What are the arguments that prove to you that God is real? That the Bible is really from God?

God is real! All one has to do is look around to see the wonders of God's creation. Consider the flowers in the fields, the air we breath, the mysteries of the oceans, the food's we eat, etc. How can a mortal man create these? The Bible is a Book written by God Himself. He instructed holy men of old to write what God wanted. The entire Bible is in perfect harmony i.e. the old testament is in complete harmony with the new testament. We have to study the Bible very closly and prayrfully to get understanding of its contents.

Your argument is one that has been proposed by many, including by the Bible itself. However, natural explanations for the things you call mysteries are well able to account for these phenomena. No need for the supernatural.

One has to compare scrpture with scripture and submit ones self to learning and hearing from qualified teachers of the Bible. The Bible is not contridicting itself, it should be read very slowly and prayerfully asking God in prayer to open ones spiritual eyes and ears to enable us to get understanding.

Also, many people do as you suggest, studying the Bible closely and prayerfully, yet come to completely contradictory conclusions. That's because the Bible holds contradictory doctrines.

For everybody there is a God! It's up to you to see Him in your way! So, do not look for arguments, but see what you want to see! Live your life to the fullest!

Good point. I see him as a non-existent myth. And a mean one, at that.

Honestly I asked my self the same question when I was a Christian. You want to know something, I did read the bible and all I could find were harmefull things. I dont understand how a religin who claims to be loving and pure could follow the bible. I mean seriously if every one stoned there child or wife for talking back then our population would drop like a bad habbit. I dont understand how such a loving God would say that. If he was all loving then he wouldent have said that at all. I have chosen to nolonger follow the Christian religin for those reasons. Plus everytime I prayed and went to church nothing would change no matter how long I waited. Ever since I switched things have been wonderfull and I feel like things are going to alright from now on. Yeah we still have hard times but the way I look at it with the bad we cant appreciate the good. Bythe way my chossen religin is Wicca.

magicrose, I think anyone who reads the Bible objectively will come to the same conclusions you did. As long as people don't decide before reading it that it's all true and has no contradictions, and that God exists and is good, they will be blown away by the Bible's inconsistencies and the apparent cruelty of God. I'm glad you have found freedom.

For a persuasive discussion of this and the rational in opposition to Christianity read the speech by the English philosopher Bertrand Russell; "Why I am not a Christian." http://www.users.drew.edu/%7Ejlenz/whynot.html

There's an interesting post on "A Penitent Atheist" that shows the flaws in Christian evidences. It's called "Christian Evidences: Evidence of Nothing."

for some, they say that there is no scientific evidence of god. although there is evidence if people would actually read it. the timeslines in the bible are exact, the prophecies. people discuss the violence in the bible yet do not understnad the old law and the new law. those who do not believe in the bible dont understand faith. how can a person prove god exists and he is not just a myth? rather difficult if the person you are trying to prove it too has no faith. i have seen so many comments on the bible and how morbid and violent it is. kinda funny, they never talk of the good. i guess the best evidence a christian can give about the existance of god is, the human body and all that is around us is so complex that there had to be a supreme being of some sort to create it. just as athiests find it hard to believe that god exists, it is hard for christians to believe that the whole world came about by just one cell or one big explosion.

I believe that God is real. I can't prove it to another. As far as the Bible is concerned, there is little evidence of anything. Some people even wonder if Jesus Christ was a real person.
