Moss:
I don’t get it, you don’t know why you believe what you believe or you don’t believe what you want to believe?

He doesn’t believe what he use to believe. Now he wants to believe what he doesn’t believe.

The short answer is “I don’t know “.

--- Quote from: JB Horn on November 06, 2018, 12:03:02 am ---Maybe I can help you out Obi, tell me what are your beliefs? If you post them on this forum you may find that there are people that agree with you and people that do not. If someone does not agree with you that it is proper for him or her to attack your beliefs using Scripture. If you here to continue your scientific debate, you've already lost that.

 So Obi tell me exactly what you believe and why are you having a hard time defending those beliefs?  Can you not defend what you believe using Scripture?


FYI I will only use the NAS translation.

Actually, I'm MarkD, I was only referring to obi-donkenobis posts from the original Does God Exist forum. Well, I'm not sure what I believe now. Obi-don said something that made sense me: that you cant use the Bible to confirm the Bible. You'd have to first believe the Bible is true but how can you do that without making sure that it is true, first? Like I said, I first believed the stories in the Bible because all my family and friends told me it was true, but when I asked them how they know that, they just said you have to have faith. When I was a kid these same people told me Santa Clause was real, and I believed them. Of course they were just playing a game to amuse me but I was pretty shocked when I found out it was just a gag. My friend said to look in my parent's closet and when I did I found my presents. So my question now is: is God real? I've searched the web and wasn't able to find anything very convincing. What evidence do you have that God is real?

Let me butt in, try this for a start: http://www.clarifyingchristianity.com/b_proof.shtml

C.S. Lewis had a story like yours, he did some research trying to disprove the bible, maybe that would work for you.
