God -does it exist?

Question

I believe-That said there is a part of me that says all religeon is one big rationalization with no proof or substance. The bible was written by men not god. Is it wholey inspired ?somewhat inspired? fabrication? The bible did not float on a cloud down from heaven. What makes Christianty any more correct then every other faith? Only fools, I believe, think that everyone else is condemned to hell. What if it's all folklore and when we die there is isn't anything-you just don't exist anymore? ok fire away but please don't quote scripture I've read it all.Tell me in human terms-your experiences or thinking.

Answer 1

If enough people believe in something then it exists. The Bible was divinely inspired but written by man. And only God knows how much liberty they took with it. "Wait I don't like that so delete and I hate it when my neighbor does that so I'll just add that in." Religion is man made, its just routine. I was a die hard christian but encountered so much hypocrisy within the church it left a bad taste in my mouth. Then I married a christian man. He started drinking, became abusive, then left me for his pregnant girlfriend. Just one of his many affairs. I'm a good person and treat others better than I'd treat myself. Just hold true to the basic principles, not religious dogma or propaganda. Like Bill and Ted said, "Be excellent to each other." We could just cease to exist when we die, I don't really know. I don't need the threat of damnation to keep me in line. So I'll do the best I can while I'm here and pass on as many of my good traits as possible before I become dust. I don't need heaven to encourage me to do good. I chose my path and find light within myself to keep going and help as many as possible along the way.

Answer 2

Yes He does exist. Christians live solely off of Faith. That's the way God works. You have to believe and that's all you have to do to be saved and go to Heaven. Of course you have to do right too. God told people what to write when the Bible was written. He also sent Jesus through a virgin (Mary) so that people would know Jesus was from God (hello...how could a virgin have a child?!) He is God's only son. You just have to believe that Jesus died for your sins and you will be saved and when Jesus comes back (if He comes back during our time) then you will go to Heaven forever and have eternal life. I could go more in depth but it would take too much time. When I started believing, good things started to happen and you can actually feel Gods presence too.

Answer 3

I know that God exists
Ive experienced Him for one (that must sound weird if you havent)

And I dont think that im better than anyone else or that everyone else is going to hell. God sent His only Son to die for us so that we could be saved. Just believe in Him and you are saved. God wants us to be saved. People may not believe in Him but He believes in you

The Bible was written since the beginning of time by 100's of different people from all nations and lang. and different time periods yet it is without error, which just proves that it is God-breathed- Plus historians have been able to learn things from it and have seen prophesies come true

You are obviously somewhat curious about this; doesnt that tell you something? I believe that deep down everyone knows God exists; They just dont want to believe it; You have to be willing to see Him. Keep your eyes open. God bless

Answer 4

According to Pascal's Wager, your "what-if's" are your uncertainty.

According to him, you had two choices with two consequences. The first choice is...There is no god.

Believing this, you gain no rewards, and no bad .

The second choice is...There is a god.

Believing this, you gain the reward of this god, but not believing this, you'de be at the mercy of this god, and thus, you'de have a bad consequence.

He tried to make it analogomous to gambling.

Every different contradictory worldview can't be a correct view. So, just because someone believes they are absolutely correct in their beliefs over others doesn't make them a fool. Most people are fools because most people are wrong or negligant.

Answer 5

well u said this,

What if it's all folklore and when we die there is isn't anything-you just don't exist anymore?

Well according to christianity and wat we beleive if u dont beleive in god/jesus and accept him as ure savior then u would go to hell as suffer for all eternity, and so lets just say,

what if it was all true then we might as well go and believe in him and not risk the consequences right? However one shouldnt go into a religon out of fear but im just saying.

Answer 6

God is the end result of a failed search for truth by a very shallow mind, provided that any search was made at all and you just swallowed the delusional pile of bilge that was spoon-fed to you as a child

Answer 7

Answer 8

You have not read the Bible. Try to study it first-then refute it, if you can. To reject it before you have a clue as to what it is about is stupidity. Find a group of Bible students somewhere and ask to join them in study-I bet you will change your mind.

Answer 9

Answer 10

With the worldy experience I can tell you that a divine being exists and He controlls everything. I cannot prove it it you which religion is right but I think that Jesus' teachings explains a Divine which fits my experience and knowledge.
