Question

There are millions of people from all walks of life. All from ethnic backgrounds and ways. Do you think you would know God if he or she paid you a visit on earth while u are alive. Do you think u deserve to be visited by GOD.

Answer 1

The answer to this question depends on your definition/perception of who/what God is. It is all a matter of belief. Around the world, every day, countless people of all religions will claim to have experienced God's presence (spiritually) at some point, specially when they experience an answered prayer or what they believe to be a miracle- a desired yet unlikely outcome to a situation. Common to many religions is the idea that God is so great that he is "everywhere", and many who believe this claim to feel God's presence in things, his presence after praying or meditating. Many people claim to hear his voice, and receive messages from God, of instruction, warning or encouragement. Personally, I would not say I always "feel" God's presence, but I do feel constantly aware of his existence. At times when i need to excercise restraint, I feel like he is a presonal life coach sitting on my shoulder.. what most people would call their "consience", except I feel that rational thought prompting me to do good does not come from me, but from something greater. Some people call it God, some people call it collective conciousnes, some people may even believe is the voice of the souls of their departed loved ones. in my perceptions, I identify this as the devine. As for wether God makes physical visits, as in aphysical body, I belive that Jesus was sucha maniphestation.. other people similarly believe other prophets or leaders have been a such physical manifestation of the devine as well. I do also believe that is possible that God sends people or causes us to meet with certain people in order to accomplish a helpful purpose in their lives. As for wether anyone is worthy of God's visit, that is also a matter of what views one ascribes to. In some belief systems, man's attempts at righteousness can never even come close to deserving God's love and attention- this is something he freely gives to us, because he loves us and because we need it. in other belief systems, the believer must perform certain rituals to show their devotion in order to deserve God's favor. I kind of believe in both. If God is great and the creator and sustainer of life, it is therefore necessary for him to approach us first, for we could not carry life on by our own means.. but to derive maximum effort of our "relationship" with God, one must desire that connection and seek ways to connect.. (make it two sided).

Answer 2

I don't know if God himself will actually ever make an appearance on the Earth as himself, unless the world is coming to an end, but I believe instead that we can see God everyday by looking at all the beautiful things in life like flowers, babies, and even the nonbeautiful things like someone who is down on their luck yet still believes. I don't believe that I am deserving to be visited by God when there are so many more people more deserving than myself, who am I anyways? That doesn't mean that I don't believe however, I do wholeheartedly. I do however believe that God sends his angels to earth in all different human forms to help. Think about that the next time you are walking down the street. Call my crazy, but that is what I believe

Answer 3

I firmly believe God is with me at all times. He is here via the third portion of the Trinity, the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is with everyone who wishes to acknowledge His Presence. Those who move away from God are ignoring the Spirit. God never leaves us, we leave Him. So, yes, God visits everyone here on earth. Each person is a Child of God and therfor He is vastly interested in our lives. He does not ignore us, He is with us, inside us, via the Holy Spirit. Each person deserves to have the Spirit with him/her. We are all equally deserving, equally loved. Even those who we think are bad people, those who choose to do bad things have the ability to have the Spirit with them. We are here to grow, to acheive wisdom, as much as is possible on this plane of existance. One day we shall have the ability to utilize our full brain potential, rather than only the ten percent we currently can use. When that time occures we will understand all which we are unable to now. Yes, God visits us. all of us. We are all deserving of the Holy Spirit. The more we acknowlege Him, the mroe we feel HIm. The closer we draw to Him, the deeper our connection is and the more we are able to listen to His Still Soft Voice.

Answer 4

God DID come down and walk the earth. "He was in the world, and the world was made through him, yet the world did not know him. He came to his own, and his own people did not receive him. But to all who did receive him, who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God, who were born, not of blood nor of the will of the flesh nor of the will of man, but of God." (John 1:9-13)

He will come Back to earth some day, the Bible says, "But in those days, after that tribulation, the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light, and the stars will be falling from heaven, and the powers in the heavens will be shaken. And then they will see the Son of Man coming in clouds with great power and glory. And then he will send out the angels and gather his elect from the four winds, from the ends of the earth to the ends of heaven." (Mark 13:24-27)

Answer 5

I think God does visit people. Not necessarily in the human form or visible form but he is here spiritually. The bible says whenever 2 or more are gathered together in his name, then he will be there. Sometimes I can just feel his presence beyond a shadow of a doubt. I know he is around.

Answer 6

SInce Jesus came into the earth (The word in flesh), He has made it possible for the communication and relationship as well as fellowship to be returned to man. God does speak to us as believers all the time - Jesus also said that "we would hear his voice and the voice of a stranger we would not follow". God speaks audibly to some, and to others, he uses people. He pays us a visit all the time through the love that we show others. He said that the least we do unto them (those that are hungry, in prison, need salvation, healing, etc.) we are doing unto him. So we have to recognize the form in which He comes to us. He lives inside of us and therefore we are his workmanship and we carry his will and desires in our spirits. He is always with me and I am visited by him daily as I pray, meditate, sing songs of praise and through giving my love to others as he loved me.

Answer 7

The Spirit of God does visit his followers and believers. I can feel the Lord's presence around me at any given time. God is everywhere.

Answer 8

The problem became when ppl start educating thier self. Why in the world would GOD want to apear to educated ppl. Then he will really have to perform some miracles ( not like turning water into the wine)
Since more and more ppl start thinking and get educated GOD realises its best for him just keep working on other planets.
Therefore GOD exists

Answer 9

Everyone will answer this according to whether it supports their beliefs.

Religionists will tell you how its so great without him now or how he really is around everywhere in an esoteric way.

Rationalists will tell you its just another reason why not accepting something that isn't there and can't be tested in a rational way is the way to go.

Answer 10

No. first God is beyond the sexes, Jesus called him father,so we can't call him she. We feel God all the time in Prayer. God is omnipotent. He controls the Universe. Humans can never see God without dying. We have the holy spirit we guides us troughout our lives. It is all about FAITH. Unbelievers always want to SEE.
