1.Jesus is the only way to God, John 14:6
This invariably means those who don't believe in Jesus have no business in heaven.
Christians worldwide have an estimated population of 2.4billion people
Islam records an estimate of 1.9 billion adherents, Hindu has an estimated 1.1bn adherents. The remaining world's population have their own beliefs which includes atheism.
If Jesus is the only way to God, what happens to those who don't believe in him? Hell? Well, the Bible suggests so.

2. There are a lot of complications and contradictory remarks in the Bible- a verse says don't drink, another says "Drink for your stomach sake", or "Do not drink wherein excess."
Malachi 3:10 a famous Bible verse on tithing speaks about bringing your tithe to the storehouse (church, maybe)
Deuteronomy 14:22-26 says otherwise, it says "you should drink and be merry with your tithe". I'm seriously beginning to doubt the credibility of the Bible. Maybe the translators' fault or God told writers different stories on the same issue. Read Matthew, Mark, Luke and John's account of Jesus and see real contradictions.

3. Does God answer prayers? Well, I'm not really sure about that. Someone might be suffering from malaria, the person takes drugs and still prays, the drugs work, but the person thanks God. Or a successful surgical operation, instead of thanking the doctor, they thank God. Some illnesses that would have been treated led to deaths because a certain congregation who were supposed to take the ill persons to the hospital, circled around praying. Faith without work isn't it still dead?
I remember when I had stomach ulcer, it was really terrible, I prayed and made several promises to God that if He took away the ulcer, I'd drink no more alcohol and will be more devout in worshipping Him. That didn't solve anything though, I stopped drinking and took to taking my drugs more seriously. Weeks later, I was well. I returned to drinking and after a few months, the ulcer resurfaced. That was when I realized I really needed to quit drinking. Prayers wouldn't have solved that issue.
I spent 80% of 2019 at home because of my misgivings about God's existence.
I really wish I could be convinced about God's existence because I'm not even happy to be away from Church because of the views of friends and family.

4. Children of God, or so called children of God tend to suffer more tribulations, hard times and desperate moments, a lot of them scream "Vanity upon Vanity" when secular people live in luxury or spend extravagantly. God tends to turn his back on those who worship Him especially when they need Him most.
The 1933 Holocaust and mass murder of Jews to the tone of 6m was a clear indication that God turns His eyes against His people

I don't know how to convince you brother, but I can tell you there is God. I have called upon God in my darkest moments in life and He answered me, no jokes.

For example, after wedding my wife, I wanted to know if God truly approved our marriage, so I did a fleece, demanding for a certain thing to happen, lo and behold, that thing happened; a contract I was seeking for some time with no result, few days after my wedding, the contract got approved and money paid, I mean huge money to my shock, and it was my request from God.

I think God answers our prayers by searching through out heart to know if we truly need an answer to that prayer, I maybe wrong because I am not God.


But all I know is God is real, the world is more mysterious, spiritual than physical or ordinary.


I am not righteous, but even in my dirt and sin, I don't joke with God because I know that the little of what I am today is God's grace.


I have close friends who are true reflection that God is real.

Don't be discouraged to stop believing in God no matter what you are passing through now, believe with me today, if you go back to God personally and seek His face, He will reveal Himself to you mighty.


The ulcer stuff is not enough reason for you not to trust God.

Remember what happened in the Bible, when Lazarus the close friend of Jesus fell sick and was dying. Lazarus sisters sent for Jesus that He should hurry and come that his friend Lazarus is dying, Jesus Christ ignored them until Lazarus died and got buried and was even decaying in his tomb, then Jesus arrived and Lazarus sisters werent happy with Jesus. They told him Lazarus has died and buried days ago, Jesus told them to take him to Lazarus tomb where he was buried, they told Jesus he will be smelling due to decay, Jesus got there and called Lazarus to rise up and live and Lazarus woke up and was untied from the tomb.

Why did Jesus delayed and didn't hurriedly went to answer Lazarus sisters to heal Lazarus before he died He wanted to glorify his father in heaven by showing them that God does not only heal the sick but God also raise the dead to life.


