Can God himself prove that He exists? Or is it that He just doesn't care to?

Answer 1

God has no need to prove anythimng.
He offer up His Son for us.
It's up to us to accept or reject.

He gives you the choice.

Answer 2

Some would say that the magnificence of creation proves the existence of God. The beauty of a sunset, the mathematical perfection of the forces and constants of the universe, the complexity of DNA and life etc.

"The heavens proclaim the glory of God.
The skies display his craftsmanship.
Day after day they continue to speak;
night after night they make him known.
They speak without a sound or word;
their voice is never heard.
Yet their message has gone throughout the earth, and their words to all the world."
- Psalm 19:1-4

Answer 3

IF god did exist I think he would not care to show himself. After all when has he actually helped people out in need

Answer 4

He proves his existence every day. A hundred reasons can discount the existence of God but there is still one hundred times one hundred thousand reasons that prove that He is true and real. :)

Answer 5

Has God proved himself, then there would have been not a single atheist.

Answer 6

If you are talking about the Jewish/Christian god then, according to their scriptures, he was perfectly willing to do lots of things that gave a clear indication of his existence. However, for no apparent reason, he doesn't do that now.

I've seen Christians try to come up with explanations for the change in God's behavior, but I have yet to hear them say anything that really makes any sense on this subject.

A lot of them will say that God wants us to have faith. However, why in the world would their god find faith to be so important today but not back then? Of course, the Bible talks about people having faith back then, but its hardly difficult to have faith when God is doing rather obvious major miracles every few years.

But I think the real question is "Why would God think faith is important at all?" What is really virtuous about choosing to believe in something that there is no good reason to believe in? What is virtuous about just accepting what someone tells you when its something you can't verify? Why would God be so keen on people deciding to base their entire way of life on an idea that has no apparent validity?

Also, if God really has this weird desire for people to harbor ideas that could very easily be wrong, and to do it for no other reason than because someone said it was true, how exactly does God expect us to determine WHICH ideas are valid and which ones aren't?

There are tons of beliefs available that are mutual exclusive and none of them have a really obvious thing about them that would show that they are the right one to choose. Are we supposed to think that God thinks the idea of choosing randomly and then sticking with it is somehow extremely virtuous? If that is the case, then why do so many religions bad-mouth gambling? How can they expect us to make the big gamble they claim we should make, but not see any worth in other sorts of gambling?

Its painfully obvious that there are no special clues left by God that people can find that would help them choose the correct beliefs. People from every religion say they can feel their god in their lives and they know their god is real.

If believing what you are told is true is such a great virtue, then why should we just go with the first thing someone tells us? If it is so virtuous to do it one time, shouldn't we be doing it every time someone tells us something new and they can't prove it?

Many religions claim that faith is virtuous, but only if it is faith in THEIR religion. Otherwise it is a vice. They don't seem to be capable of understanding that what they are saying is ridiculous and egotistical in the extreme. They seem to think that is perfectly reasonable that we should blindly accept everything they tell us, but refute everything the next proselytizer tells us - despite the fact that neither one of them has any evidence!

Really, there is very little difference between having faith and lying to yourself. Of course, religious people will deny this, but they would HAVE TO if they want to be able to keep on lying to themselves. So, their protests are a forgone conclusion and are completely meaningless.

Is lying to others suppose to be a vice but lying to yourself supposed to be a virtue?

Answer 7

He already proved Himself through His son. He proved Himself to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. He proved Himself to Moses. He proved Himself to Hagar. Before all that He proved Himself to an entire population by drowning them for their evil and unbelief. He will prove Himself to the entire population again when He comes in the clouds. If you want Him to prove Himself to you then you must wait until He is ready to do it.

God deals with us on His terms, not ours.

Answer 8

God proves his existence by things like life, the earth, and miracles. In other words, things explained by science can be used as proof of God, as long as your are ignorant to the science.

Answer 9

I cannot believe you are asking this question!!!
LINCOLN, Neb. - A legislator who filed a lawsuit against God has gotten something he might not have expected: a response. One of two court filings from "God" came Wednesday under otherworldly circumstances, according to John Friend, clerk of the Douglas County District Court in Omaha.
"This one miraculously appeared on the counter. It just all of a sudden was here - poof!" Friend said.
State Sen. Ernie Chambers of Omaha sued God last week, seeking a permanent injunction against the Almighty for making terroristic threats, inspiring fear and causing "widespread death, destruction and terrorization of millions upon millions of the Earth's inhabitants."
Chambers, a self-proclaimed agnostic who often criticizes Christians, said his filing was triggered by a federal lawsuit he considers frivolous. He said he's trying to makes the point that anybody can sue anybody.
Not so, says "God." His response argues that the defendant is immune from some earthly laws and the court lacks jurisdiction.
It adds that blaming God for human oppression and suffering misses an important point.
"I created man and woman with free will and next to the promise of immortal life, free will is my greatest gift to you," according to the response, as read by Friend.
There was no contact information on the filing, although St. Michael the Archangel is listed as a witness, Friend said.
A second response from "God" disputing Chambers' allegations lists a phone number for a Corpus Christi law office. A message left for that office was not immediately returned Thursday.
Attempts to reach Chambers by phone and at his Capitol office Thursday were unsuccessful.

Answer 10

Satan is the symbol of evil on earth.... and the prophecies say that satan will call himself god and he will blind many... so all those who are worshipping "a god" or 'god" are infact working on behalf of the power of evil.
