why do you make that assumption? you haven't even answered my question and you're already saying that i wont be convinced. My goal is to understand why people believe in God. So im really curious about how God helped you such that you started to believe.

Originally posted by ƒlame:So, are you satisfied with it ?
It's normal to see young people being devoted to god, and willing to live their life for him.
And, whatever floats your boat though

Nah, I'm just asking him to find answers for himself.

I mean if you want to be convinced, go and try it first-hand.

finding answers is exactly what im trying to do, if you'd help me
I am not a christian but I believe God is the creator of the earth. God created human beings.

Ok so TS wants to know why christians are christians. Why ? Because the Lord is always with me, knowing that makes me in peace, though if i'm not sure if it is convincing to you. I won't force you, just try and visit the youth church tmr or sunday and see for yourself if it's really suitable for you.

but how did you Start believing?

Everyone is different, for me, I decided to have faith in God and wait patiently for his blessings.

yes but what was the catalyst for your faith? What was the turning point?
Originally posted by HyperionDCZ:yes but what was the catalyst for your faith? What was the turning point?
Turning point... Hmm, I don't know if you will believe it but I was a rascal during my lower sec times, I left God for my friends. Well, it was a bad choice made by me as I'm starting to suffer now because of my past. During the end of last year, for me, I realised that without the Lord, I was suffering all along and doing all the stupid things. I decided to go back to church and regain my faith. It worked out and even though I had some stupid setbacks nowadays, I felt happy inside because I know that God had help me through these times and given me the faith i needed to continue this path. If I were to think now, if i hadn't go back to church and continue being wildful, maybe this wouldn't turn out like this.
I am a christian because I like to deceive myself that there is a God(Dog) in this world

Have you ever sincerely ask youself if the transformation is truly brought about by your believe in christianity? I am sure you must pray a lot for god to help you. But do you always get what you prayed for?
Matthew 21:22 -- And whatever you ask in prayer, you will receive , if you have faith
If not then it shows that you do not have faith; or have you may be the god is just not at home
I also christian for 6-7 years
in the end ..got nothing le
but donated moines to church

In Jesus i behold the face of God, He is the truth , the everlasting truth. God in the flesh, i know that in his life, death and resurrection i'm reconciled to God, the giver of life. I believe that nothing can separate me from the love of God. He has all power and goodness. I trust him in his promise. To him i offer my life, damaged or whole, belief or full of years, it matters not. He is the one certain thing in an uncertain world. He is to be worshipped, not so somethign will happen to me or to the world (something indeed had already happened to me and to the world? but because he is God, who through Christ has reconciled the world to himself. He saved me, he is my justification, he is the center that holds in my life.
To worship God of my salvation, to offer sacrifices of praise and thanksgiving, that alone is my vocation. I offer my life to God, not so as to be healthy, wealthy or wise. I offer my life to Him because he alone had claim me!

Why he would need people to worshipped him if he is omni-everything and there is no certainty that he will reward his worshippers. The the whole action of worshipping is farce. The only justification I can think of is,

what is worship means to you? simply bowing down? true worshippers know how and why they worship and i don't have to tell this to you.

why should one justify his belief to you?
I tink now going to church is just
to feed the pastors
they get richer and members get poorer
does that make sense?
Is that What christianity all about?
