Maybe god doesn't exist? How do you know he does?

Question

I would like you to e-mail me if you are confident in your beliefs and you'd like to argue in favor of god's existence. Go ahead and answer too.

I would appreciate it if you would e-mail directly from your e-mail account so I don't have to deal with the Y!As format.

My e-mail is [e-mail]

readytogo: If you are christian, isn't it your job to tell others the gospel of christ.

Katie: Yes, it is that simple. You can choose to believe on faith, no need to argue. I have no problem with that.

!!!SevenLights!! : I completely agree, I wish we could all admit that we cannot know.

ginny3282: I have no problem with faith as an answer.

gratvol: Yes, no one can know.

tacker: these wonders do not nessecitate a god. I doubt you decided there is a god just by looking around you.

deep: Where did you see god? If you are simply referring to his "miracles", then you haven't, you are attributing these things to a god that may not exist.

kelley: maybe you are relating things that are not related. Maybe you are feeling the euphoria brought on by such thoughts.

chris: That is fine.

Billcompugeek: I could make up a story about a terrible child molestor and people would hate my made up character.

edjohnston7: math is just a model of the world, we created math, it is just as faulty as our logic. Why would there have be a time when nothing existed? Couldn't the universe be eternal?

hijau: that's fine.

jettb: you will be taken up on that offer.

Olivia A: I am trying very hard to think objectively, though it's not really possible. I try to question everything that is around me and in me. I just don't see a god in all of it.

luvurlord: Faith is fine and I don't know that god doesn't exist. It just does not seem probable to me.

rhea: There may not have been a creator. Maybe things aren't so simple.

Darryl L: I'm sorry, I think I have offended you.

suzymn3: Answers are what I want. If they don't want to argue that is fine.

Enfin: I was not surprised. I don't know that he does not exist. I just don't believe that he does.

Answer 1

I don't need to e-mail you in order to have faith. My Bible tells me that God exists and that's good enough. The fact that you don't believe means nothing to me. THE FOOL hath said in his heart, there is no God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works. The Lord looked down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there were any that did understand, and seek God. They are all gone aside, they are all together become filthy; there is none that doeth good, no not one. From the 14th Psalm of David. You see, people like you existed even back then, before Christ. His coming changed much, but it evidently didn't change people like you. But you still serve the will of God, sir. Your disbelief encourages Christians to remain on the strait path. For the path that you are taking is a wide path, and leads to damnation. And many there be that go therein. I'll not argue with you. You wish to argue outside the rules of Yahoo! Answers, just as you want to live outside God's rules for a Christian life. No thanks. Play by the rules, or find another game. Good day to you, and may God have mercy on you.

Answer 2

I don't want to argue, I can't make you believe something you don't already believe and don't want to change.

I can only tell you that in my own life, there have been too many things that, for me, point to God. Prayers answered, strength in times of anguish. The way I soak in the Bible. The way my faith gets stronger when I come here to YA and defend my faith. It's been a very interesting thing really--the more a person defames my faith and my God, the stronger my faith becomes.

But can I prove God's existence to you, no I can't, but I believe with my whole heart that he does.

Answer 3

how can you live a life believing only the things human minds tell us. who do u think made those human minds and gave them the abliity to think? God did. How can u go through life not believing in anything except what science tells you. You KNow what they say science only goes so far and then comes god. ITS also a little thing called faith and beliveing and knowing Jesus Christ died on the cross for yours and mine sins. Pray is also a key factor and always reading the bible will always answer any unanswered ?'s Plz take this into consideration

Answer 5

In proving God's existency, the best evidence you can give are, "I can feel God in my heart","I believe", "I have faith", and somebody claim he has "seen God" with no further explaination.

Tell you what, There are 1000 times more stories about Ghost's existency than God and today, there are still much doubt that Ghost existed!

A Christian who suffered from cancer prays God for a cure. After he died (which is 99.99% of time), a funeral held for him with a bishop giving a short speech about him join God, go to heaven, or whatever it called.
In a very rare case, he alive and his cancer gone, (0.01% of the time), we say he was cured by God.

