly so. Before I became born again, I had a worldly mind, and I could not comprehend the WORD of GOD.

I am only going by what you have stated and I am not putting you down at all for it. We have all been there, and all I am trying to do is get you where GOD wants you to be. I hope you understand this and be not offended.

You are born into this world. You have the mind of the world. You live according to the interlectual. A person of this like we all were, cannot understand the things of God nor understand God Himself, because God is not of this WORLD. The person of the World only lives according to their senses. What they see, hear, feel and such. God is a Spirit, and He can only be understood when we allow HIS SPIRIT to do so. That is when, recognizing our sinfulness has separated us from GOD. So we get godly sorrow for such. Once we have this godly sorrow, it brings us into a state of repentance fromsuch a life. Or a state of wanting to turn from such a sinful life that separated us from God. Once we have this godly sorrow and willing to repent, GOD then sees that you have opened up the DOOR to your heart unto HIM so HE can reval HIS GREAT love HE has for you through HIS SON JESUS: HE then can reval HIMSELF to you like nothing else nor no one else can in this WORLD. You will NOT DOUBT then that HE is real, or HIS SON JESUS in you.

I never want to offend you, all I want is for you to come to understand GOD and HIS LOVE. But I will not lie to you and tell you sweet things so as to keep you in the state that you are in. IT IS A CHOICE THAT YOU AND EVErYONE ELSE MUSt MAKE. If you are SICK and TIRED of the old life you have, then HE HAS A NEW ONE FORE YOU. When you make the choice for HIM, then the OLD LIFE PASSES AWAY, and HE GIVES UNTO YOU Everthing NEW. He takes the old heart of your out, and gives you a new heart that LOVES THE THINGS HE LOVES and HATES THE THINGS HE HATES. HE changes you.

But it takes you understanding that you have sinned and lived in sin and this has separated you from HIM. HE wants you to understand YOUR CREATED VALUE HE CREATED YOU TO BE. And HE does not want you to be what people have determined you to be. HE just wants you to KNOW HIM. HE loves you but HE wants to BE IN LOVE WITH YOU. And this takes your discision. A discision to allow HIM to CHANGE YOU.

Woah there. I think you just need to slow down and take a step back. You listed about a dozen or so topics that are all very easily discussions that are hours long.

As for "proof God doesn't exist" I've seen such things before, and it's not even close to convincing. My philosophy on doubt is that doubt on its own is very weak.

I'm not sure where you'd like to begin with this, perhaps we should start by you telling me what your one biggest question/concern is, whether it's Jehovah's witnesses, Christians having the same god as Muslims (btw, when did Islam start teaching that Jesus Christ is the Son of God who died and rose again for the forgiveness of our sins?), or sopposed contradictions in the Bible (there aren't any btw, and I'm building a website that is partcially dedicated to addressing such things).
To the OP. I was having this exact crisis for about 3 years. I agree with megaman here about the proof he doesn't exist thing. If you research some of the well known people who are putting these ideas out there, such as the creators of the movie Zeitgeist, and who is really behind them, and then research the information they are providing you with, then you will discover that they are all frauds and twist certain philosophies and make up "facts" to prove the point they are trying to push. Don't believe everything you hear if you must look these types of lies up in hopes of salvaging your faith.

Thest best thing would be not to look at them at all though, because some are convincing. Matthew 24:24 For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall show great signs and wonders; so that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.

I would advise not looking at the arguments against the existence of God until a) you have built up your faith through prayer, Bible study, fellowship with other believer, and striving to serve Jesus and b) you have found people who are knowledgeable and able to handle the challenges you may confront.

First, I have to ask, "Are you REALLY a Christian?" Your words ring with a tone of someone
playing religion. You ask for "proof?" You are wanting a scientific lab experiement result.
But you have proof. The nation of Israel, whom God said He would bring back and re-establish
as a nation. That is the sign to the whole world.

You seem to be surfing for knowledge, but knowledge can't get you saved. You ask for "proofs"
but what good did all the proofs Jesus showed to the Pharasees? Jesus said He is the way.
If one is saved, they are spiritually connected back to God, through Jesus. Spiritual discrenment
is what you need to be seeking. THAT will open your mind and lead you into truth, IF you are
saved and seeking to follow Jesus. Spiritual discrenment and spiritual truth, does not depend
on one's educational level. Spiritual wisdom from God surpasses all the knowledge of man.
But as it stands, you seem to be seeking God through the physical world, with physical, tangible
objects. God is spirit and if you aren't connected spiritually, seeking God in the physical will
be like a dog chasing its tail.

