Why Can't We See God?

Question

Those who ask to see God directly seek to think of or know His Being directly. Just as we cannot see Him, we cannot think of or know His Being, for He is beyond all form, quality, quantity, and human conception or reasoning. In the words of Muslim theologians: "Whatever conception of God we form in our minds, He is other than it." And the Sufis say: "God is beyond all our conceptions, and we are surrounded by thousands of veils."

i strongly believe that we are too imperfect to understand His perfectness and able to see Him in real life, thats why we cant see Him.
so what do you think?

Answer 1

I agree. If a God does exist he is beyond our limited ability to comprehend. Yet when you think about imperfection it is an aspect of natural development, so in a sense God could be learning but on a different level. The problem I have with God is when people are willing to murder and kill in the name of God. At least to me it seems to be a step backward. If there is any kind of future hope for mankind we all must assume that our version of God doesn't want the destruction of mankind to be caused by humans fighting over belief systems. I personally believe that we should honor as many forms of life as we can with in reason and survival. The comparison could be when a wild creature looks you in the eyes and knows that you do not want to harm them. This has happened to me several times in my life, when it does I get the feeling we are on the same playing field. I think this is what God would expect from a mature mankind.

Answer 3

Although we may not be able to see God directly, we can see him in all the good in the world. He says in the bible that we are created in his image. Whenever I see someone doing something sweet for someone on the street, or a lost child being helped by a caring stranger, when I look at my children at night. These things are God. We are representations here on earth, so shine a good light. You never know who might need to see God today.

Answer 4

I can not speak of Muslims or other religions God with authority.
The one God in the Bible said to Moses as He appeared as a burning bush, that if He appeared in His true form, Moses could not comprehend Him. We as Christians believe by faith and faith by definition is something unseen. I notice your id here shows a sunset, think of God the creator that way, it may be dark now where you are, but someplace in the world the sun is rising and another place setting, that is faith.. Man biblicaly was said to have been created in His image, what exactly that image is no one living knows, but to me the image is of consciousness, right or wrong and the ever thirst for knowledge.

Answer 5

Do you think you would understand God if you were to see Him?
He is considered to be able to be both in our universe and outside our universe at the same time. God is able to be with everyone at all times. And Since God is spirit He is not material like ourselves. If you pursue a personal relationship with God, maybe, just maybe you will catch a glimpse. But it would have to be something you were willing to honestly seek, not just speculate about.

Answer 6

Would we be able to appreciate God if we could see him?

Man evolved to adapt, and if we see God, especially if we see Him all the time, we'd soon get used to it, or tire of it. Then we start taking things for granted.

What happens then? What would God mean to us then?

Maybe He (God) doesn't show Himself since he knows a truth about human nature: We are able to believe things that we can't see, and probably appreciate better things we can't see. In fact, a lot of the things we hold dear are invisible abstractions: Love, Justice, Inspiration, etc.

Answer 7

This is what religion tells us. Remember all the different religions claim that they speak for God. And that's why we have so many religions who can't agree and fight or cause world turmoil. God did not create man but ancient man who created god.

Answer 8

god is not a person, nor is it a solid object, god is a religious icon in which many religions have different gods in which they worship. i am an amateur astronomer, so my preference of god would be the big bang in which i believe that all things where made from.

Answer 9

God is a spirit, living beyond our time-space dimension.

Answer 10

He is energy, mind and love. He is a spirit that we cannot see though in heaven I do believe we will be able to see our heavenly father and his only son Jesus as they sit on their throne. As for the holy spirit, we cannot see him.
