Support Christian morals but have hard time believing?

What would you say to people who agree with Christian morality, yet have a hard time believing in God and Jesus Christ? I feel pulled towards Christianity and the Bible, but I never got to the point where I honestly believe.

Hmmm....There are many things I could say...

Well, I would ask why don't you "honestly believe"?

Peace.

Do u understand the concept of christianity? www.livingwater.com/good/

Also, u may want to visit www.TheBibleProofBook.com, read The Evidence That Demands A Verdict by Josh McDowell (has overwhelming circumstantial evidence of bible), Examine the Evidence by Muncaster (a former athiest).

I can show u evidence but it may or may not change your will.

I would say to them if you want to believe then ask God to help you do so.

Dear Golden Maven. What do you find so hard to believe? Christianity is straightforward: Love God with all our hearts, with all our souls, and with all our minds. That comes easy enough, if we consider that God made us in His image, He loves us, and we are the only beings in this Universe, who can think and reason, we know the difference between Good, and NOT GOOD. The Commandment like the first,is, Love our neighbour, as we love ourselves. That does not seem easy, but we have years to learn, we have Jesus to help and guide us, and we have a Heavenly Father who forgives us every time we stumble or fail, if we ask Him sincerely, and also forgive others, as God forgives us. We start by treating all we know and meet, as we would like to be treated ourselves. Jesus will know how truly we try, and Jesus will give us His Love, His Joy and His Peace, to share with each other. Once we truly start to do this, we will find that it becomes easier and easier, we will enjoy life and get better and better. Unless we try, we will never know, Golden Maven. I say this with love and gentle encouragement. Greetings from Emmy, sister in Christ.

We all believe in something, so what must you stop believing to open your door to Christ?

Folks that follow their own passions, stain their consciences and harden their hearts such that
they lose their ability to discern spiritual things. Is it a waste to cling to what can be seen, knowing
that all that can been seen is fleeting at best, or to cling to what cannot be seen - eternal truth?

That they (like a lot of Christians for that matter) haven't really understood Christian morality. A real Christian morality should make one ask "why on earth would somebody live like that?" to which the only suitable response is "because Christ is risen from the dead and New Creation has begun".

It sounds like God has allready touched your heart to become a believer, now your job is to find Him. It's not hard, as God is love. Ask God to reveal Himself to you and He will. I am so happy that you have come this far, and it will get easier as God reveals Himself little by little so it's not overwhelming. Bless you.

It's better than nothing, but I'd want those people to cross the finish line and believe. I'd want to know why they're having problems believing, so I could clear something up if they're open to talking with me about that.

First post here, i'll try and place nice by the rules.

Why do you need to believe to support the moral code of Christianity? The moral code outlined by most interpretations of Christianity are worthy things shared by most people in the world regardless of their religion.

Why not try and be a good person without the need for a god? If belief comes it should come naturally and without being forced.

Before you reach that stage though I would recommend you also spend some time on other forums speaking to atheists, deists, agnostics, pagans, Muslims, etc, in order to find what world view fits best with your beliefs.

You're not a Christian and so should not be posting responses in this forum.

Peace.

The rules of Exploring Christianity are that only Christians may respond to the question.
