Choosing to believe in something does not make it reality.

To answer your question... .no... I would LOVE to believe that there is a supernatural person thats going to make it all better one day, but my logic will not allow me to do so.

there are intermediate steps!

conversion doesnt always happen with a single profession of faith for example.

conversion might happen in an instant and one might be faithful all his days to a small, conversion or a partial conversion, but in such intermediate steps, full conversion happens when one forsakes all sin and no longer can be tempted of his own lusts.

to want to believe in God is not a full converse but a simple desire and hope for something that is greater but yet unseen or unrealized. imo

One who believes in God shows God His gratitude towards His great plan of salvation through good deeds.

In other words, good deeds with the believing in God is effective.

Actually, when God moves in your heart you chose to believe or not to believe. Every time you reject his wooing your heart becomes a bit harder and less able to respond to the light that he gives.

Atheists are unwilling to believe. They have shut their eyes tight and stopped up their ears lest they see or hear the truth.

The Holy Spirit convicts people of sin and proves the scriptures.

I'd think that if you were trying to find faith,...then you must have some assertion that God does in fact exists.

Otherwise why would you be seeking him?

Non-sequitur:

John 6:44; ' ... no one can come to Me unless the Father who sent Me draws him; and I will raise him up on the last day. '

How can just wanting to believe something is real make it so?

Dr., I don't think I agree with you. I think there is a continuum here running here. In the middle are honest, "I don't knows."

Huh??
