Christians or Muslims -- Why do you believe in God?

Question

Please don't answer with "because it's the truth" or "because the bible tells me to" or "becuase I have been brainwashed into believing it". Please don't quote scriptures. Please don't say that it's because you go to hell if you don't believe.

Please just give the honest truth why YOU believe, without mentioning any of the above.

THANKS!!

Answer 1

Human being has some need, & there is something to serve his needs outside, for example, you get hungry, so there's food for you to eat,. you ger thirsty; and you can get water outside,......
There is a need for human being that he's not satisfied with anything, whatever you give him he wants more, I call this need, unlimited wanting. What can serve this need of human? Something or someone which is unlimited, and who is that? Just God. if there's no God, mankind can never get satisfied with their life. human being have the sense to worship sth, and he's looking for it everywhere. some people think it's money, job, and so on. but they see no, this is not enough, if they have 1000$ they wanna make it 1000000$, and if they are minister, they wanna become president &.... but never never they feel relaxed except the people who find God. The person who has God has everything, and the one who doesn't have God, has nothig. we believe in God not only for going to heaven, or running away from hell, but also we worship him, since we Do NEED him.
I hope it helps........

Not only Christian or Muslim all over the world who ever believe in GOD by any name of the religion they don't even no is there any god out there or not. But the do believe in god. To my knowledge ancient time people didn't have developed knowledge about the world or science or anything. They were easy to rule or dominate by anyone who make them scare. The persons who make them as a leader or priest are coming into that category. Who ever want those people under their control they create the GOD and Ghost. When the rain or flouts or volcano or any nature diastase's came they couldn't find the real reason. So they create There is something else out there which is not controlled by human power and they named it as god. And they make other people believe if these people don't obey to the leader or the priest the god will get angry and it will destroyed them. That's all. This kind of imagination became in several part with in several culture by different names for religion. According their imagination they gave structure and figure to the god. That's why Hindu gods have more than 2 hands and 3 eyes.

The Old Testament tells us of things to come (Prophecies).
The New Testament tell of the prophecies being fulfilled.
Fro example. One is happening right now.
The Bible tell us about the mark of the "Beast 666." Those who have it when Jesus returns will be left behind.
The Beast of the Apocalypse is already set up in Brussels, Belgium: It is a gigantic computer that makes its own programs. By using 3 entries of six digits each, each citizen all over the world will be given a distinct credit card number. Three entries of 6 digits each, 666. Without these numbers you won't be able to buy or sell anything. It will also serve as a means for identification.
There are agencies that are experimenting with the idea of each of us having identification implants inserted into our arms.
You can research this for yourself by typing in Mark of the Beast.

Also, a prophet saw a vision in Revelations of locusts coming. their wings beat like thunder and their stinger carried the sting of death.
Have you ever looked at the shape of an attack helicopter. It looks like a locust. When flying overhead, its rotor sounds like thunder. Look at the missiles it carries. "Stinger Missiles.
Just something for nonbelievers to think about.

Answer 4

I always believed in God. After getting married and wathcing my kids be born and grow up, my spiritual side increased.

A lot of quiet thought, maybe you could call it meditation, I called it relaxing in my back yard! I don't think we are here by accident.

Having faith is challenging, but living it in this world is darn right hard.

The hard thing for me to believe as an avid partier in the past is that I can still have as much fun as I used to!

Being a Christian is not all about being boring! You can be very spiritual without being outwardly "Churchey" all the time, although we do need to be good examples.

Hope this helps!

Peace!

Answer 5

I believe in God because He is very real in my life. I experience Him every day of my life. I have been saved since I was just 7 years old and I feel Him in my life very strongly. It's hard for me to understand why someone would not believe in Him. If for no other reason in my life, I would say the one defining moment for me would have been the horrible car accident my family and I were in. Our van was completely mangled and we all walked away without life threatening injuries. Even the highway patrol said he couldn't see how we weren't killed. I told him that God was with us as He always is and wasn't ready to take us home yet. So, my only real answer to your question is that I feel Him and have ever since I got saved. He's just always been there.

Answer 6

this is nothing related to religion, but there was a theory that was discussed over a biology class in my college. it was called "intelligent design" theory (i think that's the name)... it was a theory made by scientists that after careful observation and study -- they really cannot point out where the universe originated from. of course, there were theories created such as "the big bang theory" or "the steady state theory" -- but WHERE did all these theories really originate from -- how were they able to prove that the 2 theories i mentioned above are credible?

our existence is something that science can explain how it happened, but cannot explain where it came from. if you think deeply, ask yourself "where are we?", "what place is this?"

try to broaden your mind and be open to any explanations, and not limit your thoughts that there is no creator -- there so many explanations, none proven yet.

i used to NOT believe in religion but i did it for my mom's sake who's very religious -- i do meditate and pray if life gets rough, and surprisingly, prayers are answered.

Answer 7

OK, can u give me one reason why i should not beleive in God.?
anyways my answer is :

have u ever wondered how is it all possible for the Big Bang to occur by itself?
have u ever wondered how is it possible for the world's atmosphere changed gradually over a million years all by itself?
have u ever wondered how is it possible for the first proteomes to have been formed?
have u ever wondered how is it possible for proteomes to give rise to unicellular microbes and then reptiles, arachnids, dinosaurs, birds, amphibians, mammals, mammoth, and everything in the world?
have u ever wondered how the evolution tree came into existence?
have u ever wondered how the miracle of birth (all our births are miracles too) is possible?
have u ever wondered how is it possible for our bodies to be so perfect about each and every biochemical reaction occuring every fraction of a second?
have u ever wondered that how ur heart ticks 74times/sec and how ur body BP is maintained at 80/120.?
have u ever wondered how is it possible for ur body to adapt to every environment, speech, mannerisms and behaviour.

all this could not be possible all by itself. we are too complex to be understood. and even scientists today agree that someone Supreme is above us, who is always watching over each and every one of us. so that means there is someone out there who is making it work.

it cant be man by himself, u may ask me why? becoz embryology is only 40-50 years old, so man has recently developed teachniques like IVF, Artificial insemination, Test-tube baby, Cloning. all this is rescent. and most of all the sciences are not even half way through their sucess. most sciences started since man started evolving, but what about the events before man?

even most of the researches, scientists perform always end up in a question mark. so in that case there is a SUPREME BEING, who is a MASTER-CONTROLLER of everything that is in the world.

ya u will not dobt the existence of Allah/God today and until u live, but what about when u die? where do u think u will escape. u can rot from the eyes of man and dissappear in history of mankind, but u cannot Hide from the Eyes of God.

Answer 8

I just always felt inside my being a connection on a spiritual level. I can't explain it to satisfy someone else,but internally there was always this voice inside myself that I feel guides me daily. Even when I was doing stupid things with my life I just always felt guided.I am not into any particular religion but I am into God and being all that I feel He wants Me to be.

Answer 9

God is the higher power. He created the world, the earth, life. God is who I think about when I need to make big decisions. God is who I pray to and talk to.

Answer 10

Being a christian myself i can honestly tell you that at one point in my life i wondered the exact same thing but honest look around you how do you think everything got here. People have there scientific terms for everything such as we once were monkeys or something like that but even if that was true how do you think they got her. (which i dont believe we once were monkeys) How do you think you have a breath in your body. i know sometimes it feels that God isnt with you and wonder why things happen to you but he does it for reason you may not understand the reason but there is one.
