Christians, Why Do You Believe In The Biblical God? by Nobody: 11:13am On Feb 01, 2016
I mean I find it so hard to believe in this God. Too much inconsistencies in the Bible. Too deep a silence from God since the biblical era.

How do you do it? How can you live through all these absurdities and inconsistencies in the Bible without asking questions or without harbouring questions. And how are you so sure about the bible being the dictates of God, especially considering the fact that is filled with scientific inaccuracies and absurdities? How do I get this type of faith that makes me start accepting stuffs that I ordinarily would reject without qualms?

I am sincerely baffled. Can anyone really "save" me?

Has he appeared to you or ever spoken to you? I find it hard to believe, no matter how much I try, that he is real.

Ask Him personally in your own language to reveal Himself to you in a way you will understand that He is the one, If He doesn't, anywhere you see the moniker Destined2win, never take him serious

There are no inconsistencies in the bible. It is our human perception of the writeup that points out seeming çontradictions, but to the creator, His word is clear and harmonous. Bt many of such perceived inconsistencies has even been solved by some xtens.

Which is really ur problem?

2. No human can save you, only God.

3. No matter the effort of science there are questions they can't answer about existence. The existence of a supernatural cause makes sense as the bible shows.

The bible said that we who believes has been giving the power 2 know the mistery bt 2 ppl. Like u its just fairytale... But I pray 2day that you'll b among the ppl he said he will. Bring into his fold... Amen... I have been where u are. Nw guy n its hard 2 believe especially when u have read Richard Dawkins' magic of reality n selfish gene... For me. Being a.

If you search the bible for inconsistencies, you will find them plenty.

If you search for the true nature of God, it is there.

If your reason is to build a better relationship with, my brother, you will find it asaply.

So it all depends on why and what you search.

Your mindset, which is that he's not real is the reason you see the inconsistencies.

Jeremiah 33:3 Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and shew thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not.

Call Unto Him Now and He Will Explain The Inconsistencies To You.

Op I find it unintelligentable to believing in God or the bible because these are works of primitive men who in their adventure to discovering the world, came up with these assumptions and claims.

But upon the enlightenment era, especially, the beginning of the industrial revolution, man began civilization and came to realize God/god/bible and all were all fallacies and don't exist in the real world but it was unfortunate that the misconception of God already gone viral and to combat that mentality, it only takes studying, learning facts and truth to discover yourself. Ofcourse brave men seized the opportunity to enslave his fellow man that's why you have churches of different denominations these days.

For example, The colonial masters who colonized Nigeria gave Nigeria the God they worshipping today and the bible. Now the question to ask yourself is.

Can a slave and a master worship the same God?

Belief/faith is a spiritual gift. It doesn't come by human reason. It's why people don't get saved just because they lost an argument about the non existence of God. It has to come from the heart.

Scientific absurdities in the bible ? New flash bro , the big bang happened twice grin - according to new "research". I mean some "scientists" conspicuously ran outta jokes grin

Anyway , God is real . A creator is real .

If you believe there is no God can you explain the existence of nature and natural processes and how nature derived the propensity to establish the MR. NIGER D characteristics of life forms

God remains an idea. Nature is real and you are a part of it. God is real and the only evidence you have for it and the words you speak? If God is real then how can it be tested and verified objectively? Why do you keep making bald and empty assertions? God is not real. You only believe that the God idea is real because you were indoctrinated into believing one out of the many God ideas.

Atheism limits open mindedness . Free thinking for atheists stops when a creator figure sets a standard for morality . That's why bro Johnydon22 opened a thread explaining what he understands by forgiveness and subjecting the "concept" to derision . And off course 19 other shallow thinkers made me waste my time going through it to actually understand the "points" made .

Someone -an atheist- (cant remember he username ) said some supernatural experiences involve the tuning of one's brain frequency or some shi.t . At least he's trying to extricate himself from shallowness atheistic free thinking elicits .

True adherents of Christ teachings can "tune their brains into high frequencies" to objectively test and verify the reality of God's existence . To experience God in His fullness is not for all

"many are called but few are chosen"
"knock and it shall be opened unto you"
"seek and you shall find"
" Come near to God and he will come near to you " and so many

These are hidden recondite messages in the bible though clear to the naked eye - conspicuous - but are for the chosen lot to experience the fullness of his glory.

Exactly that's the point . You have the ability to discern right or wrong , foolishness and wisdom , intelligence and vacuousness . Those are properties of an eternal figure passed unto you .

Saying believing in an eternal creator makes no sense is below shallow - you hit rock bottom dude .

Believing in an eternal God - as the bible puts it - is the most rational thing to do

1. His eternal existence means he has no beginning and end - precluding infinite regression : automated processes manufacture goods , robots orchestrate automated processes , man made robots but no one made God . Makes sense right ?

2. Faith : The bible made it clear we believe in God's existence and creation of the universe through faith . We all did not witness it but through faith we believe He did it by His power . Faith - the assurance , the certainty He did it . Cool right ? Hold on ...

Now atheist scientists try to rule out God but since their works have been futile . Atheists have place their faith in science . How ? Science through it has its limitations will provide all the answers to the pertinent questions concerning the universe . Wait ?! Since scientists have made it clear that they know little about the universe but why are these free thinking atheists so certain and assured that science one day though the universe is incomprehensibly vast and no one witnessed it will provide all the answers ? Faith ! Now its cool !

I mean both sides have shown faith but the Christians are seen as delusional and the atheists are seen as the rational ones . Not cool right ? Yeah , we know undecided sad

It does not mean He was exhausted . He just stopped creating on the seventh day .

Psalm 121:1- 4

1. I lift up my eyes to the hills. From where does my help come?
2 My help comes from the Lord, who made heaven and earth.
3 He will not let your foot be moved; he who keeps you will not slumber.
4 Behold, he who keeps Israel will neither slumber nor sleep.

God never sleeps or slumbers , so why does He need rest ? Is he a human or a biological life form ?

The writer just described the end of creation as a rest

Still didn't answer my question but overshadowed it with a bible verse which am about using to put you in a position.

God is the word and the word is God.

The same bible says, God created man in his own image.

Question is, you intending to reply the question, are you a word or you human? If human then what word is God? And If Word why reply my question as human?
