The best thing to do is pray for him, that God would open his eyes. You can't change his mind by arguing about it and you can't win their soul either. Only God can do that. He will send the Holy Spirit to soften his heart and someone or something to show him the way. Prayer on your part is the key.

What, the key or the Holy Spirit? I guess you could call it a virtual machine... God is a Spirit and all who worship Him must do so in spirit and in truth. And prayer is the key to knowing Him in every way.

If a person does not believe, then chances are you are not going to convince them otherwise. Beating someone over the head with your beliefs and telling a person that what they believe or do not believe in is wrong, will only alienate and lead to hard feelings.

This is very simple,you have your faith,that is enough,if you try to convince me in your religious beliefs,be prepared to turn the other cheek,because at least one side is going to be very sore. Everyone has their own way,as most have already been brainwashed by their parents. So,please save your self and stay out of other peoples lives unless they ask you. thank you

When some times you witness miracles than believe there is some one who has the power to do so and that is the GOD. When you think you can't be alive but you are than you must believe that there is GOD

It is going to be a hard task if I am asked to convince someone that there is a God. I believe that a lot of people believe in God. The only difference is that we have different teachings of what our God is like. I have my own belief too, and I do believe that we have a maker and it might be different as to how others perceive there God to be. And I am satisfied of my own understanding. But although I have my own strong affirmation of what God I believe in is like, I still won't be able to convince others, because others have their own beliefs that like us they have been carrying that belief for the rest of there lives. And that's what makes it really hard because their own belief could be as strong as yours. I can understand how you feel. But just let them be. I know that what they bare doing isn't right because they have no respect for what others believe in, but they are just not that worth it. God bless!

You can't and shouldn't. People should be able to believe in what they want.

Like other people said, there's really no way to convince people. It's all up to. As Christians the only thing we can do is let them know what we believe and just show them through our actions.

Well first of all as a christian you need to live according to the word of God because, if we ourselves are lacking behind and not living according to the word of God then it will be very difficult to set an example for others. Now coming to the discussion, about convincing others we should go in a slow and simple process because this is not an easy task to take up, we also have our opponent Devil who will make each and every possible way to get the soul to his kingdom, I experienced this many times when you have friends who you think you can change but the reality is its very difficult to do this. When you try to explain them in one go, they will make you mad and laugh at you. So concluding on the topic if we one to win one's soul we should be with them and throughout hard times and as well as soft times, when you see a friend is depressed take the chance and explain him according to the situation, Make the best use of such things, iam sure not completely but a part of his life will be concurred by christ.

For me think of your cell if you have scars you don't put medicine then it will vain so if no God bless you do it really cured?. so in that case there is Jehovah God.They need you to worship him since he is gave your life more and your soul became good.

I don't think that it is possible to convince anyone that there is A god. That is a decision that each person needs to make for themselves - pressing your religion and beliefs onto someone else is likely to just make them even more avoidant and resistant to that religion - there is nothing worse than someone trying to forcibly make you believe something. you should believe what you believe, and respect others for what they choose to believe (or not believe.)

For me the best solution or way to convince others that there is a God is that showing them through our words and actions. How can we influence someone if they were not able to in us a good example. We need to show others the love that Christ have given to us through sharing and being concerned of them.

The most valuable thing to convince people that God really exist is for them to look in the mirror why they exist.

One thing I know how to prove others that God exists is by showing Him that God exists, through signs and wonders. Just like what Jesus did, He showed and proved what He is saying about God the Father with healing, casting out demons, and many other miracles.. I believe that's the only way now a days, because man only believes in what they see. And I know that God is desperate for people to know Him. I have already seen signs and wonders before my eyes.. It wasn't even so holistic. One Christian conference, a pastor taught us about miracle money and miracle height increase and guess what, I had miracle money and I saw a kid literally gained height of about 2 inches in just a second.. It was really great!

make some appointment and do a Bible study teach him what is written in the Bible and share some verses that He or she can relate in the passage at the same time do it with prayer ask some help to God that He will guide you and help to make them understand that Jesus is really exist because with out him and his holy spirit its hard to do what we desire.
