Did you believe in god before you were born and that is why you were born?

Question

In order to be born something has to accidently start the process.

Answer 1

No.

A. You have little or no awareness of your own surroundings before you are born. How can you be aware of God, Who is beyond the mortal realm?

B. There are people who believe in God AND people who don't believe in God. Both have been born. Thus, birth does not depend on belief in God.

C. Why does the beginning of the process have to be accidental? Maybe it's quite deliberate on God's part. Besides, once the process (of life, I think is what you mean) is started, does it matter whether it is an accident or not?

Tangalukas, your comment about low Christian IQs is interesting. How do you suppose that Pope John Paul II learned eight languages, and Pope Benedict learned ten languages, with such low IQs? How did Michelangelo come up with the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel with such a low IQ? How did Shakespeare write so many plays? I'd ask more questions like these, if only I had a higher IQ.

Answer 2

No. Humans and spirit, soul, and body do not exist until conception. Nothing accidentally starts the process of existence. Existence is the result of purposeful conception or cell division. Self awareness may begin during gestation.

God is the creator of all. Only God knows for sure about everything. The creation of human souls is the result of His work. We are out of the loop on the focus of this question.

Answer 3

Before we are born, we do not know anything. But during gestation (the time in the womb) we learn to recognize our mother's voice.

What do you really mean by the word "accidental?"

In order to be born, nothing accidental has to happen. What has to happen is that the baby has spent enough time in the womb to be born, and then physical changes in the mother's body begin to occur, resulting in the baby being born.

Premature babies are born for a variety of reasons,all based on physical reasons, but again, none of them are accidental.

Answer 4

Indeed. Here's a theory. Before we were born we were with God in perfection. As human spirits, we wanted to be better. So God created the Earth and lets us step outside of perfection for 80-90 years, because the only way to become better once you're perfect is to experience imperfection. What you do in imperfection is completely up to you, and once your ride is up you go back.

Answer 5

Wrong.

I know where you're getting at, but even if I believed in god before birth and lost that belief later on, it leaves the people where god is genuinely unknown unaccounted for.

BTW, I don't believe in god, and I think most people who do are friggin nutcases. It's how they argue. I mean, most christians are just downright dumb. I don't see them surviving. It's like you have to have an IQ below 80 to join. Don't get me wrong, my best friend's a theology student. But even he is disgusted by all those religious mentals.

Answer 6

I've never been into the whole God thing, my parents just never forced religion on me though they both come from religious families. My grandmother calls me the devil's child but i'm turning out alright....Anyways, to answer your question, i don't think God had much of anything to do with my birth. He was busy shooting pool with the stork and arguing with Vishnu and Shiva

Answer 7

i was tired of living my life working 18 hours a day working hard labor for only enough money to survive and pay bills. i was on the edge of the cliff, thinking about living a riskier life, a suicidal life one might say. i thought about who might care if i died. first thought was my mom, if i died before her she would be devistated. next were my sisters, they would be okay, they are pretty stronge, it would not devistate or harm their lives. the next and last set of people were my neices and neiphews. not that my dieing would hurt them to much, but i thought about their lives. i decided that i did not want them to have to go through the things that i did and i wanted to do something to help them to live a better life. i thought about their present conditions and the conditions of other children in the world. i noticed that they were already getting into the things that i was at an even younger age than when i had started. i decided i was going to do something to make their lives better, somehow. #1 thought was that i would attack the life of drugs. i would drive fear into drug dealers to make them not sell to children or anyone that they did not know. i would cause many of them to be off the streets. i would get out there like no other ever has. i would devistate the world by the speed that i run for this cause and the amount of people that i would reach in just a short amount of time. but i ran into an obsticle. the police were willing to do a little. that is very little. they were too slow for me. i was in a hury. i wanted to get it done emediately. we all know that drug use and sales has continued to rise, not to decrease. i beleive that the wronge people are in office. we need people who are truely dedicated to this cause and are willing to put everything they have on the line, and to run the race to win. anyhow, at this time is when the spirit of god started guiding me. i started studying all things. i started experimenting with different ideas. it has now been three years into my studies of theologies, religions, sciences, histories, and i must tell you that i am truely disgusted with the ways of this world at this time. we are a very sick and perverted generation. many of those who thing they are doing good are killing people. and many others who say they are christians and stand by and do nothing while many are helled in slavery for the purpose of having people to do cheap labor among other things deceive themselves. they do not understand the first principals of christ........so did i beleive in god before i was born into this new life that i am living.....i say love hit me and drove me to the wisdom of a new way of life, a life lived for a true reason. a life lived for many and for a great purpose. i no longer take up space as a dead object, but am now truely alive and create and live for life.......my first thoughts of living for others promted reason for god or rather many to spend some time on me and to help give my past life a purpose in this new life. past present and future have all now become one, neither stands alone. i could not do what i am doing now without the experiences of my past, and i do this for our future, and i do it now not tomorrow.

Answer 8

Yes, He is my father and I've been thru Hell as a special favor for Him. He promised not to let them crucify ME. Be careful what you ask for, you WILL get it. He never promised that my heart wouldn't shatter like broken mirror or that I wasn't an illusion like a dream of love.

Answer 9
