Are these signs from God?

This is going to sound just a tad ridiculous.

It feels like everywhere i turn, religion is randomly being forced into my head.

It's been happening for a few months now. Very spontaneous occurrences of what seems to be inmyface signs. It started with this lady at the park that my friend and i met. She was Korean. Even though we couldn't understand each other's language, she was so intent on making us understand the bible. Then my uncle, who i haven't seen in years, gave me a little booklet that was an explanation of the bible. He's a priest. Then another priest gave me a weird look when i was walking by an open church. I'm seeing crosses everywhere. And then i found out that my school crush is extremely and passionately religious...

Am i being paranoid, or are all of these signs that i should visit church? I haven't been in one for a while. A lot has happened in my life since then. And the closest religion that I've stood by is Buddhism. I've always seen Christianity as overrated. Should i attempt to strengthen my relationship with God?

    God waits for you...He is only one prayer away and dearly wants to have fellowship with you.

    Talk to Him and ask Him what to do. Go to a Bible believing church and ask the pastor minister for help. You will receive guidance and you will be much better.

    Don't listen to the naysayers....listen to your heart....that is where God talks to you.

    When God call a person is this kind of strange situations involved. You must be happy ever, rejoice and come to a good church, you have to find one, but remember not all the sheep of the lord are true, some are very passionated to Him, others just fill benches, and do not care about the word of God. You need to keep doing questions, as many questions, and never quit, the more questions you do more is to learn but always take the best answers because there are so many confused believers that can give you the wrong answer. You always have to fallow Jesus, and His word, that is thr truth. There are so many called Christian that does not give good testimony of Christianity but you do not have to quit been a Christian because only with Jesus you have Salvation to your Soul. Buda, was only a created god from indu chinese, and this died and never been real. But Jesus is Lord. At the end of times Jesus said that all eye will see Him coming in the clouds for His people, and after He will Judge all the worlds' people.

    It is not about religion. Religion in itself is nothing. What we are all looking for is a relationship with our Saviour. No-one but Jesus has said, "I AM the WAY the TRUTH and the LIFE..." Jesus is either Lord, Liar or Lunatic. Make up your mind. This describes it all, He is Lord. Ask Him into your life, it will be the only choice that will make a difference to your soul.

    I say He is Lord, try Him and find out for yourself. Everything in life happens for a reason.

    "Limited in his understanding and experience by his five physical senses, man compared to God is little better than an insect. His world exists for only a small distance in any direction, and yet he considers his opinion enlightened in all directions."

    The following books are an excellent read.

    There's even better reasons than signs and wonders to get closer to God. There's the wisdom of his Word. That's what Jesus meant when he said to Thomas the doubter, "Blessed are those who do not see, and yet believe." If you don't feel that most Christians are living up to what they believe, you could be right. But is that God's failure or their own? You should get a hold of a King James version and try to determine from that who God is. The political animal is not Christianity, there's no party line you have to sign up with just because you want to get to know Him. Righteousness, justice, mercy -- there's really a God for those things, and His name is God.

    there is nothing wrong with other religions. buddist are very wise as some famous quotes come from them. just ask some other religions that believe in god. if they are doing the right thing of course they will say that they feel more peace. as for all those things i think god is trying to speak to you. he probably wants you to go to church as an important message might come to you. something that could talk about a sin your struggling with. or something you dont know. seriously, god has wierd ways to speak to people.

    Absolutely. You'll never be satisfied unless you make an attempt. It's not like anything bad could happen if you decided to attend church. Give it a shot, but don't just attend church blindly. Actually seek knowledge about the religion. Talk to people who are religious. Talk to your crush. I'm sure your crush would love to speak with you about their religion.

    You don't have a choice Jesus is or jesus isn't who he says he is ...Sounds like you aren't aware of what the scripture really is saying .. lets assume you've read 1 of the 4 gospels ... I'd read romans to revelations and pray fro wisdom while doing it and lay inordinant doubt at the door

    I think you should stick to Buddhism. I don't see very many Buddhist going around judging and criticizing people. Plus you learn meditation and how to tap into your inner self. Crosses are everywhere period. There's no phenomena there. Those who question religion are always attacked by it. Don't give in. But do be open minded. For there is some truth in the Bible.

    I believe that God is trying to get your attention so that you can know Him and make the right decision for your life before it is too late. Try getting yourself the Bible and reading it for yourself and see what YOU believe. Don't rely on what others have said because God can show you what you are to believe and that will strenthen your relationship with God. By the way, there is no religion over another one that will make Heaven. We will all be believers in Jesus Christ and it won't matter what we call ourselves. It is what we believe and how we live this life that lasts for God.

    It's never a bad idea to attempt to strengthen your relationship with God - the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.
