We believe in Christopher Columbus because of books, why apply different rule when it comes to God?

To Slambgno:  There is more evidence Jesus lived than Ben Franklin.  Check it out for yourself !!!  Your not that dumb!

My husband and I believe in God and have faith in Jesus, not religion. Both of us have tried different religions throughout our lives but it seems like they all have negative aspects. We feel that we don't have to associate with any particular church or religion to have a relationship with God and we are much happier for it. We also believe that since God created this earth, then God is everywhere, so why should we have to confine our worship to a building or on a particular day?

I believe in God just not the bible, how dare anyone claim to know what God thinks, I have more respect for God, there are hundreds of archaeological finds proving that the bible that exists was put into place by church hierarchy that had ulterior motives for including and not including what THEY wanted in the bible, only someone who had ALL the original texts and could read them in the original language that they were written in would have a good understanding of what the ancient religious leaders had in mind, and who's to say they were God inspired, insane asylums are full of people who hear God

Yes, it is proven in the same way you would claim to prove that George Washington or Christopher Columbus existed. Based on evidence provided by witnesses. \n\nNo one now alive has ever seen Washington or Columbus, but we all accept that they lived based on accounts from the period.  Same as Christ and God-- we can know Christ walked on Earth based on accounts written by witnesses (even those not included in the Bible, since you're so against that--there are secular reports of His earthly life as well, read Josephus among others). As for God, we see the order and beauty in the creation around us and see His handiwork & know that He exists.

I believe in God in spite of some Holy Books.

Indeed.\n\nI've often though this. For example, the 10 commandments would be pretty impressive if Columbus stepped ashore in the Caribbean for the first time to discover that the native inhabitants had been given by god the exact same 10 commandments in the same order. \nTHAT would be pretty impressive. But no instead he chose to only tell one (probably schizophrenic) man on top of a mountain somewhere in Israel.

I think it has something to do with Right side and wrong side,\nactually only God can rule man.

LOL! That is a weird theory, but I know what you mean. It is a joke to think people would take a book as more proof than scientific facts. And a god that is constantly destroying his own creation for political reasons is even more absurd.

No I don't, I am Christian and I consider it a moral guide with some truths and a good book, but it isn't the end all to end all. I consider myself Christian because I follow many of Christ teachings and lets face it I was raised to be so. Nature vs. nurture, what can I say? Oh and you don't have to follow the Bible to follow what Christ taught, even he was against being ruled by laws.  I love God, not the Bible, if I did I would be a follower of books not of Christ. Ever wonder why Jesus never wrote about himself? Think on that for awhile. Like the bible says we are all Gods. Follow your heart not a book.

We base our beliefs in the books of the Bible. In the Bible we learn about being born again spiritually but not carnally.

Yes, I believe this a true book from the mouth of God to prophets here in the Americas. Who are we to say that God cant or wouldnt talk to people in the ancient Americas? And if God talks to them, shouldnt they write what he speaks? If they write what he speaks shouldnt we have it as well, to go along with other books(such as the bible)as well? How is it that men always believe that God is all powerful and all knowing and can do anything, yet when they're told that he spoke to the people here in the ancient Americas, they say no, he didnt, or he wouldnt or he couldnt?

Well there is a few explanations.\n\nFirst is the whole columbus thing that a few people have posted.\n\nSecond, was the jesuit missonarys refered to the 'natives in some of their writings to the king of england as "in deus" meaning close to god or in god, therefore leading us to be called indians.\n\nthird is we crossed the land bridge between siria and alaska meaning we migrated somewhere from siria or india, however this fact was later disputed due to archological finds predating this concept.

In Islam, we ought to believe in God messangers, and God Holybooks so we are really in very unique situation which is that we believe that Muoses, Jesus and Muhammed are God messangers and we believe that Torah, Bible and Quran are God books and furthermore we believe that no prophet is better that another one.\n\nIn Islam rejection of any of the above would mean that you are not a good muslim and that you are not following God instructions.

I 100% agree. God has authority over all creation and the bible is God's word written by man inspired by God the father and sent to us as a gift of love (just like his son Jesus) to help us understand what he asks of us and as an instruction on how to live. Read it, meditate on it and do not allow the skeptics and unbelief of the world tear you from it. Whether the world wants to accept it or not does not mean it does'nt apply to them.

I am quite agree with u.But i think there is no need to choose any other religious beliefs.All religious books teaches us some common things to do.It teaches us humanity,love,truth,etc.The main object of religious books is to avoid sins and bad deeds and make a man a good human being.If u decide to be a good human being then there is no need to choose other religious beliefs.Good is God and God is great and prefect.

Yes.  Because it is illogical to believe in gods.

FYI I'm a Christian...if you read any history at all, religion has been around since humans became in existence.  Every culture discovered by archeologist's has had some form of a God.  From the ancient Aztecs, ancient Egyptians, and the Mesopotamians. The Majority of humans on this earth (87%) believe in one God or another...their "religion".  It is only the Atheist who do not believe in any power greater than themselves.  Pretty weird.
