Do Christians actually want evidence?

[Drich]

Two options for a believer:

1) There is sufficient evidence to believe the Jesus/God claims in the bible, therefore no faith* is required to believe.

2) There is not sufficient evidence to believe (on evidence alone), which is why faith is required.

3)God is real and will provide whatever is needed to establish and maintain 'belief' IF one simply can humble himself to approach God on His terms and not our own.

Let's imagine Christianity is true, then the following occurs:

Any additional evidence that people find, e.g. they find Noahs Ark/prove the existence of God through logic/ find genuine non christian evidence of Jesus etc push you from 2) towards 1). Eventually you reach a point where faith is not required

Any evidence found will be boiled down to include only the evidence itself. In 'science' a hand full of bone fragments confirms ALL of prexisting theories of Homo erectus. If Noah's ark were found, it would only be proof of a really big boat shape was found on a mountain.. Then it would be dismissed as some goat hearders attempt to fool future generations to the vality of the story he conjoured up.

This would be fine, except Christians argue that God purposefully doesn't make his existence obvious** (some claim this would negate free will). So as more and more data supporting Christianity emerges, this plan to not be believed in, apart from those with faith, is slowly ruined.

Christians are not the ones making those claims.

* Faith here is defined as belief without sufficient evidence.

How much faith did Christ say that is required? That of a mustard seed. Everyone has been given that amount of faith.

*** Even if no hell, Christians almost always argue there are benefits to being a Christian, making life more pleasureable and tend to include life after death which is seen as a massive positive.

If a Christian is telling you that change the channel (because only tv preachers seem to believe this.)

The bible tells us the oppsite. God did not spare His own Son from Hardship and death, why would we expect anything different? Are we better than Christ?
