1. Christians are totally confused. You have Jehovah's witnesses saying one thing and other christian religions saying another thing.
NObody can agree on what the bible teaches!!! Although I agree more with Jehovah's Witnesses.
2. Evolution theory kind of makes sense. With muTations, natural selection, etc..., But i'm still not convinced, there is lack of evidence and just a whole bunch of theories hoping and wishing to erase God. These guys don't compromise, they are convinced the bible is a lie and God does not exists.
3. There are a billion other religions out there....and everyone thinks they are on the correct religion!!!!!
Whats going on!!!!!!
Why is everyone so confused????
I WANT TO KNOW THE TRUTH!
Why doesn't God come out and tells us what the truth is so that we may know it and fight for it?
I would wordship God, but what if he does not exists???? Or is it SATAN causing all this confusion????

Immediately, the questioner should begin praying in faith for God's assistance and direction in this matter.
(1 John 5:15) We know we are to have the things asked since we have asked them of him.
Secondly, the questioner should not hesitate to read the bible immediately. Even if a printed copy is unavailable, the entire text is freely available on the internet:
http://jehovantodistajat.fi/e/bible/
http://www.hti.umich.edu/r/rsv/
http://www.hti.umich.edu/k/kjv/
Thirdly, the questioner should not hesitate to share even his limited understanding of the Christian "good news" with friends, neighbors, relatives, etc.
(Mark 13:10) the good news has to be preached first
Fourthly, the questioner can get true Christians to come to him in his home and together they can read and study the bible!
(Matthew 18:20) For where there are two or three gathered together in my name, there I am in their midst.

The important thing is to insist that any discussion or meeting use the bible as the only authority. Too many churches elevate human tradition and philosophy of men over God's Word the Holy Bible. Condider also whether the church has an organized program whereby all its adherents preach publicly as Jesus commanded.
(2 Timothy 4:3-5) For there will be a period of time when they will not put up with the healthful teaching, but, in accord with their own desires, they will accumulate teachers for themselves to have their ears tickled; and they will turn their ears away from the truth, whereas they will be turned aside to false stories. You, though, keep your senses in all things, suffer evil, do the work of an evangelizer, fully accomplish your ministry.
(Matthew 28:19,20) Go therefore and make disciples of people of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the holy spirit, teaching them to observe all the things I have commanded you. And, look! I am with you all the days until the conclusion of the system of things.

Either we are incredibly stupid or we are very smart but over thinking things. I'm not concerned with knowing the complete truth since I will find out when I die OR I'll just be dead and that's the end of it. I'm curious about it but it doesn't control my life. Just accept the fact that you may just naturally be unable to recognize the 'truth' right now and you can't force anything on yourself. If there is a God, then I believe he created us this way and we are acting just how he would want us to act. God would know how your mind works and I don't think he would actually hold confusion against anyone.

Wow. You poor thing! However I feel your pain. Where does it begin and where does it end?? How are we suppose to know? I asked a similiar question to yours not to long ago on here. The best advice I got was to just keep asking questions and keep researching. THen come to my own informed conclusion. Then, decide "what is really in my heart and what do I believe?"
I dont know whats going on. I wish I did know though. If you want go back and look at the questions I asked. Mine was about the Bible. I recieved some really good answers. I hope this helps you out some. Good luck and relax. The more your soul is at peace, the more you will be able to decide.

You got part of it. Satan is causing all this confusion. Loving it too. He will lead you to the truth and I will pray for that for you.
Jesus said I am the way, the TRUTH and the life, no one comes to the father but by me.
And... God does work through people that is why people wrote the bible, and God allowed it to carry on for billions of years. He wanted the message to be known. You have to have faith before you can start to see. Finding the truth is easy and if you really want to know he will lead you to it. You will then have a choice to make (free will) to believe or reject it.

Your last statement answered everything: Satan is the cause of all the confusion.
For me, I began to study to roots and origins of Christianity. I was a protestant, but converted to the Catholic Church when I had finished. The problem you're running into is that in Christianity, you have to main denominations: Catholic and Protestant. The Catholic Church has been there for 2000+ years and going and has taught the same things for 2000 years. On the Protestant side, well, now it gets confusing. They've been around for 500 years, and instead of just one church teaching one faith, we have thousands of churches teaching thousands of different interpretations of the faith. It's crazy.
I love my protestant brothers and sisters, but the Catholic Church is the original church founded by Christ. It's hard for most people to hear that (it was hard for me at first), and there are tons of misconceptions out there, but once you can get past all that, it's amazing the things you begin to learn.
Thanks for your question, and God bless.

First off, Satan is the king of confusion, and secondly, if God came out and told us all what the truth was, it wouldn't really be faith, would it? Faith is believing without proof.
By the way, the JW's are one of the most confused religions of them all. It is in no way "okay" to change the words of God, it is not "okay" to follow known false prophets, which the JW's are founded on. They continually put out end time dates, which of course all turn out to be wrong, even though the bible specifially says "no one but the Father knows the time". I believe they actually hold a record for most false end time dates, which makes them number one in the false prophets department.

You do not want to know the truth. You are just proselytizing. It's a shame your previous question clearly states that "Evolution is false." and it's a conspiracy.
"These guys don't compromise, they are convinced the bible is a lie and God does not exists."
Evolution refutes Biblical Creation, not God. Get a grip and embrace the truth. Evolution is real -- more real than you can handle.

Keep asking questions! Good for you for caring!
Remember that God showed the truth of his existence to the Israelites and they still lost their faith - it's our imperfection and it's Satan, you're right.
If you keep asking and searching with a sincere and humble heart, you will find what you are looking for. Pray about it (even if you don't know if you believe in God at first).
All the best to you.

When bibles first came to churches we did not have amany printing presses so it was expensive to make copies of the bible. So the nuns had to rewrite the bible hundreds of times so that everyone could have a copy. You know when you copy something you're always going to mess up if it's long enough. There all the sudden were many versions of the bible. Now we have different churches that read different bibles and believe different things. Hope that helps a little.
