The boy is intelligent. Even if you take him to tb joshua. Without the evidence of God's original existence before creation, he still won't believe you.

This are serious things. The Bible tells us if we spare the rod we spoil the child. OP, do you want your brother life to go to the Devil? The Bible tells us there is a time for all things. The time for koboko is come.

Beat him. In order that he love not Satan he must fear the Lord, therefore beat him and save his soul from hellfire.

Not only that the boy was not taught about God, he was also brainwashed hence the useless questions Teach him but most importantly pray for him. God has his way of teaching such soul. You don't need to intervene on God's behalf.

In civilized climes, especially for a lousy reason such as religious indoctrictination, where the boy comes from, that is called child abuse. Little wonder Nigeria so backward.

I don't know about you guys, but I do believe the boy should be left alone. Your attitude, behaviour and the relationship you have with God would go a long way convincing that boy about Gods existence and beauty.

Christians behaviour stinks sometime. You're always quick to introduce someone to Church but very reluctant to go the extra mile of meeting the needs of that same person. You see a brother in Church whose dressing is below par, and his shoe is shouting hallelujah, you'd just close your eyes and went ahead donating that tithe and offering to the Church. The guy right there is the Church. Give him the tithe and offering.

Now, going back to the six year old. It's always the sweetest thing when God makes Himself known unto you personally. You become more convinced and your belief in Him will never faint. Same thing happened to. I used to be a sceptic, questioning everything God. But God came to me and taught me love and eternal life. Since then, no matter how difficult the situation I find myself, my trust in God never waiver.

And as long as the boy is surrounded by true Christians who live by what they preach, the boy will in no doubt emulate such people. So, don't force him. Let him be a free thinker for now. Let him learn. He will surely come around. Amen

The fact that you can't comfortably explain to a SIX year old kid that there are things that are unfathomable to the human mind, and can only be fully accepted with the help of the Holy Spirit, entails that you need help yourself.
YES! The Holy Spirit.

Any atheist that believes in science definitely believes in the conscious, subconscious and unconscious realms of humans.
Conscious: Awake
Subconscious: Dream (whether daydreaming, zoning or asleep)
Unconscious: Coma, Dead
The fact that a conscious person can slip into subconsciousness or unconsciousness means definitely there is a spirit in him and if there is a spirit in every individual, why can't there be a Holy Spirit telling the spirit in humans (which science call conscience) what to do or not?
With the help of the Holy Spirit and the Bible (written by prophets, apostles and disciples with the inspiration of the Holy Spirit), you'll be able to explain to that kid, any kid and adult alike that there are things that can't be explained by humans.

Any atheist or free thinker who doubt the existence of the spirit realm should watch and read the documentaries of Cris Angel.

@coolebux I just need practical example to give him.. I need something he can relate to that God exists

First of all, you don't need the bible, koran, torah or any of the other holy books to explain God to anybody.

There're simple example you could use.

Example;
1. Tell him his digestive system is a design.
2. His urinary system is a design.
3. His circulatory system is a design.
4. His respiratory system is a design.

Make him understand the fact he eats and defaecate from the anus shows someone must have designed it that way.

Tell him the fact he drinks water and urinates from his penis shows someone must have designed it to work that way.

Just use similar things. But, if he doesn't understand then leave him alone, because I strongly believe its up to each and everyone to discoverver God for themselves.

We were all born freethinkers.



Inquistiveness is a part of children; they wonder, they ask questions; foolishy framed perhaps; or sometimes down right nonsensical but they make up for it in zeal.



Unfortunately; the inquistiveness is either beaten out; threatened or blackmailed out of us.



Most kids in the age range of 6 are usually so scared of Hell fire.




Believe me; I know the experience.

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

Your six year old brother is just being cautious.

You said you tried to explain the concept of God to your 6 yr old brother and he is having difficulty understanding you, can you do us a favour and explain your own concept of god to us.
You said you tried using nature to explain your concept of God but it seems that examples fall far short of explaining God. How do you tie flowers, birds and sea to God? It is obvious the flower you see today was created when its parents seed fell to the ground, germinated and grew as a result of nourishment from the soil and sun, how does god come in the creation of that flower. Same for that bird, the patents had sex and it resulted in an egg, which went on to hatch and grow into another bird, where do you fit in your God in this. The seas were formed when hydrogen and oxygen combined to form water in the early earth, and the resulting water fell to the earth to fill crevices on the earth's surface. How did god fit in the creation of the seas. Your 6 yr old brother seems to understand the workings of nature far more than you do. You talk like bronze age men who attribute every natural phenomena to a god.

I wish you success as you whip your brother into your line of thinking. I believe he'll see the fear, especially of hell fire, you'll ram down his throat and recant.

The brain is gradually evolving away from the concept of God as you Christians want to believe exist. Check other children of your half brother's age; they use computers beyond comprehension, they reason like adults. They are the generation that will finally put a nail on the lie called religion. (Excluding your brother, please, before you come for my head.)

Included in your design are diseases like cancer, hepatitis, poliomyelitis, HIV/AIDS, schizophrenia etc. The design also include Africans and parts of Asian people who have lived in poverty and mercy of the elements since the creation of the world.

Or maybe God allowed Satan create all the above because Adam and Eve ate a forbidden fruit (God cannot create bad things, right? But instead of killing the Satan that caused the problem God allowed him to torment mankind for six thousands years).

What a designer.

1. Criss Angel is an illusionist. His tricks aren't real. He said so himself.

2. You said the holy spirit is the 'conscience'. What about African people before the British came? They had no conscience? They're all going to burn in hell? After all, to them, it was the right thing to murder and burn twins as protection from evil. And I'm sure you don't believe the holy spirit told them to do that
