Why do you believe in God?

Question

First there are rules to this question.
1. You cannot say faith..(That is like me asking you why you like sugar, and you just saying, because i do...)

2. You cannot used to bible. (Because it is not a universal truth)


I would rather hear personal experiences or feelings you have..
And if you don't believe in God. Do the same.

Answer 1

As a kid growing up I expieranced lots of things
that I personally just didn't understand, and
wittnessed actions that just seemed totally Impossible.
My Mother always told me that God was with
them.
After hearing that, and wittnessing particular accurances.
I Began to believe in him also.
There are things that are tought, that can easily be forgotten,
Yet Still,
There are things witnessed that could never be explained.

Answer 2

i, and maybe most folks saved, started with a personal experence with the Holy Living God, The Lord Jesus Christ saved me from a certain death in a way that i knew it could have been no one else.. He stopped all my enemies from killing me at a time when i had many of them, and gave me an oppurtunity to tell them the reason I came out on top was The Blood Of The Lamb. After 30 years of walking with God i know he lives,and i know the bible is not a universal truth: it is the universal truth.. I know Jesus Is the way, the truth, and the life.. any other 'relgeon' is of the devil and is vain and mpty...

Answer 3

In some places it is commonly taught that everything we see just happened by itself, that it came about by chance or accident. Over many millions of years, it is said, life evolved, or developed, from lower forms until finally humans came into existance. In many parts of the earth this theory of evolution is taught as a fact. But is it true that we came from an apelike beast that lived millions of years ago? Did this great universe just come about by accident?
The Bible says:"In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth."(Genesis1:1) And the facts of science agree that the heavens, with their billions of stars, and our earth had a beginning. they were created. The movements of the stars and the planets are so regular that even years in advance their position can be determined with perfect acuracy. The stars and planets move in the universe acording to the laws and principles of mathematics. A professor of mathematics from the university of Cambridge, P. Dirac, said,in the magazine Scientific American:"One could perhaps describe the situation by saying that God is a mathematician of a very high order, and He used very advancedmathematics in constructing the universe."
The Bible states: "Know that Jehovah is God. It is he that has made us, and not we ourselves."(Psalm100:3) Our human body shows such wonderful design that one Bible writer was moved to sayto God: "I shall laud you because in a fearinspiring way I am wonderfully made....My bones were nothidden from you when I was made in secret.... Your eyes saw even the the embryo of meme,and in your book all its parts were down in writing."(Psalm139:14-16) A baby develops inside its mother in a wonderful way, Newsweek magazine said of this: "It is quitesimply, a miracle." Then it added: "No techniquet can pinpoint the momentous ime of conception. No scientist can tell what wonderous forces then take over to develop the organs and myriad nerve networks of a human embryo."
Think about our great universe, as well as our own body with its wonderful construction and design. Sound reasoning should tell us these things did not simply evolve or come by themselves. They had to have a Designer, a Creator. Consider other things that we see around us. When you are in your house, ask yourself:Did my desk,lamp,bed, chair,table,walls,or even the houseitself, evolve? Or did they need a maker? Of course intelligent persons had to make them! In what way, then, can it be claimed that our much more complex universeand we ourselvesdid not require a maker? And if God put us here,he surely had a reason for doing so.

Answer 4

Personal experince, I dont believe in one universal God, I believe in many different aspects of philosophies on God. There is simply to much information out there to dispute the one God theory. The singular God came from many different religions or thoughts.
Most of them if not all of them came from human beings. I believe you can find truth in all aspects.

Maybe there are more than one, maybe their is none. I am more of a believer in cause and effect.

Answer 5

because the alternative of there being no God is so horrific ... this is it? God, I hope not.... I believe because I see the intricate order of everything... the earth is at the correct angle and at the exact rotation it needs to be and the ocean has just enough salt and just enough oxygen to support life, and the fact that i am here and a absolute statistical impossibility pretty much clinches it for me

Answer 6

Hmmmmm... I was raised as a Catholic, and I never really felt the need to "rebel" against my faith. Growing up WITH it, I grew INTO it... so, basically, it's because I was raised that way. Scientific theories confuse me... Church bores me... call it blind faith, call it ignorance. It's just easier to believe in God. I want to believe in him, and I see no reason why I shouldn't. God gives me comfort and hope. When you pray, and you believe in who you're praying to, that they can actually hear you, that they're listening to you when no one else will... that feeling is just... amazing... I don't know if there's an equivelent to that for Atheists, but if there is, I would want to know what it is.

Answer 7

i believe in God because i guess i was surrounded by Christians. Christianity is pretty much the only religion i really know of. to me, Christianity says more true things than any other religions

Answer 8

The belief in God keeps me from going insane. In my lifetime I have faced so much pain and grief, and everytime I could not handle it, I read from the Bhagavad Gita, and somehow, somewhere I found the strength to bear the pain and move on with life and all it's frailties. YES, there is a GOD. HE PROTECTS, GUIDES, STRENGTHENS, and SUPPORTS US IN ALL OUR DECISIONS.

Answer 9

I believe in God because he has watched over me and gave me the greatest gift ever, my daughter. She was the BEST surprise ever. I was told years ago I couldn't get pregnant, and when love found me with the greatest man ever, poof, I suddenly got pregnant.
