I'm a shy person. I always worry about being "presentable" in public ... I'm not a vain person at all, it's just that I worry about small things at the wrong times. I get really nervous in big public areas when I'm being stared at for example. I don't have an anxiety attack or anything, I just feel uncomfortable and don't know how to react.

Are some people that afraid of God?

2007-06-15 11:15:56 · 4 answers · asked by Anonymous

Knowing that God, as defined by the Abrahamic religions (Christianity, Islam, Judaism, Bahai Faith, etc.) is:

Omnipotent - all powerful
Omniscient - all knowing
Omnibenevolent - all loving
Omnipresent - everywhere at once

Is it conceivable that God has failed to get his/her message across?

Consider this: according to www.adherents.com, only 51% of the people on this planet believe in God as defined by the Abrahamic religions. If God intends for "his children" to return home someday, and half of them never make it, every day, every year, every century, what does that say about God's capabilities? Did he make a mistake in choosing to dictate his words through the Bible, centuries ago, and not provide any follow up?

If you get a 51% on a school paper, what grade do you get?

have I woken up?
I freely admit that I want to believe in God and Jesus' salvation as I'm afraid of death. I look at my son and I despair at the thought of his death being the end for him.
I've saw things I've called Miracles, I've experienced things I've called miracles, but as time goes by I begin to rationalise those things to myself and find that I write them off. "I was too emotional at the time" or, "I'm open to be persuaded and have let myself be fooled."
I've even spoken in tongues and can honestly say I don't know if it's a spiritual language or manifest nonsense.
I definitely do not subscribe to the belief that all faith is sinister and that Christianity is the bogey man in the shadows. This is because the people I've met who move in those circles genuinely want to server others. They feed and clothe the poor, they speak out for those who have no voice. However, is Christianity a forum for those with 'modern guilt' exorcising their own personal demons? I want to believe.

This question is particular to Christianity including those that some people judge as cults.

they both are "keeping track" of whether we are noddy or nice

they both require a LOT of "faith"

they both will reward us for being good, punish us for being bad (coal in the stocking)

they both descend from the sky...magically

they both are older, white males (at least that is how they are most often portrayed)

they both are supposed to me omnicient

so...
what do you think?

p.s. i am not critisizing anyones belief system. I am just asking a question because I love to see and hear different perspectives and world views.

peace......

Thou shalt have no other gods before me.

Jesus is worshipped as God.Yet even in the Bible he was a seperate entity.When God told Mary she would have a child it was to be his son.Hence seperate as in not himself.When Jesus spoke to God he did not speak to himself.He adressed the father.Hence he identified that God was seperate.He said, "nobody may get to the father but by me" or something along those lines.Hence he again identified the father as a seperate being.When he was on the cross he said to the father, "forgive them father for they know not what they do".Hence again he identified the father as seperate and even asked the father for a favor the he could not grant or he wouldn't have asked.

So, he is seperate and thus is another God to be worshipped.Right?Also, the trinity also is in contradiction to the first commandment as well since even the trinity tries to identify three as one when the first commandment doesn't say "thou shalt have no other God but the three me's"

not because he enjoyed it.....but because it was neccesary to keep the Hebrew nation alive and spreading the Gospel ,..if he didn't detroy them they would have over came the Hebrew nation and Christ would never been born to offer SALVATION.....so yes he did destroy their flesh because they were a threat always trying to enter mix ,so he removed them for this purpose,..... but Remember their souls were still intact, because even in ignorance god will give us a real chance to know him...that's why after the crucifiction ,Christ went to gehenna or (hell )to preach to the spirits or souls to give them the chance to repent of their wrong doing....this is free will....once they know the whole truth and the blinder are removed so they might see..Just think if your brother sister ...or little child was endanger to be detroyed murdered kidnapped by a stranger, what would you do to keep your baby safe?....remember God loves just like us....but much greater because he sees the big picture

Sometimes it seems that religion takes away people's ability to see the various shades of color in the world.
