Answer 1

who cares what your teacher says, you dont have to listen to something that confuses you.

God is an idea in our heads.

Answer 2

This how God explained it to me.


I am the ocean, you are the raindrops. We are the same. You raindrops, because of your similar size and location, see yourselves as separate, as units, as individuals. This perception of your selves has been your only reality since you were born in the clouds. You have no other perspective of your selves. As you fall through your short lives here, you see the ocean far below. On a certain level you understand that it and you are one and the same. You envy its magnificence. The thought comes,” I am water too, am I not also part of this magnificence?” Then you realize that you are but an insignificant raindrop. You can only look at that distant ocean in awe. The ocean with its timeless knowledge sees you quite differently. It sees you for what you really are. Its most precious children, bravely returning home to share the experience that ocean as a whole could never have experienced. The ocean has nothing but love for you. Because it understands that it is you, and that you are it. It knows only truth. Until the moment you reunite you can only speculate. The ocean's love for you is unconditional. It holds no foolish thought of punishing you for not falling quite right. It only waits with great patience for your homecoming.

The tiny collisions you had with the other drops on the way down, at the time seemed so significant. Often you feared that if you mingled with them too long you might get to close and in the process even lose your identity. All this because you understood your true identity not! You are ocean, you always were ocean, you always will be ocean. How you currently perceive yourself raindrop, snow flake, puddle, stream, River, or lake matters not. This is all illusion, only perception. You are ocean, you are spirit. You and I are one; we are the All That Is

Just to help you out personally: http://www.geocities.com/amkch1

Of course God exists! How else would everything and everyone be here? They had to have been created, and so there has to be a Creator!!! No one can change my belief in that, teacher or no!

How is she confusing you? God is NOT a god of confusion!


For those who take your brain for granted consider how perfectly it works! Or insects, like bees for example. How complex their dance of food is! These ALL have complex minds... They couldn't have just "evolved" from an amoeba and transformed into whatever... I just can't see that... it's NOT logical! If you were to study History, you would see that God has had HIS hand in EVERYTHING! He Had to!!!

Then, READ His Word! Much of what is happenening today was explaned thousands of years ago! Only God could have done that!!!

If YOU have faith, don't let your teacher confound it with her/his pesimism! Stand on your faith in Him! Even the astronauts have admitted that there IS a GOD!!!

Good lucK! If I were you,. I'd pray for that teacher! :)
Good luck!

Let me tell you a true story. An electrician went to a church to do some repairs. The electrician asked the priest, "how do you know that God is real when you can't see Him?" The priest showed the electrician the open wirings on the floor and ask the electrician to touch it. The electrician refused and the priest ask why. The electrician said, "I'm gonna get electrocuted". "How do you know? Can you see the electrical current?" asked the Priest. The electrician answered. "I don't I just know". The the priest smiled at the electrician and said, "Same here my child, I don't see God, but I just know He's real".

You want to know God without faith. Remember when you're just a small kid and probably there are times when it is dark in your bedroom and there is a storm outside. The thunder and lightning roaring, you are probably scared back then and don't want to sleep because you think and believe there is something to be afraid of even though you don't know what it is and moreover didn't even know what it look like but still you're afraid. Same it is with God, you never see Him, don't even know what He really look like except what you see on TV. But that's just the way it is, we just accept and believe there must be that God out there somewhere, someplace we will go when we die. Maybe in a way, People have created God in there mind through generation after generation. From stories being told one mouth to another. But despite all this, people believe in the existence of that one true being. Is it faith? It could be anything but they don't know what to call it. So to simply explain that believing without knowing or seeing , they invented the word - FAITH. What do you have to lose if you believe in GOD? Nothing, there's no price into it. But what if HE IS REAL? Imagine what you have to gain for believing for free. From nothing to something. With nothing to everything. It is your choice. Do you want to BELIEVE? That decision is yours to decide.

Answer 5

God springs forth from the primitive limbic system of your brain, the last remnants of your reptillion past. The area where our raw emotions reside, including the irrational belief systems.

The 'religious' experience is triggered by deep depression, starvation, near death, or other highly charged situations. The 'born-again' christian phenomena has a scientific basis....yes, your limbic system. Why has man evolved this mechanism you might ask? Simple...it was a survival mechanism of our cave man ancestors to cope with a hostile and unknown universe.

The cerebral cortex is a more recent development. Here is where our rational and logical thought processes take place. It is here that the atheists have found their basis in reality.

In reality, there is no sentient, omnipresent, omnipotent supernatural being or force....therefore all the inequities and misery of the world will always persist, no matter how hard some try to get that limbic brain of ours to work...sorry

Answer 6

Perhaps this will help you: http://www.grail-uk.net/index.php?page=2357

An extract from it is following:

....if we wish to attain the “certain knowledge” of God solely with the possibilities of our intellect. A search for irrefutable evidence by scientific research with rational conclusions will definitely yield no result, because, to put it mundanely, the “object” of investigation lies beyond what the intellect can comprehend. One cannot scoop water with a sieve, it is the wrong tool. The big question now is whether we humans have a better tool at our disposal to use in recognising or at least having a sensing of God.

From an all-embracing perspective there is no doubt that our intellect is not what truly distinguishes us as human beings. There are more important, nonmaterial qualities of being human: our ability to perceive intuitively, to experience life and for instance to love someone, our consciousness of values, artistic striving and much more. Can we therefore escape the stalemate and come to recognition of God, which indeed may not be proved, but nevertheless can be experienced?......

Answer 7

Just as Roman and Greek parents told their children of these many gods. Western parents tell their children of a god. These are believed by immature minds who are dependent on adults for care and who are often in the role of implementing consequences or punishments.

Then we move on to social systems where people tend to dislike being different and are happy to conform regardless of how much that information does not stand up to scrutiny.

I vote for the Roman gods. Zeus will get you if you disagree.

It is a simple two part question: who told you about god(s)? Why did you believe them?

On a larger scale, if a parent tells a child that another race is inferior, we have the same process of an immature mind believing what it is told.

Answer 8

Perhaps I should not do this, but I will give you this much, GOD is GOD, he is the Great "I AM", I could speak upon thee words that would in this concrete hard world, show thee proof that GOD is GOD, but if I were to do that, I would do you a great dis-service, for what GOD requires from all who have the knowledge of Self, he requires that you abandon thy self, for it is a stolen state of being, it was wrongfully given to man when Eve did eat of the apple of the tree of Knowledge , we were meant to exist in that twilight state of being, this state of being would have allowed us to exist here in the world and yet commune with our creator flawlessly, however now we can't do that, so what GOD requires from us, is the very thing that Knowledge of self needs inorder to exist, you must shun Self knowledge and knowledge of your present dimension, you must love and come to know GOD with that part of Man he intended us to speak to him with,which is FAITH, so you see it is a Catch"22", kinda circular but very real, you can't see GOD with the knowledge we stole from the Garden, but we won't give it back inorder to see him.
We ask all the smart questions and use ideals such as Evolution to explain it all away, when we use our minds to explian us to us, we weaken Faith, when we Abandon the taste of the apple from our mouths and repent our sins , we loose concern for this world and see him more clearly, so when it comes to answering the question about our GOD, I can only answer your question with a Question, "Which Came first? The Chicken or the Egg?"

Answer 9

People who have faith in God believe there is something greater then them. That there is more to life then birth and death. That evolution is not the answer to the existence of man.

It can't be explained logically. It's faith.

Answer 10

My friend, there are many things that can't be proved logically, But for God if U r looking for logic. there isn't any one better to answer the question than yourself. Observe and Think. this is for what the man was made for.... One can understand what God is, but he can't describe it.
