I am a kind of person who loves salvation and God, I think God is shapeless, but can be felt from people. All the people you've known are part of Jesus, they act somehow in Jesus's way individually. So is it right to keep asking God to come into my life and save living souls in the world? Sometimes I feel my prayers are not answered, and my answered prayers are too big to have, for example I prayed for financial problems of my family then he answered as money are gained more than I thought.
Well guys, I want to know how you live your life with the love from God? What do you guys think in your heart that is known only by yourself? For me it is "keep loving" as my faith.

As a human being it's very normal to ask such a question about God.
Well maybe I just need a direction, even I don't know what God is I'll still understand after my death. So believe in yourself and your religion and don't fight with this to anybody with different opionion.

Don't try to judge me as a fanatic or something. It makes me feel lonely more.
Why need to hurt me, I was hurt deeply before. Don't put salts on my wound again guys. I'll never ask such question again on the Internet 'coz I know the answerse will always be different.

You are describing a "pantheistic" view of God and that is directly contrasted with the Holy Bible. If you want Jesus to come into your life, start reading about the real Jesus, the one in the bible. I hope you come to the light.

There are three reasons why God does not anwer prayers:

1) He is not there.
2) God chooses not to listen (and chooses not to act), effectively rendering him useless. In which case praying is fruitless.
3) Asking for things (as opposed to thanking him for things) is useless. He already knows that you will pray, and what you will pray for. And he already knows what will happen to you and the world around you. Who are you to presume that you know better than God? Basically, he will not act.

I don't beleive in God. But I don't think that it is wrong to. If you want something, YOU have to work for it.
It is nice going to bed every night thinking that someone is watching over you and will do right by you. But at the end of the day, praying won't fill your stomach; work will.

I am not trying to convince you that God doesn't exist. In fact, you should keep beleiving in him because it will keep you sane. All I'm saying is that even if he does exist, your prayers will go unanswered; so it is up to you to improve your life.

For all you people that will give me a thumbs down, I honestly don't care. You may say that "just last week, I asked God for a son, and now I have a son!" or "I asked God to save my life and he did!".
All those things are simply a matter of coincidence.

keep praying he has a plan for you and will provide for you and will never put more on your soul than what it can handle. these types of self doubts are Satan's way of putting stumbling blocks in front of you, he is afraid he is losing another soul to be tormented along with him in everlasting damnation. Don't ever forget that God loves you and will never leave you or forsake you once you have truly confessed your sins and accepted Jesus as your Lord and Savior no one can take him away from you and the kingdom of heaven and life ever lasting is your reward.

I am not sure. But my Dad taught me something that makes SO much sense: God is HUMUNGOUS. Bigger than you could EVER, EVER imagine. To him, 1 week could be 7 billion years. 1 billion each day. I said, "Dad, how could God make dinosuars, and then they all disappear? I though he made animals on 1 day, and ppl the next? How could the dinosaurs exstint in 1 day?" And he answered, "Rachel, you know God is bigger than you could ever imagine. God isn't specific. 1 week to us could be 7 billion years to him. The dinosaurs could have been on 1 of the days of his week, which means that would be 1 billion years, giving them time to exstinct."

A couple months later, I ask another question: "Daddy, why doesnt God show signs he exists and appears in people's prescense like he used to in the past?" And he answered, "he has his ways." I thought about it for some time and pieced it together. It all made sense! On Sunday, he relaxed and looked at his creation! Maybe, we are living what he sees as Sunday, but we see as 1 billion years! God bless you :D Don't listen to people who deny his existence.

I have seen miracles happen that leads me to know there is a God, and I know he is a loving God, not someone to be afraid of. We are not perfect and he knows that, and loves us just the same. Only some will have to really pay for their actions in the end. I don't know what his punishment will be, it isn't up to us to know. But as long as you pray to him and talk to him, acknowlege his being, you shouldn't have to worry about anything in the end. He gives you choices and it is up to what you choose as to how things will turn out. Good or bad. If we didn't have some bad things in our lives, we wouldn't know humility, nor compassion. Keep up with your prayers and spread your love.

Good for you Tom, I spent several years angry with God after my Son died. I cursed him for taking away my child and then proceded to destroy my life with drugs and alchohol till I had nothing left but my life. Then I tried to take that away but discovered it wasn't up to me to decide. God stepped in. One day I asked Jesus and God back into my life and I honestly feel forgiven. My life has changed so much since then. I have my family back and my life.Although my son is still gone I know he's with God and he lives throughme as well as Jesus Im happy now and I thought I never could be again and its through Gods help that im better now I try to spread the word and my love as much as I can God bless you. As for me,I spread love to all and invite people to let Jesus in their lives.

That's nice. I wouldn't know what else to say, or if I think this is getting a bit too flowery or not. Fact is, I'd rather have a world full of you guys than those who oppose you. I hope you saw that as the kind of compliment I meant it as...

The christian life can be compared to a 3 - legged stool. All three legs must be there or else you fall off. and if one of the legs is shorter, then you might not fall off but you will be off-balance.

in the christian life, the three legs are prayer, bible study, and fellowship with other believers. these three aspects of our lives with Christ are absolutely fundamental to our growth.

prayer = not just presenting a shopping list to god but real communion with Him, getting to know Him, listening to Him, loving Him, praising Him

bible study = we are called to students of the word, reading the word, memorizing verses, studying passages, etc.

fellowship = we need other believers, to pray with, to study with, to talk to, to bear each other's burdens

so I would encourage you to develop in all three areas. learn to pray more, take time to read the bible more, get involved with other christian's lives.

if you do, you will grow in grace and in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus.

godbless!!!

1. Jesus was a man who lived 2,000 years ago-----he is dead now. Live with and for G-d--------------not a dead man.

2. I never ask G-d for anything in personal prayers. I do say alot of ''Thank you'' thruout the day. That is my praying. People should thank G-d for things-not ask for more and more.

It's never wrong to ask God to come into your life. If I didn't have Jesus in my life and God to answer to, I would have no direction.
