In a recent forum, I was asked why I believed in God.

The basic point of this forum was that Christianity is a polytheistic religion and that Christians worship four gods, the Father, the Son, the Holy Spirit, and the Bible.

I stated that I believed what the bible said, that it is a book that was written over thousands of years, by tax collectors, doctors, fishermen, kings, rich and poor, in times of plenty and famine, war and peace and that I think it is the inspired, inerrant word of God, but that I do not base my belief in God solely on the Bible, nor do I worship the book itself.

I stated that God is real and that I believe in Him. This is where I was attacked. The gentlemen with whom I was discussing these matters stated that it was stupid that I could say in one breath that God was real, and then state in the next sentence that I believed in Him.

I wrote back to him that the air is real and I believe in it as well. I went on in my post to list the evidence in my life that supported my belief in God.

This drew another attack from a woman. She stated that this is a horrible analogy as air can have its existence proven by scientific tests, and that God cannot have His existence proven.

Well, I simply believe He can. I think the evidence of His work in my life is proof enough to me of His existence. I believe the evidence of His work in the lives of people I know is proof enough of His existence. Rocket science it isn't, but it is faith. I choose to believe it. There is just too much there for it not to be true.

So, I will keep on believing. I don't need a scientific experiment to prove God's existence to me. All I need is His love. All I need is His forgiveness. I know I have those.
