Proof, proof and more proof?

What proof if any could convince you that Chrtianity is 100% true?

Isn't this thread a bit redundant?

I think it would help if you spelled out, precisely, what you mean by that question (it's kinda broad). For example: "What proof if any could convince you that Jesus is the True Messiah / One and Only Son of God / God?"

Depending on your type of faith 😐

I personally dont belong to any one type of christianity, rather I just believe whats right.

However I do believe that Catholocism is a corrupted religion...

Seeing as it marks people such as the Pope as a higher authority than normal people where in god's eyes we are all the same authority

You could ask for a sign and if you get one you could have your answer. And if you don't Christianity could still be true, but it could also be wrong.

For any religion, not only Christianity to be 100% true, they must first prove that their god exists and is indeed all powerful. Afterwards, they must show that their religion is better than the others.

Even if I saw Christ right in front of my own eyes, I would still not believe, because my eyes may be deceiving me, so seeing is not believing. Any proof can be doubted, because nobody can be 100% sure about ANYTHING ever, as we can always doubt even our own experiences.

You make it sound like non-believers are fairly drowning in proof and yet refuse to accept Christianity is true. While it might be redundant I have to say "sorry, that isn't true."

What proof would convince me? Oh, I don't know - some evidence God actually exists? Some tangible reason to believe there is a heaven/hell? Some proof that he actually cares even a smidgen, like I don't know, appearing as a great big ball of light and stopping the next Tsunami that is about to wipe out a few hundred thousand people? Some actually reason why gay people are bad and why women shouldn't be priests? And so on and so one....

You know, even a little bit of proof that all the gut wrenching stuff these TV evangelists go on about is real? Because at the moment the seems to be 0% proof that Christianity is 100% true. And if all Christianity has to show for 2000 years of work is 0% proof, then I find it hard to get my hopes up.

I think your interpretation is a innacurate.

The point of this thread is "how do you know it is right?"

And Cathoicism is no more corrupted than any other branch. People like Pat Robertson have done more Damage than many Popes have.

I would say some spiritual gifts like speaking in tongues, miracles, and healing are slightly miraculous and are an impossiblity that needs a better explanation by science.

Explanation = over active imagination along with a delusional teaching that promotes such things.

The ability to speak in languages unknown to you? I'm sure that an overactive imagination cannot explain that.

I have seen people speak in tongues, and it was simple hysteria.

If you had someone to translate perhaps it would have made more sense. In fact the Bible teaches that Christians should not publicly speak in tongues without a translator or interpreter.

Have you ever been to a Pentecostal Church? I think they would disagree with you.

They would be ignoring the Bible then according to 1 Corinthians 14:26-28. If they don't have an interpreter they should be silent.

Christians ignoring the bible? 😱

*I don't think I could be more sarcastic.*

Please...can science explain these things I made up?

Science is not anti-religion. Please get over it.

First of all I'd like proof that Jesus ever existed. I've come across none outside the Christian Bible.
Then I'd need someone to prove to me, that the Bible is the infalliable word of a deity. The Christian Bible is filled with faulty translations, contradictions, and scientific nonsense.
Then I'd probably like someone to explain to me why God once interferred directly (Sodoma and Gomorra, burning bushes, parting oceans) and then CHANGED his mind.

Quite possibly, the question, in my eyes would have seemed innocent enough, but the inclusion of the "what proof *if any*" - which seemed to imply that it is even possible if there was "proof, proof and more proof"(as the thread title said) that people would not accept 100% that Christianity is true, which in turn links up with the recent spate of posters who believe just quoting the bible = unquestionable proof, and that people who don't believe are unreasonable even when provided with such proof (where as just quoting the Bible is most certainly not proof.)
