Has anybody ever met God?

Answer 1

Yes. When I was born of the Spirit according to John's Gospel, chapter 3, verses 1-21

3"Now this is eternal life: that they may know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent."
John 17:3

"Whoever has my commands and obeys them, he is the one who loves me. He who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I too will love him and show myself to him....
Jesus replied, "If anyone loves me, he will obey my teaching. My Father will love him, and we will come to him and make our home with him."
John 14:21,23

"Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God. 8Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love."
I John 4:7-8

"No one has ever seen God; but if we love one another, God lives in us and his love is made complete in us.
We know that we live in him and he in us, because he has given us of his Spirit. And we have seen and testify that the Father has sent his Son to be the Savior of the world. If anyone acknowledges that Jesus is the Son of God, God lives in him and he in God. And so we know and rely on the love God has for us.
God is love. Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in him.
I John 4:12-16

Answer 2

Jon Ros ... please sweetheart, don't try to mix emotive religious beliefs with science. It is so not right. You can't scientifically justify your scientifically baseless belief in god and jesus and stuff. U will get more respect just saying what you believe.

On the up side, there is nothing wrong with believing in life beyond the death of the physical body. For one thing science hasn't anything to say on the matter - it is possible. Einstein (Oh worship his long straggily hair do) said that nothing can be destroyed - only changed into something else.

Also its a win-win thing. If you are right about the survival of the personality beyond the death of the body then... horrayy. If you are wrong you will NEVER KNOW IT.

I am pretty anti-religious (I posted the banned 'Can We Turn Bibles into Toilet Paper' question a few days ago) but I think it doesn't hurt to keep an open mind on what we are, what our true nature is. Science is only now finding that the material world is energy in motion (sort of thing) so therefore we probably are too. And Einstein did tell us energy can't be destroyed.

Answer 3

My childhood - I experienced every form of abuse you can imagine. For a large part of my life, I did not see God as good – how could he have let all this happen to me – a little child? But God’s word says that He will see us through all of our troubles. So I prayed to Him after decades of pain, and claimed this promise – I know I can’t prove this to anyone, but within seconds He erased the pain from my mind. I don’t mean that I had forgotten, but the pain was as if it belonged to someone else – for me, this is what ‘born again’ means – it felt like I was a new person… there isn’t a person on this planet who can ever convince me that God doesn’t exist, because I have had a personal experience with Him! God is love – Love isn’t understood with the mind, it has to be felt to be understood. When we reach out to Him, sincerely wanting to find Him…we will find Him – He is not hiding – He is waiting for you to acknowledge Him, come to Him…

Answer 4

Depends on ones beliefs about God.

It could be said that every person on the planet has met God as God is in all things.

Answer 5

I've met the Devil and a Saint named Barbara. Never met God though.

Yes

Answer 10

of course not.

Nobody can prove any gods, much less a specific god, exist; many people will tell you their god exists but no others, but will never be able to prove it, even if they think so. Some will threaten you with eternal pain or promise eternal joy to get you to believe in their god; these are all stories, created for people who were scared long before we understood the universe. Now we have no more reason for these superstitions.
