As I have said I am a Catholic and although we are called as Christians to teach the world about Christ I do not feel that includes proving it to anyone. The burden of proof lies on the individual. I can only teach or show what we believe and leave it at that. What do you think? We each must discern things for ourselves.

Thank you! This is actually a post for those who demand we prove our faith.

I am not saying we do not need to find a reason for our beliefs for ourself. That is a given.

what did jesus say, don't cast pearls before swine, which is pretty offensive to the non-christian, but whatever, and then he says take the gospel to all nations,
reading the bible i now know what christians believe, they believe as is taught in romans 1:28-31 that all non christians are murderors, i actually saw an answer to one of my questions yesterday where she said that it is in the nature of the atheist to be a murderor
so, i dont think theres a need to prove your faith to anyone, hopefully the non christian will read as i have and talk to you and other christians, and reject christianity as i have for what it is, a club for bigots

If you could prove God, then there would be no such thing as faith.
Everyone would believe and evil would be dismissed.
Because it is impossible to prove "faith", it is the natural order of things, that you have good and evil. Not just 1 possibility, but many.
It's why no one can prove a creator or disprove a creator.
Edti:
Sorry, don't know what else you want.
I believe in God for many reasons.
Personal experiences, science and research.
Yes, I believe science points towards a creator rather than against one.
But that same science would provide proof. Wich again would defy faith.
I don't really know what you want in an answer, but this is my experience.

I feel the same way. However, I do not believe that Christians of any denomination should be insulted for citing examples from their faith when answering or asking a question because it is a part of enjoying one's freedom. It is not necessary to prove anything.

I don't feel the need to prove myself to others, i feel i should try to help them find The LORD, but i will not explain my beliefs anymore then i have to.

Like I answered earlier to another question the only way one should come to their beliefs is from self-realization; regardless of belief system.

I am a christian, and I feel like I don't have to prove that to anybody.
