About Me:
Why do so many fail to believe Jesus' own words? He said: "I will come again." The prophet Zechariah even tells us where He will return: "And in that day His feet will stand on the Mount of Olives, which faces Jerusalem on the east. And the Mount of Olives shall be split in two, from east to west, making a very large valley; half of the mountain shall move toward the north and half of it toward the south" (Zechariah 14:4).
The Mount of Olives is just east of the Temple Mount in Jerusalem. On the southeast slope is an old road that leads to the village of Bethany. Jesus spent time there with Mary, Martha, Lazarus and His disciples. My wife and I have walked that same road from Bethany to the Mount of Olives. It took us just about a half-hour.
When Jesus returns to the Mount of Olives, there will be a massive earthquake, and the mountain will split in two. Notice the time setting. "Behold, the day of the Lord is coming, and your spoil will be divided in your midst. For I will gather all the nations to battle against Jerusalem" (Zechariah 14:1--2). The world's armies will gather at Megiddo and come down to Jerusalem to fight Christ at His coming. Revelation 16:14 calls it "the battle of that great day of God Almighty"—more popularly called "Armageddon."
The book of Acts also confirms Christ's return. In Acts 1, the disciples witnessed Jesus' ascension. "And while they looked steadfastly toward heaven as He went up, behold, two men stood by them in white apparel, who also said, 'Men of Galilee, why do you stand gazing up into heaven? This same Jesus, who was taken up from you into heaven, will so come in like manner as you saw Him go into heaven.' Then they returned to Jerusalem from the mount called Olivet, which is near Jerusalem, a Sabbath day's journey" (Acts 1:10--12).
Here we have seen three plain scriptural references to the second coming of Christ—and there are many more. Remember the announcement of the seventh trumpet: "Then the seventh angel sounded: and there were loud voices in heaven, saying, 'The kingdoms of this world have become the kingdoms of our Lord and of His Christ, and He shall reign forever and ever!'" (Revelation 11:15).
Note also this passage from Revelation 19: "He was clothed with a robe dipped in blood, and His name is called The Word of God. And the armies in heaven, clothed in fine linen, white and clean, followed Him on white horses. Now out of His mouth goes a sharp sword, that with it He should strike the nations. And He Himself will rule them with a rod of iron. He Himself treads the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God. And He has on His robe and on His thigh a name written: King of kings and Lord of Lords" (Revelation 19:13--16).
Jesus said that, preceding His return, there would be false religions, and false signs and wonders that will deceive many. He stated: "For false christs and false prophets will rise and show great signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect" (Matthew 24:24). There will be powerful religious deceptions. Not just the few, but the many will be deceived by false religions—even false Christianity.

the same verse translation by A Yusuf Ali ...
سنريهم آياتنا في الآفاق وفي أنفسهم حتى يتبين لهم أنه الحق أولم يكف بربك أنه على كل شيء شهيد
Soon will We show them our Signs in the (furthest) regions (of the earth), and in their own souls, until it becomes manifest to them that this is the Truth. Is it not enough that thy Lord doth witness all things?
I think this translation is better .
Peace (^_^) ♥

((Say, "Have you considered: if the Qur'an is from Allah and you disbelieved in it, who would be more astray than one who is in extreme dissension?" ))
((We will show them Our signs in the horizons and within themselves until it becomes clear to them that it is the truth. But is it not sufficient concerning your Lord that He is, over all things, a Witness? ))
Quran ( 41:52-53 )
قُلْ سِيرُوا فِي الْأَرْضِ فَانظُرُوا كَيْفَ بَدَأَ الْخَلْقَ ۚ
Say, [O Muhammad], "Travel through the land and observe how He began creation. Quran ( 29:20 )
إِنَّ فِي خَلْقِ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ وَاخْتِلَافِ اللَّيْلِ وَالنَّهَارِ لَآيَاتٍ لِّأُولِي الْأَلْبَابِ
Indeed, in the creation of the heavens and the earth and the alternation of the night and the day are signs for those of understanding.
Quran ( 3:190 )
Whether we are in Europe or Asia or Africa
God gave each human ► heart , mind , eyes and hearing
Then gave & sent down to us ( verses and signs ) that guide us to the existence of the Creator.
► Can we use what God has granted us to know the truth?

These video about the Prophet Ibrahim, peace be upon him.
How Allah/God Guide him to the truth ? The truth of the universe.
I've never had any evidence come forth to support the existence of one, and everything i've seen leads me away from the belief rather than towards it. All religions have contradictions and blatant flaws, and no reported god is consistent even conceptually let alone one being shown in reality to exist.
That's a statement that makes no sense, you just said you believe without evidence that belief without evidence sustains you. I think you've got a warped definition of faith or are doing the humpty dumpty definition changing of words.
"for my own sake I have to keep going forward with my beleif in a God that created everything that has come into being."
Why? Do you not care about truth or care about if what you believe is supported by evidence at all?
"This is why God made a perfect way for us through Jesus."
Wrong, if you look through the bible this is an immoral and unnecessary thing to do. Why would I believe that Jesus existed as the bible says he did when we know now that it most likely isnt true and is actually not true with a few of the claims about him? I take responsibility for my actions, I don't immorally need a scapegoat like christians do.
"Rather we choose that path"
So your god isn't omniscient?
