Because you believe that it is true, and I’d like to know what your reasons are. I mean...you are a Christian, here, on an atheist forum. I think it’s a pretty reasonable question, don’t you?
That's a fair request.
I can't remember the exact sequence of events in my life, but at age 4 I was introduced to whom I understood was God, through nature, without the influence of people or church. I was born into a situation of considerable suffering, to say the least, and this experience would prove to be my sanity and assurance throughout life. It was as if I came out of the dark into the light, from fear, pain and confusion to color, love and protection.
I began to read the Bible around that age, by my own choice and interest. So I don't really know what it is like to be seeking evidence, seeing that the natural world was clearly an example of power, integrity and intelligence.
The evidence for the Bible is what God is to me personally. The kindness and passionate interest in my spiritual welfare, temporal needs and future.
