easy....how do you know that the chair you are sitting in will hold you up? How do you know that the water you drink will quench your thirst. FAITH. We have a loving God that shows us through his word that if we believe in him and call upon him we will have an eternal home with him.
Christianity was not built on knowledge, nothing is. Christianity was built on faith.
Even science was built on faith in human-created numbers and human-logic.
The truth is that we can't prove anything is true, because we can't even prove that our own existence is true, and that this who thing isn't just some illusion.
Faith propels the world, false belief in fact and ignorance leads us to chaos.
in the deep of their heart they are so confused with their religion and cannot understand it 100%. but they have to accept it because they got used to it and they think that any thing different to what they used to believe could destroy their life.
Because you can feel it. No kidding. I've been going through a hard time so I prayed to God that he would explain to me what I should do. I opened my Bible and RIGHT THERE was the answer! I didn't have to dissect it, or try to figure it our. It was RIGHT there!! God is Good!
Everybody said faith, and that is true, I live by faith and not by sight. But how do I know that its true? The evidence is in my life, how God has taken me from a wretched leech on society to the person I am now. How the Holy Spirit worked on me and constantly drew me closer, even when my own faith dwindled down when my prayers didn't seem to work. How God came through for me in ways that cannot be explained by anything else. All of this cant even begin to describe how real God is or how good he's been to me. An entire lifetime couldn't explain it all.
There's only one way to know, and that's to accept Jesus into your life, you'll never regret it, I promise.
If you talking about Pauline Christianity than its most likely fake. Paul called "THE LAW OF MOSES" a curse, remember?THIS IS HERESY.
If one is truly to be a christian,follower of Christ, then we should learn and teach from what Jesus said. He teach ed to LOVE GOD, OBEY THE COMMANDMENTS,LOVE ONE ANOTHER. NOW THAT IS TRUE!
Smile... at the answers so far
Many say faith, which is simply belief.
Many people believed the world was flat.
And even devils believe there's one God.
Faith is the least of "faith hope charity".
And there's two sorts of faith in Rom 1:17.
And the law is not of faith: Galatians 3:12.
And the just shall "live"(not die) by faith.
Dying to the law is becoming "alive" unto God.
Alive unto Grace isn't believing, it's knowing.
Not to mention "false Christs shall arise".
If believed, it makes for false Christianity.
I'm all for Christianity, but true Christianity,
unto the full measure of the stature of Christ,
who is the head of the body, not a wagging tail.
What's needed is more scrutiny, less mutiny.
Evangelist: make full proof of thy ministry.
And if it's not all truth, then it's leavened,
and a little leaven leavened the whole lump.
Approved unto God isn't via believing lies.
Approved, unto God, is notably via "study".
Study reveals try(test) the false/true spirits,
to know which is witch, prior to believe either.
For taking err global can lead to global sorrows.
And such is called latter end "worse", not better.
I welcome the challenge of Muslims, and atheists.
And challenge Christians to scrutinize each other.
The "grace" of our Lord Jesus Christ with you all. Amen.
how many religions have you investigated fully and honestly?
what will you do with JESUS?
what will you do if this world age ends in a couple of years? shouldn't you be searching for truth instead of playing like you really care about any of this?
THe first 4 books of the NT is the happenings and teachings of Jesus Christ. It was written by eye witness accounts, and is also based on 1000's of eye witness accounts. The books were published and circulated to many people that witnessed Jesus, so the writers had everything to lose by lying. If anyone were to claim they know better what is in the NT is lying. Simple as that. Showing faith in Jesus, like going out and getting baptized simply for the reaqson because it is something he did, can have interesting results. Show a little faith in what the NT, Jesus, and what the spirit says, and you get rewarded in really cool ways. It's to the point now, with me, where Jesus and God speaks to me from Heaven. They are my family.
The Tebetan Book Of THe Dead helps me to see the truth. Buddha's wisdom was such that he knew that it takes compassion and guidance to help someone who is going through a death-to-life experience, weather it is a spiritual death, digital death, or otherwise. That is why God sent Jesus. Christians absorb the deity of Christ in his death and they have God's guidance and compassiion through Christ to help them become reborn. Through knowing the phylosophy, you can understand God's Buddha-like love for us.
