i know that there is only one God because i have seen Him work in my life in ways that no one or nothing else could possibly do. God is amazing and you just have faith that he is real, he can change your life. do you believe in creation? if so then you must realize how amazing God really is to create such a complex world! He can do anything! i know that God is real because i see it when i look around me.

If God did not exist ... you would not be asking this question ... for you would not have been here in this world! We all Human Beings are the result of a creation of God, the Almighty Creator.
It is but true that the Cosmos is also beginning less. Both the statements cannot be true ... yet, it is the truth. If we say the glass is half full ... we are right and if we say the glass is half empty ... we are still right! Why do we say that the cosmic system is without a beginning ... it is because when we try to visualize the boundary of the Cosmos it does not seem to exist ... and if we say it does exist then what beyond. If we say that God exists ... then also it is wrong because there must be someone who created God. We need to understand the total concept of Cosmos in its entirety.
First of all we need to understand that the form of God is Nirakaar (without a form) ... it is never Sakaar (having a form). God, the omnipotent Creator is a form of energy ... and energy that is beyond the comprehension of a normal human being. Only when one realizes God can one visualize the power we know as God.
Literally speaking ... the definition of God is thus, "the combined power of all the Atmans souls in the Cosmos in their purified state is what we know as God". At the time of Big Bang and also at the time of pralaya as we call it in Hinduism ... the period when the dissolution of the Cosmos occurs ... in both the stages of the Cosmos ... the beginning and also the end of the Cosmos ... the size of God is but half the size of a thumb ... this means that all the Atmans souls in their purified state combine together to form the size of only half a thumb ... this has been the stated in the Bhagavad Gita by Lord Krishna. This is an irrefutable fact ... none can deny the efficacy of this. It is absolute truth.
So much power contained in so less a size ... the energy cannot contain itself even for a fraction ... the moment the complete dissolution of the Cosmos occurs ... it again explodes with a Big Bang ... and starts another Cosmos ... a new Cosmos. All Atmans which are initially in the purified state get scattered all over the Cosmos ... this journey continues for millions and billions of years ... comes a stage when the Cosmos ... the cosmic gases cool down to form galaxies and stars and subsequently solar systems and the planets. It is only when earth type of planets gets created which is conducive for an Atman the soul within to manifest ... does life form starts developing. In the real meaning a live Cosmos now the starts to live and breathe. Until the first life form manifests ... it was a dead Cosmos without life.
For an Atman soul to manifest ... it needs a body ... the body can be of an insect, a plant, animal and human being. But, the complete cosmic system is governed by the theory of evolution ... it is not that an Atman can manifest the body of a plant in its first manifestation ... it initially starts as an amoeba (single cell formation) subsequently it evolves into a two cell formation ... a Jiva (living being) and then a multi-cell formation. Subsequently as cosmic life progresses it evolutes into a plant. This plant evolves into an animal and the animal finally evolves into a human being.

The creation of everything you see should be plenty of proof. It take more faith to believe that we just happened out of evolution than it does that we were created by God. How would you explain the bible being written over thousands of years and yet no contradiction found in it? The bible is the only writings other than the Torah which is most of the old testament that mentions love. This could not possibly be hell because its not hot enough. The only way you will have hope is if you want it. You can hope for all kinds of things but you better hope for the right things.

Back when Jews were a tribe, they carried
god in a box on two poles. They called this
box an Ark or Covenant. When they fought
opposing tribes, this god was on their side.
The story goes that if any man touched the
Ark, he would die instantly. And, scriptures
claim this did happen on one occasion. The
box was about to fall. A Jew grabbed the
sliding Ark, and died on the spot.
One night, an enemy tribe stole the Ark to
have god on their side. They touched the
box. Poked the box. Opened the box.
Nothing happened. No one died.
Conclusion? The only power any superstition
holds, is our belief in it.
Today, people still seek to put God in a box.
Religions put God in a designated temple.
Atheists confine God to a box by declaring
there is no God.
Still, life continues to bloom like so many
roses amid the thorns. Invisible forces
govern complex genetics from the tiny flea
to the giant star. And God remains the
promise of tomorrow. A day we have never
seen before. And that promise extends to all,
the believer and the non-believer alike.
Such is Utopia.

