God is only a subjective reality for those that enjoy such things isn't it?

Question

I can accept that for some people God is a subjective reality but in the world of objective reality God cannot be found at all it seems, that makes God imaginary doesn't it...

Reply to seeker:
I'm just asking and trying to learn.

Answer 1

I would think that it does make God imaginary.

Answer 2

When did God get lost so that he/she/it needs to be found.

How do we know about God. Through his prophets. And where are the voices of the prophets recorded? The [Christian] bible: Holy Scriptures plus the New Testament.

So objective reality begin with belief, belief in the bible as the word of God. How do we know it is objective? Because God reveals himself through it. We know that God is spirit, that he existed before and created all the we can observe, etc. Does God have a gender? That characteristic is not in the bible. Can we believe God is male or female? Sure, but that will be a subjective belief since it is not in the bible, our objective reality.

By now it should be clear the objective reality is something we can all agree on. For example, "God is spirit" since that is directly found. Subjective is something that is individual, for example, God's gender is female.

God is not subjective reality: God existence as described in the bible is assumed, something we believe or not believe, faith.

Answer 3

"Religion & Spirituality" is the subject for which you placed your question. Therefore your question is subjective. Did you imagine that you placed this question? Or did you in fact, place this question. :)

Sorry, honey, you are a figment of God's imagination, not the other way around. God really exists in all realities.

If a mite on the back of a flea believes that there is no such thing as the Great Dane upon which it's host is feeding, that doesn't make it so. God is far greater than this little universe, even with all of it's galaxies. Just because God doesn't fit in your view of the universe, doesn't mean that he doesn't exist. Yet you are far more precious to Him than tons of the finest cut diamonds ever created.

Don't fall prey to the hype. Ask God to make Himself real to you. Don't throw words out that you don't mean. Really ask. No, you don't have to, God gave you free will. But, if you don't, you will be really missing out.

Answer 4

What is reality without a subject to behold it?

That is, you don't know anything about objective reality, since all reality that you behold, you behold through your mind. You have no evidence that reality exists at all. It exists, you think, because you sense it. You note patterns and determine qualities.... What is your proof that these things exist apart from your observing them?

I would argue that objective reality is unprovable, as all of the proof is given by subjects...and therefore "unreliable," according to your logic. Your thinking could very well just prove that reality is imaginary, since it requires a subject to say what it is and to make sense of it.

Chew on that for a few minutes before jumping to hasty conclusions about the nature of reality.

Answer 5

Enjoy? What a strange word to use to discribe a true believers experience. There are christians now today that face persecution and imprisonments all over the world to spread the Gospel of Jesus Christ. God can be found everywhere...our perceptions of reality has become one of ownership and control..the opposite terrifies us..knowing that nothing we really have belongs to us and that we have no control really over terribly much in the scheme of things so we are floundering out here..trying to depend on each other and our own resources when the believer has come to find that while he/she is powerless..there is One who has all of it. That is where the struggle ends inwardly but the outward struggle begins...so those who cannot find God..in any reality...are probably so staunchly steadfastly planted in their own arrogance and ego that they can't see beyond themselves and have created their own reality...becoming their own gods. That would make them imaginary wouldn't it? Love in Christ, ~J~

Answer 6

properly, possibly all of us do worry being on my own. And confident faith has been used interior the previous (and doubtless whilst we talk) as a potential of controlling human beings. yet i'm not lonely, and that i'm have many human beings around me. I actual do not think of that I worry being on my own, nor do I worry nothingness. once I say "nothingness" I recommend that theory that i ought to die and there would be not greater adventure of residing for me in any way, shape, or form. on a daily basis i'm wondering the question of how all of us have been given right here. How grow to be the Universe created? the place did it come from? Will it ever end? technological know-how promises all sorts of insights, even though it finally fails to offer the solutions that i'm finding for. i think in God.

Answer 7

God is the rewarder of those that diligently seek Him.

If you wish to experience the living God seek Him with your whole heart. Read the bible and ask Him to reveal the truth to you by the Holy Spirit.

Because you have not yet experienced the presence of God does not mean he does not exist - as many others who have experienced his presence will testify including myself.

Don't discount the things you cannot completely understand. Sometimes they are the most fantastic and fascinating. Seek the truth and you will find it.

Answer 8

Please read my words carefully:
If you see footmark in the sand, you'll say that someone passed from here...
If you see a piece of dog sh*t on the ground, you'll say that a dog passed from here...
So what about the enormous universe, the sky, stars, planets, earth and all the beauty in it, doesn't it lead to that someone made it?!!!

Some people say that everything is created by itself after the big-bang... I won't ask you about what caused the big-bang, but I'll ask you a simple question:
If you take all the letters of the alphabet, multiples of them, and you threw them randomly on the floor. Do you expect (by a chance of one in infinity) to get a poem like shakespear's??!!

Can't you see how organized our universe is, the planets, the eco-system on earth, look even in your own body... Can you control your heart-beat? Can you control your breath while you're sleeping? Who stopped your eye-lashes from growing after reaching a certain length? Who told the baby turtles to move towards the sea and not to the earth after they come out of their eggs? Who taught the bird how to make nests?

My friend, think with your heart and brain. If you're still lost, think about the following:

Do you know how to play safe?
Your point:
If there's no God and you do all what you want in life, then nothing will happen to you after life. But if there was God and you were mistaken, then you'll blame yourself FOREVER...

Believer's point:
If there's God and I followed His commands in life, then I'll be in Heaven after life FOREVER. But if there was no God and we're mistaken, then nothing bad will happen to us after life...

Now you know how to play-safe, in case you're not convinced?

Answer 9

So you're conclusion anything subjective is imaginary?

What about love?
What about anger/hatred?
What about vision?
