I posted this in a discussion on one of my threads "what encourages you?" A user who does not believe, requested that I make known to him things that would reveal the purpose of believing in Christ. Of course he resorts back to saying that I have assumed the existence of god in order to validate my point. This not empirical evidence so if you read it as such, you will be very disappointed. These are the reasons one may accept the divinity undermining Christianity amongst a sea of other proclamations. Do not let me deceive you, as I do not wish to convince you which path is the one for you. I'm not trying to convince you Christianity is the one true religion because only you can decide for yourself, as I have.
[quote] it really has nothing to do with religion at all. Your relationships and the life you choose to live are separate from the body of believers, although we are all connected to Christ's body through faith in his Holy Spirit, as Christ being the head, of course. There's no word that will make you believe but it's the effort that can be witnessed of you in the relationship with Christ, by god. If you wish to be rewarded, do not seek Christ where all can see, for that is your only reward. Seek Christ in your heart and behind closed doors. God will then reward you openly with his favor and the many blessing he has promised is in the bible. His presence in our hearts is as obvious to our conscious mind as the stars are during the daytime, yet we expect them to outshine the sun that acts as a curtain to them. We suppress his light behind the light we are capable of shining leaving him as dim as the moon at the end of the month, rather than allowing him to shine out the darkness so we do not have to stumble anymore. We don't have to stumble trying to look for his light, because we can call upon it and by his grace, it's only desire is to guide us so that we are no longer swayed by the discouraging metaphorical night.
So, the questions questions remain, what makes christianity true and other religions false? What makes Jesus divine and other gods idols?
It comes down to the kingdom that is being advocated. According to history, Christianity established itself through gods will to promote his kingdom on earth. Many men came bearing the name of god on their swords rather than in their foreheads, not allowing god to be their sword, and not allowing their faith to be the grip of said sword, thus corrupting the sanctity of the purpose of the church. The purpose remains pure, but it is no longer seen as righteous for this reason. Christianity was never once promoted by Jesus. But the will of god and the kingdom of god and the salvation in his grace is the reigning purpose of his existence. There has been no messiah for Islam, though they expect one to appear soon. They anticipate the arrival will be accompanied by Jesus, but as the prophet. Submitting to this anticipation, they perceive that they must be ruthless in promoting their beliefs before this arrival. Unfortunately, we sense a similar ruthlessness was required to establish the religion of Christianity in the early centuries of the church age. Islam is the second largest religion in the world and these exercise vengeance and intolerance and hatred in the name of their god rather than allowing their "messiah" handle it when he gets here, as Christianity says Jesus will do. This is why spreading peace is more important that converting someone to a particular religion. This is why loving eachother and unifying as a species is more important than the division that we are witnessing. People are being dragged from their homes to be persecuted and executed for the sake of someone who they say could do it himself. There's no truth to what other religions speak or practice. Sacrilegious principals will be desecrated at the return of Christ, for they do not bring peace or glory to the father in heaven.
Hinduism worships idols as well, and the fact that a god would embody himself in a cow or an idol is purely luciferian. The story of the possessed men with demons that would rather be cast out into pigs than to be banished to hell shows us this falsehood proclaimed by many religious practitioners.
Buddhism accepts no gods and was conceived by the followers of a wise monk. The monk did not found this religion although the religion has been subjectively labeled "Buddhism". Christianity was subjectively named after the influence of Christ because his salvation was for Jews, Gentiles, and all people who accepted the Christ and abided by his teachings and honor him with their lives, as he did for the father.
Christianity was spread by the countenance and will of the Holy Spirit, that we find Jesus Christ, to rectify the habit of our sin and to objectify the authority of death and bondage to suffer the honor our salvation.[/quote]
Well I mean. Isn't like sience an stuf dat provs it cumon gash u athitits fgt[spoiler]seriously though look at katy perry's tits. Evolution didn't make that shit. You know some all mighty being gave her those tits till tuesday. [/spoiler]
The main proof I have is stuff written in the bible that we've only recently discovered in the last thousand years.
Like how could they have known about atoms, tectonic plates, currents in the ocean, the perfect ratio for an unsinkable ship that we use today, germs, ect.?
But that's enough for me, if you're really interested, honestly looking for truth. All you need to do is ask Him for someone to teach you and they'll come around. Not when you expect them to though of course. But if you're not serious, don't worry about it man, just love and have fun:)
How about this idea.
What if our minds/brains work like a receiving antenna?
&
what if consciousness is like a radio station that living organisms tune into?
Think about it...
(Sensory organs pick up external data, for example: eyes see light, which is external data. Your nose detects smells. I could go on.)
Your world has been 100% shaped by the external data you've perceived over the corse of your life.(regardless of who you are)
Idk But what if we are all that same original transmitting force, who is expressing and experiencing itself through living organisms.
Or everything is random
Or jesus
Or Siddhartha
Or goku
if you believe in multi verse theory than you believe in god
in fact while not specific science does not disprove god but actually proves him to exist
if we take multiverse theory it states that somewhere out their no matter how small the odds their is another you
the universe is infinite thus this is fact and has not been dis-proven
if multiple universes exist say you flipped a coin
in this universe you got tails, in the other you got heads
if each universe were to be different in some way to our own than by default god exist in one of these universes
even if for some reason he did not exist in this one
but science shows that with the multiverse theory proves gods existence
whether it has been taken from theory to law is still up to debate due to them not finding sufficient info to debunk it
nor can it be completely proven due to our lack of technology
also any advanced technology looks like magic to those who have yet to experience it in any way/ this also applys if we can not replicate or understand it. if a race with technology far beyond what we could comprehend came to our world, they could pass off anything they do as magic due to our limited understanding, miracles can be done with today's technology, information can be stored and accessed at speeds unimaginable, this makes both miracles and partial omnipotence possible
these views are strictly my own, they may or may not be biased due to a lack of information on my part
i am agnostic due to no religion being able to back their scripture, but science from what ive seen keeps me from atheism
hopefully this can sway your mind, if not i can atleast say i tried
