If God loved the world so much, then why not give a clearer evidence?

Question

So he has the Bible. But the problem is, anyone can write a book with stories that it claims to be true. If God really wants the world to know he's real, why not give a clearer evidence? The only evidence God has is the Bible. And it's obviously not enough.

Does God want us to be confused? I'm not accepting "Mysterious ways" as an answer.

It's God's fault there are Atheists! It's his fault why there are false Gods! Because he won't give a clearer evidence!

And I'm starting to think that he doesn't deserve to be praised because he can't even give us a clearer evidence. He knows humans will look for one.

Does he think it's all a little game? Does he want humans to be dumb forever, not looking for explanation and believing things because a book told us to? (I'm really sorry, I'm so angry and confused right now)

Now, the question is, WHY NOT GIVE A CLEARER EVIDENCE?

Answer 1

He couldn't be any clearer than becoming a man and dying for your sins on a cross.



" We accept man’s testimony, but God’s testimony is greater because it is the testimony of God, which he has given about his Son. Anyone who believes in the Son of God has this testimony in his heart. Anyone who does not believe God has made him out to be a liar, because he has not believed the testimony God has given about his Son. And this is the testimony: God has given us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. He who has the Son has life; he who does not have the Son of God does not have life.



I write these things to you who believe in the name of the Son of God so that you may know that you have eternal life."



I John 5:9-13

Answer 2

I`m agnostic for this reason and a couple others. My biggest question is the bible has been written over 1000s of years of time: How do we know that the stories in it aren`t overly exaggerated to make it more exciting and interesting to read? As well, Their are reports of people denying important things that are celebrated by Christians (e.g. Easter and rising of Jesus from the dead).



Also: Why are you shunned automatically and "sent to hell" if you don`t believe in him? Their are people out there who are born into poverty with horrible lives who may not have much reason (if it at all) to believe in God who`re extremely nice people and then you have the exact opposite: people who`re born into rich families and are spoiled horrible people, I don`t accept "mysterious ways" for that as an answer either.



Again... I`m agnostic I`m not saying that god does or doesn`t exist but I`m very skeptical I hope that someday I`ll be fully convinced I`m not bashing anybody for believing in God.

Answer 3

1. No "mysterious ways"



It is almost always the atheists here talking about "mysterious ways." That is more a muslim belief than a Christian one. While it is true that we can't understand everything that God has ever done, we don't constantly talk about "mysterious ways" either. The point of the Bible is that God was Abraham's friend and told him His ways. We can be friends with God today and know His ways.



Gen 18:17 And the LORD said, Shall I hide from Abraham that thing which I do....?



It's a rhetorical question. The answer is "no." Since God is Abraham's friend then of course He will tell him what He is going to do.



2. There is more evidence than the Bible. God have us miracles, prophecy, our own conscience, etc



3. The evidence is clear. The subject here is morality. Even the atheists believe, for example, that it's wrong to kill babies to save money on groceries. There is no scientific evidence to show that baby eating is wrong. The atheists believe it because of the moral evidence.

Answer 4

Actually, the Bible is very little evidence that God exist. Yes, it does tell us about him. But the natural world around us and the heavens tells us much more. The animals with their instincts, the way the Earth even though turning at over 1,000 miles per hour and at the same time traveling a great distance going around the sun, never gets too far away, nor too close to the sun to make it uninhabitable by humans. The moon, the closest body to Earth, while controlling the tides of the oceans doesn't get pulled into the Earth.



Yes, the very fact that there is life on Earth is proof positive that God exist.

Answer 5

Awaits incoming "the evidence is all around you, you just need to LOOK." claptrap that when pressed is clearly nothing more than an argument from incredulity



Vize X who the hell told you that bit of nonsense!?



Our earths core is SOLID IRON! It is found all through the core and crust which is exactly as we'd expect it to be if the earth was made via stellar evolutionary processes.



Iron mainly comes from space... bloody hell. Sure you'll find iron in meteors, ofc you will if the meteor was originally sourced via stars exploding but that doesn't mean we don't already have planet scale tons of it on earth.

Answer 6

If the Bible wasn't written ambiguously and subject to interpretation it would be too easy to dismiss it for what it is - simply a book full of stories written my many different people who couldn't agree on a lot of things. By making it cryptic it gives it a 'mysterious' feel and the fundies can easily interpret the passages any way they want.



@Vize X: I don't know what you're suffering from but you should get help. You could spaz out at any moment.

Answer 7

"Then Jesus told him, Because you have seen me, you have believed; blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed."' - John 20:29.



Jesus said that after appearing to Thomas who had said he would not believe unless he saw. You NEED to have faith. Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the EVIDENCE of things not seen.



Confusion is 100% from the devil. He is a liar and a deceiver. It is completely his fault that there are Atheists and false gods. He is trying to get you to blame God. Before sin entered the world, humans did not question God's existence. Confusion and questioning came during the fall of man.



God does not think your confusion is a game, but the devil does. He is trying his hardest to get you so confused that you turn away from God, believing He is fake and horrible.



TRUST ME, if you seek God, you WILL find Him. Don't give into the devil. That's the biggest mistake you could EVER make.

Answer 8

The fact that this planet exists is enough for some I suppose

Answer 9

You want evidence ? I'll give you ONE of the many forms of evidence that people disregard because they are brainwashed by false religion or by media and personal beliefs. Keep in mind though that is more a material and physical evidence, because you seem too lost to ponder on God's creation:



Are you familiar with where the Iron on earth comes from ? Almost all of the iron on Earth comes down raining on Earth from outer space, from the particles and meteors thrown far away into space by exploding stars. Earth itself produces no iron of its own. The fact that iron comes from outer space we have discovered only recently (last century perhaps) Got that ? (you can google it for more evidence)



Now read this:



"We have already sent Our messengers with clear evidences and sent down with them the Scripture and the balance that the people may maintain [their affairs] in justice. And We sent down iron, wherein is great military might and benefits for the people, and so that Allah may make evident those who support Him and His messengers unseen. Indeed, Allah is Powerful and Exalted in Might."



Quran 57:25



Emphasis on "And We SENT DOWN Iron". This is a literal translation of the Arabic Original script; revealed to the Prophet 1500 years ago.



The verse itself is Godly, for no one knew where iron came from, no one but God. Leaving your heart aside and taking this to your brain, they would see that this is what you think is missing: Evidence.



As God said in the same verse: "sent Our messengers with clear evidences"



Read that Book, and don't just disregard it because you think it's wrong. Give it a try, but be really truthful with yourself. May God guide me and you to His straight path

Answer 10

You only have to look at nature itself to see that a supreme being or God made it all to happen that way and it has been going on for billions of years.

Look at the stars and see the splendour of Gods creations as called.

Look in the mirror and see your own divinity as a manifestion of Gods love.

amen.

Answer 11

I agree 100%. In a court of law god would be classified as a dead beat dad.

Answer 12

Youll either be called trollz or get reported :P

Answer 13
