I believe. I am so sorry others don't believe. I pray for them to change. But, we can only try to let them know of Jesus' love. If they mock and make fun of us, that will be on them. I don't hold it against them. I used to be one of them many, many years ago.
Thank God He forgave me, and the forgiveness is there for them if they ever see the light. I hope it will not be too late.

The easiest thing in the world is not to believe in Jesus!
All you have to do is ignore facts. If the Lord Jesus never lived, why did every major ROMAN HISTORIAN of His time (Esubius, Joshepus, & Philo) write about Him?, If The Lord Jesus Never Lived, why don't we use the Jewish, Muslim, or some other calendar for reckoning time? See, if you can bring yourself to ignore these two essential questions it is easy not to believe that Jesus never lived. And if Jesus never lived why has the whole owrld been effected by His Message?
Now as for those that do not believe in God, it is easy to explain them too...Romans 1:22 states that the fool has said in his heart 'there is no God.' Jesus said in John 8:58, Before Abraham was, I AM. In that the Jews of His time understood Him clearly that He was saying He is the same God that spoke to Moses in Exdus 3. Not just Prophet like some deluded people try to claim Him to be.
Jesus was one of three things, He was a Liar, a Lunatic, or HE IS GOD in the FLESH. The records prove at least to the satisfaction of most thinking people that HE is the last of the three

Christianity is centered around the Jewish rabbi Yeshua Nazaret, known as Jesus. Paul is quoted many times of talking of Jesus and calling him the Messiah, and this seems like the likely start of Christianity - Paul's students of Christ. This chapter shows that Paul was mistaken and Jesus could not have been the Messiah. Over 2000 years the Jews have produced much literature, and continue to do so, stating the same thing: That Yeshua (Jesus) was not the Messiah.
Prophecy of the Messiah
The Old Testament predicts that the Messiah was to be called Emmanuel (Isaiah 7:14), and does not mention a Holy Spirit or a virgin birth. Emmanuel means "with God", but Jesus was instead called Yeshua, and was never called Emmanuel until a few decades after his death.
The Messiah, in scripture, will free the Israelites from oppression and secure a land for them to live in in the same generation (Amos 9:14-15, Mark 13:24-30, and Matthew 16:27-28, however that did not happen for a few hundred years and only gradually.
It was also stated that the Messiah has to be a direct male-line descendant of King David - this would not be true if it was the Holy Spirit who impregnated Mary because he would have no ascendants other than God. However despite this, God still inspired two completely useless and contradictory genealogies to be written into his New Testament.
Matthew's gospel starts with a record of Jesus' genealogy that is introduced with the words 'Jesus Christ, a descendant of David, a descendant of Abraham'. The family tree he gives is however, only of Jesus' step father, Joseph. It is Christian mythology that the Holy Spirit can impregnate virgins, however Matthew seems not to know or believe it. He, as we have seen, does not know or write about Jesus' virgin birth, and he gives Joseph's family tree as proof that Jesus was descended from David. Matthew must have believed that Joseph was Jesus' father, not the Holy Spirit (which was not invented until later in Christianities history).
Luke's genealogy is a completely different one, giving 43 generations from David to Joseph (in contrast to Matthew's 28) and using an entirely different set of names. It was tradition only to list family members that are thought important... but surely Matthew and Luke would have at least picked one in common! At the very least there must be 71 generations between them (unless a large amount of incest has been occurring, mixing generations and such).
It seems that Jesus himself, nor Mary, knew of his virgin birth, or even of his supposed divinity. Likewise Jesus never said he was the Messiah. In the Bible there are many Messiah's, and at that point in time they were common occurrences.
Most people believe in God. And, when asked why they believe in God, the most common answer is taken from the argument from design: the universe is too ordered and beautiful to have arisen without an intelligence behind it. Whether or not this is true, this claim has little to do with Christianity. Christianity claims that God not only created the world but also takes an active part in its management, in our moral choices, and in our fates. In other words; He cares. It is this conception of God that bends credulity to the breaking point. God as essence—that is a “first cause” God or a “higher power” God—is a far less difficult concept than God as being. First of all, according to centuries old Christian dogma, God is immutable. In other words He is a static, non-changing “being” that cannot create new beliefs, make inferences, or adjust desires. Secondly the idea of an omniscient, omnipotent “being” having desires borders on the nonsensical. If all things are known—all that ever was, is, or will be—what would be the point of desiring anything? This is not just a simple word game. Christians consistently claim that God “wants” us to believe in him and follow his commandments. However, they also claim that he knows whether we will do so or not. So, what is the point of Him wanting anything? A God as essence is palatable. A God as being is not only ridiculous but likely impossible. (P.S. This one is for the non-predestinarians. If you are a pre-destinarian there are other reasons you are wrong: see below. However, most Christians are not predestinarians; although, if they care about consistency [not high on the list], they should be.)

