Answer 1

Yes- I see Christians.
Yes, I can see paintings and artwork of what people imagine Him to look like and read books written about Him.
Don't know- can I prove He exists, no. Can I prove He doesn't- no. The same can be said of UFOS, bigfoot and the lochness monster.
That's only 3 questions- correct.

Answer 2

The ideas of Christianity and God definitely exist. People pay homage to both every Sunday in churches around the world.
I suppose true Christianity doesn't exist because true Christianity would mean living like Jesus did; completely without sin and nobody does that. Does God exist? I suppose you can't absolutely prove it by argument, but the evidence of design, a pattern that would not be attributed to law without the theory of evolution being in place, is shown throughout the universe. Archaeologists dig in holes all over the world. They find ancient things and they have to determine what was made by man and what was made by natural forces. If there is a pattern, they conclude it was made by man. There are many patterns throughout the Earth and in space. There must be a God who designed it all. There has been decay and many problems. The Bible says that's a result, ultimately, of the fall in the Garden of Eden when Adam and Eve, the first two humans, sinned.

Answer 3

Hello and i might as well ask you to prove that it dose not exist, i mean the holy bible written over a 1500 year period by 44 authors and yet it agrees with itself despite opinions to the contrary and 30% of it is prophecy and much of it is fulfilled, you might be asked to prove Christianity does not exist and you would have to start with changed lives like mine i would be dead if Christ had not been in my life God can i prove He is there, well can you prove He isn't? I mean lets be real in all this vast universe, of all the places you have never been, and all the things you do not know can God live there? The ten commandments are the basis of all the laws in all the countrys that you would feel save to live including the USA, so if they are real so is the rest, how about investagating the thing your telling others does not exist, free bible lessons www.amazingfacts.org God bless.

Answer 4

The way you framed these questions is interesting, but a bit opaque.

"Christianity," as a thing, does not "exist" per se. Not in the sense of how a book or a chair exists.

What "exists" is a historical and current community of believers who propagated the name of Jesus Christ for centuries. What also "exists," is the living reality, the Word of God, who is Jesus Christ. He rose from the grave and conquered death -- and it is that power, along with the power of the Holy Spirit, which continued to work in believers to perform miraculous healings, transformation, and repentance. Since the assertion of Jesus Christ's presence on earth is a faith-based assertion, it would be silly and reductionist to try to "prove" it with the scientific method, which is a very Western and historically relative way to understand knowledge. There is a difference between Truth and what is "correct." Read the philosopher Martin Heidegger's -- Why is There Something Rather Than Nothing? This will help you with your questions.

Answer 5

Your cleaver.
Can you prove that all you see and do is not just in your mind?
Edit:
You just didn't understand the answer.
Proof is a scientific term and is not applicable to the unprovable.
Edit 2:
OK, it's a game I see that now.
the "Idea of Christianity" exists and is provable by the fact that you asked the question.
The same answer for "The Idea Of God"
You did use the singular "Idea" and did not ask about a universal "Idea" so you thought of questioning if there is an "idea" is sufficient. There needs to be only one example with evidence ( which you supplied with your question) of the "idea"
As for the rest refer to Edit #1

Answer 6

Well, R u, sounds like another question to trip up the believers.

We believe the Old testament is true, and that the first five books were given to Moses to have his scribes write it down. Then other prophets in the old testament were inspired by God, and wrote down the prophecies about the birth of Jesus, hundreds of years in advance. And exact dates were given, that can be proven even in todays science....like the astromony, and the archiology, and even the exact locations of places that still exist today...that's history.

There are well over three hundred prophecies about the coming savior, his life, the events leading up to his death, and other things to come. Of those over three hundred, every single one, were correct. And it takes a mathmatical program to tell you how huge the odds are. Its like 1 x 10 ^600. A figure to big to even have a scientific name.

And thing that accurate is deemed infallible, despite the numbers of people mouthing off about how incorrect Christianity is.

You either believe it or you don't. And in the Bible, God is.... so either you believe or you can burry your head in sand and say it is a falicy. God says he is, and so far nothing has disproved it....nor can science, history, math, archeology, or anything else.

Given that there are no mistakes in the bible, except those pointed out by people who refuse to know how to read, and that the bible tells us that it was inspired by God, to his prophets, I have to say He exist. And it sure beats what it coming in the future, and betting against God.

You may put me down for believing in God, I can expect that. But the moment in the future that all hell breaks loose, would you remember when I told you so? You can then call upon God...and he still will accept you. Until then, this is a unending game for some of you, but that's how you get your jollies, you think it makes you look good to you friends. It doesn't bother the Christians. But it will bother you. Someday....

Answer 7

The only tool we have to observe, or test ideas is the mind. You didn't ask if I exist, so I'll take that as a given (cognito ergo sum). The idea of Christianity exists in my mind.
But, my mind says no to your second question, Christianity, marching bands, and popular movies don't exist, they are all animated.
Again the idea of God is in my mind.
God is self evident, everywhere.
The arguement for the last question is woefully insufficent for convincing a blind man that the rainbow exists. Although even those with eyes to see have never done more than glimpse one. No rainbows in a jar. Sorry....

Answer 8

Well, you might want to start by going to the source Himself and asking, with a sincere heart. He promised He'd answer those who seek, and He keeps His promises. But here's what He said about His existence: "...since what may be known about God is plain to them, because God has made it plain to them. For since the creation of the world God's invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that men are without excuse." His words, not mine. All you have to do is ask someone whose life has been so changed by believing this God.

Answer 9

It is not for a man or woman to prove God's existence he is....but if one is blind and deaf. Even if God spoke to you; you would not listen.

Luke 16:91-31. Read about the rich man and the poor man.

It is a reality that the rich man still had a mind and a tongue ...and it was then that he began to see. Yet he was still arrogant did nothing for anyone [ said let him come and wet my tongue]

Answer 10

I find no use in answering this claim, even though I could.
By your questions, you already doubt and refute any claim and are ready to use any contradictions.
In other words, your mind is already concrete against God. Since the door remains shut and locked...
