Somebody please explain to me how Christianity is logical?

Question

I don't know if I believe in God or not, I'm kind of stuck. I feel guilty even thinking about it, but my whole family believes in God, and I don't know. Somebody tell me they're in that situation too! But someone answer my original questio, too. Now really.

I know that no religion is logical...that's my whole point!

People that are telling me to pray...praying doesn't work, I've prayed countless times to move back to syracuse, but will we EVER? noo...

Answer 1

Christianity isn't logical, it's simply a matter of faith.
I went through that a while ago, and I realized that Christianity just simply wasn't for me. Maybe, you should try out other religions and see how you feel about them. That's more or less what I did and it helped me. I'm now Pagan and much happier than I was when I was christian.

Answer 2

There are a lot of things in Christianity that defy analysis, like many other religions. Some people include the discrepancies in their leap of faith, similar to how followers of other faiths make their own LOF's.
However, some discrepancies are serious. Why do modern Christians worship Jesus in ways that the disciples never did? Where did so many disparate rites originate? On whose orders or initiatives? Who decided there would be popes? Why are there so many different versions of the Bible?
One Christian's lengthy struggle with these issues, and his attempts to get closer to the original mission and message of Jesus makes for interesting reading at www.jesusthemuslim.com

Answer 3

Christians are often accused of having “blind faith.” Is faith reasonable, and how are faith and reason related? The CRI Perspective in a moment.

Biblical faith is not a blind faith but is, in fact, faith in evidence. First of all, the Bible is very clear that faith is based on truth. God’s Word is Truth (John 17:17), and God cannot lie, or contradict this Truth (Titus 1:2). Thus, the whole Bible presupposes the validity of reason.

The Bible also presents reasons for faith, or evidences supporting its truth-claims. For example, Paul sets forth a list of people who saw Jesus Christ after His resurrection to remind the Corinthians that the resurrection was a proven fact (1 Cor. 15:3-8). In the Old Testament the prophets and psalmists frequently pointed to the impotence of idols as evidence that the gods of the nations were, in fact, false gods. And throughout the Bible the fulfillment of prophecy is emphasized as proof of the true God’s sovereign control over the universe.

To say that faith is reasonable is not, however, to assert that faith must submit to the dictates of fallen man’s anti-Christian reasonings. When skeptics rule out the miraculous as impossible or as unthinkable, for example, they may be using their intellects but they are not being truly reasonable. Non-Christians naturally reason in sinful, unbelieving ways. In fact, a Christian is someone who has had their thinking transformed according to the power of God (Rom. 12:1-2; Eph. 4:17-24). And God often uses evidence and sound reasoning, through the witness of well-taught Christians, to break through the unbelieving mind-set of skeptics and turn their hearts and minds to the Truth.

In short, faith is, indeed, reasonable and there is no conflict between faith and reason for Christians. But non-Christians will rationalize their unbelief until God’s Holy Spirit, often working through sound apologetic arguments, opens their minds to see the Truth of the Gospel. Truly, the heart can only rejoice on what the mind comprehends.

Answer 5

I really don't think that there is logic to Christianity. I know what it is like to have your entire family Christian and you aren't sure you want to be a Christian. I was brought up Catholic and I was a Christian. I just couldn't relate to Christianity. I am now Kemetic Orthodoxy and everyone else is a Christian. I don't mind though. I still get a lot of Christian stuff from them but I just take it with a grain of salt and go about my business.

Answer 6

It is not logical if you don't understand it. There are mysteries about it but those mysteries and misconceptions were created by man not by God. The Bible has been changed by man therefore the real truth is unknown but there are still truths there just the same. You must understand that all positive paths lead to God. Hope that helps. That is how my sister puts it when I have my weak moments. God is real. I have found that you have to teach yourself about God by studying the Bible for yourself.

Answer 7

I do believe that Christianity is logical, but the question is really quite broad. I'd love you help you out more if you have some more specific questions. I would gladly do some research and answer your questions the best I can.

Much Love.

Answer 8

This is a trick question, Right?
As for the second part of the question you can believe in God without believing in all of the nonsense the christians have to say about Her.

Answer 9

Christianity is logical and rational.

If you think Christianity is not logical feel free to email me and let me know what part of Christianity is not...

I used to be an atheist. Over a period of time however, I grew convinced of the existence of the Christian God, and ultimately committed my life to Christ (e.g., see http://www.godsci.org/gs/chri/testimony/seek.html ).

Cordially,
John
