how to believe more im Jesus?

[Kostilaks]

I cant find evidence that confirms 100% His existence. Scriptures, I think, say stuff like to have faith but how to have faith when I do not know if the Scriptures are valid?

 

[Gregorikos]

The historical evidence is overwhelming. For instance....

Tacitus on Christ - Wikipedia

Josephus on Jesus - Wikipedia

 

[Jamesone5]

Start with your obvious basic Faith in God who you certainly cannot see, but are born with a sense that He is real. As Faith is "the evidence of things not seen" {Hebrews 11:1 b]--- It is plainfully obvious by that logical truth how should build your Faith from there.

You are at least seeking truth.

It's all about believing in His word even when you"re in doubt. I'd say pray specifically about that and wait upon The Lord.

 

[Of the Kingdom]

I cant find evidence that confirms 100% His existence.

... and you never will. In this world, we must walk by faith, not by sight. Deep in your spirit, you have been touched by God. Your mind will sometimes trust the spirit, but when difficulty comes there will be doubt.

As you make an effort to reach out to God, you will have evidence of the change in your own life. Together with the overwhelming historical evidence that something very unusual happened in Israel 2000 years ago, that should satisfy your desire for evidence most of the time.

May the Lord bless you and keep you, and make His face to shine upon you.

Pliny the Younger, Letters 10.96-97
Pliny the Younger to the Emperor Trajan
It is my practice, my lord, to refer to you all matters concerning which I am in doubt. For who can better give guidance to my hesitation or inform my ignorance? I have never participated in trials of Christians. I therefore do not know what offenses it is the practice to punish or investigate, and to what extent. And I have been not a little hesitant as to whether there should be any distinction on account of age or no difference between the very young and the more mature; whether pardon is to be granted for repentance, or, if a man has once been a Christian, it does him no good to have ceased to be one; whether the name itself, even without offenses, or only the offenses associated with the name are to be punished.

Meanwhile, in the case of those who were denounced to me as Christians, I have observed the following procedure: I interrogated these as to whether they were Christians; those who confessed I interrogated a second and a third time, threatening them with punishment; those who persisted I ordered executed. For I had no doubt that, whatever the nature of their creed, stubbornness and inflexible obstinacy surely deserve to be punished. There were others possessed of the same folly; but because they were Roman citizens, I signed an order for them to be transferred to Rome.

Soon accusations spread, as usually happens, because of the proceedings going on, and several incidents occurred. An anonymous document was published containing the names of many persons. Those who denied that they were or had been Christians, when they invoked the gods in words dictated by me, offered prayer with incense and wine to your image, which I had ordered to be brought for this purpose together with statues of the gods, and moreover cursed Christ--none of which those who are really Christians, it is said, can be forced to do--these I thought should be discharged. Others named by the informer declared that they were Christians, but then denied it, asserting that they had been but had ceased to be, some three years before, others many years, some as much as twenty-five years. They all worshipped your image and the statues of the gods, and cursed Christ.

They asserted, however, that the sum and substance of their fault or error had been that they were accustomed to meet on a fixed day before dawn and sing responsively a hymn to Christ as to a god, and to bind themselves by oath, not to some crime, but not to commit fraud, theft, or adultery, not falsify their trust, nor to refuse to return a trust when called upon to do so. When this was over, it was their custom to depart and to assemble again to partake of food--but ordinary and innocent food. Even this, they affirmed, they had ceased to do after my edict by which, in accordance with your instructions, I had forbidden political associations. Accordingly, I judged it all the more necessary to find out what the truth was by torturing two female slaves who were called deaconesses. But I discovered nothing else but depraved, excessive superstition.

I therefore postponed the investigation and hastened to consult you. For the matter seemed to me to warrant consulting you, especially because of the number involved. For many persons of every age, every rank, and also of both sexes are and will be endangered. For the contagion of this superstition has spread not only to the cities but also to the villages and farms. But it seems possible to check and cure it. It is certainly quite clear that the temples, which had been almost deserted, have begun to be frequented, that the established religious rites, long neglected, are being resumed, and that from everywhere sacrificial animals are coming, for which until now very few purchasers could be found. Hence it is easy to imagine what a multitude of people can be reformed if an opportunity for repentance is afforded.

