Is there a god?

Question

I'm confused, not about religion. If there is a god then who created him or her or it? Besides putting a gun to my head, how will I find out there is a god?

Answer 1

I'm not sure that there is a god...If there is I am sure that he is really pissed off at those who created religions...they are here just to control people.

Answer 2

It depends upon your God concept. In the traditional Judeo-Christian view, God always was, always will be, no beginning and no end. This is hard for our minds to get around.

Another concept of God is a mystical one, and sort of goes like this: God became aware of God, and in so doing, created everything out of the only thing that exists--God. God goes from awareness-duality-- back to a state of unity, which is not awareness, but pure being--and yet, this is a REALLY hard concept to get your mind around! By this concept, btw, God is not sure how God came to be.

You find God through your personal experiences. If you are seeking God, God will come to you. There is an old saying that goes something like this: If you take one step towards God, God will run ten steps toward you. What is really happening is that you are realizing the divinity that is at the core of your own being (this according to the mystical concept, again).

I have had many mystical experiences in my life that have left me no doubt as to the existance of Something beyond myself. They have always come as a complete surprise and they have always been varied in what I saw, heard, and felt. The one commonality was the deep peace and love and light that I felt inside both during and after the experience.

Answer 3

Asking this question, one is asking for a consensus of other’s opinion based upon their experiences. God is personal and affecting everyone differently. Some may have direct visions or contact with God while others will accept the testimony of others. In my opinion when trying to answer this question, one has to look within themselves for the answer. Asking others will only confuse the situation and compound the problem.

Answer 4

Everything starts from basic and progresses towards complexity.
Its hard for us to imagine that we started with very basic organisms and have progressed towards complexity; hence we have humans. In this way we should think of the big bang.
Its hard for us to imagine where the beginnings come from, but they do. God, assuming he is real, is a complex being (right?). But his existence implies that he was there from the onset...How can a complex being, created of matter or not, exist when nothing complex exists?

I think this paradox supports the idea that no God exists, but i'm still trying to figure things out too...

Answer 5

Some would say that the intricate complexity of the creatures of the earth or the beauty of nature should convince us that there is a God, but it really comes down to belief that there is more to existence than the mundane lives we experience.

Answer 6

I've thought about that a lot, and all I know is that he's always been there, no matter how hard it is to comprehend this.

And if you want proof, you can look in the bible. Even if man did write it, it was written long before it was realized that the earth revolved around the sun, and such, but it's mentioned in the bible. Mainly in Job.

Answer 7

(John 4:24) 24 God is a Spirit, and those worshiping him must worship with spirit and truth.”
(Ephesians 3:14-15) 14 On account of this I bend my knees to the Father, 15 to whom every family in heaven and on earth owes its name, If we owe our names to God, Why is man hiding God's name?
See KJV Exodus 6:2,3, Psalms 83:18, Isaiah 12:2, Isaiah 26:4
If God’s name could appear in four verses, why could it not appear in all the other thousands of verses that contain it in the original Hebrew, [e-mail]

Answer 8

God is uncreated. He is revealed in the glory of his creation. When we look at a beautiful vista or a precious child, we are seeing the fingerprint of God. All the beauty of this world is a reflection of God's love for us. He gave us this world for our pleasure and joy and to point us to Him. The very question itself points to God's desire for our fellowship. God put the question in our souls so that we would seek Him.

Ask Him, he will not fail to answer you. It may not be the way you expect, but he will not fail to answer you. He wants you to seek Him.

Answer 9

Yes there is!!!! :) God always was, always is, and always will be!
He created you and me,(we didnt come from a monkey) and knows who we are and knows everything about us! He already knew us before we were born! Isnt that amazing? And He sent His son to die on the cross for OUR sins, and rose up from the grave!(no, not like a zombie) Its incredible that He could love us SO much, even though we dont deserve it. :)

Answer 10

God had no beginning, so He needed no cause. Check out the evidence for Christianity, ask God to reveal Himself to you, go to church.
