how do you know?

Question

christians preach, in great detail, with certainty, of what they clainm is unshakable truth. which happens to be a different set of certainties from person to person.
how is each persons account accurate?
also concidering its all based on one book.
where do you get your thoughts?
have you not concidered that this is all they are, just thoughts, from your conciousness?not an invented supernatural being?

the inherent fear of religious doctrine, & death, drives people to avoid the simple truth, & grasp at straws, like a child making excuses for not wanting to go to school.

the truth is ok, its all we have.
you just need to look for the good, & be grateful.

people are prepared to invest faith because they like the sound of the reward. its not that it makes sense over what is real.

jeanmarie & hogie-
it defies logic that a being supposedly omnipitent, would create such a science experiment, & choose to communicate via charades.
the theory is lunacy

Answer 1

If you really want to know if it's true, go straight to the source. Pray to God and ask Him. If you are sincere, He'll answer.

Answer 2

The bible even though it is bound together has 66 books.

There is no "The truth for you."
2+2=4 is a truth. This is not subject to interpretation.
One can say I don't believe you have the truth but truth is just what it is, truth.

Christianity has a rich history which started with the jews at the beginning of time. The bible is filled with historical facts that Archaeologists use and has been proven very reliable. We have over 5000 documented ancient findings of scripture, many in different languages, all the same. WE have the dead sea scrolls to prove this also. The Vatican just bought 2 gospels dating 90 ad, the same as we have today. There is prophesies that has come to pass from the bible that proves it's reliability. Over 300 just for the man Jesus.

We have non christian evidence of Jesus from Tacitus and Josephus both historians. And a Governor named Pliny the Younger who all wrote about "Christos" and his followers the Christan's.

Archaeologists have found the tomb of Caiaphas who was the Pharisee that brought Jesus to trial.
Jesus WAS a real person who was an historical figure. Even well read Atheists KNOW this.

We have eye witnesses who had every thing to loose by claiming to be a follower of Jesus. Why? When Jesus was killed they scattered. Afraid. BUT when they saw he was resurrected they became bold. Why?
Since the bible is reliable, and Jesus WAS here you must decide.
Was he a nut? A liar, Or who he claimed to be.

For me, I personally have had MANY supernatural experienced with God/ Jesus. So many in fact I started keeping a journal.
God is real, Jesus is The Christ and there is salvation in no other name.

Answer 3

I don't believe in response to fear, but in response to love...God is Love...

Answer 4

You make it sound like you know otherwise, so "how do you know?"
