I agree that the world would be a much better place if everyone understood the word of God and believed in Him, but unfortunately that's not going to happen until the second coming of Christ! Even people who walked the Earth with Jesus and saw the miracles He performed and listened to His teaching didn't believe. If those who had first-hand knowledge refused to believe then how much more will people refuse to believe what is written in a book? It's very sad really. But there will be a day when every knee shall bow! I'm looking forward to that day! God bless you.

Humanity has yet to fully recover from the Christian movement. While the Bible does contain a lot of good messages for people to care for one another, other parts of it are a bunch of garbage. I mean think about it, assuming God exists, why would he only grant "authority" to some administration centered in the Vatican? It's A Scam. We don't need fancy stories or mundane, repetetive procedures every Sunday. We need love and respect for one another.

Man, I understand where your coming from.  I've studied other religions and looked into this Jesus and I've asked the same question and many more.  Jesus is special for a number of reasons.  Yes, there were many people who crucified as saviors before and after Jesus.  We still get people popping up claiming divinity.  The real question isn't so much as is Jesus the savior because he got a few books written about him, its why were there books written about him in the first place.  The most basic point anyone can show you is this...its not that Jesus died, its that he rose after his death.  And there is more evidence that he did actually rise 3 days later and not just Biblical evidence.  First off, the fact that the Roman leaders and armies wanted him gone, because it was the time of Pass Over which is the celebration of Jews getting out of Egypt, and at this time of year, the Jewish community gets a little out of hand, for the are now under the Roman rule.  So when Jesus comes in, and he's claiming to be their savior...the crowd thinks he's going to be a king and run the Romans out.  So, if Jesus didn't rise again, why did the Romans say nothing?  Why did the Jewish Pharaseas (please excuse my spelling) who pushed to have him killed, not stand up and say..."he's still dead!"?  What was it that gave Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John the confedance to step out of their hidding, for fear they were going to be crucified, and boldly speak of a living God, Jesus...and welcome their death?  These questions may seem weak, but if you really think about them and look at the history and try to get in the minds of all these people...only one thing makes since...Jesus is not dead...he rose, becoming a savior that no one expected, but a savior from ourselves.  Thats why Jesus is special, the others were saviors...they were fanatics.  There are a lot of other reasons why Jesus is special, but I honestly have the feeling that if this thought doesn't at least make you rethink the history, then anything else I say, will truly be pointless.

because people in Jesus time did not believe he was divine.\n\nhis followers saw him as a human messiah and it was only long afterwords was he called the son of god

I don't think that people understand his message and they take it way out of proportion. I saw a show on TV that says everything in the bible isn't true because back then no one could read or write anyways. Personally, I don't believe in the whole crock of it.

There will come a time when people will see Christ on the earth (millenium and after the millenium) and still refuse to believe Him.  Many of those who demanded "proof" will get it, and STILL reject God in the face of undeniable truth.  \n\n"...As it is written, The just shall live by faith.\n\nFor the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness.\n\nBecause that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath showed it unto them.\n\nFor the invisible things of Him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that THEY ARE WITHOUT EXCUSE:\n\nBecause that, when they knew God; they gloified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became conceited in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.\n\nProfessing themselves to be wise, they became fools."\n\nRomans 1:17-25\n\nReligion is not the answer.  Knowing God and His Son, Jesus Christ is the answer.

Many non-believers take an intellectual approach at refusing the Lord's Salvation. Their rationalization that salvation is for weak minded losers who can't handle their own problems and need a crutch is a dangerous thought contrary to the Word of God.\n\nRomans 14:11 For it is written, As I live, saith the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall confess to God. 12 So then every one of us shall give account of himself to God.\n\nAn interesting part of this scripture is use of the words "every" knee and "every" tongue. The word "every" means weak minded losers and corporate presidents, academic geniuses, world leaders and mega-millionaires and anyone else drawing breath. The Word paints with a wide brush its picture of who shall give account of himself to God.\n\nWhen the Apostle Paul wrote this he was not making up a story. When he said "it is written", he was quoting God. Isaiah 45:23 I have sworn by myself, the word is gone out of my mouth in righteousness, and shall not return, That unto me every knee shall bow, every tongue shall swear.\n\nYou must understand "the word is gone out of my mouth in righteousness, and shall not return," means what it says. He cannot and is not going to change his mind.\n\nNow that we have determined salvation is not for sissies, let's get to the good part.\n\nJohn 6:44 No man can come to me, except the Father which hath sent me, draw him: and I will raise him up at the last day.\n\nYou cannot be talked into making a decision for the Lord. Jesus said God will draw you. Take heed to your thoughts. Satan is pulling at you constantly with his deadly assertion that "there is not hurry. Enjoy yourself and worry about God later on." The evil one is very much involved in making sure you stay away from that Jesus stuff. \n\nJames 4:7 Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. 8 Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you.\n\nThe Lord, however, is a gentleman. He will gently nudge at your heart and allow the Holy Spirit to draw you in the right direction. It is important to yield to that that call before it is too late. When you do, good things will start to happen. Misery will turn to peace, joy will replace agony and the love of God will begin consuming your hurts.\n\nPhilippians 4:7 And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. \n\nAccording to this scripture, there is no measure of the peace you will have. Even you will have trouble grasping it because God's peace is a peace beyond our understanding.\n\n1 Peter 1:8 Whom having not seen, ye love; in whom, though now ye see him not, yet believing, ye rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory:\n\nJust as you will be unable to understand the peace in your heart, there will be not words to describe the joy you have received. What a marvelous gift from the giver of all givers. Amazingly, it is all free. Your peace and joy was bought and paid for by Jesus Christ on a cross at Calvary.\n\nAnother reason people have refused the call of the Lord is because they think God is too loving and caring to send them to hell. They simply are missing the boat with that thinking. God never sent anyone to hell. People send themselves to hell by not accepting God's free gift of salvation.\n\nDeuteronomy 30:19 I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live: \n\nThe bible clearly says we have a choice. By not accepting Jesus Christ as your personal savior you are making a conscious decision to choose hell over heaven. God gives you the options and then suggests you take the "life" route. Imagine what it would be like trying to explain away that scripture when you are on the judgement seat.\n\nGod wants you just the way you are. He

We call these people hypocrites.  Others may say, it is because people don't really understand the Bible and invent their own interpretation.  Then other want to act cool to others and do other things behind close doors.  Then others say "God gave us the choice to believe in Him or not to believe in Him.  In the end we all will be judge.

