Not just those based on Christianity. A person must study Islam, Buddhists, Hindu, and as many other religions they can find. Then they must study the nature of the creatures that created all religion. That creature would be the human race. If you can understand why the human race created all religion, what it offers the human race, and what it offers a single human being, the question in your mind will become "does that higher power (if it exists) have anything to do with organized religion at all?". In the case of God and religion, the questions are more important than any answer. In order to get an accurate and objective view of God, a person must study all the worlds religions.

In legalese, he "proves" that Christ is God. Lee is a Yale Law graduate. Life does have meaning and hope. The study of apologetics will help you to see that the Bible is true. Finally, pray that God guides you to the Truth. Read the Case for Christ by former atheist Lee Strobel. In legalese, he “proves” that Christ is God. Lee is a Yale Law graduate.

Also, there is the common assumption that you must have been sinning to lose your way. Exactly, Tami. Also, there is the common assumption that you must have been sinning to lose your way.

There's also the assumption by some that you must have been offended by another parishner or perhaps just wanted an excuse to sin. Or maybe in all of your readings you’ve come across some “Anti” literature and have been influenced by Satan. To me these notions are all offensive because they negate any intelligent thought process you’ve had.
