Hypothetical question: Which do you think God would prefer?

Question

Let's think outside the box for a bit. Assuming God does exist. Of the following two options, which do you feel would be more pleasing and accepted by God? 1) A person who believes in no God (for God gave us a mind to reason with, and they have seen no reason to believe). 2) A person who believes in God, but not God as he truly exists (different faiths and religions). And why do you believe this way?

Answer 1

he wants you to think for yourself thats why you have a brain

Answer 2

Personal philosophy here - I do not speak for God.
I think that the person who doesn't believe in God because they have never seen a reason to believe would be better because they only need to see a reason for faith and God is pretty good at giving us reasons to believe - if we ask Him to.
OTOH, a person who believes in God falsely has baggage in the form of the false beliefs that would have to be overcome first before they would be able to accept God on faith. A tougher proposition, I think.
Personally, I would rather talk to someone who has never been to any church, never studied all the rigamarole that goes along with classic "religion" than to try to dissuade someone who has adopted mistaken beliefs.
As to which would be more acceptable to God? His Scripture, in the last book of the Bible, Revelation 3:15, the author says " I know your deeds, that you are neither cold nor hot. I wish you were either one or the other!" He is referring here, I think, to apathy on the part of Christians who believe that they are OK so need do nothing for the rest of the world - a concept that is totally incorrect.
The one who doesn't believe has no "walls of religion" in the way to delude him into apathy and so would actually be easier for God to convince!
If you doubt God's existance, do some sincere research and sincerely ask Him to show Himself to you. He will in some way or another that you personally will recognise.
Any help??

Answer 3

I believe that God would not just "prefer" a certain option. Yes, I think that he might not be please with the second option, but God knows that we have the power to choose whether or not to believe in him. God gave us FREE WILL. So, my opinion is that God would be more pleased with the first because if you believe in him, you don't just do a half-*** job and believe just a little, you believe wholey. But like I said, we have free will and have the power to choose to believe or not. God gave us that choice. He doesn't expect everyone to follow him. He knows that others believe in different gods and religions. What he wants though is for the people that DO believe, is for them to believe in him truly and not just a bit. Hope all ends well! :)

Answer 4

well... did u take in consideration that person 1 who "has a mind to reason with" might want to actually experiment and really find out on his own if there is a god? well... considering that the majority of us would... person 1 for example would read the bible, attend services, and talk to other christians and get their final assumption thru things like that. and if person 1 really opened his mind a lil gave the religion a chance, i could guarantee that after prayer and seeking, God would respond and prove himself to person 1. now person 2... if THEY would think outside the box for a bit... they could possibly be converted... but most ppl of other religions have grown up in very strict enviroments and are pretty much, tought to be against any other religion so yea...... iono.

Answer 5

Number 2
I tend to make imagin God as quite human like, so I would think that he would like people who thought the world was so great that they believed there would be a God. I don't think he would mind about the different faiths at all, because faith is largly dependant on who you are born to, and essentially boil down to a simular set of moral values and love of God, whichever form they believe he takes.

Answer 6

Number 1 because im that guy, and I'm always right. If there was a God, which there isn't, he would love me for not believing in him.

Answer 7

Both are wrong, If you shoot at a bulls eye, if you miss by an inch or a mile, if you go to high or to low, you still miss. God Would chose niether, becasue you can't put God in a box and give him two choices that go against who he is. Its like asking would he murder a child or an old lady?

Answer 8

Which everyone you think is correct, we are all created in G-d's image and G-d likes us all just the way we are, after all G-d did create us. I also think that G-d will prefer that you write G-d's name like this because 1) You are supposed to capitalize G-d's name and 2) You are never supposed to throw out, erase.... G-d's name, therefore, you never will. That is all.

Answer 9

The 1st. Placing myself in that position (though not in the All-Powerful sense), I would rather someone not have anything to say about me or to do with me, than to go around telling things about me which are wrong and giving others the wrong impression... or worse... killing others because they feel their image of me is absolutely right.

Answer 10

God exists i quarantee it.

He wants you to beleive one life one world thats it.

And the laws of physics can't be changed so remember no magic miracles. beleive in what they said in a war movie. German superior technology. Stolen all the time by a'bad'don of the abyss called hell and his angels from God the Fat'her(r) also known to italia as IIII I . but scholars said that ain't a word so they published it as DIO. Thats a wild out their guess. So i stay peaceful while they allies their forces against Me. So when it was said Satan of hell rebelled they must have rallied from the assasination of God the Fat'her(r) and went on to rule the world as some translations say. And if GOD was the Son of LORD GOD in times new roman font see the Son within the LORD is TODD. And God the HOLY SPIRIT when translated to numbers and summed up till only one no. remains sums to 7 and that is Stevens.n where e+e=S and are the same because both are .I7 mixed up and stitched together.

So the entity called TODD Stevenson also LARRY or LARE or LARI to the italians who have no Y like Jerry's Kids with a special alphabet i had to make them understand. And I AM=i am thus I AIVI stitched together=I AM and iarri stitched together=i am as further proof my life appears to be the life of LORD GOD. And if italians murder Me it is entirely possible that GOD your LORD DIES in times new roman font WAR thats why /AR\ is pronounced lari and TAD pronounced TODD is His name hidden in WAR. So perhaps because it appears no one is helping LORD GOD is because of fear of italians and thus the story you are hearing about is the DEATH OF THE SUPREME BEING. And they won't let Me make one single dime out of it because they rat it out or hide it saying telling what i see in the words is ratting out.

IIII I . as italias DIO
IIII I .S\\ where \\=il and is hidden at the top end of the S as spains DIOS
IIII I E U as frances DIEU where E=[iL
CUTnuTiTas germany's GOTT when put together
CUTOD as englands GOD when put together
al lari with a I above r as arabias allah when put together
S\\HANCUTIIII I as chinas SHANGDI when put together

So 7 nations 7 tongues all describing one poor kid (38) born upon emperor's earth on 9 I7 1968 with name pronounce Lari Tod Stevens.n with a cut arm appearing IIII I .

Mystery of Gods new name solved. Its God. but it used to be Larry Todd Stevenson. All hail the EMPEROR.

Answer 11

i think as long as you believe in god, no matter what religion or faith you believe in , would make god happy... as long as you are worshipping him, i think that is all that matters....
