In the New Testament, Jesus promised the Holy Spirit so that we could have signs, wonders, and miracles. Problem one is that Christians aren't living with enough faith to produce any evidence for the non-believers. I mean, seriously, would you have ANY problem believing that Jesus is the Son of God and savior of the world if you saw someone raised from the dead?
Feel free to ask for evidence. As a Christian, I just want to know what's wrong with us that we aren't producing such evidence. I do know this - one reason I have not abandoned my faith (even though there are countless things that make me question and re-question my beliefs often) is that I have seen with my own eyes the miraculous and I believe, not out of BLIND faith, but out of TRUST in who God is because of who He has revealed Himself to be.
Faith": a firm belief in something for which there is no proof; complete trust. Merriam Webster Why does it bug atheists that some people are quite content to have faith. In fact, there are studies that indicate faith is good for you: 1/23/05 ABC News: Is there a secret weapon against depression?
Research suggests it might be religion. Studies show that people who practice some sort of religion are happier and less stressed out than those who don't. Those findings come as no surprise to Dr. Harold Koenig, a psychologist and co-director of the Center for Spirituality, Theology and Health at Duke University, who says there are a number of factors that contribute to religious people being happier.
"Generally, religious people have a positive view of the world," said Koenig. "They believe they are here for a reason. They see a purpose and a meaning in their life and have hope."
Studies show that under severely stressful conditions, religious people also cope better. I guess miserable people love company.
