[Deathstar 80]

How?

I admit that I've never experienced any big, life changing events that proved to me that God was there, but I have went through hard times. It was during these hard times that God comforted me and I was to remind myself to follow his (God's) will despite the hard time. I'm pretty sure that I posted in this thread earlier that I always wondered how unsaved people could live. I know this seems kind of cliche' to say, but I really don't think I could live without God. The thought honestly horrifies me.

People in the 30-'s and 40's were saying the same thing. People have been saying the end is near for centuries. Paul thought the end would happen in his lifetime.

They were saying the same thing, but that was before Israel was born, the world went farther into sin, etc.

I' didn't make up my mind because of those fake-Christians, I just don't believe it altogether. I've met some great Christian people, but I've also met some "Better-than" Christians...I'm sure you know which ones I'm talking about.

The "Better-than" Christians, are they "prideful" Christians? Do you think they think of themselves as being more righteous than others? Or are you talking about a completely different type of Christian? If I'm right, then you shouldn't make your decision because of them. As I said earlier, look at the Bible and then make your decision. If a building is on fire and a person who thinks he's running to the door is actually running away from the door, would it make sense to follow him? Of course not. You yourself should run to the door despite the other person, and on the way, you can redirect that other person into running to the door with you. Therefore, you can both be saved.

By the way, I figured out a few things. I said earlier:

We (as the human race) probably don't know anything compared to all of the knowledge in the universe.

That's not my exact words, but what I meant was that we can't make a judgment on anything, because before you can make a judgment, you must know everything. Yet, as I said in my quote, we don't know everything, and therefore, we can't be absolutely sure (as in 100% accurate) what is fact and what isn't. I talked to a philosopher about this, and he said, "I'm not sure if you need to know everything to know something."

Also, we all said that Jesus did exist, but I've heard that there's evidence not only for the existence of Jesus but also against it.

I've told you this stuff even though it goes against the Bible, but please listen to me when I say that I know the Bible tells the truth. As the Bible says, everyone has to give their lives to God and to repent of their sins to be saved.
