Christians please help...?

Question

i am doubting God's existance, what can i do to prove to myself that he exists?? please help me.

Answer 1

Go to a quite place and read the Bible. Pray for understanding and you will receive it. Christ performed miracles to show that he was the son of God. Now, living in our time, it is by FAITH that we believe and it is by faith that we are saved.
Struggling Christians are often besieged by Satan to not believe, as are life long Christians.
Ignore the rantings of the ones who are cruel to you because of your faith. For they will answer to someone who they will cower before, eventually. There is nothing you can say to change their minds and just treat them with the kindness that God would want you to.
Also, you might join a study group.. There is wonderful support there. Remember.. Church is a building.. The Bible says 'When two or more are gathered together in my (Christ's) name, I AM with you!'
God is VERY real.. Pray and trust your heart, because you are one of God's little sheep and he will protect you.
God Bless!

Answer 2

First, look into a mirror. Only intelligent design by a great creator could have made you the way you are...perfectly made. Second, look out the window. Only God could create a universe, stars, and planets that are so distinctly placed and purposely turned on an axis in order to make everything go perfectly. Thirdly, check nature, look at a newborn baby, see all around you---and read your Bible with a prayerful heart. There is much that proves God. There is nothing to disprove him.

Answer 3

I can give you a complex answer or an simple answer. But first let me suggest a simple book to read to help you understand.

Go to any library and pick up the book; "More than a Carpenter" by former atheist Josh McDowell. It is about 80 pages but it will make you think and you will become stronger in the faith.

Stay away from the occult. I been looking over your questions... why go to something counterfeit when you got the real thing with God?

Ok I am pasting this for you but it was directed at atheists in general. Hope this helps you think as well.

Billions of years ago, a big bang produced a large rock. As the rock cooled, sweet brown liquid formed on it's surface. As time passed, aluminum formed itself into a can, a lid, and a tab. Millions of years later, red and white paint fell from the sky and formed itself into the words "Coca Cola... 12 fluid ounces."

Of course my theory is an insult to your intellect, because you know that if the Coca Cola can is made, there must be a maker. If it is designed, there must be a designer. The alternative, that it happened by chance or accident is to move from the intellectual free zone.



Here is another:

"The Banana: The Atheist Nightmare"

Note that the banana...

1. is shaped for the human hand.

2. has a non-slip surface.

3. Has outward indicators of it's inward contents. Green - too early, yellow - just right, black - too late.

4. Has a tab for removal of it's wrapper.

5. Is perforated on wrapper.

6. Has a bio-degradable wrapper.

7. Is shaped for the human mouth.

8. Has a point at the top for ease of entry.

9. Is pleasing to the taste buds.

10. Is curved towards the face to make the eating process easy.

To write that the banana happened by accident is even more unintelligent than to write that no one designed the Coca Cola can.

Test 1.

The person who thinks the Coca Cola can has no designer is:

A. Intelligent

B. A fool

C. Has an ulterior motive for denying the obvious

Now the document that I am referring from states that the eye has 40,000,000 nerve endings and focuses it's muscles approximately 100,000 times a day. and that the eye has a retina that contains approximately 137,000,000 light sensitive cells.

The document continues and states that Charles Darwin stated:

"To suppose that the eye could have been formed by natural selection, seems I freely confess, absurd in the highest degree" Agreed... it does not have the reference recorded so I do not know if this statement is true or false. But let me get to the point at hand.

If man can not create the human eye then how can anyone in their right mind believe that it was created by chance? In fact... man can't create anything from nothing... we just do not know how to do it. We can re-create, reform, develop... but we can not create one grain of sand from nothing. Yet the human eye... is a mere tiny part of the most sophisticated part of creation - the human body.

Again... another statement which I would have to research and verify if this person actually made this comment:

"George Gallup; "If I could prove God statistically; take the human body alone; the chance that all the functions of the individual would just happen, is a statistical monstrosity."

Now this statement concerning Albert Einstein. This is confusing... why would this man contradict himself? If he stated this... then every other statement that has been quoted at this forum is invalid because the man appears to be speaking from both sides of his mouth. In this statement Einstein is quoted to have said:

"Everyone who is seriously interested in the pursuit of science becomes convinced that a spirit is manifest in the laws of the universe - a spirit vastly superior to man, and one in the face of our modest powers must feel humble."

Test 2:

1. Do you know any building that did not have a builder? Yes? No?

2. Do you know any painting that did not have a painter? Yes? No?

3. Do you know any car that did not have a maker? Yes? No?

If you answered "Yes" to any of those statements... please give details:______________________...



Third analogy:

Could I convince you that I dropped 50 oranges onto the ground and then by chance fell into ten rows of five oranges? Logically, anyone with an intelligent mind might conclude that someone put them there. The odds that ten oranges would fall into a straight line is mind boggling. Let alone ten rows of five.

Test 3

Yes or No 1. From the atom to the universe is there order?

Yes or No 2. Did it happen by accident or must there been an intelligent mind?

3. What are the odds of 50 oranges falling by chance into ten rows of five oranges? ______________________________...

To declare that there is no God is to make an absolute statement. And for an absolute statement to be true; one must have absolute knowledge. Here is another such statement: "There is no gold in China."

Test 4 What would I need to have for that statement to be true?

A. No knowledge of China?

B. Partial knowledge of China?

C. Absolute knowledge of China?

"C" is the correct answer. In order for the statement to be true, I must know that there is no gold in China.

Likewise; to state that there is no God and to be correct then you are stating that you are omniscient. You must have absolutely certain knowledge that there isn't one.

