John 3:12 says "If I have told you earthly things and ye believe not, how shall ye believe if I tell you of heavenly things?"

Romans 10:14 says "How then shall they call on Him in whom they have not believed? And how shall they believe in Him of whom they have not heard? And how shall they hear without a preacher?"

In other words, I felt that was addressing your question. You were wondering how someone is to "believe". I chose those two passages because to me they are saying "doubters will always doubt, until someone teaches them any different". I'm not smart enough to teach anything about the Bible, but to me those passages are saying that in order to truly understand God, you have to study it. Follow?




Moses parted the red sea...can I go part the red sea if I believe in God? Can you part any sea cuz you have faith???
You have to read the full story. Moses didn't part the Red Sea just because he was faithful. He parted the Red Sea as a direct order from God in order to escape persecution. I suppose if you God chose you to lead slaves out of Egypt, he'd give you whatever powers you'd need to do that too.


Has anyone else had a miracle virgin conception since Mary???
There's only ONE Jesus, so why would there be a need for another one?

I know the bible says why Jesus rose from the dead, but has anyone else been able to rise from the dead in modern times?
Same answer as above. There is only ONE Jesus. If there were many, there would be no way to tell the real from the fake.

You can't just refer me back to the bible when I'm asking questions about the bible and what it says. I already know what it says and it still doesn't make sense.
I quoted things from the bible because to me they explain some of the questions you have. I was hoping they'd do the same for you. Unfortunately, I'm no Bible scholar so I don't have the tools to explain any further than that. Maybe you should ask a priest or preacher and see if they give you an answer that makes sense to you.

That's like me asking you to help me with a calculus problem and you referrring me back to the same equation. Dan does that all the time with calc. He's like...it's right there. Can't you see it??!!! With no explanation.
Dan's smarter than you and I, so I can't help you there.
