how to reach god?-i've asked this one, but i didn't get too much answers..?

Question

there are 2ways to look at a world, the first is to accept the fact that there is a god, and you respect his rules. the second is, that the church is after all made of people, and they might make a mistake, and they might be wrong about things (eg. catholic priests can't have families). which way is better: to keep an open mind or to believe without questioning in the rules. and some of the rules are made by humans. there might be a mistake, isn't it?People wonder about these things, but i've known some who were so sure of themselves about these matters, they don't question anything, everything is so simple, everything makes sense etc. how do you reach that state, or does it worth reaching that state, because you might fall in the trap of fooling yourself, you deny everything else, and live in a world of your own. god made miracles to me, and it felt so good, i've never felt happier in my life, but how can i be so stupid to not accept him as he is after he's shown me how great he is?

you can reach god by contemplating on how things work, and why is better to live a life so different than others around you, and finally you accept that he is great, and you know he's right. or you can reach god by accepting without thinking, accepting blindly that he's right, and in this acceptance you find the knowledge. if everybody says that this is the right way, and god says it is not, you can only choose god if you trust him, if you believe in him, and his ways. because you know how things will be in the world, it is safe to trust the world, because all your friends been on that road, but how can you be different? how can you follow the rules of god, if everybody else is following the rules of their hearts? how can you know that what Freud said and what the church says is not contradictory? because this is how human nature is, you tend to live the life of nature, to kill if smth threatens you, to mate if you feel like it, to hit back if someone hits you etc.

Answer 1

You really need to go over here what you have said because ,
you sound some what confused and contradictory of your own
experience . So it makes it hard to give an answer to what you might be asking or are you telling ? Make no mistake though ,that true Christian's do nothing with out questioning .
That is the very thing we did to believe in the first place .
Research , read ,pray , trust , and then faith in what God has
opened our eye's to , plus opened our ears so that we could
hear . You see its not that we don't ?'s , its that our ?'s have
already been answered . Its not a world of our own , its the
world that God wanted for us from the beginning before it fell
to sin . To reach that state that you ask of , you must have a
relationship with God . To do so ,you must learn about Him .
Many people are indeed led away from the Truth , God's
promise of all good things for us and He can not lie or mislead anyone !! We as True Christian know that we can not do anything to reach God . It is all by His Grace that we
become Saved !!! . You have been deceived with a lot of
well ," hear say " that has no facts to it at all . Yet you are
half believing of it . That in fact is exactly what Satan mission
is . But have hope , for God has begun a good work in you .
You yourself said that a miracle happened to you . The real
? is , what are you going to do with it . You see if everyone did
what was in their heart we would not be in a fallen world today. Instead people do not do what is in their heart but ,
what they think !! ( you got it wrong on that one ) . Listen this
is short to your ?, but I invite you to email me if you would like
to get on track . Other wise may God Bless You with His Truth and Mercy.............

Answer 2

Don't rely on any one source too much. Nearly all of the denominations and various faiths will say that they alone know the truth. Think for yourself. Most importantly, do be a decent person and strive to be a contributor to the upward movement of humanity. Do unto others as you would have done to you. One thing is for certain, if there is a God then I am sure God is not stupid. He knows what's what. Seek God in your own way and with a sincere heart. Love and seek the truth even if the truth is dificult to accept. Learn about the way the world works, the universe and things such as the nature of the atom. The more you learn about the world you live in the more you will understand the mind of God. Of course, many intelligent people exist who do not believe in God. If they are correct then I hope both of us join their side and still seek to make the world a better place. And if there is a God I hope we still choose to make the world a better place!

Answer 3

First of all consider this: just because someone accepts that there is a God and He has created laws for us to live by doesn't mean that person is being blind or foolish.

Yes, ultimately the answer to your question is "simple" but it is certainly NOT easy.

For example, it's a simple and obvious fact that there is a God and He is good and He wants us to do what is right. But actually doing what is right can be difficult because we are imperfect beings.

That's why there is a Church. To help us accomplish what is difficult. Although the Church is made up of people who make mistakes, the Church is still a divine institution and God promised that He would guide it and preserve it until the end of time.

"The gates of Hell shall not prevail against the Church," said Jesus Christ to Peter. The apostle Paul wrote that the Church was "the pillar and foundation of the truth."

Your common sense is telling you what you already know, but your question shows that your fallen nature is struggling against Truth. Your will is battling against submitting to God. Remember who it was that refused to serve God in the beginning? It was Satan - the brighest and most beautiful of all the angels.

Do not follow in his footsteps.

Isis,
I appreciate your very long-winded item, but.
Your God is whatever you wish.
He is not a huge face in the sky with a beard keeping an eye on this tiny planet.
My God is myself, as that is where the soul is.
Bob.
