All I have to do is look around me at all the beauty in nature. All the intricate details of even the smallest things. Ultimately, all I had to do is look and hold my children for the first time to realize there has to be a "God". There has to be someone much greater than I am to have the wisdom to create this wonderful thing we call life.

I truly believe God did create this world and all that is in it. I cannot and will not buy into the ideology that this all just "happened". Who am I in compared to this world of infinity? And, frankly, I don't care how God choose to create life. It may have been a "big bang" as scientist want us to believe, or it could have been just because God spoke the words and it all came to be. Either way, I know, beyond a shadow of a doubt,God is real.

look you're 14, right? i'm 13. there has been so much small evidence that He does exist, and it's not just a coincidence and you don't just "think" he answers your prayers. you KNOW. right away. it can't be a coincidence if it happens over and over and over and over and over again. the way He does it you're sure it's not a coincidence. He is always there for you, just waiting for you to come to Hime- all you have to do is believe.

now as for the "mythical legend of the Bible"... first of all it's not mythical at all, it's 100% truth. i'm going to look at it from a christian point of view, there's many. it's a long story, why do you think the Bible's so thick? i'm not going into too many details, you can go to biblegateway.com and read the first few chapters of genesis, and a couple of the gospels (matthew mark luke and john) if you want more info, i personally think you get the most out of reading that because most of the old testament takes a long time and you don't get as much from it. i don't know how much or little you know. first creation, the fall of man, and then the story of the Jews, His chosen people. throughout those stories are half a million prophesies about when and how the messiah will come to save them. it's about 400BC when those stories stop. then the new testament starts at Jesus's birth at 6-4 BC. this is the fulfillment of those ot prophesies. Jesus was the long-predicted messiah, and he was born like a normal kid with normal parents and had a normal life until he was about 30, besides the fact that he never sinned. then He started his minestry and eventually was betrayed by one of His followers and went through a totally illegal, unfair trial and was given the death sentence. the death sentence back then was disgusting and aweful, they whipped them so ruthlessly that the flesh in their backs got torn up, and then they made them carry a 150lb crossbar to a hill to be hung on nails to a pole to suffocate and die the most painful death they could ever immagine. and Jesus did this without complaining, the perfect person, God in a human body, to save us. without Him we would go to hell and suffer eternally, but He died to give us eternal life with Him instead. when he died, one of the last things he said was "my God, my God, why have you forsaken me?" that was the name of a psalm in the Bible that predicted His death. cool, huh?

sorry that was long, but it's kinda hard to make it short. hope i helped. :)

There are three different realities. The physical reality, which is the most obvious and real to us. There is the mental reality, which is everything we think about and imagine about and dream about. And there is the spiritual reality. This one is the hardest reality for humans to believe, and many don't. Because most of it relies on faith. This is where our souls are, and is where our relationship with god is the most. Just because you don't see the physical evidence, it doesn't mean he's not there.
When you pray, the answer doesn't always happen immediately afterwords and you cant just pray once and be done. You have to keep on praying. This isn't because god doesn't hear you, he hears you every time. But the devil also hears. The devil wants to mislead you. So, you pray unceasingly. And, don't just go on thinking God's answers are just coincidences. What if you hadn't prayed? It may seem like a coincidence, but so does the creation of Man.

It's your own personal choice to believe or not. Don't let anyone "guilt" you into it. You appear to have some sort of background with religion if you use a capital letter on God and you threw in the little "help me" at the end.
Trust me. You don't need "help" unless you "believe" that you do.
If you are curious, go get a bible and start reading. If you pick it up like some other novel, it's full of pretty good stories. As you read thru it, you'll learn what it's all about and then you can decide FOR YOURSELF if you wish to believe or not.

It is another story of mankid's search for 'happiness' or salvation in this case.
The idea is that there is something wrong with 'you' and the only solution lies outside in the form of an entity who can grant you this eternal 'happiness' if you 'believe' something.
The scriptures are full of various examples in story form of mankind's inability to solve their own problems and the hero God saves them from themselves.
There really isn't anything there that can help you live. There is only a system to keep you searching for this thing called 'salvation, happiness, bliss, etc.'

I have spent countless hours in churches and studying these scriptures and can tell you with complete confidence that any value they contain is purely as entertainment.

The living being has no use for any search which may or may not end in everlasting pleasure. It is uninterested. You are being pressured by your culture to want 'more' out of the vision of 'life' they it has given you.

You will only make yourself more miserable by continuing this search.

The Bible is a collection of myths and history that follow the migrations and activities of a semetic people referred to as the Hebrews. It is written in such a manner as to make it difficult to separate the myths from the history. Four books of the Bible follow the life of Jesus of Nazareth. He is the founding inspiration for the Christian faith. The main point of this is that there is more than one myth in the Bible and it isn't practical to give one myth as the myth of the Bible.

Well was going to give a snap answer...but...the Bible is a collection of books and stories from human religious history...

Some allegorical, legendary, as well as historical...And it's not the only religious collection out there...

There are Vedas and other great writings handed down through the ages of time concerning life, soul, god, etc. etc. and our place in it...

So don't really know quite what you want to know or are asking about it all?

I am afraid I can't help you. I don't believe the bible is mythical. May I ask you a question? Are you really 14 years old as you stated in a prior question?
