o......k....... i didn't get anything usefull out of that. all i got was "it was an inspiretion of god": im mainly asking if god is real, out of all these questions, since you have not yet proven that god is real dont use it like "it was an inspiretion of GOD" cause he wasn't yet proven.
last question on faith turned out to be a lot of giberish, try again please and this time try to answer the question here, not another.

You are asking ....Is God Real..correct?
and you want proof that God is real.?
Well, we have methods for proving historical things. The one that most people want us to use is called the scientific method. Whereby an experiment is repeated in a lab with the same results.
We cannot use that with Jesus because a historical event cannot be proven by that method. However. that does not mean Jesus didn't exist, nor raise from the dead. You cannot prove Abraham Lincoln existed by that method either.....yet you believe in him...right???
So we use the accepted method, called the Historical Method
How do we prove something happened by that method?
In the Historical Method, we compare eye witness accounts of an event. In the Case of Jesus Christ we have: Luke, Paul Peter, John who wrote eyewitness accounts that match. We then have Josephus (a Jewish historian) of the time and Ignatius.
But that is not all..we have others who confirm the bible accounts. Julius Africanus writes of a commentary about the resurrection written by a Samaritan historian Thallus. Phelgon, of the 1st century also records events that confirm the bible record. The Babylonian Talmud also confirms the historical events from bible. There are many more.
Now that is the Historical method only. We also have Archaeological confirmations
Plus..we have personal experience!
There are so many reasons........to believe!

People all over the world have been asking that same question. Some found thier answer in Jehovah others in Jesus others in Allah. Jesus said it best when he quoted from the Oldtestament scripture Deuteronomy 6:4. He says know ye not that GOD is spirit and those who worship him must do so in spirit and in truth.God is spirit my friend.

First off, your tone is one that implies that Christians owe you some sort of explanation, which they do not.
Secondly, if you refuse to believe in God, no logic will bring you to Him. You criticize the fact that people say Christian truths are "spiritually discerned." But, I'm sorry, that is the truth so if you want to condemn it as false because of that, go ahead. But before you do, I suggest you read "Mere Christianity" by C.S. Lewis.

I"m not sure I'm following you
Faith is the belief in things unseen. Hope is part of faith in that you have a hope that the things unseen will come to fruition in your life.
for example. You have faith that your child will do the best that they can in school.
You have faith that you and your husband / wife will work together to stay together.
If you don't want to hear what God is all about, you don't have faith in him. Those that do, have felt His presence in their lives, and so have faith in who He is and what he promises.

If you reject the authenticity of the words of the Bible, especially if you think the Bible is just a novel, a fiction, then perhaps I could not prove to you that my GOD is real.

If God isn't real how do you explain the nature around us, the sun,moon,and stars, all of the animals, and human beings. Somebody had to create us it didn't create itself.

Excuse me? You are making next to no sense and accusing others of "giberish?"

We need faith for believing that God exists but also for that He does not exist...
You need to decide which way it is in your life.

God is a subjective experience. You must prove it to yourself. No one else can carry your belief for you.

My infallible logic tells me that I am intelligent and that God is merely a creation of the conservative media.
