How do we find truth!.!.!. we examine the evidence for a start!.

"Truth eludes us if we do not pursue it with constant attention!." - Alexander Solzhenitsyn (Russian novelist and later prof!. at Harvard)

1) We can look at the archaeology, the accuracy of the texts and even the science of the Bible!.

"If I had no other data than the early chapters of Genesis, some of the Psalms and other passages of Scripture, I would have arrived at essentially the same picture of the origin of the universe, as is indicated by the scientific data!." Nobel Prize-winning physicist Arno Penzias (Big Bang Theorist)

2) We can see what the Bible says about mankind's condition and the changes in those that accept Jesus as Lord!. All have fallens short is evident in the evening news and the testimonies of many are amazing!

John 10:10
"I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly"


3) We can look at the testimonies of those that have looked at the evidence such as Alister McGrath, Lee Streobel, Josh McDowell, C!.S!. Lewis and Anne Rice and see if our conclusions match!.

Truth is an absolute and is knowable if you are willing to search for it, but some will deny, ignore or don't care if it exists!.

Well, I have found on my experience (and this works for me, but couldn′t work for others), that if I pick what I feel is right, most of the times is the right choice for me!. I think there is a little voice (so to speak) inside of us, call it God, intuition, or whatever you want; that tell us what is right for us!. Now, what′s right for us may not be right for others, but I really think as long as we don′t hurt others, that shouldn′t be a problem!. The accuracy of that voice depends on how often you listen to it!. We always tend to be so distracted with so many things in life, or we tend to live like machines, that sometimes you cannot hear it!. I′ve been following that voice a few years from now, and I′m not saying my life is spectacular, but I′m a much more happy person!. I′m being myself that way!. Hope it works for you!.
Good luck :o)Www@QuestionHome@Com

you find truth with sound logic, which leads sometimes to the scientific approach!.

much of the lessons taught in the bible are logically and scientifically undeniable!.

though some things like creationism, the existence of a soul, of heaven and hell are not!. and some things are just invented by people who misinterpret the bible such as denying abortion and legal gay marriage!.

i guarantee you, if jesus were alive today he wouldn't be selling that abortion and gay marriage should be illegal!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Who do you really know!? Nobody, that's who!. We humans have a nasty habit of aging, being affected by any number of mostly random circumstance; changing physically and mentally, so that in fact during the course of anyone's life we are any number of people!. Even if you feel confident you know yourself this instant, in a minute or an hour or next tuesday everything can change!. If knowing your own self is so difficult and fleeting, how can you expect to 'really' know anybody else!?Www@QuestionHome@Com

I think to strongly believe in anything religious is ridiculous and stubborn!. I'm christian, but I think it'd be stupid for me to strongly believe in it, and know it exists!. No point in fighting, because the bottom line is, no one can truely say that very much has/hasn't happened!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
