Do you believe in God?

Question

why/why not?

Answer 1

Wow what a great question!, to be quite honest your belief structure is always a very personnel choice. yes i have and always will,im guessing that something has happened to you ask this question? i am sure that where ever you live that there is a group or person who can guide you in a comfortable manner. God bless you and your decision

Answer 2

I believe in God, but not the Bible's God. Men wrote the Bible, I have always believed that it's biased because men wrote it....i know they say they were touched by the holy spirit and the spirit actually did the writing...but i don't believe a God would be petty and vindictive...if you had the power to create everything we see out of nothing, would you worry about some of the mundane crap the Bible says God worries about????? i know i wouldn't...

Answer 3

Yes, I believe in God. Although I have no scientific evidence behind this, the universe has energy and force, balance and harmony, a unique variation of patterns and utter randomness ... and I believe that one of these forces is God. Although I view him as being a force of creation, obedience, and faith ... I don't view him as being the ultimate "good", or as being "all mighty" over everything. God is a necessity to maintain this universal balance.

Answer 4

No, I don't believe god exists. I was born an atheist, raised in a reasonably serious Christian family, but through my almost 70 years have not been exposed to evidence or argument that has come even close to convincing me.

It just doesn't seem logical to me.

Answer 5

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 6

Many people, especially of the evolutionary, atheistic orientation, challenge the existence of God. Why is that?
It is because God makes people feel uncomfortable-even guilty. That's because not only is He something, He stands for as the great moral and spiritual authority of divine law.
Those who want to freely live immoral lives, particularly sexually immoral, don't want to be reminded that their behavior is sinful. refuse to believe in a futile effort to destroy existence. In other words, if Go doesn't exist, then there would be no divine law and no reason to feel guilty for one's sins.
It doesn't work, by the way. They still feel guilty. There's only one solution for that guilt-repentance! (Mark 1:14-15)

Answer 7

Nope, acording to the bible god used to do have a lot of interaction with us, but today ..................................... Nothing, just a bunch of stories in a book, writers had pretty good imaginations back then.look at every religion out there, they all rely on ancient texts and scrolls, in wich there gods interacted with humans on a regular basis. truth be known the new testiment was written and put together 2-300 years after christs death and john wasn't written my john, matthew wasn't written by matthew....and so on and so on, any room for error????

Answer 8

Yes, because he has caused me to believe. All believers were chosen to believe and be saved before the foundation of the world was created.

Answer 9

Yes most definetly I believe in God. He is my Savior and Protector.
He died for me on the Cross and the miracles I have seen happen in my life is just awesome.....
My life is happy and so full of blessings each day....

Answer 10

Yes. I am sure it was partly because I was raised to but I have a feeling inside that allows me to believe. It's hard to explain but in my spirit I just know he is real.
