Can you imagine being wrong about God?

Answer 1

If Im wrong and there is no God then I lead a clean life doing good and enjoying the words of the bible. My legacy will be children of good morals and integrity. If you are wrong, you will go to hell and be judged for your sins and live in eternal death separated from God.

Answer 2

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 regarding Jesus.

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

Answer 3

Lots of people are wrong about God, and they are convinced that they are the only ones who are right. Everyone has a little part of the truth about God, and no one has the whole truth. But, I do know that the people who are the most convinced that their way is the only right way, are the most wrong of all. I also know that those who think that God is a being who is separate from us, or that we are separate from him, or from each other, are also the most wrong. The truth is that we are all one, and that separation is nothing more than an illusion. We are all parts of God, in the same way that a drop of water is part of the ocean. Our purpose is for each of us to experience whatever we choose to experience, and to eventually (each of us in our own time...and each of us in our own way) come to the remembrance of who and what we really are, and to remember to see the same in all others. *sm*

Answer 4

Yes. How so? Because I used to be wrong about God.
How is this? I was raised with a certain set of beliefs. Then I came to a different conclusion.
Finally after much consideration and research came to what I am confident is correct.
I am sure many others feel confident in their beliefs too.
Peace!

Answer 5

Yes, I can imagine being wrong about God. I remember thinking that He didn't care about me. I thought faith was something we mustered up on our own. I didn't realize that He provides that faith when we humble ourselves and pray. I didn't know that faith might begin as small as a mustard seed, but grows as we trust and depend on Him.

Answer 6

I read this on a bumper sticker on my way to work one morning...

"If you're living your life like there's no God, you better hope you're right."

Yep.... it would certainly suck to be wrong, depending what side of the fence you're living on.

Answer 7

Yup, it's the reason I'm an Atheist. If there is a god, nobody has it right.

Answer 8

NO! there would be no hope. I have hard evidence in my own life that God is there and cares about me personally, so I have no doubt whatsoever!

Answer 9

Sure.

I do not believe that the existence of a god is necessarily required to what I believe.

Answer 10

That would mean that there is a God who is a selfish, uncaring bastard and demands that people worship him or burn eternally in hell.

I suppose that is hypothetically possible, but I would still refuse to worship him on moral grounds.
