David - I know God is real and He can be as real for you. Read the Bible starting at the book of John and read about Jesus - He is alive now and He can give you that hope you are looking for. Trust in Jesus, David. This is a fact - you will spent eternity either in a place called Hell or Heaven - it is your choice. Choose Jesus and have enternal life. Blessings my friend.

I know he is real because his spirit lives within my heart. He changed me into a new person. All the old things I use to do suddenly seemed unimportant to me such as staying drunk, smoking pot etc.. Those things he took the urge away and now the holy spirit leads me, those things I couldn't stop before I got saved. His word is very real to me and speaks to me in a way only that a saved person can understand. Yes I do believe in a hell and a heaven. I can't make any thing real to you unless you are seeking something to fill the dark void that you have. You must be open to hear the gospel and be willing to hear it out. No there is not any evidence that I can show you that God is real, you must have a awareness in your life that there must be something more to life than just living, then dying. If that is the case, then what is the point to this life?

God, Budda, Jesus,Love,Spirit,Creator,Energy,Ahla, many many more names then just those probably hundreds perhaps more then that.
Is he a he or is he a she, lets for your question use the name God is God a man in what? A white robe with white hair and beard perhaps is he white?
That was when I was Religous, which is what I call the forced learning of a structured, judgemental, discrimantory belief system backed by profit.
As I grew and matured I examined and got involved in many "different types" of religion, ie catholic, jehovahs witness, church of christ, baptist, southern babtist, congregational, a few non denominationals, and others.
I could not believe how they all thought the others were all damed to hell because they were not "their religion" some were so strong in their denouncing of other churches/religions they actually seemed hateful and evil unforgiving and judging of all others just what God says not to be.
Do you believe we humans have a concsience, you know when you want to do something and you know you shouldnt and you get that twinge or thought that tells you ..........ah! oh! I better not !
Well that's your concience right?
Do you believe that you have a spirit?
Have you ever lost anyone you really loved and was really close to had someone like that die? Did you see their body after they died? Where they in there,did it really look like them anymore?
No it didnt, it didnt because their spirit was not their anymore.
Just like you have a spirit and its in you right now, thats why your moving and living not because your heart is going or your lungs are working but because your spirit is still in need of your body.
And you know that concience we were talking about a bit ago, well that is not a concience ..........that is mans easy way out , mans unaccountablity, his hold harmless so to speak.........
.that is the spirit of God that is in every single one of us God is a part of all of our spirits he/she/it has made us in their image of love,kindness,truth,honesty,joy, all of goodness and therefore that is why when we are about to do "bad or wrong" or "concience" Godspirit kicks in to tell us not too.
But our human bull headed will can over ride the Godspirit because God wants us to want to love and want to want his/her ways on our own not because he/she is making us.
I could say a lot more but look at birth and look at re-birth (otherwise known as death) look at all the people who have near death experiences, and give your life time and as you grow you will see more.
Stay open and dont forget you are here for a reason and people will come into your life for a reason, a season and a lifetime, and they are all supposed to be there.
Heaven and Hell? I dont believe in hell for sure if "God" is the creator the one and only the why would he have to make up his own bad guy his own hell his own enemy? Thats one hell of a bad joke dont you think?

God is real, because He teaches me through His Divine Messengers the concept of reality. Moreover He sets the criteria for me to distinguish true from false, good from bad, right from wrong. No man can teach me these subtle matters.
Nobody can make other people to become knowledgeable; a human being must have the desire to seek the truth for himself. Otherwise, he is a being of no responsibility about his own destiny.
How can I make an ape to tell that I am real? It is not a rational being.
Hell and heaven are not two separate places, but they are only a state of the mind. Heaven is nearness to God and hell is separation from Him. The One True God is omnipresent, so nearness and remoteness from Him is a spiritually eternal state.
Suicide is divinely forbidden.
With people who believe in the Messengers of God, I can quote Their holy verses to strengthen my argument. But I don't quote because they also know where to look for those verses.

I cannot make God "real" to you. But God can show Himself real to you. His word says "seek and you will find". God never says anything idly. He does not make promises that He will not keep.
The first I remember feeling God's presence was when I was out in nature. That silence, and beauty, is where I first experienced His power and grace. All through my life God has been with me, in so many ways. In the last decade, I have gotten into a very good bible teaching church, and my faith has been growing stronger, the more I study, read and learn His word. And through prayer of course. And yes....both heaven and hell are real.
I ask the Lord, since you truly seek Him, that you will find Him, and I ask that in Jesus name.

I absolutely believe that they are real. It is something that speaks in the depths of my soul and resonates with me through everything. The only way to make them real to you, is if you open your mind and your soul, and try to find and experience them for yourself. It is a very personal experience, and a long road to travel. But doing the research and listening to your soul can do a lot for you. I do believe there is an Other Side, where we all reside, regardless of our beliefs here. However there is no hell, those who don't deserve the eternity of peace on the Other Side, get recycled back into life here on Earth. This is the true hell.

God is very real, so is Satan. I have been so blessed, and so protected by God that there are no doubs in my mind that he is with me all the time. All you have to do is look around you and you can see all his miraculous creations-there are countless billions of them. Nothing just comes out of nothing except God. Heaven does exist and a limited number of humans will rule with the Christ from there, the rest of us will be resurrected into an earthly kindom ruled by Jusus and his faithful !44'000 joint heirs of the kingdom. Read the chapter of revelation. If you need help in the holy scripture and you are really interested in making God real to you contact one of Jehovahs witnesses-they are the most knowledgeable and foremost teachers of the truth......KECK

He only reveals Himself to those who seek Him with their whole heart. When I accepted Him in my heart, He let me know He is the only way. No one can make Him real to you. You have to want a relationship with Him to know Him. Yes, Heaven and hell are real and I personally do not serve God out of fear as some would believe. If you're contemplating suicide, please call 911 right now. And know thar someone cares for you.

it makes me cry to hear this. you need to go to a local church and talk to a preacher or pastor. i will tell you that God has blessed me beyond number with things, friends and family, characteristics and other things that are indescribable. i also believe His Bible is true because 1, evidence of His creation is everywhere! no one can say an amoeba grew into every little detail of this earth. 2, there are many prophecies that have come true and are still coming true today. one still not fulfilled is Christ's second coming. hopefully you won't wait to be baptized before you see this happen. i don't know what else to tell you to make you believe He is real. all i can tell you is to HAVE FAITH, LIVE LIFE RIGHT (according to the Bible), PRAY, and talk to a pastor locally for some more reasoning behind this. this is the basis of your faith, and everything you believe. God bless you in your search!

Yes I believe in a God.....though not really one with a personality.
I chose to explore the possibility after I attempted suicide (there is a lot more to the story).
No I can't make God real to you. What I see as evidence of my belief you can see as evidence of your belief.
There is no such thing as heaven and hell except as states of mind.