I Thank God for people like Chip, god bless you Sir! I want to say this, all these concerns are real and its so sad that Christians would want to judge this brother that the Lord has used to bring out this issue that am sure many Christians are struggling with... God is there and all you need to do is ask Him and he will answer you ask Him to show and reveal himself to you, you will have a better understanding of God from a personal journey/walk than you would ever, looking at books or the internet... what makes Christianity a unique religion is that its not a program, its a persona and you can talk to him about your concerns and he will settle you!

Jesus is love and there is so much that He can do for you. Without Him life has no meaning.
Don't get bogged down in manmade rules. Focus on the central message of the New Testament.
What kind of proof do you need? Even if we see something recorded on video it might not be real or be doctored. We cannot all put our fingers in the wounds like Thomas.

You know, people, I really have to object. Emz1066 is someone with questions and a couple of these posts almost sound like you're berating her for asking.

Trax, your post really exemplifies this. No offense but I feel the way you answered her is just plain wrong. Should a person not ask questions? Should they just ignore what they feel are inconsistencies? Perhaps Emz was just "playing religion." But guess what? If she takes the answers given to her to heart and really set out to know God, it's not playing anymore. It just became real. It's good to get spiritual discernment... but come on man, let her ask questions.

best of luck, praying for you and never stop "looking for evidence", validation of truth is terribly important in this day and age!

I truly believe that each one of us has to know God for ourselves. It's not something you can take another person's "word for" but we need a personal radical salvation and a real knowing. I don't think it's wrong to want this, and I believe it's something you can pray for. Jesus said, he is a friend who sticks closer then a brother, so why not ask him to reveal himself to you so that you might know him. Draw close to God and he will draw close to you!

...I know I'm randomly jumping in and I DO NOT want or desire to argue with or Offend ANYONE..But I just HAD to say something about this quote:

"Hello i hope someone can help me i am a christian but im having loads of doubts about the existense of god all im thiinking is 'is a brainwashing thing'"...

Do you ever see how much Illuminati symbolism there is in almost EVERYTHING we watch on television and hear in music..?
That is widely known as Evil.

(People reading this - please do not get offended.)
The Athiest episodes and many athiest statements on Family Guy, American Dad and this new Cleveland Show (..I stay at home too much..), are trying to brainwash people to become one themself. They freely make fun of God and Jesus Christ, making people just laugh and feel a bit goofy about it (I don't let it offend or get to me personally), but whenever they mention Athiest or something about Satan - It's never much of a joke or as "funny", It's mostly just a statement or situation straight up about it. (I'm talking about these shows specifically, not any other animated comedy show.)
Why do I say that..? These three shows are made from the same company - why would they want to make so much of an Athiest statement for some reason...? These people are also involved within the Illuminati and it's symbolism - that's Widely known as Evil. Basically, they (the companies within the Illuminati) want you to Atleast become an Athiest.
There's much more towards that "organization" than I'm just simply mentioning. I actually refuse to look any more into it. I'd actually start to hear voices and get nightmares the more I'll simply wonder about it - Seriously.

Just from watching the News - all the murders (becoming more and more Random), senseless rape, and all sorts of horrible situations known as Crime..You Know there's Evil out there.

It's obvious there's evil out there, so why wouldn't there be something Good out there in life? If there is no God or Jesus or anything to recieve anything Good from, we're just here to kill each other physically and mentally?
If that's the case, why does Pain literally hurt so bad? How come we're not immune to it, and how come people out there are creating medicines to try to get rid of it? Why does everyone want to get far and more far away from it? Is there truly anyone out there who's Mentally stable who also actually Likes or Loves Pain..???

..just some things to think about.

Well, for me it begins when he wakes me up each morning. I can't wake up if He doesn't wake me. After I wake I find myself clothed in my right mind. I'm able to walk out of my room. I also notice that he a to continuellows me to contiuously breath His perfectly formulated air while dwelling on His earth. He's also kind enough to let me drink His water and use His sunlight. I know His favor His grace and His mercy! He has worked miricles in my life. He has saved my life over and over again. He has pearsonnally proven to m ae who hHe ise. And I am humble enough to ackowledge Him.

Our ideas of God do not change the reality of His existence, only our perception of that reality.
Only changing a skeptic's mind is harder to do ;)

On another note...

If there is no god, then where does order come from?
If there is no order, then how can logic ever work?
if there is no logic, then why bother?


NOTE: I wrote a nice paragraph below, but I noticed major ignorance on my part, so I erased it.

For the record, I am not through seeking Truth either.

P.S.
Your idea of buying a Bible and reading it yourself is good, along with going to a Bible Study.
I pray God shows you new insight and you accept. :)
I, too, will take to reading more Scripture...more.

hey man i went through the same thing but he answered me, where's the love? isn't that how we are to treat each other with love?
