Why doesn't God prove himself>>?

Question

I'm a Christian and many people ask this. This is my opinion...God gave us free-will. God upholds this so much that he allows us the choice to not believe in him, spit and crucify him. My point is that if God definitely proved himself then we would HAVE to believe in him. This is NOT the way God wants us to believe him, he wants us to voluntarily want to know him first with real love and not under a forceful act.Peace. Wut do u think>?

Answer 1

I agree. 100%. She will not interfere in our beliefs. Too bad humans can't take the hint and follow-suit.

Answer 2

"This is my opinion...God gave us free-will."

That's not true but, I'll pretend it is for the sake of argument.

"My point is that if God definitely proved himself then we would HAVE to believe in him."

No we wouldn't, you don't have to believe something exists when you KNOW it exists.

"This is NOT the way God wants us to believe him,"

Why not? An all good god has no reason not to let us know it without a shadow of a doubt that it exists.

"he wants us to voluntarily want to know him first with real love and not under a forceful act."

With real love? You mean we can't love god if we know it exists for a fact? You can't love something unless you don't know if it really exists or not? That doesn't make any sense at all

"Wut do u think>?"

I think you're completely wrong. God doesn't prove his existence to us because it either doesn't exist or it's evil, most likely the former.

Answer 3

I think you're totally right. God doesn't force Himself on anyone. The Scriptures say that He shows Himself in all the nature around us, the sky , the stars, everything.
The Scriptures also say that if people seek Him with all their hearts He will be found by them. Problem is, people don't seek God with all their hearts, they're just yakking and wanting to argue. You and I both know that when we asked Jesus into our hearts from our hearts, He came in, and He would do the same for them, but they don't want that.
Try to not argue as it doesn't change anybody's mind, but I know how you feel, I get questions all the time like this, just do your best, that's all the Lord asks that we do our best, He loves you and will give you wisdom when you ask for it.

Answer 4

Remember after Jesus was raised from the dead and Thomas had to check out where the nails had been? He was a disciple and still had problems believing. Jesus was right in front of him.
Even if He was to prove Himself people still wouldn't believe. However:
Look at the beauty of the world - that shows his handiwork.
The rainbow was a sign of his promise never to flood the world again.
There are miracles that happen everyday.
Faith is a gift of God. The irony is that we have free will but it takes faith to truly believe.

Answer 5

We did not crucify God we crucified Jesus
Do you not know the difference from God and Jesus????
God does not have to prove him self to us we have to prove our self to him.
To believe in god is apart of our free will.
To have faith in something we can see but if we listen we can hear him.
God comes from within so that's why people meditate to connect with our higher self that is our God Connection.
All our Answers to all our Questions are their if we take the time to still the mind and go within.
What do you think the meaning of
In the name of the Father the Son and the Holly Spirit means.
The Father is GOD
The Son is JESUS
The Holly Spirit is US.
Take time out meditate and connect to your God from Within.

He caused the sun to rise in the east every morning, and set in the west every evening, the oceans to bring waves to the shore, and upholds the very fabric of every law of science. That is proof enough for me.

Einstein said once that the universe, earth and life was way too complex to have "just happened" there has to be a greater source of power.

Answer 7

He does prove that he exists. People just turn the other way and ignore it. Look at the sunset. Look at the clouds some time. The sheer beauty of it should prove it. Not to mention, um, WE ARE HERE! haha

How would we exist if God didn't create us?

Also, if someone prays and asks God to show them a sign that he is there, he will do it if they are actually wanting to know.

Just my thoughts.

Answer 8

In the creation of the heavens and the earth, and the alternation of night and day, and the ship that sails in the sea with that which profits men, and the water that God sends down from the heaven wherewith He revives the earth after it is dead, and scatters therein all types of animals, and the turning about of winds, and the clouds controlled between heaven and earth, there are signs for a people who understand.(Quran 2:164)



YES.. GOD SHOWS US HIS SIGNS.

Answer 9

God has proved himself to many people over the years. He proved himself to Adam and Eve. He walked among the Garden of Eden with them. Until they sinned and God cast them out. He showed himself to Moses.He talked to many men that are mentioned in the bible. Noah, Cain and Abel, Abraham, Issac and Jacob. He led the children of Isreal out of the wilderness.He parted the Red Sea. Now if you could ask the children of Israel that were present when the Red Sea was parted, they would say, Yes, God has proven himself to us. And so he has proven himself to many people including myself.

Answer 10

I don't know where you got that point of view....you sure didn't get from God!....you can't be a christian without having "FAITH"...Because God is a "FAITH GOD".....(Heb. 11: 6)..You also might want to check out "Doubting Thomas"......God Proves Himself Over & Over....Get in place so you can experience it!....You also need to be under Anointed Spiritual Authority, Talk To A Pastor!

Answer 11

I think God "proves himself" everyday with the millions of good things that happen in our lives. Unfortunately, we always want more. If he gave us more, we would still ask for more.

That's why they call it "Faith." You don't have to ask for proof. Just believe and know.
