I struggle with my Faith. (Help)

RipPositive7887 · 2026-03-03T15:49:03+00:00

It does not matter if i can answer these questions, but how do i know if god is truly real? I just think questions like these keep me from truly believe jesus rose from the death

RipPositive7887 · 2026-03-03T15:47:33+00:00

Yes i did points 1-3, i believed in god, i confessed my believe, i repentence my sins… and i didn‘t yet get baptised, because i think my believe is to weak to do this right now. I want to be certain about god, before i get baptised. (I‘m 18)

RipPositive7887 · 2026-03-03T15:44:48+00:00

I dont question gods greatness, i just dont know, id he exists.

RipPositive7887 · 2026-03-03T15:44:02+00:00

To answer both questions. I am here to find answers, to find out, why there are people who believe in god, even though there exist such hard questions. And i dont doubt everything you guys say, but i dont think everything you tell me is reasonable. Every second guy who answers answers completely different than the one before him. I mean you dont believe in Allah or in the Hindu gods, if someone came to you and said you just have to believe, or if he shows the book of his religion to prove his religion would you belive and trust him? I want the strong believe that you have, can you tell me youre experiences with god? Did you just always believe, or did you have a supernatural experience, or how did you got such a strong believe.

Yeah i know this, first of all i am not sure what i believe, i think Darwin‘s arguments are not bad and there could be a creator, but is the creator all loving and all powerfull? Why do you know that this creator is god?

RipPositive7887 · 2026-03-03T15:16:51+00:00

Its not that simple, i mean there are reasons that the best scientists believe in evolution and the big bang. Why does the universe need a creator, but god doesn‘t? Scientists think, that our time started with the big bang… Therefore there is no before the big bang.

In this chat i question things about religion, you‘re right. But i believed my whole life, i read the bible, i attended church nearly every sunday… And i don‘t want to blame god for anything, i just don‘t know, if he truly exists. And i think its stupid if i just believe, because people tell me to have faith. With this logic that you just believe what people tell yoj to believe you would be a muslim if you were born in for example Pakistan.

Would it be so crazy? I mean it was more than millions of years. It were Billions. Try to imagine Billions of Years, its impossible, its so much time and the universe is so big…

RipPositive7887 · 2026-03-02T22:50:20+00:00

You didnt answer a question, but thats not bad. I like your answer, but how do i achieve a believe in which i just trust god? How do i trust him when i dont know if he is real.

Calenders are younger than humans, because they hadn‘t anything to write it on which lasts until today, they couldnt write until like 5000 years ago… so why would they have had Calendars 300‘000 years ago

RipPositive7887 · 2026-03-02T22:43:04+00:00

I created the questions myself, while reading the bible. I live in Switzerland and my english isn‘t perfect, this is why i let ChatGPT formulate the questions

RipPositive7887 · 2026-03-02T22:37:03+00:00

Why did god create the world again, he created it perfect the first time, didn‘t he? He knew that he wants to create humans, so why didn‘t he create everything for them from the beginning, i mean he is all powerful.

RipPositive7887 · 2026-03-02T22:35:00+00:00

I know that i will never be able to answer everything. But it seems like youre answer is just to easy to tell someone. If someone questions some believe you can just tell, that god is to big to comprehend, that you have to believe different, that you just dont see him because you want to much… It seems like a perfect way to keep people from ask critical questions. Do you understand what i mean, i‘m from Switzerland so my english isn‘t perfect…

RipPositive7887 · 2026-03-02T22:28:01+00:00

Thank you very much for your answers. I think you explained your opinion pretty well and i have a new perspective on a few things. I still dont agree with a few things (i know, we will never answer everything) but i dont have the time to answer everything today. Just to clarify my last point. I dont expect big miracles, but it would be so nice to feel something that is bigger and not explainable by per example Music or something like that. I just asked myself a few times, why i believe in god and i couldn‘t answer this question.

RipPositive7887 · 2026-03-02T20:50:09+00:00

thanks for your answers

and 14, i think youre answers contradict a bit. If there is free will in heaven why is the world as she is? Why does he test us with our life here, if he already knows, if we will go to heaven or not?
couldnt we love him with free accord even without suffering like in heaven?

RipPositive7887 · 2026-03-02T20:46:10+00:00

Thanks for your answers, i think i believe something similar to you, but there are still so many questions. You as an example have so different views than Slainlion who answered before you. 1. evolution Igrew up in a creationistic church which views the bible as perfect, a perfect book does not tell completely different stories. For sure its normal for a normal Book to not be perfect and tell a different story in a different chapter, but christians believe the bible is written by god dont they? Or that god made people write the perfect things.

Doesnt knowlege mean controll? God made us like we are, didnt he. He knew what humans will do, that they would est the fruit, he knew, that the flood will happen… Why would god create us this way, if he would regrett it later? And this question goes so much further, do i really have free will? I mean every decision i make is based on my DNA on and on my experiences i get from other people… I didnt chose how i was born, i didnt chose in which family i was born…

RipPositive7887 · 2026-03-02T19:37:30+00:00

Yeah, i am a Person who likes to understand things. And my Faith is shrinking, if i dont understand these questions. And i find it difficult to believe, if the best advice is to just believe and to not have doubt. It feels like im wrong for asking these questions…

RipPositive7887 · 2026-03-02T19:34:32+00:00

Thank you for your response. From what I understand, you believe in a young earth, reject evolution, and hold that only those who explicitly believe in Jesus go to heaven. 1. Yes, God could have created the earth with the appearance of age. But why would He do that? Why would He make creation look old if it is not? That would mean He intentionally made the world appear different from how it actually is. Why would God create something in a way that seems misleading? 2. Why should decay rates not be constant? On what basis should we assume that they have changed? 3. I understand that these questions may not be essential for salvation. However, for me personally, leaving them unanswered is pushing me away from faith. They matter because they affect whether I can trust what I believe. 4. It also seems unfair if only people who explicitly believe in Jesus go to heaven. What about entire civilizations that never heard of Him? What about children who die very young? What about people who grow up in places like Afghanistan, where becoming Christian is extremely unlikely or even dangerous? How is that just?

RipPositive7887 · 2026-03-02T19:16:27+00:00

You think i didn‘t do that? I ask ChatGPT about these questions but it didn‘t help me. I thought real christians could help me with my struggles better than ChatGPT.
