if God appeared to you personally and told you He exists would you believe?

Question

What would you tell God was the reason that you do not believe Him- because one day He will appear to all men- so what will you tell Him then?

Answer 1

I already do believe in him without seeing him.

Answer 2

Excellent question. By the grace of God himself I will not have to be in that position and answer it as I am a saved believer.

I fear for those who will however, because then it will be too late for them. :( Very, very sad to think about.

Jesus already came to earth and proved he was the son of God, of which included several miracles. God has already proven himself without end. Just look around, the simple fact that you and this universe exist. So when he returns, there will be no second chances, you have chosen to either deny or accept him and time is up. He will have given everyone more than a graceful amount of chances to repent and accept him. You could try to argue it with him, but there's simply no doing so. He will apologize and cast you away with eternal seperation from him because he had not ever known you.

Answer 3

Yes, I would definitely believe in God, and I already do. I bear witness to that in the chills I get whenever I feel God around. I also know God works miracles; I have personally seen some very disturbed kids turn around for the good because of God. When I see God, I don't think I could actually say anything; I'd probably be too awestruck at His glory.

Answer 4

What you are saying is if ......POOOOFFF suddenly a mysterious being materialized in front of me out of thin air and said "Hi, I'm God" would I believe him/her/it?
I would suggest that if such a magical materialization happened, this being would probably be able to communicate anything to me that it wanted me to believe, which means that I still would not know whether it was being truthful or deceitful. Since I could hardly ask for said being to produce appropriate credentials, about the only thing I would know for sure is that this entity, whatever it was, was sure capable of pulling a neat trick that I can't do.

Answer 5

Yes, I would believe. Now, let's be clear for a second. I don't mean that some preacher comes up to me and says that God exists, i.e. that God is going through someone. I mean God, physically parts the clouds, and appears to me personally, with lots of angels, trumpets, lightening bolts and thunder, etc...

As for if that happened, and eventually, if God exists, I get called on the carpet to explain myself as to why I doubted God's existence (remember, agnostic here - unsure if God exists), I would say something like this:

"God, you asked me why I doubted your existence. You gave me life and all these gifts like my wonderful sense of humor and my intelligence. Well, Lord, I used them, just like I thought you wanted me to. I used them to search high and low for you, through countless pages of literature, across the Millennia of history. Upon my journeys, do you know what I found, Lord? I found that the majority of humanity has such a screwed up view of you, I didn't know what the truth was. I couldn't discern it for myself, because there is so much crap out there, you can't see the truth. So, I thought about it, and decided that if I can't see the truth, then I would keep looking, and keep learning, and keep sifting, and hopefully, one day, I would find it. I felt that was the truest course of action to you, Lord. Well, now, I'm dead, and I found the truth.

Lord, regardless if my soul is saved or damned, I make a plea for my fellow human beings - you gotta go down there and clear up all this crap. You have to clarify what you want, because some people in the right religion (whatever one it is) that is yours have wildly differing opinions. People are killing each other in your name, and all because man has so screwed up your wishes, we don't know which way is up anymore!

Anyway, you asked why I doubted your existence. And the answer is because you gave me the gift of intelligence, man screwed up religion, and I did my best to wade through it. I used everything that you gave me Lord, and came up short. So, I kept an open mind, and kept searching. And that's why I doubted your existence."

Answer 6

Nope because the Christian god is a stupid character born of fiction. If something was perfect then humans would hate it something, everything needs a flaw in some way. Greek god I could believe in same with Norse...But never the Christan's false Idol

Answer 7

Yes, just like the following things appeared to me and made me believe:
Santa Claus
Santa Claus ll (the DVD)
The Tooth Fairy
The Easter Bunny
Dick Cheney's Soul
Hannibal
Jesus
and last but not least...
Paul McCartney

Answer 8

If he personally appeared, proved he was god, then yes, I'd believe he exists. I would still want nothing to do with him.

Answer 9

I think that if there is a god it will understand perfectly why I didn't believe, without judgment. And then we'll get a good laugh out of all the Christians who claim to 'know' what god wants.

Answer 10

I already believe in Him..but it's funny how so many people still wouldn't. They want scientific evidence, and when it's so plainly in front of their faces they still deny it. Because they have faith, they're not cold-hearted sticks without bias or opinion, that's what many atheists would hope to lead you into believing. That they don't have assumptions, but they believe purely what science says...but that's not true, it's not real science if they have any bias or faith about it. It's self-conflicting.

Answer 11

That is a valid point
I do believe in a higher power.
Part 2.
I would tell him to go away and start again.
This time try to get it right.
No Famine Or War or Disease and NO Greedy Politicians.
