    Yeah that's exactly my point though! What was it that made people accept it? We know other works of fiction are so because we've been told. But what was so convincing about this anthology of Christ? What was the thing that made you say "yes, this is true. Maybe some things were lost in...

    I looked into the cloth because of your post. It's really interesting, is definitely good for thought, but it's still not enough to convince me of Christianity. Definitely something within the realm of super natural, though. Those other miracles you mentioned I'll have to look more into...

    Hello again! I think I merged your response with someone else's by accident as I read everyone's at once. Eschatological, I learned a new word, and an interesting angle for me to approach things from. I think it's best to look at it top down since the foundational truths of the Bible have to be...

    While we do have a childish mindset and short life as compared to the eternal, man has the benefit of collective learning. The culmination of at least 6000 years of knowledge. I like to think of it as a 6000 year old discussion. That said, even in the face of eternity it's nothing, but I think...

    Thanks for the reply. Why do you say it's only a trial for those who don't acknowledge him?

Maybe submission is too strong a word here, but my intention remains the same...

    Hello all, I've just recently signed up on the site and am seeking reasons why people believe, in hopes that something will click with me and help me down my own path. In my introductory thread I considered maybe my image of heaven wasn't correct, and was advised to describe what I think here...

    Thanks! I'll try approaching it that way. I know it doesn't need to match her view, but I'm really trying to find the common ground because I know it'll bring us closer ultimately. In the eyes of an atheist, I see my lack of faith inconsequential. But in the eyes of a Christian, I know it's...

    Hi Tansy! Thanks for the reply. I wanted to be succinct with my feelings towards Christianity and thought that was the best way to describe it. The best way I can surmise my experience other than that, is my time at church feels like I'm trying to be guilted, scared, or bought into it. I can...

    First off, hello everyone. My name is Ryan and I came here looking for what everyone is: answers. Of course I don't expect it to be anything so straightforward but I suppose that will become clear by the end of my introduction. I also consider myself to be ignorant of many things and plebeian at...
