Is there a God?

Question

I'd like to belive in Him but He seems so sexist and never there when you need Him?

Answer 1

The one thing that unites all human beings, regardless of age, gender, religion, economic status or ethnic background, is that, deep down inside, we all believe that we are RIGHT.

Answer 2

Hi Sandy, God is real and without Him we could not exist for a second, He is far fro sexist as He sent His only Son into the world to save it and that means Men and Women.
Jesus was very concerned for the rights of Women and showed this many times, it is humanity that at times is sexist.

Answer 3

God is always there, you just need to pray to him and he listens. he is the anceient god of Isreal, that is so cool, try opening up a bible and reading it, so many good stories in it. Jesus was a man, the son of god, sent to earth 2000 years ago. like god on earth.he was a human sacrifice i believe and have total faith that this really happened, so it depends where your faith is. peace be with you and be blessed. How can you say god is sexist?, he is neither male nor female. just a figure of speach, the all powerfull master and creator

Answer 4

He seems sexist (among many other things) to you at this point because you are very engrossed in the world. I still fall into this always with the clothes I wear, etc. We've all become so indoctrinated by non-belief to the point that most "professing Christians" could be accurately labeled as Moralistic Therapeutic Deists, at best. Go to the Word of God, seek Him! He will hear you. Check out the "Christianity 101" tab @ monergism.com that should help.

Answer 5

Of course there is! Look at all the creations around us glorifying Him every day, He created everything good. And if you really have the heart to search for Him, He will reveal Himself to you. For a start, try giving the Jehovah's Witnesses a chance the next time they come knocking at your door. They're wonderful people and they can certainly explain a lot of things to you. All the best!
P.S. And He does listen to all our prayers individually and He has His own ways of answering our prayers. So, keep praying, miracles do happen.

Answer 6

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.

The bible was written by men, for men.

Answer 7

I don't believe in that God either.

But I know God exists, from my own direct personal experience. God is not sexist and is always there - regardless of need.

Wouldn't hurt to think so. Plus how else can one explain a precised cycle of floating planets,that by now surely would have crashed into each other for as long as existence been around?
If someone Mightier than human intelligence did not exist.

Answer 10

God is always there. If you're like me your judgement of people, places and things, and your need to be in control gets in the way. Once we can ask for help and get out of the way so It can work in our life amazing things happen. You may not like the results but if you learn to accept them you will see God working in your life.

Answer 11

Yes, that is the fault, we believe in God when He supplies sense gratification for us so we can enjoy life and He "must" give everything to us, and not just that, when we get in trouble for given our senses go wild, we also demand Him to fix the problem for us, and when nothing happen, "God is dead, there is not God. etc."
First deserve and then demand. Means we have to control ourselves, and control our lusty desires to enjoy the property of God illicitly, and surrender unto Him. Then, just till then, He will agree to take care of us and you will experience the presence of God in your life.