Because I'm not a christian and no matter how many times you come here whining like this I'm still not going to believe. For that fact if I were on the verge of considering it You would make me say no. You are negative and you spread your negativity. It's terrible. I know that Jesus the spiritual master would be sad if he saw how you responded to other people's beliefs. Considering he himself went around and learned about so many different beliefs.

Did a historical Jesus exist?
http://www.nobeliefs.com/exist.htm
ALL CLAIMS OF JESUS DERIVE FROM HEARSAY ACCOUNTS
No one has the slightest physical evidence to support a historical Jesus; no artifacts, dwelling, works of carpentry, or self-written manuscripts. All claims about Jesus derive from writings of other people. There occurs no contemporary Roman record that shows Pontius Pilate executing a man named Jesus. Devastating to historians, there occurs not a single contemporary writing that mentions Jesus. All documents about Jesus got written well after the life of the alleged Jesus from either: unknown authors, people who had never met an earthly Jesus, or from fraudulent, mythical or allegorical writings. Although one can argue that many of these writings come from fraud or interpolations, I will use the information and dates to show that even if these sources did not come from interpolations, they could still not serve as reliable evidence for a historical Jesus, simply because all sources derive from hearsay accounts.
Hearsay means information derived from other people rather than on a witness' own knowledge.
Courts of law do not generally allow hearsay as testimony, and nor does honest modern scholarship. Hearsay provides no proof or good evidence, and therefore, we should dismiss it.

The Jesus that I know does not force anyone to believe in him. The Jesus that I know is love and allows people to make choices. Why do some many people try to force others to believe like they believe? That is the question. It is wrong. Jesus never forced anyone to do anything.

Answer that question with this question, "When all else fails, (friends, parents, mentors, doctors, surgeons) who do you then turn to?
No food, no water, and you curse the only one who can rescue you?
When you are dieing, cancer, etc. Where do you turn?

Is this what you are actually saying...?
"You can not hide from Jesus! He knows all that goes on in your life. So you can't hide no sin from Him! Jesus see's everything you do. No matter where you are at."
Didn't you learn that from...
"He sees you when you're sleeping. He knows when you're awake.."
That sounds like the "cult of Santa Claus"
Aren't you a bit too old for this?

I agree with you.
Will you receive Jesus Christ right now?
Here is how you can receive Christ:
1. Admit your need (I am a sinner.)
2. Change your attitude that you can save yourself. Change your attitude to the fact that only Christ can save you by what He did on the cross (Repent...means a change of mind or attitude)
3. Believe that Jesus Christ died on the cross for you and rose from the grave.
4. Through prayer, invite Jesus Christ to come in and control your life through the Holy Spirit. (Receive Him as Lord and Savior)

Easy. They don't wish to put forth the effort required. What is worse are those who claim to follow Jesus but because they have not gotten accurate knowledge or turned it down when it was offered, Jesus tells them their worship is in vain. (Matt. 15:8)
Just claiming to accept Jesus is not enough. We must obey his orders for knowledge and action.
