Answer 2

I don't think it's possible to be alive, with reasoning ability, and not realize there IS a God. I've sensed there was a God from a very early age. However, like most people, I was led astray by other beliefs, and even went through a stage where I doubted God, though I knew better.

If one prays to God, and ask that he reveal himself in your heart, if you are sincere, he will do just that. It will be an unmistakable KNOWING, so that faith is all you will need. It happened to me, and now there is NOTHING that can convince me otherwise.

Remember, that unbelievers do not have the Gift of the Holy Spirit, and the Holy Spirit is what teaches, REVEALS, and helps us to discern. Without this Gift, unbelievers will always think Believers are foolish, and they will never understand the point of having a relationship with God. I also want to add, that everyone who claims to be Christian, is NOT.

There are just as many evil people in the Church as without. Sadly, many people will lose eternal life, and avoid a relationship with God, because they judge all Christians and God, by False Preachers, and Fraudulent Christians. This is exactly why many do evil acts, in the name of Christianity: to deceive many. Don't fall for it.

Answer 3

Methinks because of nature itself. Springtime:Plants grow. Summertime:They blossom to the fullest extent Falltime: They wither. Wintertime: They're dead. But another Springtime comes, and the flowers grow again. And Science cannot explain the sun. I mean how is it that this great "ball" ( I cannot say planet because Science, the "God Refuter," cannot prove it.) of fire has been able to burn for nearly the beginning of our time. As we know everything comes to an end. Everything. But as things come and go,(even our lives) the sun stays the same. Only change in our atmosphere. The O-zone. The polar caps, etc. have taken effect of "wear and tear" But no significance in change of the sun. It may sound absurd to some, but what I said is true. And to me God is like the sun watching over us. From beginning to end.

Answer 5

I knew there was a God when I realized that this planet, universe, and all that there is did not just come into existence without a being creating it. There had to be an uncaused cause of all that there is, and that uncaused cause is God.

Answer 6

I have this thing called a brain, and it says that people who burned witches and thought the world was flat don't have the right answers;) God is a blanket answer to though questions we may never completely understand.

Oh yeah, don't judge me;)
