BELIEVERS: Which of the arguments for the existence of God do you find most convincing?

Answer 1

so are there any convincing ones
im waiting

Answer 2

Thank you for such an enlightening, respectful question. They're so few and far between on here!

Anyway, some of my favorites are:
1. Answered prayers and miracles that I've witnessed.
2. The historical and archaeological evidence that corroborates the Bible.
3. The fact that Jesus's disciples believed in Him so much that they were willing to die terrible deaths for their belief.
4. The fact that the tomb was EMPTY. If it wasn't, I'm sure someone would have pointed it out.
5. The fact that even some scientists, though they try not to use the word, have described the origin of life as nothing short of a miracle.
6. The fact that all matter is composed of quarks, which are sound, and God SPOKE everything into existence.
7. The cosmological constant. I'm not talking about Einstein's "blunder" either. The latest research performed by cosmologists is fascinating at the least. There's an interesting article about it on wikipedia.

And there are SO many more. But I've discovered just recently that I don't need any of that stuff. I did, in order to believe, at first. But now I don't. Strange how that works.

Answer 3

I need no argument to convince me that God exists. I just have to look around me ant the beauty of the world He created. All creation shouts out the existance of God.

Answer 4

Trick question huh? I don't need a argument to believe, unfortunate its not that simple. Too complicated to explain very well epically in one answer. I don't need arguments i need faith, I need to look at facts and non facts, com-pair and contrast, complicated i know.

Answer 5

The 2nd law of thermodynamics demands that something (or someone) have started the who thing... something not bound by that law.

Even if you believe that the universe will collapse and rebound in another "big bang", that law demands it have less energy each time, which still says the same thing... just pushing it further back "in time"

Answer 6

uh, um....are you gonna give some choices or something? There is only one argument
that I can come up with, and thats either you have faith and the knowledge WITH UNDERSTANDING of Gods Word, or ya
don't. Its not a matter of evidence, but a matter of faith and of how each individual was touched by God personally and brought into the fold. A relationship with
Christ is a very personal thing.

Answer 7

Hello NH Baritone.. :)

I would like to apologize, for this being lengthy..

There is only one argument that I found convincing, that was my own personal experience with God.. :)

I surely was not looking for Him..after all, I did not even believe god existed..

I was going to commit suicide, but when my brother came to get my children to go with him to church he asked me to go to with him, I told him I was not dressed, but he said he would wait..I cursed at the Pastor and told him he was a Jesus Freak (I hated Christians) all the Pastor did was tell me he loved me and Jesus did to..Yeh right.. :(

The following Sunday I went back to the Church, to curse some more at the Pastor, but before I could say anything, he asked who wanted to be baptized that afternoon, my hand went right into the air..so I was baptized right behind a little Church, where as a young child, I would make fun of all the goody goodies, that went there on Sunday..

I asked Jesus into my heart, I did not feel any different that day, I even smoked a joint on the way home..

But the next day I no longer had any doubt..I was quoting the Bible..(I never even had read it before)..My heart felt clean, as though I was white as snow..I was drug free..I no longer sword, my old life which I thought was exciting, compared nothing to the unspeakable joy I was feeling..

I saw everything differently, in a New light..I understood what other Christians meant when they told me that they Loved me..

God bestowed down upon me, His Love for my ten year old little girl, whom I could not Love on my own..she came downstairs to see what the noise was, I told her I loved her and for the first time in her life I felt it..we both hugged one another and cried..the emptiness was gone and His Love took it's place..


In Jesus Most Precious Name..
With Love..your Friend..In Christ.. :)

Answer 8

The one that points to the countless personal prayers that have been answered and miracles witnessed. The one that points to the undeniable feelings of joy and peace that have come to me as I ponder the things of God. That argument is the most convincing to me.

Answer 9

There is no arguement needed for me.

Nor do I feel the need to prove his existence to anyone else.

I see God in all places.

Answer 10

The fact that scientists believe that there are at least ten dimensions. It seems very likely to me that there are beings that live in these other dimensions that could toy with our world and we would never see them because we can only comprehend four dimensions.

Answer 11

The argument that life comes from life. It is scientific, concise, proven, reproducible, and consistent. No evidence exists that suggests that life comes from any other source. The origin of life is life itself, and God is the summum bonum of life.
