Do you belive in God?

Question

For me, I belive that we are the ones who hold our destinies, but God is the one who see's the future a few seconds,hours and days faster than we will experiance. Personally, I do belivive that God watches us and if we sin its never too late to ask for forgiveness. When my mind is in trouble , worried, or afraid, I pray........I notice the "Youth" today don't go to church, pray or even talk about good things about the "Lord". Do you think in the Future that many will forget about God and just trying to live life as they please?

To all people who are not under Christianity, I respect your beilives and hoping whats your point of view too.

Answer 1

I don't dismiss the idea entirely but can't believe that any god remotely resembling the one represented by the Big Three religions would make the rather stupid error of trusting people to tell people about about His Will and expect them not to screw it up really badly.

My God is better than that and I don't make any presumptions about what He thinks of me or even IF He thinks of me.

Tell you what, though, if he does exist and wants me worship him the way Christians, Jews and Muslims insist that he does, He can lick my brown eye. My God is also better than that.

Answer 2

Yes, I do.
"For me, I belive that we are the ones who hold our destinies, but God is the one who see's the future a few seconds,hours and days faster than we will experiance" - This is because humans have FREE WILL, as we were made by GOD - to test us as we live.
"Personally, I do belivive that God watches us and if we sin its never too late to ask for forgiveness." - This is what is taught (Roman Catholic) - even up to the last second, if you are truely repentant we are taught GOD will forgive our sins, and we are forgiven, (then off to heaven, after a period of cleaning.)
"When my mind is in trouble , worried, or afraid, I pray...."
This is wonderful to hear, communication, with parent, family, and GOD is a great sourse of comfort.
"I notice the "Youth" today don't go to church, pray or even talk about good things about the "Lord". " Well this hopefully is just a regional observation, as I believe the youth of today is very involved with their community. It will be theirs - in 2-4 years after all. We old people can use the rest. Please take over!
"Do you think in the Future that many will forget about God and just trying to live life as they please?" Yes. Humans did this while Jesus was here, why would they stop in the future? Humans free will - makes a unnanimous agreement to follow ONE path - impossible.
But there is always hope. Of course.
"To all people who are not under Christianity, I respect your beilives and hoping whats your point of view too"
Please be prepared to be insulted and made the butt of jokes, Respectful people are hard to find is they can remain faceless, nameless, due to human nature.
Keep asking these and more great questions. Don't be afraid of traveling, and reading different things. You have a support network (family, community) to explain/answer questions.
I wish you much happiness in your questing.

Answer 3

You are right about us choosing our "destinies" God does know what's ahead for us. But he gave us free will to decide. I think that there is a lack of youth in the church today and but I also believe in the power of the Lord. No matter what happens He will always be among us and will always be known.

Answer 4

Maybe you are in the wrong area of the country. But there is a HUGE reprisal of youth joining the chruch

You said:
Do you think in the Future that many will forget about God and just trying to live life as they please?

Yes it is written in the bible of such a time.. it is one of the things that will harold that the last days are near

Answer 5

With all my heart. I'm not sure to be honest. I'm one of those "youths" and I make sure to try and go to church every week and I pray every night thanking him for what he has done for me. I know my friends around me even ones who proclaim they are "christian" and go to church every week tell me that they only pray when they want something or even though they go to church every week they don't pray or even find time to thank God for all that he has done. Sometimes it makes me question there beliefs or even wonder if they understand it. I think in this day and age young Christians are becoming too relaxed with the religion, and their parents are doing nothing to help (a.k.a. supporting prayer, opening thanking the Lord, etc..) I hope that some day when I get older I can raise my children to be confindent in themselves and prayer, and not to mention worshipping the Lord.

Answer 6

I do believe in GOD. I recently was given a book entitled the 40 days of purpose. Chapter 2 of the book really hit home. Faith is believing in something unseen. Teens do rebel, it's just part of growing. I have a lot of friends who have a strong connection with God. People tend to forget that free will works both ways.

Answer 7

First we need to determine which God we are talking about here. Are you referring to the real God, the unconditionally loving God who we are all a part of? This is the one Jesus was talking about when he said the kingdom of God is within you. The one who is our dearest friend and closest companion.

Or are we talking about the angry little judgmental God that lives on some far off cloud called heaven. The one who seems to be more concerned with our errors than he is with our successes? You know the egocentric needy little God that always wants people to worship him. The one who is always unavailable because he is only a fantasy? You need to be more specific if you want a real answer.

Answer 8

Yes I believe in God. 'For the past seven years I have been alone and God has been there right beside me. He talks to me, comforts me and provides for all my needs. He is not only MY GOD He is my Friend, my husband, and the Lord of my life. The time is getting short and He is coming back to take us home to be with Him. For all of you out there that do not believe...well I pray you find the truth before it is too late. GOD made you and He loves you. But it is your choice to accept Jesus as you Savior or not.

Answer 9

I personally do not believe in God. I have tried very hard and have been envious of the close relationship that people gain from believing in God, but despite being open to it, it just does not make sense to me. I've found strength from within to deal with whatever comes my way, and I value and cherish every moment on this Earth, and believe it is everyone's duty to contribute positively to society and the collective that is the human race.

I honestly think that religion can actually do a lot of harm, as well as doing good. I think that it divides people a lot, and I know that a lot of people say without they would not stay out of trouble, or they wouldn't do good deeds, but I'm not sure. I believe that a level of altruism is inherrent in human beings. I believe that I am a case of this, as I am dedicating my life to helping the sick. There is not divine power leading me this way. I don't do it to go to heaven, and I've done many things that would qualify me to go to hell according to many religious texts, but I don't believe it makes me a bad person. Quite frankly I think many non-religious people are better and more productive people than religious people sometimes, and of course the opposite is true as well.

If it works for you and you can make sense of it then that is wonderful, but just don't let it get in your way of doing good and being a good person to everyone. Passing judgment and the harsh words to telling someone they are going to hell are just hurtful and mean, and I've had many religious people say this to me, and I don't know where in their religion it tells them to be aggressive and nasty to strangers, but somehow they find a way.

It doesn't urge me to join a religion... even though I'll never believe in God.
