Is God real?

Question

Sure, you can "prove" it with the Bible....so, is the Bible real? I'm not saying it isn't, but how do you KNOW? I say little prayers all day long for all sorts of reasons, but I know - and if God is real, HE knows too - that in the back of my mind, after the "amen" I think "if you're really there." I'm not a kid - I'm 56 - and still I'm wondering. Is there any real proof?

Answer 1

Is visual beauty real to a person born blind?

The blind do not see it, but it is real, nonetheless, even in the absence of evidence.

Is beautiful music real to a person born deaf?

The deaf do not hear it, but it is real nonetheless, even in the absence of evidence.

Is speech real to a person born mute?

The mute cannot speak, but it is real nonetheless, even in the absence of evidence.

There are those who want to be spiritually blind, deaf and mute. They not only want to be spiritually handicapped themselves, they want everyone else to be like them as well.

Just because one does not believe in God does not make God any less real.

Answer 2

I do not actually read the bible, but i do know that there a few good verses and parables that lead good examples. I personally feel that the bible was not meant to be taken literally. As for your question about, is god real? Yes, i do believe in a god, divine existence, higher power.
It is possible that you may have a different path to follow, i do not know what faith or religion that you are, but i do know that you can read and study on different faiths and beliefs and find what works for you.
That is the only way i found my internal peace and faith in a power greater then myself. It may help to keep in mind, that as long as you are seeking, and do not put god in a box, you are growing spiritually.

I hope you find what it is you seek.
Blessings and Peace )O(

Everybody knows that God can do things no one else could do. If you wanted to prove that you were God, you would probably prove it by doing what ordinary mortals cannot do. Perhaps you would fly. Or disappear and reappear in a new location. Or raise someone from the dead. You might lift a truck up in air and juggle it. Perhaps demonstrate invulnerability by diving into bubbling lava and walking out again. You could go to the nearest VA hospital and cause new limbs to grow.

In a secular culture, you might even submit to tests of all kinds so skeptical scientists could measure the results scientifically.

The Christian God was very careful to prove Himself when He had the Bible written. He wanted to make sure you would recognize him as a God when he acted. What he did is predict the future. No person on earth, no medium or psychic, can claim the one hundred percent prediction rate of God. God gave names, dates, and places so we can check out history and verify his work. He even gave us the very words someone would say centuries before the fact!

By taking this route, God would not have to appear and prove himself over and over again to new groups of people.

Now if you wanted everyone to know that you, as God, were going to come as a human being, you would explain what you were like so you would be recognized. You would put in the city of your birth, where you grew up, what kinds of deeds you would do, your temperament, your purpose, even how you would die.

God did all that in the Old Testament. It was all in written form four hundred years before Jesus came. The New Testament gospels follow Jesus and point out some of the places where He fulfilled the prophecies.

Let me give you an amazing example of prophecy.

“Daniel 11, written in the 6th century B.C., gives an amazingly thorough account of Alexander’s Grecian kingdom, divided first into four competing factions after his death. It predicts details of the struggle between the Ptolemy and Seleucid empires for a period of 160 years, right down to the advent of the Roman Empire. That is why the skeptics used to claim that the book of Daniel could not have been written before 164 B.C., but now we have proof of a much earlier writing text.

“The prophet Isaiah (44:28) gave the name of a king not yet born and of a kingdom not yet instituted and of an event that would not take place for another 150 years. He predicted that a king named Cyrus would commission the rebuilding of the temple in Jerusalem. Cyrus did come to the throne in Persia, and in the first year of his reign in 538, he issued a decree that the temple in Jerusalem should be rebuilt. (See 2 Chronicles 36:22-Ezra 1:1-3. This prophecy described in the Bible is confirmed by the discovery of a Babylonian inscription.)

“Daniel actually gave the time when Christ would come into the world and die. Daniel (9:24) predicted that Messiah would be cut off (die) 483 Hebrew years after the issuing of the Persian decree to restore and rebuild Jerusalem. Artaxerxes Longimanus issued that decree on March 5, 444 B.C. (Neh. 2:1-8), granting the Jews permission to rebuild Jerusalem’s city walls. This, too, is confirmed by archeological discoveries. Four hundred eighty-three prophetic years (360 days to a year) and seven days later, Jesus was crucified as predicted. How could a prophet accurately predict the date of Messiah’s death hundreds of years before it took place, unless he was the ‘voice’ of God as he claimed?”

Thanks to the Dead Sea Scrolls found at Qumran, we know with certainty the above prophecies date before the occurrence of actual prophesied events.

He has proven His existence perfectly and wonderfully. The Christian God is the true God.

Answer 5

God announced his resignation back in 1999. He said He had had a good go at it, and acknowledged that He had made some mistakes, for which He was sorry. They gave Him a cake and hung around at one of those bar/grill type places for a few hours afterwards. They had put streamers of crepe paper up. It was a bittersweet affair.

He still goes bowling sometimes with the angels.

Susan:

At your age no one can convince you of anything. Believing is a choice. Not every thing in life has proof. You can not prove tomorrow will come, you simple believe it will. You can not prove so many things in life. A relationship with God is a choice. Spending time in prayer is the first step. Continue with your efforts, read the Bible, find a church that meets your needs. God Bless

Answer 8

Did you watch The History Channel tonight. They featured, "Banned from the Bible, Part II." A scholar, who is also a rabbi, noted that the books of the Bible were picked out from a whole library of ancient writings. It would appear that there were more left out than included. Did God pick out these books? I think it was religious leaders, men, who picked them out.

There was once a philosopher named Spinoza. Einstein believed in his definition of God. It seems very rational to me. Google it and see if you agree. Einstein was accused of being an atheist by sanctimonious morons. There is a chapter in the new book, "Einstein" regarding his religion. Read this if you want to get the opinion of a reasonable and rational man. With gods like the one in the bible, who needs the devil?
