what does God mean to you..how do you feel about where he is in the world today?

Question

i was just wondering i have my own views i beleive in God but do not believe people should be forced to beleive a certain religion..

Answer 1

God means everything to me. I believe everything that has meaning in my life is a reflection of Him. I always find security knowing that He is with me always.

I feel sad that God is not a part of all our lives. I do not try to push people to believe in god, but I fee l sad that it is becoming "cool" to not belive in Him. I am also very scared that one day nonbelievers will be the majority. God created us and we should put Him first in our lives.

Answer 2

No one *can* be forced to believe anything. Even by violence they cannot make you do anything more than say things, not change your heart. This is why most religions don't actually "force" belief on people; they just think it's important and try to convince people.

If there is a God, then this God would be something in particular that we might describe. Maybe this God has even been involved in this world and described Himself to us. If this is true, then this means that perhaps one of the religions of the world has either got a better grip on the truth about God, or maybe was even founded by this God.

Christianity makes this claim: that God directly participated to reveal Himself over time and then eventually showed up in the human body of Jesus of Nazareth. If this is true, then whatever Jesus and his students said is pretty authoritative about what God is like. If Jesus wasn't God in the flesh, though, then you can pretty much forget what the Bible says about him as pure speculation (or lies at worst).

Answer 3

I also believe in God/Jesus and also agree that people should not be forced to a certain religion. Religions were man made...as were many of the "church rules". I have a personal relationship with my creator and with his son Jesus and would not give it up for anything else.

I think God is losing ground in this world in many ways. Not because Satan has grown stronger (because I do not believe that is the case) but because "religions" are constantly arguing over who is right etc. People get bound by the denomination rather than having the personal relationship. I don't say that people should not go to church if that is their desire but I do say that they must realize that the "church" in this instance is not God. Religion is not the end all....its teachings are merely the beginning of exploring with God.

Answer 4

he is working in the minds of each loving soul to change the world for the better,but it takes time because we have messed things up.he sees the big picture that we dont.you are right about religion or spirituallity,no one should be forced to believe a certain way

Answer 5

I believe in God also and I dont think anyone should be forced to believe in any certain religion either.

But I do think that people should accept Jesus Christ, for he is not a religion, he is our Savior!

You might enjoy reading The God Delusion.

Of course nobody should be forced to believe anything.

Answer 7

God is as relevant as we allow Him to be. It is the responsibility of believers to help non-believers focus on God.

Answer 8

God is the albatross around the neck of humanity.

I think if people got rid of it we would be able to progress more as a species.

Answer 9

Jesus means the world to me.he made me and thats all i need to have.i think we all owe him some respect for that alone

Answer 10

God to me means everything to me and i believe that he is our savior and he put us on this world .i also know he died for me and he will aways forgive me.
