Why should I believe in a god? Which god? and why? I'm considering god, but need a rational reason to actually believe. I would never take blind faith, as you could end up in any religion just dependant on the influence around you. Anyway, I'm searching, but need a rational way to decide. [/quote] First ask yourself what you believe in ..? Why do believe what yo do? How do you know what you believe in is true... You should start out reading the Book of JOB in the BIBLE Realize you worship GOD in spirit Realize that the fear of GOD is the beginning of wisdom. The Fear that you realize is the fear of being seep rated from him. [/quote] Welcome to brainwashing 101 [/quote] The BRAINWASH comes from what is spoon fed to you from the world..... That is why we live in -a sick, world that has always needed a healer, and millions of people have been healed by him... [/quote] Honestly, the people who have been spoon fed are the ones who get sucked into religion. For most, however, it's not really their fault. Religion is generally passed down from generation to generation and it's what people grow up with. They, in turn, pass it down...and so forth and so on. I don't believe people have been healed by "him." I see it more as a religious placebo effect. Never underestimate the power of thought. [/quote] your so wrong.... GOD is not a Religion... GOD is a Creator his Laws in the Universe and on earth were ordained by himself in the heavens.... Religion might be passed down but Faith is not... religion does not hold you to a life of repentance, faith, righteousness and Change of heart...Sincere faith does..... That is why you see so many people identify with an organized faith living a life of total un-righteousness.... The Church is not a religion, it is a people both Jew and Gentile united together in one true faith of Jesus Christ..... You don't understand because you are not of the church... If you don,t think millions of people over the last 2000 years have been healed by faith in Christ and still our daily, you truly live in a isolated world. [/quote] You contradicted yourself in this response. But anyway, what about the people before 2000 years ago. Were any of them saved? Were any of them healed? If so, how? Jesus wasn't around. By the way, regarding Christianity, this is a religion that largely "borrowed" from the Pagans so that, because of familiarity with symbols etc., it would be easier for Pagans to convert to Christianity. It's a common theme with many religions, not just Christianity. [/quote]