Was it better to go with God and stay in heaven, or ask God for a cure and stay away from God?

If I am a god loving person, then I would choose to die and go with God, and of course, would never ask for a cure.

But the point here is that there seem to be a God answer for all the questions, even the question contradict itself. ie:

get cure: saved by God
dead: go with God

Even worse, many people accredit God for very rare occasion where the cancer being cure (0.01%), while they do not consider the 99.99% dead ratio. Some even disregard medical and science and choose praying instead. In most case, patients who could easily be cure by medical attention ended dead in a religious ceremony.

For some, their belief in God were too strong that they would make up absurd explaination and believe in it.

Your car broken down on the street and Mr. Deed pulled over and offer you help. I would not surprise if 5 out of 10 people would say: thank God for sending an angel down to help me.

You would say "That stupid Bush Administraion killed 2000 of our good young men." I have not heard anybody say: "God had taken the lives of 2000 American in Iraq".

Don't you think for a second that there may not be a God? And all things on this world created by human's deed? Greed, desire, lust take over control of us human that caused everything in this world, both good and bad?

Feel free if you like to share with me your thought.

Answer 6

Try taking a cup of water and a spoonful of orange syrup. Put the syrup in and stir. You get orange syrup juice. Now tell me, did the syrup had attracted molecules with the water and just created that juice, by science/ Nature's normal doing? No, you made it. Simple, yet so many people try to deny and find so many complicating reasons. Science is evidence not a fact. Just because we know how the blood system works does that mean it's proof that no one created it? There are too many false Gods out there, maybe that's why your confused. I beleive in God, who is mine, yours, and everyone's else's

Answer 7

There is no proof. I am not in the least concerned with arguing the point with you, as I do not believe in proselytizing. I'm not a Christian, but I do believe in God the Creator. Why I believe is because it seems logical to me. Either it does to you, or it doesn't.

Answer 8

How can anyone not know God does exist? Just look around you at all the wonders he has preformed. Look at the trees, The sky, the earth. Your life. My god does exist and if you don't know he does you better get down on your knees and pray for him to show you he does. All you have to do is just talk to him like you would one of your friends. He is your friend and HE DOES EXIST!!!!!!

Answer 9

By Faith! Faith is believing in something you can't see. No one can make you believe god exists, you either do or don't. How do you know he doesn't?

Answer 10

I know God exists because some people hate Him so how are they hating on a God that doesn't exist ...

FAQ: Do Swedenborgians believe in Hell or the Devil?


Swedenborg states "a perception of the sphere of falsity from evil that flows forth from hell has often been granted me. It was like a perpetual effort to destroy all that is good and true, combined with anger and a kind of fury at not being able to do so, especially an effort to annihilate and destroy the Divine of the Lord, and this because all good and truth are from Him. But out of heaven a sphere of truth and good was perceived, whereby the fury of the effort ascending from hell was restrained. The result of this was an equilibrium. This sphere from heaven was perceived to come from the Lord alone, although it appeared to come from the angels in heaven. It is from the Lord alone, and not from the angels, because every angel in heaven acknowledges that nothing of good and truth is from himself, but all is from the Lord" (Heaven and Hell n. 538).


"It has been believed heretofore in the world that there is one devil that presides over the hells; that he was created an angel of light; but having become rebellious he was cast down with his crew into hell. This belief has prevailed because the devil and satan, and also lucifer, are mentioned by name in the Word, and the Word in those places has been understood according to the sense of the letter. But by "devil" and "satan" there hell is meant, "devil" meaning the hell that is behind, where the worst dwell, who are called evil genii; and "satan" the hell that is in front, where the less wicked dwell, who are called evil spirits; and "lucifer" those that belong to Babel, or Babylon, who would extend their dominion even into heaven. That there is no one devil to whom the hells are subject is evident also from this, that all who are in the hells, like all who are in the heavens, are from the human race (see n. 311-317); and that those who have gone there from the beginning of creation to this time amount to myriads of myriads, and every one of them is a devil in accord with his opposition to the Divine while he lived in the world" (Heaven and Hell n. 544).
