He is very real and he is a personal God. He loves us and answers our prayers and wants us to return to Him.
I am asking your opinion because I am shocked by the number of people on this site that have turned away from Jesus.
Your thoughts?

Yea there is a God, but Yeshua/Jesus is not God and was never meant to be worshiped as such. And God in the manner that man thinks is a God of their own mind because its based on allegorical scriptures. In fact what they perceive as God in this world is more so impersonal laws/forces. So I believe In "God" just not in the manner that God-central literalist do. My thoughts on "God" or that aspect which is the ONE or WHOLE/fullness, has absolutely nothing to do with anything that is written or biblical.
At the baptism narrative in its historically accurate to what the scriptures said pre-4th century was, "Thou art my son, today have I begotten." This is proven by any Christian writing that the church produced pre-4th century.

I've asked a few questions hoping to see some good answers. Nothing. Well I say that many people get the wrong idea of God and the bible because of there lack of interest in him. I say he does exist. He changed my life and made me realize life with him is good! I stand behind him all the way.

Are you really shocked? That seems strange to me. Have you been living in isolation somewhere? LOL!
Yes, of course there is a God and He/She is very real and personal. But you need to take a world view...not everyone reaches God in the same way. People, cultures, places and teachings differ around the world.... Blessings!

first of all, i'm on God's section. all of us could be, for he created each and everything and planned each and everything. He grew to become into advantageous adequate to not end the international whilst Eve and Adam sinned, for God knew that there will be others who will stick to Him. 2d, all of us could study the Bible and learn it, and obey it. 0.33, in case you study the Bible, you're able to comprehend that there is not any purgatory, and in elementary terms one hell. Fourth, Hell isn't in elementary terms dying for in case you study Matthew, it fairly is going to say hell is the place, "you would be grinding and gnashing of tooth..." 5th, while you're in hell, you will stay there perpetually. 6th, you're fairly a ways remote from God, yet he nevertheless has a heart, a loving heart. seventh, Be waiting, pray, study the Bible, and be obedient, so whilst Jesus comes, you will flow to Heaven. BTW, the Bible is written via adult males who have been followers of God. God instructed them the assumption of what to place in writing. this means that God is the widespread author of the Bible.

Yes,say Hindu scriptures.
Who is God? Where is God? How can I come to know God?"
God has no names, but all names are the names of God. Whether you call Him this or that, He remains Who He is. But in our tradition we call God by the loving name Siva, which is only one of His 1,008 traditional names. Supreme God Siva is both within us and outside of us. Even desire, the fulfillment of desire, the joy, the pain, the sorrow, birth and death -- this is all Siva, nothing but Siva. This is hard to believe for the unenlightened individual who cannot see how a good, kind and loving God could create pain and sorrow. Actually, we find that Siva did not -- not in the sense that is commonly thought. God gave the law of karma, decreeing that each energy sent into motion returns with equal force.
In looking closely at this natural law, we can see that we create our own joy, our own pain, our own sorrow and our own release from sorrow. Yet we could not even do this except for the power and existence of our loving Lord. It takes much meditation to find God Siva in all things, through all things. In this striving -- as in perfecting any art or science -- regular daily disciplines must be faithfully adhered to.
Siva is the immanent personal Lord, and He is transcendent Reality. Siva is a God of love, boundless love. He loves each and every one. Each soul is created by Him and guided by Him through life. God Siva is everywhere. There is no place where Siva is not. He is in you. He is in this temple. He is in the trees. He is in the sky, in the clouds, in the planets. He is the galaxies swirling in space and the space between galaxies, too. He is the universe. His cosmic dance of creation, preservation and dissolution is happening this very moment in every atom of the universe. God Siva is, and is in all things. He permeates all things. He is immanent, with a beautiful form, a human-like form which can actually be seen and has been seen by many people in visions. He is also transcendent, beyond time, cause and space.
That is almost too much for the mind to comprehend, isn't it? Therefore, we have to meditate on these things. God Siva is so close to us. Where does He live? In the Third World. And in this form He can talk and think and love and receive our prayers and guide our karma. He commands vast numbers of devas who go forth to do His will all over the world, all over the galaxy, throughout the universe. These are matters told to us by the rishis; and we have discovered them in our own meditations. So always worship this great God. Never fear Him. He is the Self of your self. He is closer than your own breath. His nature is love, and if you worship Him with devotion you will know love and be loving toward others. Devotees of God Siva love everyone.
This is how God Siva can be seen everywhere and in everyone. He is there as the Soul of each soul. You can open your inner eye and see Him in others, see Him in the world as the world. Little by little, discipline yourself to meditate at the same time each day. Meditate, discover the silent center of yourself, then go deep within, to the core of your real Being. Slowly the purity comes. Slowly the awakening comes.

Hi John D...
I'll agree with you on this one...there is a God, he is real, he loves us, he answers our prayers and he wants nothing more than for us to return to him.
On the other hand, I'm not shocked by the number of people that have turned away from Jesus...or more accurately, I'm not shocked at the number of people that have heard of Jesus and reject him. Christianity is, unfortunately, one of the most abused beliefs in the world. Virtually every person that was raised in a "Christian" household (Catholic, Baptist, Methodist, Church of Christ, whatever) was fed all sorts of misinformation about the nature of God, about who Jesus was, and about what it means to "follow Christ" (to be a "Christian"). It all too many cases, the church itself becomes a barrier between God and people that would describe themselves as a Christian...but they aren't following Jesus, they are following the church. It is hardly surprising that people who were never really given the opportunity to know Jesus would turn away from a church (and a system of beliefs) that didn't do anything for them.
...and it isn't surprising that God would have an enemy that would do everything in his power to keep us separated from God. Would this enemy bother going after people that were already separated from God...no, he would focus on those that were following God's instructions. How many people do you know that are as strong as Job...who can maintain their faith in God in the face of so much suffering? Unfortunately, far too many of us are weak...the trials of this life can easily undermine our faith.
...and don't forget the wonderful influence of education that teaches people to rely on their own understanding and to question and doubt anything that can't be empirically explained. I spent over 20 years getting an education and another 20 working in education...the attacks on faith I've experienced and witnessed throughout my life are sometimes overwhelming and it is pretty easy for even a strong believer to lose his or her faith in this environment!
