How can we be sure about the fact that God is what it says itself to be?

Answer 1

It's not. It's a figment of a syphilitic mind. Abraham was not well.

Answer 2

You can never be sure until God shows up like he used to do in the Bible. Keep in mind that all religions hide the fact that history shows that for thousands of years around the time of Egyptian Culture, God was considered to be a woman, aka: Goddess. If man has this power over God to change genders then no belief can be trusted?

Answer 3

YOU CAN'T THATS WHY THEY CALL IT FAITH!!!
An eternal God, beyond time, needs nothing at all. It doesn't have wants because it is a perfect being. It lacks nothing. It can never be improved, because it is already perfect. God knows every possible experience; it cannot "fall in love", as God is love. If love is good, then God would have created everything in a state of permanent love, with no evil or suffering. If free will was required, then God must kill itself and disappear forever. That would be the ultimate sacrifice in order to allow free will. A perfect God, if it wants free will, would kill itself for love. If God's love is meaningful, and yet God cannot choose evil, then it makes no sense to say that in order for Humankind's love to be good, it does need evil.

Answer 4

It is good that you have identified God with a capital G.Thats improtant and it shows the indecision you r currently facing. God is living so u really cannot refer to Him as itself. It is important to have a persoanl relathisnhiop twith Him. That way you two can communicate and understandeach other perfectly. To know that God really exists trying looking at all the good deeds happening around you! They are all there
2prove it to you of his Existence. Of course bad things are there too but due to God''s nature He has to allow you to make your ow mistakes! It is upto you to differentiate btwen righr and wrong. Ultimately it is the right that always. Take a bible, join a church that really articulate yours beliefs or better still form a small group in your neighborhood, workplace and discuss the bible. It is the beginning of realising both in your mind and heart of His wonderful existence in each and everyone of us! You can be sure that He will welcome you back to His fold with open arms!

Answer 5

Nobody can prove any gods, much less a specific god, exist; many people will tell you their god exists but no others, but will never be able to prove it, even if they think so. Some will threaten you with eternal pain or promise eternal joy to get you to believe in their god; these are all stories, created for people who were scared long before we understood the universe. Now we have no more reason for these superstitions.

Answer 6

By having faith. Hebrews 11:1: Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. Also, by the power of the Holy Spirit, you can ask for wisdom and knowledge and God will reveal himself to you through a real relationship with Him. Beautiful!

Answer 7

Since no one ever hears God "speak" except through a depth experience in one's own soul, there is no absolutely certain way to disninguish the voice of God from the errors of human beings. Which is why I say "semper reformandum," and why I'm a theological liberal.

Answer 8

Jesus said that God is Spirit that those who worship Him must worship Him in spirit and truth. When you worship God with your spirit and in line with God's word God, the Holy Spirit, especially if you are Spirit baptized, helps you to worship God through singing in the Spirit. When you pray in tongues the Holy Spirit gives you the heaven language to pray. When the Holy Spirit moves and works through you which you can experience then you truly know the reality of God. It is a spiritual experience knowing God.

Answer 9

Do you know of other intelligence than man!
Who had created all creation, even man and the rest!
Was man before creation!
How long does it take for humans to venture all the universes!
Are we to an end or we have not started yet!
To all that matters, when are we going to learn?

Answer 10

God never used any word to say something.

Answer 11

First of all, we must understand that in order to become closer to God, we have to know who God almighty is. He is a living and active almighty Spirit. He sees all and has the power and ability and perfect knowldege to control all. That means everything. In knowing this we must also have respect for our spiritual father God, by atleast adressing him the correct form. God is not an (it) he is a living spirit and when you pray to god you must pray through faith and acknowledgement in knowing that it is him, God that you are praying to in Spirit in the name of Jesus Christ, because Jesus Christ died for us all and he died for our sins. Amen to that my brother and God Bless you. I leave with you a prayer, Dear God in Jesus Name I pray that my brother in Chrsit here finds you and that when that moment he fellowships with you and decides to make a change in his life in you and you in him that you may manifest your works in his life and show him by the beautiful works of your living and active spirit that you have done it all. In Jesus name I pray father amen.
