Can anyone know for sure?

Question

I answered creatix' question(two words only please) and was suprised to see how many people answered yes to her 2nd question of Do you know you're right? As a Christian I believe that I am right, but how can anyone know 100% that they are right? There are too many things that we can just not verify to be 100% for sure. I think too many people confuse knowing with believing. What do you think?

fungirl-how can I prove it to you?

Answer 1

Nobody knows 100% that a higher power exists or doesn't exist. People can believe or disbelieve but that doesn't equal knowledge. Only after we all die will anybody know anything of the sort.

Answer 2

Faith. Hebrews 11:1 says that this is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.
I think that this is something that we as Christians can know for sure. If your looking for evidence to show the unsaved world, good luck. I believe that there are certain things that God will only reveal to the believer, and usually that is to the believers heart. This evidence then is personalized for the believer, that he or she may be 100% certain of the things God has placed on there heart. The problem is proving without a shadow of doubt the things of the heart. It's like explaining what love feels like and understanding it with your intellect. It can only be fully understood by experience.
The unsaved world has always demanded a sign to prove these things, even in Jesus's day. I don't believe God needs to be proved or argued, He is the Creator of the universe, isn't that good enough.
Blessings!

Answer 3

I can say for 100% that I know God is real and exists. You need only look up end time prophecy and the signs of the times, then compare them to our world today. You were told these things would all happen in 1 generations time, and they are. See for yourselves, the proof is there. If these things are happening as the bible says, the rest of it must be true as well. Accept it while the offer is free.

Answer 4

I am an Atheist and while I don't believe in god, and that's my belief and it's what right for me, I know that there is always a possibility that I could be wrong. I believe that the possibility is quite slim, but I can't even pretend to know 100% that I'm right.

So while I 100% believe there is no god, I could always be wrong. Stranger things have happened.

Answer 5

Well as we enter a world of postmodern philosophy, and according to this philosophy we can not PROVE or KNOW anything 100% sure.

I believe God exists and that Jesus is the Son of God. And this belief is probably 99.899% sure. But not 100%.

Answer 6

I answered the same question, but since I was limited to only two words I couldn't say that I know I am right, as much as any of us know we are right about our chosen belief.

It is faith that lets me know I am right.

Answer 7

The existence of a deity comes with a necessary consequence.

This necessary consequence is missing in the universe in which we find ourselves; it's a literal impossibility.

As such, the cause is of necessity absent.

IF X THEN Y.
NOT Y.
THEREFORE NOT X.

Absolutely airtight, it's called 'modus tollens'.

Answer 8

I think your right. Its like saying I believe you are of male gender but I don't know that for sure.

Answer 9

Maybe not 100% but you can logically say whether or not any particular god is probable or not.

I am 99.9% sure that the christian god doesn't exist. And if he does exist (.1%) I am sure that he doesn't deserve my worship.

Answer 10

It's called 'Taking an educated stance based on the evidence'.
