Responce to the question:
"Let's say you gave a child that hadn't been influenced by their parents or surroundings ( impossible I know) about religion. You set them down when they where old enough to make rational decisions. Gave them the holy books and told them to decide for themselves.
I think they would want to see some evidence besides just written word. What evidence would you supply for your religion other that it's true because God said so."
Responce:
Just as the bible says I would ask them to test these things to see if they are true and not just pre judge. Apply the Word to their lives and see if you experience Evidence. Heb.11:1 "Faith is the Substance of things hoped for the Evidence of things unseen"! The profound evidence is Spiritual (self evident). Spirit is unseen physically other than by its effects and or fruits. Most people coming to the faith without spiritual eyes and ears (experiences) seek physical evidence so in regards to this i would 1) show them how Phy. science has Played catch up to the Word! 2) show them how Archaeology continues to document the storylines 3) Show them how PROPHACY continues to play out against all rational odds (Jews and Christians walk according to prophacy). 4) I would show them basics of study (properly dividing the Word/ So that Everytime they read The Written Word they see another (layer of) truth thus grow in it and have them discern if its feeding them spiritually 5) Ask them to discern how it impacts their life. The Word shows you the ways of life/death. It can show you how to be blessed or cursed. 6) I would suggest that Everything is subjected to it. It describes even its enemies (those who reject it) in better (more relevant) ways than they care to (acknowledge) themselves....

Responce to someone constantly asking about "G-D". This person keeps on with the questions its like a child that you answer the question then they say why. then you tell them why and they ask why,... Gavin you keep seeking the source and when you are told of the source you keep asking. I know your not intentionally trying to be rude but its rather simple His name is I Am That I Am, I will be(come) what (who, where that) I will be(come), I Am all and all unto u the self existing one. He doesn't need a creator or even a beginning. He Is It (the Source of all things). When i was like 9 or 10 i remember rotating around the concept (which men can do) and asking my Papa if G-d was in the beginning when was the beginning? Time is in relation to creation (to us) Not Him! Time is relative to space/distance (between two objects) in the scientific field of documented evidence and understanding. He created these too. He is All and All. He completes us and is the source. We see everything in a very limited view as men but he Is greater than all that. I hope you allow the simplicity of it all to flow and dont compound yourself with trying to relate him to carnal mindsets and conclusions. G-D is Spirit. GBU (Ps.90:2/ Jn.1:3)
