I don't believe in God and I don't understand how anyone can.  I'm more logical like the character Bones.

I wholeheartedly believe in the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.  I could never have gotten through half my life's experiences without.

I believe in the Father God, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.  I accepted Christ as my Savior as a young child, more than 60 years ago.  As I grew up, I would question the Bible, not so much because I didn't believe it but because I wanted to learn the truth.  I would hear so many different interpretations of Scripture.  But I have never found in all my studies anything that would deter me from believing in God and his Son, Jesus Christ.  If you are a Christian and have a thorough understanding of the Bible (or as close as possible), you would see why there has to be all three.  I also know that non-believers are hard to convert because they believe what they want to believe so that they can be the center of their own universe.  That is why I do not consider myself a "Bible-thumper" or a religious nut.  I will share my faith if anyone asks or if I feel someone is ready to hear it.  I will write about it or talk to fellow believers.  (Missions to other countries is another story.  People in this country have been exposed to Christianity in one form or another since this country was settled by the early settlers, but people in some countries have never heard of God.).  Therefore, I don't believe it arguing with a non-believer till I am blue in the face because it will not change them.  They have already made up their minds.  I am reminded of an old story I read many years ago.  A young boy was helping an old lady across the street.  She was impressed and asked him if he was a Boy Scout.  He replied, "No, ma'am, I'm a Christian."


Good point. I have not heard a lot of Christians say this. Some Christians feel like as a believer it is our duty to get as many people saved as possible. Personally, I will give my testimony if it comes up or if someone asks, I've learned not to debate what i believe or what I believe the bible to say. And to answer the question I was always taught there is only one way to the Father (God) and that is through Christ Jesus, so yes I believe in Jesus. When I meet people who don't believe in Jesus, that's fine for them, it's their choice.

I believe in G-d but not Jesus. The Jews believe he was born a Jew and died a Jew but not in the `Masia' (or  however you spell it.)

Take your debates and freedoms of religeons......

WHILE giving the prophecy about the sign of his presence and of the conclusion of the system of things, Jesus said: “Just as the days of Noah were, so the presence of the Son of man will be.” (Matthew 24:3, 37) Clearly, Jesus foretold that what is happening in our day has a parallel in Noah’s time. A reliable and accurate account of the events of Noah’s day can prove to be an invaluable treasure.

I have to answer no. No one can prove god exists. Until I die I cannot believe. Maybe I will find out after.

The Bible tells us to make disciples of the nations.  In John 4 Jesus is a beautiful example of an evangelist.  He initiates the conversation with a Samaritan woman and that's most often the case - you have to initiate.  This Samaritan was ignorant and uneducated and thought she worshiped God.  Jesus said to her, "you worship what you do not know."  Anyone who believes in God but not Christ is going to be eternally damned.  Does the Bible not teach us to consider others as more important than ourselves?  Our hearts should break for the unsaved.

If you knew about the terrorist attacks on 9-11-11 a week before they happened would you have warned people?  To spare their life?

If we believe Hell to be the real place that it is, we should warn people.  We need to spread the gospel which is the only thing that saves; not my testimony, not your testimony.

We shouldn't desire for others salvation for their sake or our own - we should desire salvation for others so God gets the glory, the praise, the worship that He rightfully deserves.

For me God and Jesus is one unit.  I can't see the difference.

No one can prove evolution, either.  It's a theory.

The universe declares Gods majesty.  Look around you - God has more than enough evidence of Himself in creation itself so that all are without excuse.  The fool says in his heart their is no God.  People don't come to Christ because they love their sin.

God loved us so much that He gave the One He loved the most to die for our sins.  Christ humbly laid down His innocent life - He died so we could live.  He took the punishment we rightfully deserve - people don't go to Hell because of the sins they commit - they go because they failed to ask for and receive the free gift that is available to all.

Dedicate your life; give your heart to Christ.

I believe in the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. I was raised in the Christian church and I have not departed from it.  Not blindly, however.  I've had my questions over the years.
