My dear
The post was not addressed to you was it?

I gave him an assignment that requires a basic qualification.

No one is Born A Christian. You become Made!

Atheists have their own god!
"The god of Self" and/or"The god of Science" and/or "The god of Reason".

Which one of these does your eternity depend on?

Jesus saves you form Eternal Separation from your Creator.

Your brother reminds me of myself at that age. The whole concept of Jesus blood being required for salvation of souls did not make sense to me, so also a God that watches our every move, speech and thoughts. I just wanted to play, eat, sleep and beba kid. I had to be dragged to church, Sunday school, choir practice, etc.
Till today the whole concept of the christian God remain senseless to me.

The earlier the better you should start praying for him, it is better now that you're aware of this at the early stage. The best thing to do is to pray for him fervently and show him some picture bible story book and pray before you do that as well.

God will open his eyes to the truth. Shalom


Pray for him ke? He is asking simple questions, very simple at that! How does praying for him help? What truth?


It takes maturity to believe in things unseen!

Kikikiki cheesy , over 3 hours to unsuccessfully explain god to an obviously unindoctrinated kid. By now, you should know the reason why you were unable to. And to those of you saying flog/whip the knowledge or force him to sunday school, this pretty much sums up how the adult christians we have came about.

If the concept of the Christian God do not make sense to you, Agreed!

Does the concept of GOD make any sense to you?

Ask, and you shall be given. Seek and you shall Find. Knock and it shall be opened unto you.

Have you truely and sincerely asked? What are your questions?

The term God has different concept by different people.
To the Jews their God is a Yahweh who helps the war and defeats their enemies but must obey his laws and covenants. He is said to be highly temperamental and unpredictable. He is said to create the heavens and earth.
The Christian God is a confused mish mash of concepts, he is a mosaic of the Jewish God Yahweh, the Greek God Zeus and the Persian God Mithra.

Tell me your concept of God, maybe I may be able to make sense of it.

My question is why do I need salvation and salvation from who or what? Are you saying that before your God Jesus brought his salvation everyone that lived and died previously were not saved?

At six, he is still trainable. He is still some kind of God, Saint or Sinner. Just be careful that you don't become a bad Trainer to him. You have just one year more to make him either righteous or selfish for ever. Good luck.

I have been trying for the past three (3) hours now to explain the concept of God to my six year old half brother. who recently just returned from the states. I tried reading using the bible and he asked me the most difficult but simple question. Big brother where did God come from if you said there was nothing in world!! I dropped the bible immediately.

I tried using nature to explain that the beautiful flowers, birds and sea were created by God. Then he asked me who created God because mama bird and papa bird will have junior bird and for the flowers I need to plant its seed for them to grow.. so big brother who is papa God


I hate to be the bearer of bad news ( at least to you ) , but your six year old half brother is way smarter than you

Your half-brother is clearly more rational than you. Everything he said makes perfect sense. Please leave him alone or he'll become anti-theist.

There's nothing wrong with your cousin, the truth is the more you are enlightened the more you ask questions, If you can't explain why and How God exists how do you want him to believe, and if he believes you are preparing him to accept things without validation. So really because you wouldn't want him to believe the world is flat by faith or that there's no such thing as the wind, everything is emperical so the fact he doesn't understand means he has a very functioning brain. as for the Spiritual now that's another thing, sometimes taking things by faith is dangerous, for instance you want me to believe there's something when i don't have knowledge that something exists.

Religion is hard to force on anyone

@sobastical I seriously want to believe that there are ways I can explain that God exists because if I do what u suggest next time I meet another lost soul like my brother what should I now do...
HE ASKED A QUESTION DOESNT MEAN HE IS A LOST SOUL, DNT CONDEMN HIM ND ODAS DAT ASKED SUCH. JUST PRAY 4GOD 2REVEAL HIMSELF IN HIM ND ODAS LIFE IN A WONDEROUS WAY. HE IS STIL LITU ND HE BASED HIS QUESTION ON WAT HE CAN SEE.

This is actually the truth in the normal sense, your cousin is actually more rational than you are, even as a Christian i find myself constantly racking my brain how it's possible for God to just exist out of nowhere, everything has to come from something.

the only way you can make him believe is making him stay longer and engage him in activities coz I assure no. matter wat you say to him once he goes back it'll be all gone again make him understand the concept of faith first just like the little fairy stories of Santa,tooth fairy but then assure him that God exist he is not just a fairy

Because he is of digital age and he is growing up rationally in a digital and jet age. But for deluded and primitive influences like you,he will grow up to be the best he can in life.

I think it is you that needs a rethink and start making the best of your nature given brain,not the little man.

The poster is even confused... He asked a question and never told you he doesn't believe in God...

It will be better if you tell him to seek from the Holy Spirit, who will tell him better... God is a supernatural being... He existed by Himself, created by no one...

Does God feel real to you? How? Is it personal? Something you can confidently relate to? If yes, congrats. Explain that to your lil bro. The Holy Spirit would help him believe. He'ld accept it although he might not understand because the carnal man doesn't understand the things of the spirit. When the Spirit helps him to accept, his continuous exposure to the WORD would help understand God more and more each passing day
