Could ya all tell why you think God is real? Give me a personal reason.?

Question

I believe in Him fully, but it seems there are so many skaptics on Yahoo questions and Answers, we ought to give them some good reasons! I could list prayer after prayer He has answered, miraculous things that has happened that could not have been a coincidence, but let's hear from you!!

Answer 1

the problem with the world is they are looking for physical evidence of a spiritual being...they have no understanding of the spiritual and its pointless to try to convince them. In fact, its not our job to convince them...we speak the message but its God that does the convincing to whom He chooses. The only way to know God is real is to be known of Him and to know Him. We could give testimony to the awesome power and works that God has shown to us as christians and it still wont convince the world...those things are better left to upbraid each other and to glorify God. Let the skeptics be skeptics and when their heart is ready God will reveal Himself to them...

Answer 2

When I study the Bible I realize that many things are on the mark example:

A. Four world empires to arise: Babylon, Medo-Persia, Greece, and Rome (Daniel chapters 2, 7, 8).
B. Cyrus to be the warrior to capture Babylon (Isaiah 45:1-3).
C. After Babylon's destruction, it would never be inhabited again (Isaiah 13:19, 20; Jeremiah 51:37).
D. Egypt would never again have a commanding position among the nations (Ezekiel 29:14, 15; 30:12, 13).
E. Earth-shaking calamities and fear toward the end of time (Luke 21:25, 26).
F. Moral degeneracy and decline of spirituality in the last days (2 Timothy 3:1-5).

And I realize with more and more study that what it says is true and therefore I believe in the word of God the BIble and therefore I believe in God. He also helps me daily.

Answer 3

Science doesn't answer the really tough questions. Where did the matter come from that started the big bang? When did time begin, how does time and gravity work, why are we here? God may seem like a lame answer to some, but he's the only answer I have. And think of the completely unlikely chances of everything in this huge universe coming together in just the right way at the right time and right spot to just happen to form life.Talk about insane odds. God exists.

Answer 4

i have also witnessed God's grace, beauty, love, and power. if there were no God and no miracles, i would have lost my baby girl 13 yrs. ago. i was only 23 wks along out of a 40 wk pregnancy. she was only 11 in. long and barely even weighed a pound. ( her weight dropped to 14 oz. at one point.) her skin was transparent, she only had little flaps of skin for ears, and her eyes were still fused shut. her head was the size of an egg, her mouth was the size of the tip of a q-tip, and her liitle legs were so skinny, i could slide my size 6 wedding band all the way up her thigh to her hip socket. the docs thought she wouldnt survive the birth, let alone the 24 hrs to follow. her prognosis was less than 5% for survival, and it was explained that even if she was part of that 5%, shed likely be either deaf, blind, have cerebral paulsy, never walk, require medication, and possibly breathing assistance the rest of her life, or any combinaton of the above. So many miracles took place throughout her recovery, it would take a novel to cover them all. today, she is a 100% healthy 13 yr old that doesnt even look like she was born so early. God also made miracles happen by allowing my body, w/ the help of docs and med. techniques, to carry 2 other babies to term, both of whom are also healthy. i am now preg. again, and again am in a very dangerous, high-risk situation for my life and the life of my baby........ maybe i shouldnt ask Him for so much, but im hoping He has just one more miracle up there for me and my family..... i'd bet my life on it.

Answer 5

Because every time I've made a mistake and wonder why I'm still here and feel like giving up and man I've had about everything to happen in my life he gives me a reason just in time to keep on living ,Im shy it's hard to be social and trust just anyone and yahoo I think is God given because you can speak freely and hopefully others can learn from this site on what life the good side is despite the the vulgarity others write on the site.

Answer 6

We live on a planet teeming with life. Plant life with approximately 250,000 species. Animal life with over a million species. Scientist are learning just how complex life is. So complex that it requires design. The evidence of design requires a designer. Scientists are also learning the conditions for life, just how perfect conditions here on planet Earth are to support all this life.

To think, people believe this all happened by chance. Yes the odds are 1 in 1(with a billion trillion zeros behind it). Yes it is a belief by many that this all just happened by chance. That belief takes a greater faith than believing in a Creator. A virtual impossibility is an impossibility.

Answer 7

This may be the most off the wall reason you get but here it goes. When me and my husband were first dating he got me a diamond necklace for x-mas. We had went out to dinner in the dead of winter and I was wearing it. When we got home it was not on my neck. I called the resaraunt and they did not find it. I know I left the house with it on because i checked it in the car. And I did not have it when we got home. I cried that eve and prayed that somehow I would find it. My room is locked so there was no way someone was it in. But when I went to bed...there it was right on my pillow. Simple ways he shows me he hears my prayers!!!!!

Answer 8

God is real. He is in everything. Look at how beautiful it is when a baby smiles. or when someone falls in love. I know there is a hell so there must be a heaven and God must be there. Matthew 17:20, Matthew 21:21, Romans 1:8. Faith is the substance of things unseen. Just because you can't see it, doesn't mean it's not there. Can you see love physically? No, but you can feel it. Can you see pain? No but you can feel it. Can you see your brain? No, but that doesn't mean it is not there.

Answer 9

Here's an answer I gave recently; I'm getting tired of saying the same things over and over again... The question was, Why is there no empirical proof of God's existence:

One answer is that there is no "empirical proof" for most things which matter a great deal to you. Read the Scottish philosopher David Hume, and you'll discover that ultimately there is no "proof" even for such things as effective causality. Unfortunately, we have to assume the reality of these things in our daily life -- most ironically, we assume their truth even in the act of denying them. For me, that means that even without a strict, mathematical demonstration, we can be sure of various realities which escape our attempts at "proof."

On a more existential level, is there any "proof" that my eight-year-old son loves me? There are various phenomena which suggest it, but ultimately all of those can be interpreted in other ways. Can I "prove" it? No. Can I be sure of it? Yes.

Likewise, there are various phenomena available to human experience which lead towards the idea of God. For me, the primary ones are the existence of the universe (why is there anything rather than nothing at all?), the existence of human persons (whom I experience as irreducible, mysterious centers of freedom and love), the reality of my own conscience (which I experience as accusing or condemning me totally independently of any other human opinion), and the reality of my longing for the triumph of truth, mercy, and beauty in a world marked so deeply by falsehood, cruelty, and ugliness. Why, if there is no God, is human consciousness characterized by this hunger for the absolute? Why would we not simply be content, finite animals? Atheism, to me, neither takes this elemental human experience seriously, nor offers any account of it.

Please note also that when I say "God" I do not mean the God of traditional theistic belief, which is marred by all sorts of implausibilities and absurdities. One can believe in God without accepting all the ideas people have had about God throughout history.

As far as Jesus goes, no serious scholar doubts that there was a charismatic first-century rabbi named Yeshua who was executed by the Romans. Beyond that, there's wide scope for informed opinion about him. You should familiarize yourself with the best scholarly literature. Try John P. Meier's "A Marginal Jew: Rethinking the Historical Jesus."

Answer 10

I have had a personal battle with this subject for quite some-time. I couldn't believe it because I didn't SEE it. Just because there is this book from years ago with all this writing in it doesn't mean it's true ya know. But now I have grown to believe. I most definitely believe in a higher spiritual being. I know there is a spirirual world because we all are just mass. If you break us all down to the smallest molecule it's still mass so we all have a spirit in our bodies and yeah I believe they go up to heaven or dowm to hell.
