I can’t bring myself to truly believe in God. I fervently try to justify the existence of a God to myself but later realize that I deep down don’t. Is it possible that my brain simply isn’t developed enough? I’m 20 years old by the way, any advice is appreciated.

Nah, the probability age range is way under 20 for having such gullibility for having such
beliefs in God, likewise the Tooth Fairy and Santa Clause. If such was the case, then those
that died at the ripe age of 19 by some medieval disease 600 years back would be screwed
in the eyes of God.

So your calling Jesus a liar?
takes alot of faith lol

The quality of this point is astounding, m8. You must be proud of that one.

There's no such thing as "bringing yourself to believe" or any such nonsense. Belief is easy, you just make a choice. Just like walking into a donut shop and choosing whether you want a chocolate donut or a strawberry one. Exactly like this you choose to believe God or not.
You're just resisting the knowledge of the truth. I suggest you fix your shit up, because someday the invitation will come for the last time. And then God gives you up.

I haven’t been baptized, but pray everyday. Is it necessary?
Jonathan Rogers
If you have any questions about God or life; read the bible. Kjv is the most recommended, I dont care what you are just read it, you'll be glad you did.
Luke Gomez
Socrates was a monotheist
He said god was beyond being, so if you believe god is not real then you believe he is beyond being - pretty close to believing in him bro
Ayden Powell
The one thing that is necessary before any rite is acceptance of Jesus Christ. Thats it.
Juan Phillips
Meant to quote you guys too on
Thanks

Neither baptism, nor prayer is required for salvation. Only faith.

I’ve always found it difficult to have faith in Jesus Christ and the Lord - maybe I’m brainwashed by the media?? I really want to but it seems ludicrous to my subconscious

If you believe yourself to be morally competent and respectful and compassionate, you don't need the Bible and its stories. Hell, you don't need Christianity or the Old Testament. Faith isn't thrust into your hands, it comes to you as a revelation. It is the revelation that God is real, but he defies every expectation of what you believe him to be.
He is the ideal human, he is all of your aspirations, and in that sense, there is a god for every person, but they never interact, unless you are in a situation where you're in a group and the whole group has an ideal human. Then, you have groups, that is how a group forms.
Ignore everything that everyone has told you, for they are either pure conjecture or pure story for the sake of understanding. Most of the bible is just hyperbole of our own very real moral ideals about ourselves.

Read into it, the bible explains why everything today sucks ass. You can check out other online sources if reading takes too much time. There is this good series based on a comic called good and evil by No greater joy ministieries and its a pretty quick summation of the book itself. I suggest you look at that first.
Grayson Collins
You have a stubborn amount of faith in yourself. No one's brain can ever comprehend all of God. The idea that you think you have the ability to justify his existence illustrates that you put yourself above God. Which is pretty low considering we're on Sup Forums. The reason you can't seem to believe in God is that the God you are trying to believe in isn't worthy of being believed in. You'll have to start by saying no to the Euphoria and realize you got problems and can't solve them. Repentance is a bitch.
Alexander Mitchell
That’s true... maybe I have it the wrong way and deep down wish to not have faith? Have you experienced something similar?

Thank you, this is a very useful format for knowledge on Christianity. I will also share with my friends.

Uh, god is not abrahamic, then also Abraham lived in the Fertile Crescent and he was Babylonian I think, and that’s the oldest civilization on earth bro.

Sebastian Jones
there is no god, and there are infinite gods. "god" is simply infinite conscious awareness. there's nothing to believe in, because it is not a concept. the mistake is believing that the brain produces consciousness. it's actually the other way around; consciousness manifests physical reality. that's god.
Noah Perez
That's just your intuition, there is no God.
I've known it since I was 13 and now I'm 25 and that still has not changed, and Christiantity alongside the Bible is one of my favorite subjects to read and think about, for any of you christcucks who thinks I'm just a fedora-tipper who watched a couple Amazing Atheist and Richard Dawkins videos and called it a day.
Might as well be trying to convince yourself that the Cat in the Hat is real.
Christian Peterson
One last question - is masturbation truly a sin? I can’t seem to find a solid answer on this.
Camden Lewis
I feel the same way, OP. I think its due to the sad state of out churches. They host gay weddings, promote socialism and self hatred. It isn't the Christianity of our ancestors. Just read the bible and try to put aside any preconceived notions. Also think deeply about the nature of good and evil and how both affect us and have affected people you know

Caring about it should be a sin lol

>Is it possible that my brain simply isn’t developed enough
Yes, part of it is that you are a dumbass, but likely your spiritual vacuity is being caused by attitude and ego, and not wanting to admit that you aren't the end all be all, and that there is something superior to you. Start with researching bell theorem and kochen-speker theorem. This will allow you to throw physicalism and locality out the window. Once you do that, just about anything becomes possible. Be open mindedly skeptical as opposed to being close mindedly skeptical.
Julian Miller
>ego
Hahahahahah expected more than that bro
Joseph Johnson
Also: God is something weak-minded people invent for themselves when the notion of there being no ultimate purpose or meaning scares them, it's not something to be proud of, no matter how much philosophical masturbation has gone into exploring and rationalising it.
Kayden Wright
No. It's that you think your brain is capable of understanding God that keeps you where you're at right now. Your confused state. Your uncertain state. Realize how arrogant the human mind is to look for proof of God. It's worked well for what we know and where we've gotten, but it's limited and always will be. You don't have to believe in God, but believe you don't understand everything and never will. You're limited, like the rest of us. Embrace the mystery.
Jonathan Turner
A few days ago I was watching a documentary about Chairman Mao and how he killed 3 million peasants. I don't believe in God anymore.
"Is he unwilling or unable?"
If he is real I think he is unable.