Let's say that a circle contains all the knowledge of the universe. And let's say that you have an incredible understanding of one percent of all that knowledge. Is it possible that the knowledge you haven't yet come across, that there might be ample evidence to prove that God does indeed exist?

If you are reasonable, you would have to admit, "Having the limited knowledge I have at present, I believe that there is no God." In other words, you don't know if God exists, so you are not an atheist. You are an "agnostic." You are like a person that looks at a building and doesn't seem to know if there is a builder.

Test 5 The man who sees a building and doesn't know if there is a builder is:

A. Intelligent

B. A fool

C. Has an ulterior motive

In summary: There are plenty of things that we have faith in that we do not fully understand. Most of us do not have a complete understanding that when you turned your computer on as to why it worked. You took a step of faith that turning it on... that somehow that it would work. You accept the unseen electrical waves that appear right in front of your eyes when you type your comments here. We do not see the reason for why the messages appear... because the powers that be are invisible to the naked eye. For them to be manifest, we need a monitor... so we can enjoy the experience of this forum.

God is not flesh and blood; He is an eternal Spirit. Immortal and invisible... like the computer waves. He can can not be experienced unless the monitor is turned on. One should approach the Bible in the same way as the monitor. If it works, enjoy it and if it doesn't, forget it.

Or do you have an ulterior motive? Could it be that the "atheist" can't find God... as a thief can't find the policeman? Could it be that your logic is clouding your good judgment?

Answer 4

Dear one,

What has caused you to doubt?

What caused you to believe in the first place?

The truth of God's existence is written in everything you see, in the stars, the mountains, the sea.

There are logical arguments for God's existence, but they only satisfy the head, not the heart.

You are not alone. It's ok to doubt, it's a good time to retrace your steps of faith. Ask yourself what you believe what you believe, and test what you believe to be true against the Scriptures and your experience.

Answer 5

Just start by trying to believe and have just a seed of faith. Look at your self and ask am I just a freak of nature? then go to your favorite animal and do the same, walk out side and look around, all these things tell me that it is not just a freak of nature but has a grand design. We are on this earth as a test to find out who's plan we will follow Gods with faith in Jesus Christ, or the devil and his followers. Gods we will have our freedom, with the Devil we will be his subjects and live as slaves. Their must be rules set up to where neither gets an unfair advantage and we must chose by our actions and to some extant beliefs. As with all plans the better choice you make the more reward you will be handed. You don't have to be perfect but you do get rewarded for trying both on this earth and in heaven by the peace you have in your heart and the kingdom in heaven. But you will get no sign until after you have faith in the lord, after that you may have many miracles shown to you.

Answer 6

You don't have to prove it to yourself let God prove it to you. I invite you to study the scriptures and to talk to God as friend that He will show you that He exists and cares for you. One of the greatest tricks of the devil is to try and decieve people into believing that he doesn't exist and thus God doesn't exist then. Or that God is wicked and unmerciful. Bible prophecies are rapidly fulfilling and we should be grounded firm in Christ through ernest study and prayer that the deceptions of the devil do not decieve us.

All humanity is now involved in a great controversy between Christ and Satan regarding the character of God, His law, and His sovereignty over the universe. This conflict originated in heaven when a created being, endowed with freedom of choice, in self-exaltation became Satan, God's adversary, and led into rebellion a portion of the angels. He introduced the spirit of rebellion into this world when he led Adam and Eve into sin. This human sin resulted in the distortion of the image of God in humanity, the disordering of the created world, and its eventual devastation at the time of the worldwide flood. Observed by the whole creation, this world became the arena of the universal conflict, out of which the God of love will ultimately be vindicated. To assist His people in this controversy, Christ sends the Holy Spirit and the loyal angels to guide, protect, and sustain them in the way of salvation. (Rev. 12:4-9; Isa. 14:12-14; Eze. 28:12-18; Gen. 3; Rom. 1:19-32; 5:12-21; 8:19-22; Gen. 6-8; 2 Peter 3:6; 1 Cor. 4:9; Heb. 1:14.)

Answer 7

If you are a Christian, it is healthy to examine yourself and see if you are in the faith. Once you have repented of all sin (see Psalm 51, 1 John 1:9), don't doubt God's promises. Doubt produces fear. It is also a great insult to God--if I don't trust you, it means I think you are a liar.

Here's a recipe for success:

* Read your Bible every day . . . without fail. Every day. Value the Word more important than your food (see Psalm One).
* Obey what you read.
* Develop a tender conscience.
* Never doubt any of God's promises.
* Obey the Great Commission by sharing your faith (see John 14:21).

If you aren't a Christian, but you think that is where you would like to be heading, then you need to put your trust in God, acknowledge that you are a sinner, God will reveal himself to you.

Answer 8

The Bible says, proof of God's existance is in creation. Meaning, take a look at everything not man made. Also, it might help to read of the love of the Father & of the Son

Answer 9

I think many Christians have doubts at some point or another, but just look around you....look at small babies and how their little bodies work....look at how well the world works (maybe not the societies, but the actual world system)...the grass, the clouds, the smallest insects....Look at the everyday miracles....And just imagine....A human being was made for a purpose...if we weren't made for a purpose than we would not need to be built so perfectly functional....HANG IN THERE....and, honestly, some of the best help may be Prayer and meditation.

Answer 10

Look around you. Think about the things you see. You may see a brown cow eating green grass. So how does she produce white milk from that? You see clouds in the sky. They may carry rain or snow. Who orders their cargo and where to drop it off? Who shapes the leaves of the grass and makes each one perfect? You need only to look around you. God can be seen everywhere. As the Bible says, "They have no excuse."

Answer 11

God will prove His existence to you. Pray and He will give you a sign.
