Answer 1

Please read my words carefully:
If you see footmark in the sand, you'll say that someone passed from here...
If you see a piece of dog sh*t on the ground, you'll say that a dog passed from here...
So what about the enormous universe, the sky, stars, planets, earth and all the beauty in it, doesn't it lead to that someone made it?!!!

Some people say that everything is created by itself after the big-bang... I won't ask you about what caused the big-bang, but I'll ask you a simple question:
If you take all the letters of the alphabet, multiples of them, and you threw them randomly on the floor. Do you expect (by a chance of one in infinity) to get a poem like shakespear's??!!

Can't you see how organized our universe is, the planets, the eco-system on earth, look even in your own body... Can you control your heart-beat? Can you control your breath while you're sleeping? Who stopped your eye-lashes from growing after reaching a certain length? Who told the baby turtles to move towards the sea and not to the earth after they come out of their eggs? Who taught the bird how to make nests?

My friend, think with your heart and brain. If you're still lost, think about the following:

Do you know how to play safe?
Your point:
If there's no God and you do all what you want in life, then nothing will happen to you after life. But if there was God and you were mistaken, then you'll blame yourself FOREVER...

Believer's point:
If there's God and I followed His commands in life, then I'll be in Heaven after life FOREVER. But if there was no God and we're mistaken, then nothing bad will happen to us after life...

Now you know how to play-safe, in case you're not convinced?

Answer 2

It took a long time for me to truly seek God.

Viet Nam was my first recognized encounter.

Pinned down with bullets all around me , I remember trying to pray. I didn't know how. Even though I was not hit that time , My rifle and front sight took hits as did my friends.

Later that month , I was shot in the chest. Big bump, no hole. I did not yet know the Christ.

Back in the States, out of danger, I let him go.

14 years later I had a relationship with a woman from a cult, I didn't know much , but I knew she was wrong. I had an Epiphany and began to seek.

My life turned around . My illusion of happiness became real happiness. My walk some 27 years later , Is still growing. My love continues to grow as well.

I look forward to eternity with my undeserved salvation, under the blood of the Christ as my savior

Answer 3

I was born in communist country where any religion was prohibited & forbidden. Raised by non religeous parents.
In 2001 I was diagnosed with ALS (MND) - degenerative terminal illness with no cure & given 1-3 years of life - in a wheelchair, not able to speak, swallow, walk etc., etc. My child was only 7 yo. Night & day I start talking to God & saying aloud endlesly "In Jesus name I'm healed", "By his wound I'm healed". I start going to the Spiritual healing centre Casa De Dom Ignacio in Abadiania, Brazil. I was told :In Jesus name you're healed. My walking frame was taken away from me & I was told to walk 2 km without it. The miracle happen & I did the imposible - walked unaided for 2 km.
Currently I do not have that dreadful illness any more, I'm mobile & healthy. I'm very grateful for my miracolous healing. Most of the time when I walk I keep saying The Lord's Prayer.

During my healing I had first hand uniquie & unexaptable by sceptics & modern science experiences. However I do not need any explanation. I have kept them deep inside my heart.

Blessings!

Answer 4

I believe in God for several reasons.

My first reason is that it is well known that scientific laws exist. What laws govern these laws? What laws govern the laws that govern the laws? I'm sure you get the point. Eventually, we will get an infinite number of laws governing other laws. Instead of getting into that, I believe God governs these laws. He governs the laws of logic, reason, science, and mathematics.

Secondly, I feel God in my life. I was once an atheist, but God tugged at my heart and I felt drawn to Him. No matter how hard I tried to dismiss this feeling as the workings of my mind, but I soon figured out that it was so much more than this: God.

Answer 5

Absolutely!!! One the main reasons that I believe in God is, The feeling that a person has in their heart at special times, like at the time a woman and man share the birth of their child. The times that you just escaped death, Or the time that you accept your own death, How else could a person not believe in a higher power

Answer 6

I believe in god. I know that it may seem hard to because of all the bad things that have happend. but there are also a lot of good things. I started going to church on my own. and I found that it made me feel less pressure, I mean it could be physiological but it also could be god. somthing happend last year, and I went into the church and asked for forgiveness and a few days after even my mom was willing to understand the situation. im not sure thats the anwser you were looking for. but its all I got.

Answer 7

I grew up very skeptical. When I was 16, my Dad put me in a rehab program in another state. The following morning, I asked G-d to reveal Himself to me.
Much to my surprise, He did! I "saw" pictures in my mind that opened me up to believing G-d was real. Since that time, I have had many, many encounters with the spirit realm. Not all these experiences have been positive, but they have taught me that the spirit realm is real.
I have, as a result of these experiences, turned to Scripture to understand these experiences. I have come to see that Scripture is Truth, & G-d is as He is revealed by Scripture.

Answer 8

No, I don't believe in any gods, including the Christian god named God.

I was raised a Lutheran. As I got older, I actually looked into what my beliefs are, what Christianity and other beliefs are, and the nature of belief, itself. I have talked to many religious people and discussed a wide variety of beliefs.

Now I've been an atheist for over 20 years. If you want a more detailed answer, check out Richard Dawkins' new book, "The God Delusion".

Answer 9

I believe in God because I see the creation and I find it something to marvel at every day.

I believe in God because I have had answered prayers.

I believe in God because He brought me out of a horrible depression onto solid ground and into light.

I believe in God because I went through horrific child abuse, and He has delivered me from the effects of all of it and caused me to be able to help other people because of what I have been through.

I believe in God because of the miracle of childbirth...when I look into the eyes of a child and see their beauty and their absolute faith...I know that God must exist.

I believe in God because I see the evidence of His love in the lives of so many wonderful people.

I believe in God because I believe that love heals...and God is love.

I believe in God because I have experienced miracles of compassion, healing and deliverance in my own life and in the lives of many others.

I believe in God because I have been sober twenty one years one day at a time...and that is a huge miracle, since I was an alcoholic for the twenty years prior to that. He has also delivered me from smoking and from compulsive eating.

I could go on and on and on...but you get the picture....

Answer 10

I believe in God. He has manifested Himself in my life. I am no longer a drunk or drug addict; I don't steal; I don't lie; I don't use people for my own personal gain; I don't show others how to stick a needle in their arm; I don't sleep with every guy who walks around the corner; I don't sell drugs anymore; I don't buy liquor for minors; I don't feel guilty or ashamed. I don't have low self-esteem. I am a new woman of God. It's awesome!

God saved my life by allowing me to go to prison and suffer the consequences of my actions. He loved me thru every single day in there. He used me to share with the young girls (18-20). I was able to comfort them with God's love. And now I've been out for 7 years and my life is completely, totally different!
God Answers Prayers!

What I do do is share the love of God. I spread the Word. I help others to come to know God for themselves. I serve others to glorify Him. I am forgiven. It is a long list. But one thing I do know...I am unworthy of the gifts of his mercy and his grace. I exalt His holy name, and I worship Him. He is my salvation! I try to live my live as He would have me do to honor and glorify Him.

I love you, God.
