My naive questions

[Drich]

Hello, i`m new here, but i`m motivated

I have a question for christians, but it`s valid for every religious person.

Let`s assume you become convinced there has to be a God who watches over everything you do. Before you choose your faith, wouldn`t it be reasonable to research every single belief in the world before choosing?

Yes

I mean, why choose something only because it`s popular in your area?

indeed. That is what it is to Ask, Seek and knock as outlined in Luke 11.

How do you know God didn`t convey his (because God has to be a man) message to someone in 2014, but they took him to to a psychiatric clinic and branded him a schizophrenic?

My answer may seem contray to what you believe about Christianity, but the short answer here is lack of proof. Look in the bible at how God establishes 'prophets/Apstoles.'

If God carries the '2014 messenger' as He did the apstoles and prophets then His message is worth listening to, so long as it jives with scripture.

Maybe God told him the devil has been active until 2013, but in 2014 God decided to intervene, why not?

I dont know what your asking here.
