If I were to tell you that I don't believe in God....?

Question

What would you say or do to try to convince me otherwise, assuming that you had an interest in encouraging others to share in your beliefs.

Answer 1

First, I would ask you what you needed and ask if I could help you with that, then I would ask you to study Answers in Genesis and Creation Research. I would give you Ten Reasons To Believe and do my best to answer your Tough Questions according to what the Bible says because it does not matter what I believe. I would love you with a brotherly/sisterly type love, pray for you and then ask you to look at Who is Jesus. I would ask you what your purpose in life was and if you did not know then I would show you how to discover Your Purpose in Life. Then I would pray for you again and let you know that there are only Two Ways To Live and that it is up to you, you have to make the choice. I would ask you to seriously study the Bible while your read it because it will point you to the Gateway to God. Then I would leave you with some websites to investigate and I would pray for you again and because I cannot convince you of anything I would leave it up to the Third Person of the Trinity because it is only He who can convince men of what they need convincing.

Answer 2

If I will find you as a good person then i would like to convince you by giving you a flower and saying that, you can't see the fragrance but still you know that it is there in the flower likewise you can't see God but when you would truly wish to know Him you will starting feeling Him too.
And it you are some hard-headed or supid then I would only smile and say yes you must not because there is no such thing.

Answer 3

I am not going to try to convince you of anything; it doesn't matter whether you believe in God or not, He believes in you. I never try to get other people to believe in what I believe in, I just tell you the truth.

So, can you be honest and tell me the truth? Let's put you in a situation; you are walking home one night on a dark street that you are really familiar with, you know everybody on the block and love the neighborhood. A stranger approaches you and before you know it, he tries to stab you with a knife, but you manage to dodge him and run for your life. You get far enough away from him that you find a hiding place in an alley behind a large dumpster, but you can hear him tipping over garbadge cans in anger and he is getting closer. Are you going to sit there and not make a noise or are you going to start praying to this God you do not believe in? An honest answer, no bull, don't lie.

Answer 4

out of order,
I have accepted the fact that God does not want everybody. If you don't want to come to God, He doesn't want you. So if you were to tell me that you didn't believe in God, and you were set upon that, I would not try to change your mind. It's not me that would convert you, but the conversion would take place IF God was leading you to him.

People that are being led ask different questions than those that are not being led. And the urgency in them shows tht they out weight upon the answer I give. Those that are not really interested, put no intellectual weight and feeling into the answer.

Answer 5

I don't encourage others to share my beliefs, but I would encourage you in whatever you believed. I have no proof that I am right and that you are wrong.

Answer 6

well, because of the fact that my belief is that everyone should think for themselves, i do try to encourage others to share in my beliefs.

i wouldnt say anything, but just lead by example. hopefully other people will see me and want to be like me too.

fear tactics never work. saying that im right and youre wrong never works. people believe in something because they want to feel good about themselves and they want others to feel good about them as well, in my opinion.

Answer 7

I wouldn't say anything. I would treat you as if I would treat someone who did believe. You have a right to believe in what you want, I shouldn't have to convince you of anything. Instead, I would repect you the way I would anyone else. I believe in what I believe for my personal benefit, I had to work to find my truth, others should as well.

Answer 8

I would never attempt to change your beliefs; I would make myself available to you if you had spiritual questions we could discuss.
All in all, you will reach your own belief system, whether or not it's the traditional God/Church thing, or maybe Hindu, Buddhist, who knows!
A great site that makes all sorts of beliefs available is;
http://aol.beliefnet.com/
(I don't know why that has aol in it, just go to beliefnet.com LOL

Answer 9

First of all i would not bang my beliefs on anyone. I believe it is a self journey one must travel themselves. I think the more you hound people with your beliefs they are more likely not to listen or take there own journey.

I do believe in god or whomever they are called. There's gotta be someone in charge.

I grew up in a strict roman old catholic family. Since them I have changed to pagan wiccan. For me myself its very to easy understand. The first rule is do no harm. I take that very seriously.

My religion or practice is not for everyone its and individual choice.

Answer 10

find out for yourself by doing some research and truth will speak to you, what can you do to help others? are you going to ask questions all your life or are you going to live with answers? the bible says that you are loved by god with an everlasting love! the book of Jeremiah (31:3)