Listen to sermons.
John 20:30-31
And truly Jesus did many other signs in the presence of His disciples, which are not written in this book; 31 but these are written that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that believing you may have life in His name.

Evan Jenkins

Joshua Sanchez
There is only one, user.
It’s called cognitive dissonance. You have been socially trained to find the notion offensive and embarrassing; you probably ask this question on Sup Forums because you are to embarrassed to talk about it with anyone you know IRL.
If your biggest reason not to beleive is “because it feels icky” you need to work through why you have those feelings rather than just letting the rule over you.

Jacob Howard
Lucifer is not a biblical character, everything you lknow” about him is Hollywood kikery. The word “Lucifer” occurs once in the entire Bible, with the original Hebrew transliterated as “helel” which simply means “shining one”. This phrase “helel” is being used to describe a mortal king.
This is the ONLY time the word appears in scripture, full stop. MOST things you (and most Christians) think about their religion have ZERO biblical support, because kikes have been subverting for fucking centuries.
James Collins
>God exists because the bible says so
>The bible is true because God wrote it
I'm agnostic but these threads make me want to buy a fedora.
The arguments for believing in god are not only retarded and unconvincing, but condescending and alienating as well.
I think Christianity is great and helped a shitload with civilization, but I'll never be able to believe in something without a single shred of evidence.
Every argument for it essentially boils down to "God is real because God says so", absolutely fucking retarded.
Ryder Edwards
I’m not familiar with the term, but after a short reading it seems to only be possible for a sinner.
Jayden Parker
Then you will pay for your sins in hell.
James Flores

>Hell exists because God says so in the bible
>The bible is true because god wrote it
I think outright denial of God's existence is asinine, it's entirely possible.
I just can't truly believe in him without a single piece of evidence.

>justify the existence
This is where you are wrong.
Jaxon Adams
Hell doesn’t exist in the Bible; at least not in the way most Christians and all atheists view it. The Bible is clear in hundreds of passages that the wages of sin are death and the only means of attaining eternal life are through Christ; this makes the notion of a life of eternal torment in hell an entirely anti-biblical claim.
Joseph Johnson
It's what every single pro-christianity argument ever made boils down to.

666 is about Neron and 616 means Nero look it up what I say is the truth

Daniel Lee
Believing in God is not meant to be easy. Having faith is incredibly difficult, even for those who have dedicated their very existence to the word of God. Just remember that the bible has been written and changed overtime by man. The evil doings of the church and priests are the actions of man. The free will of man is the purest form of God. In my younger days when I knew everything about everything I would never confess to anyone that I had faith and believed in Jesus Christ. Now that I am clear of mind, free from drugs, alcohol, and perverse thoughts. Now that I work and support my family and struggle every day, and admit that I truly know nothing has shown just how important God and me and out relationship is. Look past the material and read between the lines. You will find your spirit on top of the earth, above the water and the dirt, and air. Give in and you will be rewarded. Ask yourself who makes you feel shame for believing? Why? Why these people? Why do so many try so hard to put the will of God down if he is not real? If anyone asks if I believe I say YES. Of course I believe in the father almighty, creator of heaven and earth. Those who laugh at me, laugh in fear of the father who stands beside me and watches me at all times. Smile. Laugh and Love. I am a messenger of God and soon so will you. Praise be! Praise be my son!
Jaxon White
No, in God’s opinion. They are adding a bunch of shit to the Bible that goes against the message of the Bible. For starters, the serpent being Satan and further claiming to be a God.
Joshua Lewis
>What is natural theology? Natural theology can be defined as that branch of Christian theology which seeks to explore the justification of Christianity's truth claims apart from the resources of authoritative divine revelation. It explores what warrant there is for Christian truth claims without appealing to authoritative inspired Scripture.

So you are quoting yourself; you are defeating your own strawman.
Well done. You must be very proud of yourself.
Austin Cox
Great, your take can be that it’s sunshine and lollipops for all I care; your opinion doesn’t matter and the Bible is very clear on this.
Ian Miller
Haha that is the point
It is NOT clear about it and revelation IS symbolic, you are just ignorant to the truth John meant to convey
Eli Turner
You're applying evidence and scientific theories to something that can possibly be beyond our grasp. The arrogance to think we can somehow get a snapshot of God can be foolish. Doesn't seem foolish because look at the great achievements we've made. We can see beyond the stars to the beginning of time, using our creations and inventions. We've figured out almost everything imaginable. But what are we not seeing? What have we missed? We can see to the beginning of the universe, where time began with the Big Bang, but what if that tells nothing? That's just our human perception. What if time, this universe, our science, is nothing? A mote of dust drifting in something incomprehensible? What haven't we seen? It's so alluring to put everything you believe into science. It's hard to blame anyone that would. But there's much we just don't know.
Joshua Lopez
Please give me an argument that proves me wrong.
>The idea that you think you have the ability to justify his existence illustrates that you put yourself above God.
This is a perfect example of what I'm talking about. How can I possibly feel bad about "putting myself about God" if I don't believe he exists in the first place?
Caleb Reed
Perhaps you are familiar with this verse?
>John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life
>what won’t happen to you if you believe?
>what do you gain by believing?
Real basic stuff, and there are hundreds of verses to this affect. Here’s the bonus round:
>is Jesus the only path to everlasting life?
>what are the wages of sin?
Open book test, take your time.

Yes, I’ve recognized that the “love everyone” message that most so-called “Christians” propagate is nothing more than Jewish subversion to weaken us. Do you have any sources on the Lucifer thing? Explaining that seems to be a very effective method to redpill normies.