The questioner's point is that Jehovah God's Word the Bible explains clearly that this world, this system of things, is temporary and has no expectation of success for all humanity. Other gods and belief systems teach that this system is the one we are stuck with, yet such beliefs have been unsuccessful for thousands of years.\n\n(2 Corinthians 4:3,4) If, now, the good news we declare is in fact veiled, it is veiled among those who are perishing, among whom the god of this system of things has blinded the minds of the unbelievers, that the illumination of the glorious good news about the Christ, who is the image of God, might not shine through

People are afraid of things they dont understand. People who dont understand god, spend all their time trying to rationalize with logic why he doesnt exist, which will be a never resolving issue because god is too mysterious to rationalize.

Doesn't the bible preach acceptance and love... doesn't it also say that our job isn't to judge, because he will do that?\nMy question is, why worry about people being gay, when we can't take care of our own citizens... and parts of the world hate us so much they are willing to die to kill us?  Is it really that important?  I don't think so!

I have no problem with non-believers here.  I am not insulted by your presence; in fact, this may be the perfect setting for you.  I pray that God would speak to you in some way that you would believe in Him.  True Christians do not condemn others, however, love them and avoid saying hurtful things. However, I will not refrain from expressing how I feel about my personal relationship with God and how He has carried me through many difficult times.

Cause non-believers want to "show" believers how "false" their faith is. It's an anarchial type of trash maybe. HEY at least we have something to live for...as well as someone to live for.\n\nOR MAYBE just MAYBE...they realize you need to have faith in someone, specifically a higher being because man needs God. Jer. 10:23

Is this what you're getting at?\n\nRomans 5:1-21\n\nTherefore, having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom also we have access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God. And not only that, but we also glory in tribulations, knowing that tribulation produces perseverance; 4and perseverance, character; and character, hope. Now hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out in our hearts by the Holy Spirit who was given to us.\nFor when we were still without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly. For scarcely for a righteous man will one die; yet perhaps for a good man someone would even dare to die. But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. Much more then, having now been justified by His blood, we shall be saved from wrath through Him. For if when we were enemies we were reconciled to God through the death of His Son, much more, having been reconciled, we shall be saved by His life. And not only that, but we also rejoice in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received the reconciliation.\nTherefore, just as through one man sin entered the world, and death through sin, and thus death spread to all men, because all sinned—(For until the law sin was in the world, but sin is not imputed when there is no law. Nevertheless death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over those who had not sinned according to the likeness of the transgression of Adam, who is a type of Him who was to come. But the free gift is not like the offense. For if by the one man’s offense many died, much more the grace of God and the gift by the grace of the one Man, Jesus Christ, abounded to many. And the gift is not like that which came through the one who sinned. For the judgment which came from one offense resulted in condemnation, but the free gift which came from many offenses resulted in justification. For if by the one man’s offense death reigned through the one, much more those who receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness will reign in life through the One, Jesus Christ.)\nTherefore, as through one man’s offense judgment came to all men, resulting in condemnation, even so through one Man’s righteous act the free gift came to all men, resulting in justification of life. For as by one man’s disobedience many were made sinners, so also by one Man’s obedience many will be made righteous.\nMoreover the law entered that the offense might abound. But where sin abounded, grace abounded much more, so that as sin reigned in death, even so grace might reign through righteousness to eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

The Bible tells us that God demands us to be bold in our faith. So it may seem crazy to someone who doesn't know the word of God. Most people don't like to hear what the lord says, because it means they would have give up their hedonistic lifestyles. Sometimes the truth cannot be accepted because it would mean giving up on what the world sees as important, and realizing what is.People think christians are mean and stuffy, but you can't change the word of God to make people feel comfortable. You have to read the bible for yourself and meditate on what He wants and not what the rest of the world tells you is right and fair.

If God wanted to leave absolutely no room for anyone to doubt or try to disprove His existance and authority, He could have done. His thoughts and ways are better than ours - we'd love everyone to just have to believe - but God gives everyone the choice. People don't want it to be true that there is a God - the implications are too big. Like recognising that yes there is actually right and wrong - people don't want to go there - remember Pharohs magicians who tried to explain away the wonders that were shown them in Egypt - they didn't want to acknowlege God either - its nothing fresh!  The reality of our Eternal God who controls everything in life and death is just more than folks can take - they want to "live a good life and be happy" They don't want to know about a God who will hold us responsible what we do with our lives, it just doesn't fit with their "lifestyle choice". They will either try to logically reason a way that it could possibly have happened without needing a God or they will just instantly dismiss these realities without further thought as just "fairy tales". Don't fret. Yes some people will try to explain things in a way that ignores God, they refuse to believe - creation itself cries out! Its of no suprise in one sense ... there is going to be both the sheep and the goats. Stand firm. One day every knee will bow, and every tongue confess that He Is LORD.
