There are many ways to prove this.

When one approaches God in prayer and begs for an understanding of His Word,He responds.

Do you then believe everyone who approaches God in prayer and begs for an understanding will end up with the same beliefs as you?

No.They might have a deeper understanding or they might have a lesser one.Once blessed,some search for truth as one searches for gold.They look on the surface and pick up nuggets here and there,which is good.One that searches for truth as one that searches for silver will dig deeper and find riches beyond their imagination.Those who dig deep will be blessed with a deeper understanding about the Word of God.

Proverbs 2:3-5 .…3 For if you cry for discernment, Lift your voice for understanding; 4 If you seek her as silver And search for her as for hidden treasures; 5 Then you will discern the fear of the LORD And discover the knowledge of God.…

If there really was a god, there wouldn't be all of this confusion and multiple factions of belief.

There is a God, and of course there would be confusion still.That is satan's job.To confuse people and disrupt things.

I understand where you are coming from. I look at this as a non-dualist (God and creation are not-two). God separates Himself from Himself into finite forms and then returns Himself to Himself. It is all a divine/play drama and we are meant to use our reason and spiritual effort to return to the source. Early in the journey these finite forms may disagree on some things into factions. But the key point to all these factions if they're worth anything should be brotherly love, peace and unselfishness; the rest is just details. Brotherly love, peace and unselfishness whether you are an atheist, Christian, Hindu, etc. is taking you on the path to eternal peace.

Well I just saw the pictures of your cooking expertise. It looks so crazy good I'm going to immediately stop doubting anything you say about any biblical subject.

Curious: Do you work for a restaurant or something?

How about things like christian church leaders asking their members to offer more money so that they will be 'blessed' and you will be scolded for not doing so? Experienced that before.

I have compiled all of the reasons that caused me to become an ex-Christian. This list hits Christianity from every conceivable angle. It may not prove it false, but it does so beyond a reasonable doubt.

Hi there :)

I believe there are so many supposed reasons to doubt any religion or anything for that matter, but religion is based on believing. Believing is complicated. Sometimes things sound so very weird to you yet so reasonable to others. I believe that as long as people don't intent to do others harm, it is okay for them to believe in any religion or anything no matter what.

Christians are people just like you and me. They have feelings. They have their own personalities and ways of thinking. I ask of you to please consider that and try to not question their beliefs like that.

Forgive me for my rudeness.

Best regards.

Actually, I mistyped. I meant to say that something that causes one person to doubt, may not cause everyone to doubt. Sorry for the confusion on that.

No problem... it was a joke really. I should have put a smiley. My fault :)
