    Well I'm not saying that the bible is false or our souls aren't actually true, but people have to actually see this stuff happening, like I know my questions might be stupid, but how are people gonna tell me to believe in God, but I don't even know if the Bible is actually true? , because yes people were NOT alive back then, and people want me just to go by a Bible or a book, but what if you don't know if it's a book, it could be something else because none of us were alive to tell us what the Bible actually is. I do believe in God, but some of the things that people or my family want me to believe doesn't make sense.

    Jocelynne,

    I am wondering if you feel that you received the answers you desired from your post?

    I have prayed for you and I am confident that God will lead you to the answers. This can certainly come from reading the Bible.

    As some have mentioned, being sure of being a Christian believer is vital. So, please go to the link on this site mentioned by Mishael.

    You can google questions or topics and read from Christian sites to find some information that may explain some of your questions.

    Got QuestionsDOTcom is a good site.

    Christian Archeology is another.

    Keep asking questions on here.

    We want to help you, so, hearing from you will allow us to converse more with you.

    Poor thing and honestly what most people think they know is gossip not gospel. they just repeat what was taught to them. There weren't people back then, your kidding right. maybe you should study history there is actual proof of it documented and it includes Chistian's the Greeks, Hebrews, Israel, Jewish people and nations, ruins of them as well all which line up with the Bible. Go travel to the middle east and see it. Like Jesus told Thomas stick your hand in my side and the holes in my hand if you don't believe I rose from the dead thus the saying: doubting Thomas was born, two things (1) it's faith, faith in things you can see is not faith, faith is believing of the unseen, like God, you say you believe in God, well guess what so does satan and it will no more help satan then it will you. Hebrews 11:1

    "Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen."

    Ok (2) 2 Corinthians 13:12 Study to show thyself approved unto God and not your family study and then tell you, got that now look here John 14:26

    "But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you." and

    Now one is anointed by the Holy Ghost 1 John 2:27

    "But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him."

    Did you read that, (and ye not that any man teach you)

    If you believe in God then read the Bible, read it like any other book, like a history book and learn what it says, about the people places and events that took place it has amazing accounts in it of real men and their lives and journeys

    I can testify that people believe some dumb things about the Bible, Jesus called them traditions of men and fables Good luck

    King James Version (KJV)

    Dear Jocelynne, I will pray for you today.

    Lord Jesus, Jocelynne is reaching out to You for help in believing Your Word in Scriptures and has many questions about how You brought Creation about so long ago. Bring her to information that will help explain some of what she reads in Scripture, perhaps in posts on this site or other sites. I trust that You will guide her searching and questioning to satisfying, truthful information. I ask this in your name today, Jesus. Amen.

    Maybe you haven't been back to read your answers?

    There's a LINK out on the red page where you entered the rooms: BECOME A CHRISTIAN

    I think it will be most helpful to you. Let us know if the comments were helpful?

    Hi Jocelynne.

    Don't be discouraged, You are asking questions that many have asked and they're not stupid questions.

    There is not much I can do to make you believe what is written using scripture if you don't believe in the scripture.

    But I would like to share that the bible is actually 66 books with over 40 different authors written over a span of thousands of years yet these books Harmonize as a single msg.

    This fact along with the many fulfilled prophecy should be enough to consider this book to be unique and not just another history book.

    Most history books give an accurate account on what has already past. The bible gives accurate accounts on what's future, what's present, and what has already past.

    One of the most recent is Israel restored back to the land in 1948.

    Ezekiel 37:21 (KJV) And say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I will take the children of Israel from among the heathen, whither they be gone, and will gather them on every side, and bring them into their own land:.

    Read all of Ezekiel ch 7. This Prophecy is not completely fulfilled but it is continuing to unfold before our very eyes!!

    Jocelynne pray to God to come into your life and open your eyes to his word and understanding.

    Only he can do that,

    And everyone who has wisdom and understanding git it from God, otherwise he/her don't have it!

    You said you believe in God trust him, he want leave us without understanding.

    I pray someone helps in this matter and would like to expand on this.

    I will check on you in a day or so.

    God bless you.

    1 Corinthians Chapter 2

    12 Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but THE SPIRIT which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God.

    13 Which things also we speak, not in the words which man's wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teaches; comparing spiritual things with spiritual.

    14 But the natural man receives not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.

    John 3, Jesus said we must be born again, to receive the HOLY SPIRIT,

    living on the inside of us.

    [you must speak these things openly, to receive them, openly]

    Be brave. Mishael

    I do not mean to wound or be rude, but you are being lied to by "lying spirits".

    The whole planet is in denial that "This End of the World"__Jesus Stuff__God is our Father__the World is going to burn up. etc. 2 Peter 3

    You're afraid the Bible, which has survived 6000 years of opposition, Jesus's Crucifixion and Resurrection___might be Truth.

    See, Isaiah 14 teaches that Lucifer (SATAN) is real. He hates God, Jesus, the Bible, Christians, and he KNOWS his end will be in the Lake of Fire. He wants TO HURT as many people he can who might possibly read a Bible and ask JESUS to come live in their hearts.

    Satan sends out his lying spirits to shake your tiny faith and__take you to hell with him.

    They did that to me. 20+years. I was suicidal. God reached down into the mess of my life and pulled me up; and showed me his Son. It took 2 years to learn how to get all those evil spirits out of my ears. If you choose Jesus and BELIEVE his story in the Bible: all those lying voices will just GO away.

    ASK the Lord to help you. Tell Him what you need. I needed those things to stop telling me death is a fluffy blanket.

    Read 1-2-3 John in the back of the Bible (in front of Revelation). Jesus is Your Advocate. Like a defense attorney. Whatever lies, doubts, confusion, chaos, rail to Jesus about you__Jesus will dismiss those charges for you. You will be free. Just like me. You will become strong inside.

    These scriptures are for you too:

    Song of Solomon chapter 2:9, 6:3, 7:10

    He will never leave you.
