    The Spirit of God. That is God's proof to me. The baptism of the Spirit was rather eventful for me, and I didn't even have anyone else around me when it happened.

    The Spirit of God is proof of God, just as Jesus said that the Spirit of God would dwell with me.

    He proves it to those who trust Him. I can't put it any more accurate than that.

    The Concept of God makes sense and it is more reasonable then any other Religion and makes more sense then the other Religion's.

    Translation of Surah Ikhlas Chapter 112

    1: Say He is ALLAH the one and only

    2: ALLAH the eternal absolute

    3: He begetteth not, nor is He begotten

    4: And there is none like unto him

    The Quran has been in it's original form since it was revealed to Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) over 1400 years ago and ALLAH promises to preserve it.

    The Qur'an is without any mistake, contradiction or error etc.

    ALLAH challenges you if you do not believe to try and produce 1 chapter like it. The challenge is against The Qur'an and not the translation of the Qur'an because that is a translation.

    There are so many ways to prove the Qur'an to be the word of GOD but I just gave some brief information.

    Hope I helped

    that is a very understandable question. I did not KNOW, I thought my dad knew LDS was true, because I looked up to him and he said it was. So did alot of LDS, but I did not know for sure until I studied the religious history, the scripture, but most importantly prayed with desire in my heart to learn of the truth, [if any] in the Mormon and their literature. I also prayed for an understanding of the answer [if any]to my prayers about truth. I started praying for the answers to come in a way that i would recognize as such.

    Religion is a personal thing. My religion is a result of all I have lived and learned. Of everything I believe, a combination of all my opinions concerning every aspect of my life on this world'

    It can be nothing but correct.

    A correct religion should at least give peace of mind to it's followers.

    There is no need for anyone to believe in it before verifying it's correctness.

    I was very ill and attempted suicide. I was atheist yet still afraid that if God was real I would go to hell. For many years I said prayers just in case I was wrong. Before my attempt I said one of those prayers. When I woke up he started in on me just like I had asked. I asked him to shake me and rock my world to make me believe. Apparently He's real cause he did after I lived through what I tried He has given me revelation time and time again. I even thought I was crazy, so I went to 2 neurophsycologiist. Guess what, I'm not crazy.

    As a former atheist that was my explaination for "Jesus Freaks" such as I.

    there has only been one true religion at any one time on the earth. If you religion does not know the Theme of the bible I dought that it is the right one. the theme of the Bible is Gods Kingdom. Does God have the right to rule Mankind. and for 6000 + years there has been a battle to see if mankind can rule by themselves. which they cannot..

    (Ecclesiastes 8:9) . . .All this I have seen, and there was an applying of my heart to every work that has been done under the sun, [during] the time that man has dominated man to his injury. . .

    (Psalm 146:3-4) . . .Do not put YOUR trust in nobles, Nor in the son of earthling man, to whom no salvation belongs.  4 His spirit goes out, he goes back to his ground; In that day his thoughts do perish. . .

    Does your Religion use Gods personal Name?

    it is Jehovah. (Psalm 83:18) . . .That people may know that you, whose name is Jehovah, You alone are the Most High over all the earth. . .

    that name Appears about 7000 time in the Hebrew Scriptures or the OT. Look up the word "Tetragrammaton" do your own research.

    The Kingdom of the heavens will come with Jesus in power to fix all the Problems of the Earth. and get rid of the Wickedness we see today.

    (Daniel 2:44) . . .“And in the days of those kings the God of heaven will set up a kingdom that will never be brought to ruin. And the kingdom itself will not be passed on to any other people. It will crush and put an end to all these kingdoms, and it itself will stand to times indefinite. . .

    (Psalm 37:10-11) . . .And just a little while longer, and the wicked one will be no more; And you will certainly give attention to his place, and he will not be. 11 But the meek ones themselves will possess the earth, And they will indeed find their exquisite delight in the abundance of peace. . .

    you need to understand the after 35 years i have a storng belief in that hope of living forever in a paradise on the earth. that is the original perpose of the earth.

    (Genesis 1:26-28) 26 And God went on to say: “Let us make man in our image, according to our likeness, and let them have in subjection the fish of the sea and the flying creatures of the heavens and the domestic animals and all the earth and every moving animal that is moving upon the earth.” 27 And God proceeded to create the man in his image, in God’s image he created him; male and female he created them. 28 Further, God blessed them and God said to them: “Be fruitful and become many and fill the earth and subdue it, and have in subjection the fish of the sea and the flying creatures of the heavens and every living creature that is moving upon the earth.”

    (Isaiah 55:10-11) . . .For just as the pouring rain descends, and the snow, from the heavens and does not return to that place, unless it actually saturates the earth and makes it produce and sprout, and seed is actually given to the sower and bread to the eater, 11 so my word that goes forth from my mouth will prove to be. It will not return to me without results, but it will certainly do that in which I have delighted, and it will have certain success in that for which I have sent it. . .

    Ask yourself " Did any one else use the bible to prove the faith?"

  • religions are for controling people minds and enslave them to some bullshitt ideals.

    But this doesn't mean there is no Higher Source or Energy out there. It means only that this Higher Energy got a very very wrong interpration from humans.

    All gods of all religions say to love eachother,accept anothers ideas,not judge them and love them as if it where your brothers and sisters.But they kill eachother to prove .. what? Their religion is correct?

    Where is the love and the compassion?the understanding and the union?where????

    we should be unite

    No religion is correct. This is because religion is man made and man is full of ignorance and sin. Jesus Himself was even anti-religious along with the Father.

    If the practices of the church conform to the practices authorized in the Bible, and the teachings of the church conform to the teachings of the Bible, it is good enough for me.

    The whole purpose of the Bible is to tell us of the plan of salvation. The plan is simple, yet powerful.
