Why do you believe what you believe?

Question

You must think you are right or:
1. Why would you keep believing what is wrong or false? or
2. You really do not have much passion or conviction and really don't care if what you believe is wrong or false! or
3. You somehow think you don't believe anything and the question is moot.
Which is it?

Answer 1

You have a very small mind to believe these are the only possible answers to your question.

Answer 2

There is a difference in knowing something because someone told you or because you read it in a book, and knowing something because you lived through it and know it to be true.

We are introduced to God's Word, both by the Bible and testimony from believers. We become believers ourselves by living that truth.

Kind of like when you walk into the kitchen, and your mom says "the stove is hot," and you can see the burner is red. Your mind knows the stove is hot. But you still poke your finger out there anyway, touch the stove, and get burned. Now you REALLY know the stove is hot!

Answer 3

I am persuaded and having been persuaded am convinced and having been convinced was convicted that there is only one Truth and that is to be found in Jesus Christ - which does not answer any of your questions and of which I will not apologize as I have faith grounded and secure that the foundation upon which I stand is eternal and I refuse to be sifting sand that blows where ever the wind dictates.

Answer 4

I believe only when i think it to be right to believe
i never keep believing on what is wrong n if i did so that will be unconscious ... and i feel sorry 4 that
no i feel that world is end now... when i came to know i was beleining some thing wrong
no i believe always

Answer 5

very good question

believing without proof is called as blind belief. and islam is totally against blind beleif

And do not follow (blindly) any information of which you have no (direct) knowledge. (Using your faculties of perception and conception, you must verify it for yourself. (In the Court of your Lord,) you will be held accountable for your hearing, sight, and the faculty of reasoning."[Quran 17:36]

QUran 25:33 And no question do they bring to thee but We reveal to thee the truth and the best explanation (thereof).

We are not suppose to believe on wrong or false. Quran clearly says that truth is clearly evident against false hood

There is no compulsion in the religion; Truth stands out clear from error;
Al-Quran (2:256)


========================

people reject the truths and proofs of islam, because they are not willing to leave their parents way.


When they are told to follow the (Revelation) that has sent down, they say:
nay, we shall follow the ways that we found our fathers (following). What if
it is Satan beckoning them to the Penalty of the (Blazing) Fire?
[Al_Quraan_031.021]