Same happened at Galilee when Jesus Christ mother asked him to turn water to wine, Jesus told his mother, my time has not yet come. So everything in life has a time, patience is required even getting answers to your prayers but never you give up your faith in God through Jesus Christ.

The last discovered skeleton of early man was carbon dated 70,000 years old and the skeleton was a woman's of African heritage. Even the Catholic church has hinted at their support of the theories and evidences that humans have existed for more than 6,000 years. I think the church knows this but stating otherwise will shake the foundations of many faithfuls.

That's the problem. There are too many other beliefs out there to pick one and side with it without strong evidence. Its like a judge who rules in favor of a defendant that provided faith as evidence. It doesn't make any sense. It's not like you have been around the world to test every faith before arriving at the conclusion that the bible holds the absolute truth, it is more like "I don't know the real truth but let me believe this one because it was passed down to me or I grew up in a geographical area where all my peers are of the faith

Apart from the fact that all radiometric dating assumes that the Earth has always been the way it is today (except for the 20th century with the explosion of nuclear technology and fossil fuel burning), which assumption is problematic, radiocarbon dating is actually accurate only up to fifty or sixty thousand years, not more. So, you already have a problem on your hands with that claim.

I'm not a Roman Catholic, and not for lack of opportunity, so your invocation of Roman authority in this is not very persuasive, even if that church had actually declared, not merely hinted, the support you alluded to.

I don't need to taste excreta to know that it is not food. I don't need to put a gun in my mouth and pull the trigger to know what suicide is like. It is not necessary to test every single thing there is in order to know some things for sure. The Truth is true. When you find something to be true, there is no need to ask what other claims are out there. If that were so, no court cases could ever be decided. Some arguments and testimonies can be immediately declared useless, inadmissible, unnecessary, irrelevant, or downright idiotic just by hearing of them. That way, only what needs to be heard and considered makes its way to the courtroom.

The same way, just looking at the world around me and at my own self tells me what kind of claims make sense to entertain and what kind doesn't. That is how one comes to the Bible. The Bible adequately explains everything we find in ourselves and in the world around us. That satisfies me and gives me something solid to stand on. My confidence, trust, or faith in the Bible is based on reality. Of course, I cannot prove everything the Bible claims, but I know that what I do see in myself and the world around me points me to the Bible, not to the Qur'an, or to any other philosophy or religion.

OP. what you 're passing through is what's called the hour of spiritual decission. its either you sink, or you soar higher. salvation is personel, i pray the Lord give you the grace of an overcomer. though its true you may never 've a perfect understanding of the bible, but i can assure you can never be an atheist. God is real.

Wane2:
As for me, I say to each his own belief, I personally won't come to poke holes in people's beliefs and religion, you can believe in everything or believe in nothing, I don't care as long as you don't try to force anything on me, because I will never try to force anything on anyone.
If I'm an atheist don't try to force any religion on me and if I'm practising any religion don't try to make me loose faith, it's as simple as that, if everyone could just mind their business and face their own beliefs you wouldn't be hearing of religious clashes, but this damned human society can never fücking mind their business.
We should all try to be moral than religious. As we all should know morality is different from religion, but that's an explanation for another day.

don’t be dumb bro. How do we have mosquitos and flies ?

How do you think the earth was formed

Do you ask yourself maybe if there was a natural disaster at one time which divided the continents?

Do you know earth is about 3.5-6 billion years old ?

Do you even know the oldest fossil found dates back to over 300,000 years ago ? (Christianity or Adam wouldn’t even be created then)

There are alot of things wikipedia will expose you to only if you dedicate your time into thorough research

The koko is that even science cannot explain the origin of life. These so called scientists are just observing the obvious or speculating on what happened? most of their theory are just observation or their discoveries are accidental. a science discovery can be oil and water do not mix. How do they know how accurate carbon dating is ? How accurate is carbon dating ?is the same people that cannot fully explain how the universe keep operating or believe that humans evolved from ape? if man was still evolving , we should developed wings to fly by now. As advance science is, no or how the earth keep rotating at precision?
