God reveals himself in various ways. Helen Keller was blind and deaf, but yet when she was finally taught to communicate she was asked if she knew about God and her reply was that she had always known that God existed she just never knew his name until her teacher taught it to her.
Some scientist have looked at the world scientifically and been so amazed at the order in the universe that they started looking for a God that could be responsible for that level of order.
I personally found God when I was on a mission to prove a group of Cultist wrong, and while looking for that evidence I became convinced that God was real even if the Cultist were still wrong.
I even heard one time of a Muslim who had a dream that a Christian missionary would be in town the next day and he should find that missionary , the next day he did, six months later he came to America to attend a Christian University.

That is what I meant to answer when I mentioned Helen Keller, before Ann Sullivan (sp?) started teaching her no one could have told Helen about God, she could not hear anyone tell her about him, and she could not read any book. She just knew which means that God revealed himself to her without help from anyone else.

When I was a child, before I ever opened a bible, I felt the presence of God. I knew Him most of all through the beauty of nature, where I always felt His presence most.
The bible has this interesting verse, "all of creation speaks of the existence of God, that no man has excuse". If there is no civilization, no bible, no speaking, God can still reach a heart merely through what is around us.
Of course, to come to know Jesus is the answer to it all.

purely because of the fact an theory or a convention has been prevalent with the help of Protestantism, does not inevitably make Martin Luther the commencing place of it. there are a number of stuff in Protestantism that did not originate from Martin Luther and that i'm specific he would by no ability embody. the assumption of a private relationship with God in Christianity has greater of an commencing place interior the 2d great Awakening. Which occured approximately 3 hundred years after Martin Luther's existence. i'd choose to make certain your documentation, crediting Martin Luther which such an theory.

Our personal relationship with God is only through His Son, Jesus. He is the advocate for us, the Shepherd, the Savior, the Only Begotten of the Father, the King of Kings, the Bright and Morning Star, the Word made flesh and "no one comes to the Father but BY HIM", says the Bible.
He's the only Way, Truth and Life! He told us, "I and my Father are ONE".

A person does not necessarily has to introduce you to God; the Bible is your best starting point and the most important source of information for this.

No, no one needs to introduce anyone to God to believe, hear, see, and have a personal relationship with Him. It is God who chooses His believers, followers, and worshippers. It is God that comes to you.
In God's perfect timing He will reveal Himself to those He will.
I prayed to God as an 8 year old child with no one ever telling of God, nor did I see a picture of the Image of God before I had done this. My Faith in God has done miraculous fortunes for me in many times of my life.

Other people may help you to see the way, but I think God though the Holy Spirit is revealed to you.

Yes, you go to God through His Son Jesus. No one else could ever do.

the proselyte must be introduced to the imaginary god properly first
what were you thinking?
after that, the leader becomes the guru to the student and later the student has no alternative and becomes teacher
viruses work in this way as well
