Isnt it funny how people believe in god but cant give one good reason why?

Answer 1

This was good enough for me.

Several years ago I had an unusual experience concerning an uncle, a distant relative who lived over a thousand miles away.

While driving my car I suddenly felt the unmistakable presence of this relative that I hardly even knew. He was more like someone I had heard about than someone I knew. It was very strange; it felt as though I was momentarily lifted right out of my physical body. I seemed to be suspended somehow beyond space and time, bathed in a love so intense It felt like I could have just disappear into it at any moment if It would have let me. It only lasted for a few seconds, but it seemed to last forever at the same time. I realize how crazy this must sound. The experience was so strong that at first I was afraid I was loosing my grip on reality. I finally managed to chalk it up to an over active imagination.

Three days later I got a call from my aunt telling me that this uncle we are talking about had gone into a coma and died the day I had the experience. It felt like ice water had been poured down my back when she told me this. I had lost any real ideas of God or faith and had become somewhat of an atheist. Needless to say this experience caused me to rethink some of the conclusions I had come to.

I feel blessed to now understand that even in our darkest confusion something loves us so much that it went out of its way to assist me and bring me back to a state of absolute certainty about Gods love for us.
During the experience it seemed like there was a vast amount of information that I was somehow allowed access to. One thing that I came away from this experience understanding beyond any shadow of a doubt was that any Idea that God is unhappy with us or would judge or allow us to be punished for any reason is simply impossible.

I can’t explain the love I felt with words. They simply don’t make words big enough or complete enough to do this. The only way I can begin to convey this love to you is to say that there was simply nothing else there. Nothing but love. No hint of judgment, no displeasure of any sort. It is as though God sees us as being as perfect as we were the day we were created. It is only in our confused idea of ourselves that we seem to have changed.

I hope this is of some help to you. Good luck. Love and blessings.

Your brother don

Answer 2

If you ask a person with faith then they should be able to give you many reasons why.

Heres mine for what its worth......

I believe in God because He has shown his love to me many,many times. I have felt His Presence and witnessed many miracles...........I know that God is real because I and many others see evidence of His work.....He makes us all feel loved in a special way........this is just one of my reasons I have more but dont want to bore you.

Answer 3

Isn't it funny no matter how many reasons we give, you cannot accept them? What's wrong with you? Don't you read? How can you even ask this question? Guess it boils down to a hardened heart to the truth. You cannot understand us unless you open your heart to Jesus! Have a blessed day anyway.

Answer 4

Exactly. At best they tell you some petty "miracle story". Yeah, that must mean God exists and created the entire universe and possibly other sentient life!

Answer 5

faith sometimes can be proven right based on how much a person knows about that thing/person. if someone really claims that he do believe in God then his knowledge about God would prove if he really is saying the truth.

Answer 6

I believe in God and i have many reasons why. A) The bible. B) look at all the miracles that happen in the world. C) If you have faith, then you will believe. and much much more

Answer 7

They have what they believe to be good reasons.It's when they expect me to believe for the same reasons that I have a problem.

Answer 8

We all need something to believe in. It's just that some can't handle reality.

Answer 9

Are you trying to prove something here? You wouldn't understand until you believe anyways.

Answer 10

Sura 23:12-22
12.We created the human being from a certain kind of mud.
13.Subsequently, we reproduced him from a tiny drop, that is placed into a well protected repository.
14.Then we developed the drop into a hanging (embryo), then developed the hanging (embryo) into a bite-size (fetus), then created the bite-size (fetus) into bones, then covered the bones with flesh. We thus produce a new creature. Most blessed is GOD, the best Creator.
15.Then, later on, you die.
16.Then, on the Day of Resurrection, you will be resurrected.
17.We created above you seven universes in layers, and we are never unaware of a single creature in them.
18.We send down from the sky water, in exact measure, then we store it in the ground. Certainly, we can let it escape.
19.With it, we produce for you orchards of date palms, grapes, all kinds of fruits, and various foods.
20.Also, a tree native to Sinai produces oil, as well as relish for the eaters.
21.And the livestock should provide you with a lesson. We let you drink (milk) from their bellies, you derive other benefits from them, and some of them you use for food.
22.On them, and on the ships, you ride.
Sura 21:30-35
30.Do the unbelievers not realize that the heaven and the earth used to be one solid mass that we exploded into existence? And from water we made all living things. Would they believe?
31.And we placed on earth stabilizers, lest it tumbles with them, and we placed straight roads therein, that they may be guided.
32.And we rendered the sky a guarded ceiling. Yet, they are totally oblivious to all the portents therein.
33.And He is the One who created the night and the day, and the sun and the moon; each floating in its own orbit.
34.We never decreed immortality for anyone before you;
should you die, are they immortal?
35.Every person will taste death, after we put you to the test through adversity and prosperity, then to us you ultimately return.
Sura 27:7-13

9."O Moses, this is Me, GOD, the Almighty, Most Wise.
10."Throw down your staff." When he saw it moving like a demon, he turned around and fled. "O Moses, do not be afraid. My messengers shall not fear.
11."Except those who commit a transgression, then substitute righteousness after sinning; I am Forgiving, Most Merciful.
12."Put your hand in your pocket; it will come out white, without a blemish. These are among nine miracles to Pharaoh and his people, for they are wicked people."

40.Another allegory is that of being in total darkness in the midst of a violent ocean, with waves upon waves, in addition to thick fog. Darkness upon darkness if he looked at his own hand, he could barely see it.Whomever GOD deprives of light, will have no light.
41.Do you not realize that everyone in the heavens and the earth glorifies GOD, even the birds as they fly in a column? Each knows its prayer and its glorification. GOD is fully aware
of everything they do.
42.To GOD belongs the sovereignty of the heavens and the earth, and to GOD is the final destiny.
43.Do you not realize that GOD drives the clouds, then then, gathers them together then piles them on each other, then you see the rain coming out of them? He sends down from the sky loads of snow to cover whomever He wills,while diverting it from whomever He wills. The brightness of the snow almost blinds the eyes.
44.GOD controls the night and day. This should be a lesson for those who possess eyes.
45.And GOD created every living creature from water. Some of them walk on their bellies, some walk on two legs,and some walk on four. GOD creates whatever He wills. GOD is Omnipotent.

Sure 35:13
13.He merges the night into the day, and merges the day into the night. He has committed the sun and the moon to run for a predetermined period of time. Such is GOD your Lord; to Him belongs all kingship. Any idols you set up beside Him do not possess as much as a seed's shell.

12.Thus, He* completed the seven universes in two days, and set up the laws for every universe. And we* adorned the lowest universe with lamps, and placed guards around it.
Such is the design of the Almighty, the Omniscient.
Sura 41:37-
37.Among His proofs are the night and the day, and the sun and the moon. Do not prostrate before the sun, nor the moon; you shall fall prostrate before the GOD who created them, if you truly worship Him alone.
38.If they are too arrogant to do this, then those at your Lord glorify Him night and day, without ever tiring.
39.Among His proofs is that you see the land still, then, as soon as we shower it with water, it vibrates with life.
Surely, the One who revived it can revive the dead. He is Omnipotent.
