Do you believe in God?

Question

Please share your personal opinion. Also, please explain why you do or do not believe in God.

Answer 1

Yes.

Why do I? There are so many reasons. When you really sit back and look at things--not thinking about anything, not about yourself or another person or life or anything that really seems like it matters from day to day--you realize how truly divine so many things are. Things that we never even notice otherwise. I don't know how to explain it. In my own way, I've seen some sort of divinity in too many things around me, in too many occurences, to NOT believe.

Answer 2

This is very profound question that many take for granted. I do believe in God, that is YHWH, the God of the Jews and the Father of Jesus the Messiah.

I believed probably initially because I was raised in a Christian environment. However over the years I have experienced his presence in my life. It is very hard to explain personal spiritual experiences.

I have come to believe that there is no other path to God except through Christianity. I believe that other religions have similiar attributes and virtues but I believe in the Christ son of God.

I have grown to not believe a lot of traditional church doctrines but that is out of the scope of this question. But as a part of my growth I have had to unleard old errorneous things about God and replaced it with experience and knowledge I believe came from God.

I have never been drawn to worship any other Gods though there was a period of time where I studied other religions seeking some answers.

I believe the Bible is the inspired work that tells of God, his son, and purpose for us but I don't believe it is inerrant.

I believe God and I believe that also through science and nature that God reveals himself to us.

I believe a lot if you'd like to know more then email me I guess. I have a 360 page that I'm slowly doing things with.

Answer 3

I do not think that there is a God. Science has a lot to do with my judgment, but it did not convince me, per say. More that I argued the theory of evolution with myself for years and debated religion. But I think the with the right perspective, Darwin's theories can explain many of the mysteries. But no one incident made up my mind.

The way I see it is that most Christians argue that evolution is like having a tornado flew through a junkyard, that just so happened to have everything found in a Rolex watch. And after the tornado, the watch was perfectly assembled. And I agree that that doesn't make any sense. However, I believe that evolution is a lot like robbing a bank safe, but every time you hit a correct number on the lock, the door opens slightly, and money and gold come pouring out. But as you keep turning the dial (or as mutations keep occurring) gold and money continue to pour out of the safe.

Answer 4

In Ozzy's song I Don't Want to Stop, he says there are too many religions but only one God. I agree with that. No matter what religion you are, God is the same for everyone, it's just that he has many different names. I believe in God and the Goddess. I don't think one person could have made the world, let alone control everything that happens. You have the male and female who are in control of different things. The Goddess is in control of death and rebirth, and God is in control of helping people make decisions. It's kinda like the sun and the moon. With out each other, the world would collapse on itself.

Answer 5

i do believe in God. first of all, i think that the Bible and the evolution theory work perfectly together. there's no way that the world could have become what it is without a very powerful will and love behind it. seccond, prayers really work. i'm not saying they're a magical formula or anything, because that's really not how i mean it, but God will almost always answer a prayer, no matter if the answer's yes or no or later, i've seen so in my own life. He puts a definite meaning behind every person's life, and when you come to Him it's like discovering who you are. third, there are too many promises made by Him that have come true- just read the Bible, there's like a million examples all over. somewhere there was even a prediction of planes and helicopters. (sorry i can't remember where, i'm really not good with that type of thing.) lastly, it just feels like your life sort of clicks, even if it doesn't go perfectly, when you let Him into your life, whoever hasn't experienced that peace, it's completely impossible to discribe, but it's the best, most real feeling you'll ever have. I'm only 13 but a lot has happened in my life to convince me that it's the only way anything could ever work.

Answer 6

Absolutely! I've been such an *** for most of my life, I shouldn't be either alive or outside prison!!
Things have happened that can't be explained any other way than divine intervention to keep my sorry self on this planet!
I'm not a big believer in coincidence, so getting all those green-lights when late for work, or when I REALLY need a monetary miracle - it's worked out!!
He's real. I'm certain.

Answer 7

Either there is an ultimate cause for everything, or there is an infinite chasm of causes and results- both are hard to imagine, but either way, one can call the essence of those concepts God. If someone denies the existence of God, it's because they are using an unsophisticated definition of God.

Answer 8

Yes I definatley do believe in God. Ever since I excepted Him into my heart, I see how He works in me every day.
Also, when I look around, everything is too perfect to be an accident or an evolution. I know that He is the one true one, the Creator, the Almighty.
Also, the numerous answered prayers, the ones that seemed imposible- well, nothing is imposible for God, and I saw that.

May God bless you all

Answer 9

oh yes, he is my best friend. I was never in religion, I talked to God since I was little and he has done so much for me in this life, I have had several miracles in my life, I think he gets a bum wrap because people dont know his word and blames everything on him, I also believe God is the mom and The Father is the man and Jesus the son and all are one. So when I say him, it is all of them.God is awesome and kind and loving and merciful and too much to mention. I have been blessed to see great things in my life and experience great things. And it gets better everyday. And I know even when people dont believe in God...that God believes in them...with a love like no other you have ever known...and without knowlege my people perish..he says. God is worth getting to know..

Answer 10

Yes, I do. I believe that there is a greater being out there, and whether He is exactly like the man in the bible is described as, I'm not positive. I do believe he is watching over us, and leads us to our destiny, and can guide us through our life.
