Is it only up to us to believe in God through the use of scripture, or does God play an actual role in this in our lives? Scripture says God does play an active role.
If God plays an "active role" in our knowledge of Him, then why many gods? Why Buddha?
My point, a Creator exists, but how can we truly know Him? Only through the Bible.
Maybe you are biased because of your upbringing, or location of birth?
Hindus would likely disagree with your opinions of God.

God is the best part of Christianity.

Why are you right?
Why are the Buddhists wrong?
If you are honest, you would say that your opinion is based entirely on the Bible, which others would not share the same perspective.

Originally posted by chaney3I would not say that since I did not become a Christian until I was 25 years old. I was into the pleasures in this world not church when I got saved. I didn't grow up with anyone who was a Christian, those in my life had nothing to do with God. So what did my location do, no one lived it, or talked about it, and I most certainly wasn't brought up reading the Bible.

With my life God became real to me before I started studying the Bible. Once saved I read and copied the scripture by hand, because I believed it to be the Word of God, not the work of man.

Judging by what I see on these boards regularly, I see far more 'misanthropy' in you than I ever see in him.
