Is there a true god?

Question

Well I know that God is real and everything but I cant help to wonder about him. Like, how did he write the Bible? How can it still be here to this day? Is there really a heaven. There is no way someone can come back to life.

My grandmother finds it wrong for me to wonder these things.
But I happen to think it is perfectly normal.
Any suggestions?

Answer 1

God wants you to search for answers to all your questions despite what some people say. He wrote the Bible for us specifically for that reason. He answers thousands of questions and just about the time you think you know all the answers, you read the Bible again and you find more. It is designed by him to actually be revealed in layers like that. Also, as you read and search for him, you will be conditioning your heart for him. It is not wrong for you to wonder these things, but it is also not normal--You are wondering because God is calling you--You are actually very special and he sees your heart and that you want to know him and he is drawing you closer. Don't be afraid. The blessings awaiting you are beyond measure.

Answer 3

Jesus said "I am the way, the truth and the life. No one comes to God the Father except through Me."

You cannot get to God any other way. There is only ONE way.

God gave the words of the Bible to His servants. Remember, if the Bible were not God's words, it would have fallen to the side long ago. But God will not let it die, because it is the truth and it is His word and His word never changes.

Yes, there really is a heaven. Yes, if God touches someone, they can indeed come back to life. God is God.

Answer 4

Consider this : An archaeologist digs deep into the desert sand and finds a piece of an old clay pot. After his investigations, this archaeologist can tell us, from this little old piece of dusty clay, so much about the civilisation that existed thousands of years ago that produced it; he can tell us about the types of ovens, temperatues, and dyes that they worked with, the raw materials that they used, and thus assess the level of their artistic skill and technological ability, etc. All this from a small piece of clay lying in the desert.
Did this archaeologist ever see the civilisation that produced this pot ?

How does he know that it ever existed ?

He knows because he saw that the piece of clay was produced by someone who designed it, and shaped it, and had the intelligence to be able to heat it and produce the pot, and not only that, they also had the ability to colour it and make it look beautiful.

Design ==> Designer.

To the archaeologist the existence and intricacy of the piece of pottery is conclusive proof of the existence, intelligence and ability of the people who made it.

Look around you: at the beautiful sunset on a summer evening, at the moon and the stars on a cloudless night, at the water that you drink, at the trees and how they grow from tiny seeds.

Think about yourself: your eyes with which you see, your ears with which you hear, your tongues with which you taste and talk, your hands and your feet, your heart and your brain.

Consider how these things are so complex in themselves and yet work together in such perfect harmony.

From the movement of the galaxies to the complexities of the interaction of molecules, from the dynamics of eco-systems to the intricacies of DNA, all lead to the obvious fact of the existence of the great Wisdom, Knowledge and Power that allows our Universe to exist and function.

To any perceptive person the existence and intricacy of creation is conclusive proof of the Existence, Knowledge and Wisdom of the One who creates, organises and sustains it.

Most people naturally recognise the existence of the Creator, and we find reference to the Creator in all cultures and religions. Even the atheists, communists and (disbelieving) scientists cannot avoid this reality, but avoid the term 'creator', for phrases like 'Mother Nature' and 'the amazing way nature has designed...'

How strange in the face of this, that many today reject the belief in the existence of the Creator. Perhaps this is due more to fashion and the desire to justify a materialistic attitude to life rather than real observation and comprehension of reality.

Something stranger still, and perhaps another reason for the trend to deny the Creator, are those who claim that a man, or men, who walked on the earth, breathed air, who had bodies and souls subject to the Laws of the Universe, are the Creator, or manifestations of the Self-Subsistent One.

This is of course a complete contradiction in terms. Something cannot be the Creator and created at the same time, needing air, food and drink and being self-sufficient, being temporary and eternal!

If you are one of those who believe that a man such as Buddha, or Krishna, or Jesus is the Creator and Controller, then think again.

We were created from a drop of despised fluid, in which was a microscopic sperm, which in turn fertilised a microscopic egg and we grew in our mother's womb in stages predetermined, over which we had no control. We came from our mother's womb, urinating and defecating, needing constant attention and care. Without food we will die, without air we will die ... and then such a one is God?

Indeed any intelligent person would recognise exactly how dependant life, the universe and everything is on its Creator. Our dire need for His help makes itself plain in times of great distress.

Imagine yourself in an aeroplane and you know it is going to crash...

Who do you turn to for help then ?

Or on a ship in the sea, thrown helplessly up and down by towering waves ...

There will have been a situation at one time or the other in your life when you called upon your Creator alone, forgetting everyone and everything else, hoping, trusting, wishing that the Being you know in your heart and soul that has power and control over all things would help you. The only One you know can save you!

Answer 7

This means everlasting life, their taking in knowledge of you [Jehovah], the only true God, and of the one whom you sent forth, Jesus Christ. John 17:3

Answer 8

Of course you should wonder. And god did not write the bible, the bible was written by men who then claimed that it was the word of god. No one knows what happens when we die.

Answer 9

Yes, I suggest you know the essence of God

Answer 10

Demi god/goddess is true. They're earth, water, fire, and air.

Without one of them, nothing will exist and everything will die out.
