Answer 1

I used to be an idolator, worshipping the traditional gods of the Chinese people...the Chinese people's gods comprise mainly of 'dead heroes' and ancestors. I had even tried Buddhism, which is actually a religion imported from India as Buddha was an Indian prince....unfortunately, also a dead hero!

Without knowing it then, I was actually searching for God.

Then at the age of 20, I was invited to church. There I heard a sermon from the pulpit telling me that the True God loves me & gave His life for me so that my sins could be forgiven. I felt like a sledge hammer struck my heart....God LOVES me? Tears came to my eyes...I struggled with whether I should go forward or not to accept Jesus into my heart.

In all my life, I had not heard that God loves me! The gods that I had prayed to were just statues of dead people...they couldn't help themselves, let alone help me!

But my heart had been melted by His love for me, so I went forward to the altar, knelt & prayed the sinner's prayer. I wept profusely, for what I didn't really know...all I knew then was, I NEEDED to be forgiven.

After that time of encounter with the God of LOVE, I got up from where I had knelt...a tremendous weight had been removed from me, the weight of sin, guilt & condemnation. There was so much PEACE in my heart & in my mind. Joy overflowed from within. I knew JESUS HAD FORGIVEN ME!

Since that fateful night, I had not looked back. I am still a Christian & I had brought others among my family & friends to know this wonderful Jesus, too.

Answer 2

I believe in what the Bible says because from start to finish it is like a tapestry that all fits together and reveals how we can have a relationship with God...... not just a belief, but a relationship. Jesus said there will be many false religions in the world... but there is only one true God. And he is the God of the Bible. Everything in it is coming true... and has been for ages before us.

Answer 3

Not sure how I would be classified. Christians would wonder over my Pagan beliefs yet I support all people of faith if they try to live their beliefs and not just claim it. I pray to the Goddess and God, live Magick, and have answers (and results) just as real as when I prayed to the Christian concept of God. I look upon all of the divine as 1 being with many aspects to be focused on in faith so as to be accessible and understandable to all people one way or the other with none being more correct than the rest, just possibly farther removed from the ONE but still valid. All faith is holy and sacred, nobody has a monopoly on all the answers. Peace be upon all ...

The Christian God was very careful to prove himself when he had the Bible written. He wanted to make sure you would recognize him as God when he set his plan of salvation into effect. What he did is predict the future. No person on earth, no medium or psychic, can claim the accurate prediction rate of God. God gave times, people's names, and place names so we can check out history and verify his work. He even gave us the name of a historical figure centuries before the fact!
Now if you wanted everyone to know that you, as God, was going to appear as a human being, you would explain what you were like so you would be recognized. You would put in the city of your birth, where you grew up, what kinds of deeds you would do, your temperament, your purpose, even how you would die.
God did all that in the Old Testament. It was all in written form four hundred years before Jesus' birth. The New Testament gospels follow Jesus and point out some of the places where He fulfilled the prophecies.
If you haven't been exposed to biblical prophecy, before, let me give you several examples.

Daniel recounts in chapter eleven of his book of having received knowledge of future events. Written in the 6th century B.C., Daniel gives us an accurate description of events winding down to 199-198 B.C. He foresaw Alexander the Great's kingdom split up into four factions. The prophecy predicts details of the conflict between the Ptolemy and Seleucid dynasties. Skeptics cannot believe the account was written before 164 B.C. Unlike Nostradamus' cryptic writings, Daniel chapter eleven describes plain schemes and conquests that are easily followed by the student of history.
Can you name the next president of the United States just two years ahead of time? Can you guess what name a friend will come up with for her new baby barely nine months into the future? No? Well, how about naming a king who will not appear for another 150 years, and name his nation? The prophet Isaiah did just that. In 44:28-45:1 God tells us that Cyrus, king of Persia, will decree regarding Jerusalem, "You shall be built," and regarding the temple, "Your foundation shall be laid." In 2 Chronicles 36:22-Ezra 1:1-3 we find that Cyrus did indeed come to power and called the Jews to return to Israel and rebuild Jerusalem.
Can you predict when the Messiah (God's chosen one) will appear in the world? Daniel 9:24-25 tells us that the Messiah would die 483 Hebrew years after "the going forth of the command to restore and build Jerusalem." Neh. 2:1-8 tells us that King Artaxerxes issued that decree (March 5, 444 B.C.). 483 prophetic years (360 days to a year in the calendar of the ancient world) and seven days later, Jesus the Messiah was crucified.

How could a prophet accurately predict the dismantling of a world empire hundreds of years beforehand? How could a prophet give us the name, nation, and decree over a hundred years prior to the king's birth? How could a man foretell to the year the life and death of Jesus unless he really heard the voice of God? (I can't even predict which shirt I'll wear tomorrow.) These are only a small sample of prophecy in the Bible. One quarter of the Bible is prophecy. Several archaeological discoveries have verified these and many other accounts. God has proven his existence wonderfully.

Answer 5

A powerful invitation that my church (lds, or mormons...) offers is to ask sincerely if the teachings really are true and if this is the one church fully lead by God and Jesus. I truly feel like Heavenly Father has given me a positive answer.

Now before someone tries this, you have to understand the word sincere.

Which is sincere: giving a quick prayer in the car and thinking, "I wonder if this will work?" or studying about the church, trying it out a little, pondering about your feelings, and praying from time to time (maybe a few days or weeks)?

You have to ask yourself, "do I really, really want to know which church is lead by Him? Am I willing to completly follow it?

Answer 6

I have a mixture that I believe in as far as religion.I consider myself a witch in the fact that I like the connection with nature and our universe and I believe that God is true as well.I think that spells are really just the magnetic power of our minds attracting to us what we put out there and that should go along with gifts from God.I mean what is the difference between a prophet and a fortune teller.My problem is with organized religion.I have no problem with God.

Answer 7

I'm Jewish. I believe that there is one non-physical, all-knowing, and all-powerful God. I do not believe God ever takes a physical form, or needs to. I believe that we should do good to others, for ourselves, and to the physical world. Jews don't really believe in heaven or hell; we believe that what matters is what we do in THIS world, how we treat others, how we treat ourselves, and whether or not we take care of the planet - I suppose we're the original Green religion ;-)

Shalom!

Answer 8

Why do I believe in my religion? Well, I believe that God is the same, yesterday, today, and forever. My Church teaches that. I believe that since God does not change, we should still have revelation today. My Church teaches that. I believe very strongly that family is very important. My Church teaches that.

Answer 9

I believe in God the same way I believe in the wind I can't see it, but I know that it is there and has power.

Answer 10

I used to be an atheist.

Over time I investigated the evidence for God, and ultimately became a Christian Theist.
