Do you trust God Iike me?

Answer 2

Believing exactly like you do is an unlikely possibility.. All people that believe in a power greater then themselves have varying degrees of faith, where raised with different values, may or may not be of the same type of religious training. All people are different as is their relationship with their Higher power.

In all likelihood by the way the question is worded, that your immature faith is the correct and only way to have a God concept, you also likely assume you are right and no one else is.

So in effect, I will not likely ever believe as you do, due in most part to maturation in faith in a power outside of myself that I've had for a long time.

Answer 3

Do you trust something that's not benevolent or omnipotent? Consider this: Does god do things because he's benevolent? If yes, then what he wills is because he's right. but...

If he's benevolent, how could he allow 6 million of his chosen people to be incinerated by Hitler, or why did he allow Truman to vaporize 200,000 Japanese men, women and children or Stalin to kill 30m Christians? If he was also omnipotent AND benevolent, then these events could not have happened.

If you counter that man's "free will" caused those events to happen, so don't blame God, then can it be said God is not omnipotent AND benevolent, because he allowed man's free will to reign?

And further, the mere existence of evil in the world makes the existence of a benign god impossible: if god were omnipotent, he could eliminate evil and if he were benign, he would want to do so...another way of saying this:

If god is able to prevent evil but is not willing to prevent evil, then he is not benevolent.

If god is willing to prevent evil but is not able to prevent evil, then he is not omnipotent.

Evil is either in occordance with god's intention or contrary to it. Thus, either god cannot prevent evil or he does not want to prevent evil.

Answer 4

Nope, can't trust something I can't see or talk to (and subsequently get a response from). However, I do believe in Mother Nature, that I can see everyday. Just being honest.

Answer 5

I do trust God, but I don't know if it's the same as you do, because there are different degrees of trust.

Answer 6

I doubt it. Putting faith in make believe doesn't do anyone any good. Work at understanding the world as it actually exists. From this your conclusions will be increasingly realistic and more beneficial to yourself and others.

Answer 7

I don't know what your belief in God is like so I can't say for sure.

Answer 8

yes i do
