does God exist? I was brought up without formal religion and have never believed in God or had a religion.?

Answer 1

Yes, Gods are man's creations as such, they do exist. I was a Christian most of my life. I found their ideologies to be too dependent on blood and death to be a positive force.

I now acknowledge the Life-Force which exists naturally in the Universe. It has no human agenda or funny stories to rationalize. To learn more about It study the Cosmos and Nature.

Answer 2

The existence of God is the greatest of mysteries. Neither man nor angel can comprehend it. There must be heights and depths in the Infinite that can never be measured by finite. "Canst thou by searching find out God? Canst thou find out the Almighty unto perfection? It is as high as heaven; what canst thou do? deeper than hell; what canst thou know? The measure therfore is longer than the earth and broader than the sea." Job 11:7-9

If there is a God, man can know something about himself, whence he came; something about the world, whence it sprang; something about the universe, why it exists. If there is no God, nothing can be satisfactory known, and all things, whether they exist by fate or chance, are in hopless confusion and darkness.

Philosophers have even admitted that there are "first truths" or "first principles" from which all reasoning must proceed. Among these first truths may be classed our belief of connection between cause and effect. That is belief is entertained by every sane mind is beyond question. Tracing effects and secondary causes as far as possible, we reach the First Cause. Here we stop, for we can go no further. The constitution of the human mind finds its limits at this point. The First Cause is another name for God. All secondary causes are dependent on the First Cause, but the First Cause is absolutely independent.

Romans1:19 Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them.

20For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse.

Concieve the Devine Being as a Spirit, having the same dominion over the invisible universe, in every part of space, as that which our minds posses over every part of our bodies; and then you will percieve, faintly at least, the orgin of that power the indications of which are so visible throughout the universe. God, has only to will the most important changes, and they are instantly accomplished.

He speaks, and it is done; He commands, and it stands fast. God said" let there be light, and there was light". No causes intervene between the volition and the change which ensues, for the will of Deity is itself the effect.

Answer 3

I can tell you Yes, He does exist (which I believe) or I could be like the non-believers or atheists and tell you that He doesn't exist (opinion that I respect).

I think you will find the answer to your question if you look for it with an open mind and heart.... but not in this forum.

Answer 4

If you knew that your Creator exists, would you want to meet Him? That is the crucial question.

Does God exist? You'll never know unless you find that you want to know Him. Most people don't because if we know He exists, then we have over us a judge of our behavior who is always watching and we hate that very idea.

Answer 5

If you think God might exist, my suggestion is to test Him. Seek him out. Read the Bible and question if it is or isn't true. Most of all, pray. If you communicate with God, he will surely answer.

I am a Christian and there are times I test daily or more to see if God is there for me. I rely on him heavily. I hope someday you can too.

Answer 6

sure God exists. I am confident in my self your type are those that easily be convinced as the existence and oneness of God. It is just a matter of time and a little research in some of the religious books, especially the Holy Quran. E.g Surah 41 part 24 of the Noble Quran "Say ( O Muhammad) Do you verily disbelieve in Him who created the Earth in two days?........He placed therein firm mountains from above it, ........in in four days .....

Answer 7

Yes. Look in the mirror. Yes your parents made you, but not without the help of God, he knew what you would look like, he even knew your name before you were born. Also look out your window at everything in which were Created by God.

Answer 8

I think in some sense, yes. God is just a name. I thik God is something that gives you hope and joy when you need it. I dont really think about all the scriptures in the bible, i just believe what i believe. and i dont know about all the things with Jesus, but i do believe that he is a symbol for those who have sacrificed for the better of our world. so i wear a cross. and i sometimes pray.

Answer 9

nope, simply a myth perpetuated by those that would rather deny the scary reality of mortality & instead create a world that sins and good deeds are more than what they are- right here and now. You cannot undo bad, or good. Man is in a poor state, when his behaviour is dictated by a fear of punishment, or hope for reward after death. We should have a principle center, not a religious one. At least the bible is a half-**** book on morals if not religion

Answer 10

there are 6 easy steps...if you want them

How to Believe in God
Six Easy Steps

1. First, you must want to believe in God.
2. Next, understand that believing in God in the absence of evidence is especially noble.
3. Then, realize that the human ability to believe in God in the absence of evidence might itself constitute evidence for the existence of God.
4. Now consider any need for further evidence (both in yourself and in others) to be a form of temptation, spiritually unhealthy, or a corruption of the intellect.
5. Refer to steps 2-4 as acts of “faith.”
6. Return to 2.
