I honestly can say many many many people would STILL not believe if it bit them on the butt. You can see that example in the Bible when Jesus was walking amoung them- they saw his miracles, they saw how his life fulfilled prophesy but they still crucified him because he wasn't exactly how they wanted him to be for their own selfish benefit.
Am I right in saying that people don't
want to have someone higher than them to tell them right from wrong? That much is obvious.
And I absolutely disagree with that he gave us no proof and we just have to believe- he gave us tons of it. The Bible for one. Now, I can't exactly sum up the accuracy of the Bible right here- heck, there are literally thousands of books on the matter- but I got a statistic from a woman who is an apologist and she told me that only 3% of the Bible's word/translation is disputed. But, they are words such as ‘is’ and the like that with different sets of tenses and how to say are just hard to squeeze into the English language. One of the rules of deciphering, if you will, the Bible or any text is to not build your ideologies on connecting words and others like is, are, etc. If I remember correctly they Bible even says it is foolish to believe in something without proof.
The Bible is one amazing book- it’s very unique. It was written by approximately 40 different people of all walks of life. Moses, priestly historians in the time of King David, a “lowly tax collector”, the brother of Jesus’ brother James- just to name a few.
Of course we had to go and string things together and sort them by date, time period, authorship, etc. but for someone just to create that mass amount of information over the 1,500 years or more is simply impossible and I would say it takes more faith to believe that than to believe in the Bible itself!
Another compelling argument for the credibility is the vast amount of prophesies fulfilled. There are 668 prophesies and none have ever been proven false though three remained unconfirmed. That in itself is ridiculous- unless it was from the Divine.
Again to no person in particular, to say that there is no evidence, especially on the Christian side, is simply ignorance. You can take what you find and decide what you believe but such claims show little understanding of the matter.
*Phew* I will get back to this discussion later. :]