Trajan to Pliny the Younger
You observed proper procedure, my dear Pliny, in sifting the cases of those who had been denounced to you as Christians. For it is not possible to lay down any general rule to serve as a kind of fixed standard. They are not to be sought out; if they are denounced and proved guilty, they are to be punished, with this reservation, that whoever denies that he is a Christian and really proves it--that is, by worshiping our gods--even though he was under suspicion in the past, shall obtain pardon through repentance. But anonymously posted accusations ought to have no place in any prosecution. For this is both a dangerous kind of precedent and out of keeping with the spirit of our age.

it is all very logical after you understand the objective since the objective drives everything, but for Christians you have the indwelling Holy Spirit?

you know, people say:
1 time happens - just coincidence
2 times - maybe coincidence
3 times - its a rule

its was my foundation, when i started search truth.
it never wasnt enough just to believe.
i wanted more - something i could touch, taste, feel, see.
so, soon i have read Bible and wondered, how to test Bible, is it true or not, i just did what Jesus teach.
There is "if" and "then"
then i went further and wanted more...
John 14
19 Before long, the world will not see me anymore, but you will see me.
21 Whoever has my commands and keeps them is the one who loves me. The one who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I too will love them and show myself to them.

was next step - i didnt asked it, but i hoped.
there was time, when NOT seeing Jesus in vision, at least once per day, made me panic.
In real He was near me 3 times.
first was just touch
second - He came down, through walls, to me
third - He stand next to me, when i had to write prophecy.

(i always forgot last meeting 2 years ago, so those were 3 first times)

just saying - Jesus promised to us meet us here, on earth. If we must believe, without seeing Him, then why to promise it?
there is even simple things, we dont understand rightly and just, that i totally , with all my heart, seek Him - He keep He's promise :
Proverbs 8:17
I love those who love me, and those who seek me find me.
there is nothing "too much" for God. And He love make surprises and gifts - He just adore it.

so the base of Christianity which is distinct from other religions is that only God is outside of time so he used his atribute - foreknowledge to let us know that he exists and give us evidence.

There are literally hundreds of prophecy of Jesus written by people who never knew each other and lived in different places yet they all speak of the same one guy who would come at exactly appointed time to fullfill them, so Scriptures validate Jesus and God while Jesus reveals the truth to us .

You will not find fulfilled prophecy in any of other religions.

I think it would be good to think carefully what are you going to believe. Jesus says in the Bible this:

If anyone listens to my sayings, and doesn't believe, I don't judge him. For I came not to judge the world, but to save the world. He who rejects me, and doesn't receive my sayings, has one who judges him. The word that I spoke, the same will judge him in the last day.
John 12:47-48

There is difference in believing that Jesus is real to receiving what he said. I think it is not really about believing, but about understanding correctly what Jesus said. After all, for example, if you would believe Jesus exists, but you would still murder steal and lie, would it really be useful to believe in the existence? Bible tells that even demons believe and I don’t think it is for good.

You believe that God is one. You do well. The demons also believe, and shudder.
James 2:19

Bible tells eternal life is for righteous. And I think that is greater than belief.

These will go away into eternal punishment, but the righteous into eternal life.
Mat. 25:46

For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Romans 6:23

Righteousness is like right understanding and attitude that makes person do right and good things. I think that is important thing. And this is why, I think person should understand correctly what Jesus said. The correct understanding leads to good actions. So, instead of asking is Jesus real, I would ask, are his teachings good. Jesus said for example that we should love our neighbor as ourselves. Is that good teaching and do you accept it, or would you accept it only if you would know surely that Jesus exists?

He who does righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous. He who sins is of the devil, for the devil has been sinning from the beginning. To this end the Son of God was revealed, that he might destroy the works of the devil. Whoever is born of God doesn't commit sin, because his seed remains in him; and he can't sin, because he is born of God. In this the children of God are revealed, and the children of the devil. Whoever doesn't do righteousness is not of God, neither is he who doesn't love his brother.
1 John 3:7-10

It is not a problem, if you are not sure of his existence. The real problem is, if you are not righteous, if you don’t understand correctly what is good and right and if you don’t want to do what is good and right. If you are loyal (faithful) to Jesus and God, you love your neighbor as yourself and that I think is enough.

All though I don’t think it is a problem, if one has difficulties to believe, which is quite easy to understand when one sees how evil is so strong in this world. The reason why I believe Jesus exists is his teachings and wisdom. If he would not be real and existing, I don’t think we would have the teachings that are in the Bible. And for me, the teachings are the important thing.

 

[Redbucket55]

For anyone to be close to Jesus they have to mature in the spirit and become familiar with it cause the holy spirit is what connects us to him and give us his characteristics and how Jesus is manifested in us and throughout us...and only the holy spirit can help us understand scriptures..since the spirit guides us in all truths and errors...

I believe where you need to start then is with the canon itself. How can you learn before you can trust? An examination of the canon will be helpful for you.

Canon

There are a plethora of books on the topic.
