Thoughts
on Why I Believe
The Experience:
Becoming a born again Christian
believer has been a life changing experience for me. What I have
experienced is more than just a philosophy or good idea, but has been a
very real experience. There has been for me an experience of heart,
soul, and mind that is as real as physical experience. I have also
experienced life events that I believe have involved the intervention of
GOD. Try it and I think you will find the same, see this message
for more information.
Inner Void:
Quite often people refer to "something
missing" or an "inner void", which I believe is a built in need for GOD,
that GOD has placed within all of us. If you are experiencing this
see this message for more information.
Fulfilled Prophesy:
Numerous Biblical prophesies have
been fulfilled and several that didn't even make sense until recent developments
of technology remain to be fulfilled.
Signs & Wonders:
GOD has performed many miracles
throughout time, and continues to perform miracles to this day.
The Creation:
The creation bears evidence of the
creator. This sounds simplistic or even like circular logic, but
I believe it is true. See Thoughts
on Atheism for more information.
Visible Evil:
A lot of the events around us really
don't make any sense unless there is some evil motivating force behind
it. If there is a Devil there must be a GOD. Have you ever
noticed that people are very comfortable with non-christian religions or
even christian religions until they confront sin or mention the name of
Jesus, why do you think that is? The treatment that the Jewish people
and persecution of christians throughout history I believe is further evidence
of this.
Collaboration:
Numerous prophets independently
contributed to Holy Scripture providing pieces that fit together in a way
that no man could have foreseen or arranged. There is also collaboration
in the form of several witnesses, for example hundreds of people saw Jesus
after he had raised from the dead, as well as different people at different
times.
Historical Accuracy:
Much skepticism over the accuracy
of events described in the Bible has been forced back by increasing archaeological
evidence.
Brutal Honesty:
When man writes a story the protagonists
don't do bad things, but in the Bible chosen men of GOD did bad things
like murder and lying.
Functionality:
The principles of the Bible always
work, even things that seem backwards or counter intuitive. Nations
that adhere to Biblical principles are always blessed, and nations that
don't never prosper.
The beliefs expressed are my own,
and are intended to open the hearts of unbelievers to receive revelation
of the truth of GOD and salvation. I do not intend to represent myself
as an absolute authority or expert. I believe that the Holy Bible
is the infallible word of GOD and that the information provided here is
borne out by this word, but don't take my word for it, always test everything
said against the Holy Word of GOD. Please e-mail Here
with any comments or additional reasons to believe (or not believe) that
you may have.
