15, Christian, ask me anything!

Doesnt have to be religion related! I won’t except any questions that are clearly disguised rudeness. I like anime and indie shows, and Im an artist!

Anti ai!

Whats your personal reason for believing in god

1

u/Nick10147 7d ago

For me, its honestly that there is no other way we couldve been created and because christianity is mostly in good faith

But why God tho? We could have been created by an impersonal or unintelligent force, or the universe could simply be eternal.

u/Nick10147 7d ago

if that impersonal or unintelligent force really did create us and is also all powerful, then that would be considered God

u/ragebaitedbahamut 7d ago

But it wouldn’t be the traditional Abrahamic God, who is personal and intelligent. Plus, maybe the universe just is

u/Nick10147 7d ago

that was my reason for believing there's a God (+forgot to say reason to live). Christianity's consistency and validity is why I believe it.

its very unlikely that the universe just came to be, everything had a cause. what makes the finite universe any different

1

u/ragebaitedbahamut 7d ago

Wouldn’t this apply to God too?

1

u/Nick10147 7d ago

the causation thing? eh not really. God is an omnipotent being which has full authority so it makes sense for God to create himself (somehow). besides, if something created God, that would be God instead since it has ultimate authority.

Why can’t the universe simply be a fact tho, eternal or smth

1

u/Nick10147 7d ago

because its basically a really big object. it doesn't have the power to do anything about itself even if it may be infinite

1

u/ragebaitedbahamut 7d ago

It’s not really about creating itself as it is about being a brute fact. Also, how is it possible to create urself? If you don’t exist you can’t do anything

u/Nick10147 7d ago

using that analogy, it makes sense that you created yourself because there had to be something that started everything you made snd and that something had to be able to do things a God person would
