Is it not ridiculously convenient for the "Bible" to say `believe' although you can't have physical proof?

Question

I mean seriously...You can't see "Jesus," you can't talk to him...etc. And don't say "we pray to him" because thats not talking to him, that's just you talking to yourself. Secondly, don't you go to hell if you don't believe? What happens to the billions in Asia who are Hindus, Buddhists, etc? And lastly, if "God's" love is so important...how come you need to be told he loves you...wouldn't you just "feel" it? Get ready for the brainwashed Christain answers...

Answer 1

1) Jesus has never talked to me, but I have surely talked to Him (through my prayers and thoughts). I never subscribed to the idea of "heavenly conversations", but that's a matter of faith.
2) You will not go to Hell if you don't believe. Believing is a comfort aid, nothing more; it helps you to be at peace with your life and the world around you. Even believers can be sent to Hell, you know. You will go to Hell if you deserve to go to Hell and that's the beginning and end of that. You won't if you don't.
3) Your mother loved you from the second you was born. It covered you like a blanket. But, it always made you feel better when she told you. It made you feel...important. Same deal with God's love.

Hope that helps.

Answer 2

Well the brainwashed christians ain't gonna tell you the truth they are gonna tell you what their brainwashed minds are made to beleive so it is not really the right thing. I would say to you the
the christians are not real people or people to believe anything on their own so anything they say is coming from a brainwashed mind.
I myself beleive we get what we do what we live and how we beleive in our hearts' that is the real temple of god and the real love of god. You can set those guidelines or others from another culture or another friend or persons belief's all thrown in a skillet and cooked together. I would say believe in what you feel could and what you have seen. I have now not seen him or heard him
but I have felt his pure love. He has had to have had a hand in my life now by saving me from a car wreck that you would think how did you walk out of that alive. Over a dozen people and friends, people that don't even know me. So believe what you want honey, there ain't anyone can tell you are wrong. Go out and ask some questions and you will find the answers were right in front of you the whole time and after that I' won't need to tell you the answer you can tell someone else.

Answer 3

An example:

Under the sea a submarine captain in a vessel with no windows knows that an enemy sub is nearby. By what evidence? though he does not see it, he has detected it by the mark it made in the water as it traveled.

If there is a God who refuses to be detected physically, because if so it would be as easy to counterfeit him, then what mark would he leave if he revealed himself to people?

If someone has really encountered an otherwise undetectable God, what change would come of it? Hmm. Hs there evidence that this has happened?

And what evidence would you consider valid and incontrivertible?

Jesus said that even if someone you knew was raised from the dead and came back to warn you that to deny Christ is to reap hellfire, that even then...even with that much proof...you would not believe.

And in fact, one did return, and you still do not believe.

Isn't it true then, that you absolutely will not believe, even if god stands before you and reveals himself every day in all that he does?

Answer 4

I will not sit here and "brainwash you". If you really want the answer to your question you will have to look for it and read it for yourself to believe it. I would hope that you come to see the truth before the return of christ, by then it will be to late. There are links for evidence tht Jesus was real and there are websites that show that hell is real. You can't have physical proof for everything or else life would be to easy and we wouldn't have any faith to believe in anything in life no matter what it was.

Answer 5

Brainwashed people give statements and opinions about subjects they know nothing about. so unless you have great knowledge of the Bible - your questions have been brainwashed by satan who rules your life - whether you want him to or not.

So, like you always know who loves you and who doesn't because you just "feel it" - they never have to say a word to you, no one ever has to say they like you or are your friend because you can "feel" the emotions of everyone on earth when you meet them? You are certainly special in this.


"Believe" when you go to the store and buy something - you BELIEVE that the product in side is the same as the label says.
"Believe" when you go to a gas station you BELIEVE that clean gas will come out of the pump.
"Believe" when you turn on your foscet you BELIEVE that the water that comes out is free of bacteria and other harmful things.

Your whole life is based on believing - its just a matter of what

So when you read the Bible (like the labels on the food you eat, the gas you buy and the water your drink) you should not have a hard time believing what it says about God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit. Especially since it seems you just believe everything you read and everything everyone has told you so far, you don't have to find out for yourself, just parrot useless unnknowledge and questions that are only meant to hurt other people. Nice Brainwashing already you have.

You choose to believe what you want to - or act like you believe something because you don't want your friends to make fun of you and what you really believe!

When you accept the fact that God is GOD and you are not and never will be, and you accept Jesus as your Lord and Savior, ask forgiveness for your sins and acknowledge that Jesus is the Son of God, then Jesus will come to live in your heart, and also the Holy Spirit, the power that raised Jesus from the dead, will also come to live inside you. This is a spiritual fact, and cannot be physically discerned.
God hears your prayers, praying is only talking to God or Jesus, and does not have to be formal, elaborate or knowledgeable. If you said to God "Help me out of this mess I am in" and were sincere, God would answer you yes, no or wait. When prayer is answered it is not as we dictated the solution - but as God wills - God is not a vending machine!!!

God, like parents, has made rules. When you break the rules in your house there are consequences. When you break Gods rules, there are also consequences. You can get to heaven two ways, to obey all 10 commandments your whole life, not ever breaking one -(by the way does your brainwashed brain know what they are, even do you have that much knowledge?) or accept Jesus as your savior, at which point you will know that God is right and if we disagree with Him, we are always wrong.

God does not reveal every tiny detail of everything and if He was a God we could understand, He would not be much of a God, he would be stupid like earthlings.

I suggest you find a Calvary Chapel near you (because they are non denominational and teach the Bible) and find out what the Bible really says and who God is before you go making wrong assumptions about a subject you know nothing about. Before you reject God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit, find out who they really are, then if you sitll don't like them - choose not to go to heaven for etrnity and spend it elswhere.

Answer 6

I am a catholic Christian and in my opinion you are right it has been vary convenient for the religious movement, it has brought in billions of dollars over the years by convincing people to believe in hear say, I'm sorry but a lot of Christians today lack a lot of common sense and logic, I believe vary strongly that is not what God the father wanted to happen, man made all this up for his convenience not Gods.

Answer 7

I mean seriously, you can't see the air, but you're breathing it.
You don't see the love of the people who love you, but you believe in it. You do not see your heart beating, but it does just that. How come it beats? How come your lungs know what to do with the air it breaths? How come people are so smart that they can analyze everything and "know everything" about the human body, but still can't put together a working model? It should be relatively easy with all the knowledge they have. Why don't you start questioning that?

God does not force himself on you does He? So why bother Him? Or the ones who believe in Him?

Answer 8

Get ready for brainwashed answers? Your spewing all this hate and building a dam to protect yourself from the backlash. You mock things you don't understand and then want protection for it? If you cannot accept that Jesus loves you and payed the ultimate price to cleanse you from sin and give you eternal hope, then go on with your life, be a good little whatever somewhere else, but when you sit in a religion chat and slander others it shows a baseness and hatred that is completely pathetic and disgusting.

Answer 10

I'm a deist, no longer believing in ancient texts, and I see the evidence of the Creator in the existence of life and matter. I am no longer afraid of dying because I realize the world does not revolve around me, it revolves around our star, and our star revolves around a galactic core which might be a black hole, and between now and the end of time there will still be other people who live their lives like I do. I am one cluster of particles in a magnificent sea of other particles and when I die my particles will still remain in some form or another.

So what is death, really? Nothing compared to the grandness of the universe.

That is why I am a deist.

I no longer seek salvation but instead I am forever thankful for being alive.