"i myself have lost hope...and maybe someone can convince me or something"
I am sorry to hear that you've lost hope. And believe me when I tell you that you do not need to be convinced of anything. Everything you need is inside you, just being human, and having this truly miraculous thing called "consciousness."
Let me make a suggestion that might help you in more than this. Go out and rent, "What the Bleep do we Know." It's an amazing movie that details Quantum Physics in a way that anyone can understand and applies this science to our every day reality. If you open your mind to it, you will discover that divine spark in you, your consciousness, means that you are the creator of your own reality.
Rent the film. Once you've digested it, then rent the sequel, "What the Bleep - Down the Rabbit Hole." I promise you that you will not be disappointed and you will be helped to see in a way you've never previously imagined.

Prophecy in Scripture is one powerful source of belief, because it does something no one but the God, who controls all things, can do, it's a message from God telling us what will happen in the future. Next you might consider how wonderful everything is made, in a universe that started from a single point in time, and is expanding. If you look at the age of the Universe and the chance probability of just one average length protein in your body forming by chance you will realize that it is an impossible event, thus someone must have created it (by the way, you have over 2000 different proteins in your body). Now as far as the other beliefs, if you do a study on them you will discover that they all have things in common, and that is because Noah taught his sons who taught their children who taught their children, and the accuracy of what was first taught by Noah was lost. But, of course, God used certain people to keep things accurate after Noah, starting with Abraham. There were also writings from the children of Enoch about Enoch, which Noah knew about and these writings were also preserved, and contain prophecy as well. Another thing to keep in mind about God is that he doesn't reveal everything because he we likely wouldn't understand it all anyway, because he is a Humble God, and because he wants us to discover how powerful and awesome he really is. So he may only describe something from our limited point of view. For example from our point of view we may deduce that the sun goes around the Earth. If there is no need for us to know that the Earth spins then God won't tell us about it. He only tells us what we need to know. Finally God's commandments are not that difficult to obey, his two greatest commands are the following:
"Teacher," he asked, "which is the greatest commandment in the Law?" Jesus answered, " 'Love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.' This is the greatest and the most important commandment. The second most important commandment is like it: 'Love your neighbor as you love yourself.' The whole Law of Moses and the teachings of the prophets depend on these two commandments."

there is no way to convince you to believe in Christ or any other it is truly up to you how ever when i am asked why i believe the answer is quite simple trust that there is something greater than ourselves then go to that Private place in your own room if that is possible close the door open your heart and simply say Jesus and then ask Jesus are you there there are those that think i am trying to brainwash you but if you do this with an open heart you will know i had nothing to do with it because he will come to you and you will feel a vary strange sensation then just ask Jesus is that you and he will open the floodgates of heaven to you

You don't. People come from various areas of the world and have different beliefs. Don't let others convince you. If you really want to be convinced, let me convince you: Be yourself and realize that the world is made of of different faiths and religions. Some believe in others because it is a place for moral support. If you need it, then no one is stopping you from choosing what fits you. You can go "religion hopping" or something. Good luck!

You can find hope even if you have lost it! and the only one who can convince you is yourself or the Almighty God Jehovah himself, I don't know exactly what the hope you had was,so I can't tell you about your hope, but I know my hope is real and it will become a reality very soon You are right there are millions of gods even the Bible acknowledges that, yet there is only one true God who created all things including the aw some universe and his name is Jehovah Jesus is his son and sits on the right hand of God Jesus is his right hand man so to speak

there is a god, someone who is very powerful that hath made the beginning and will come again in the end.
have you ever ask yourself where did you come from, where did your father and mother did come from, where did the first man and things come from? where did the stone come from? from dust? and where did the dust come from? in the end you will be surprised that the only answer will be that is the work of a divine being, so powerful that only a god can make that miracles to happen that can make things out of nothing. nothingness cannot make himself a thing
