God followers, time to explain yourself?

Question

I'm not going to tell you God is not real, if you want to believe it is your choice. I would just like to have one sensible answer to the question, none of this "Look at this banana" or "look at the sun".

Sit back for one moment, ask yourself if you had not heard of the Bible, were not raised to believe there was a God, would there still be one?

Answer 1

I'm a Goddess follower.....hope I can answer this...since your question refers to belief in the male deity (whom I also believe in).

First you are generalizing a bit. Many, many ppl believe in God and do NOT believe in the bible. There are many, many more religions out there besides the Abrahamic death cults of islam, christianity and judaism. I do not believe in the bible though I have studied it in depth. The bible is simply the basis for doctrine among a small number of extremist faiths. So, yes....many ppl are able to believe in God without the bible.

Let's get off this warped interpretation of God. God, which is simply Great Spirit, the Tao, the Cosmic Yin/Yang, the Creative Life Force, the Schwartz, or the Big Nothing, has no need for praise or belief of any kind, because it is an entity complete unto itself. It is not a sickly human being who feels as if nobody loves it if other petty and puny human beings don't suck up to it and tell it is loved. No intelligent person is buying this rubbish anymore. No thinking person with any self-esteem is falling upon his or her knees to lick the boots of a giant old man with a white beard who has the power to bestow accommodations in Heaven. The game is up.

Enlightened people do not see themselves as separate from their own creator. They are the creators of their own dramas. Thus, they do not go around praising any "Lord" person who they believe is governing their lives. Awakened ones know conclusively that they are running their own lives. Illuminated beings are not separate from the authority that dictates how they live. They are their own authority; they have their autonomy to decide what they will do with their lives. And they praise nothing and everything.

So yes in these terms I believe in God/Goddess.

Answer 2

yes of course there would be. How do you think the human body was created the two exact, amazing ways? How do you think so many animals are specified for each different purpose, and do it in an amazing, excellent way? everything God created reflects him. Some people ask, "where is God?" I think a better question to ask is "where isn't God?" I don't know what kind of answer you're looking for, but I hope this helps. God bless you :)

Oh yeah, and I wasn't raised to be a seventh-day adventist Christian. I was born and raised an athiest. I found my way to God through a youth pastor at the seventh-day adventist church years ago, and this is the best way to live. I get so emotional and teary whenever i talk about it. I can only hope and pray that you can find the same happiness I have found through the Christ

Answer 3

I am so grateful for your permission to go ahead and believe in God. I really needed that. I sense you have a lot of time on your hands. One day in the future you will, like me, have to account for how you spent each moment. Good Luck.
To answer your question: Yes, of course there would still be a God no matter what I or any other mere man can say or do. Although Americans continue to rail against God and refuse to accept His Gift to us, He remains and will be faced by each some day. There may yet be some extremely secluded areas of this planet where people live and have not had the privilege of choosing for or against God. This is why many missionaries have gone and have given up everything all of their lives to try to do their part to make sure all have been given the information.

Answer 4

Okay let me see if I can explain and this may seem a little weird. Since I was maybe 5-6 years old I knew there had to be higher power. I was not raised in a household that went to church and that sort of thing I just believed. The older I got I would start to think or talk (prayer) and sometimes they were answered and sometimes they weren't. God reveals his self to people that has an ear ( willing to listen) There have been certain circumstances in my life that I've watched work out that I knew that it could only be one person(God). It's your choice not to believe in him, but don't question me or ridicuke me because I do.

Answer 5

in my opinion i do not imagine God, as an entity, exists in a fashion which will be considered, heard, touched, smelled etc. i'm enthusiastic about the enormous Bang idea, and sturdy truth. I do trust that God exists interior the variety of a social and cultural moral experience. for this reason why you get different beliefs and rituals for various gods in numerous factors of the international - and that all of them replicate how human beings stay and study on an customary foundation. human beings do only not seem to imagine about what they're doing and how issues connect up in that experience - so I only imagine that they use their faith as a preserve from particular issues interior the international. They cover in the back of it and wave away issues which have valid factors, and use their personal morals to modify non secular morals to their personal benefit. "Jesus loves you, so i do not ought to" - being one celebration. it continually made me ask your self why faith and subculture were separated into 2 communities in college, considering they're (in my view) an similar ingredient. except the first is only psychological, the latter is actual as well. i do not trust in God in both experience, although I well known the existence of a social and cultural moral experience - I keep on with my personal set of beliefs and morals and under no circumstances those written through lengthy lengthy gone preachers. after all, I make my possibilities; no human being else; so why could someone/some thing else have dominance over my existence-form?

Answer 6

I was not raised to believe in God and opened my first bible 10 years ago. As a Christian, I admit that I do have problems with quite a few things in this religion but don't doubt for one second that there is a God, I've seen to much to deny this one. Peace :-)

Answer 7

I would most likely believe in some kind of supreme being because it is a natural human instinct. Look at all the ancient religions that worshiped their concept of the divine. It probably arose from observations of the natural beauty of the world. They all figured something greater than themselves had made that magnificent sunrise or mountain and thus started worship. So, I may not have worshiped the God I know, but odds are, I'd be worshiping something.

Answer 8

The ability to perceive the existence of a creator/supreme being is "hard-wired" into the brain of every human.

The only difference is the way that god is perceived by the various cultures and nations.

People have worshipped the sun, the moon, animals, imaginary creatures, and just about everything else.

What sets Christianity apart is the actual historical figure of Jesus Christ, who remains the only person in history who was prophesied to come, came, taught, fulfilled all the prophecies about him, actually claimed to be God, and then proved it, by raising himself up from the dead.

He gets my vote.

Answer 9

I've never met you. In fact I've been raised to not believe in you. Yet you exist.

God existed before He made the world. He certainly doesn't need me in any sense of the word. Your thoughts about God are as if he's a grandpa living in a distant city -- or less than that even. He's the most amazing and wonderful being, and He wants you to know Him.

Answer 10

Uhm, ask yourself -

Where did the concept of God originate??

Many ancient civilizations had no Bible or other teachings, yet they believed in a higher intelligence.

Ask yourself why?

Belief in God does not 'make' a god.

Therefore, God does not exist just because some people believe there is one.
