Do you believe in God?

Answer 1

I am God.

Answer 2

Yes, of course I do. I was raised by Free Thinkers and I was told that I could 'attend church or not' as I chose. I became fascinated by the nuns (in habits) who would walk across the busy street near where I lived. I started studying different relgions, was baptized in the United Methodish Church at 16, and eventually 'belonged' to Vedantist (a sub-culture of the Hindu religion), Vietnamese Buddhist, Episcopalian, and am now a Catholic. I have 'studied religion' my whole life, and I still study religion regularly. I hope I learn something until I die ... but I know I am going to Heaven, and I am looking forward to hearing 'the rest of the story' ... I'm now 57. I don't plan on dying until I'm in my 90s or older, though ... looking forward does not mean I'm in a 'rush' to get there, and I still have much to learn in this life!

Answer 3

Yes!

The Christian God was very careful to prove himself when he had the Bible written. He wanted to make sure you would recognize him as God when he set his plan of salvation into effect. What he did is predict the future. No person on earth, no medium or psychic, can claim the accurate prediction rate of God. God gave times, people's names, and place names so we can check out history and verify his work. He even gave us the name of a historical figure centuries before the fact!
Now if you wanted everyone to know that you, as God, was going to appear as a human being, you would explain what you were like so you would be recognized. You would put in the city of your birth, where you grew up, what kinds of deeds you would do, your temperament, your purpose, even how you would die.
God did all that in the Old Testament. It was all in written form four hundred years before Jesus' birth. The New Testament gospels follow Jesus and point out some of the places where He fulfilled the prophecies.
If you haven't been exposed to biblical prophecy, before, let me give you several examples.

Daniel recounts in chapter eleven of his book of having received knowledge of future events. Written in the 6th century B.C., Daniel gives us an accurate description of events winding down to 199-198 B.C. He foresaw Alexander the Great's kingdom split up into four factions. The prophecy predicts details of the conflict between the Ptolemy and Seleucid dynasties. Skeptics cannot believe the account was written before 164 B.C. Unlike Nostradamus' cryptic writings, Daniel chapter eleven describes plain schemes and conquests that are easily followed by the student of history.
Can you name the next president of the United States just two years ahead of time? Can you guess what name a friend will come up with for her new baby barely nine months into the future? No? Well, how about naming a king who will not appear for another 150 years, and name his nation? The prophet Isaiah did just that. In 44:28-45:1 God tells us that Cyrus, king of Persia, will decree regarding Jerusalem, "You shall be built," and regarding the temple, "Your foundation shall be laid." In 2 Chronicles 36:22-Ezra 1:1-3 we find that Cyrus did indeed come to power and called the Jews to return to Israel and rebuild Jerusalem.
Can you predict when the Messiah (God's chosen one) will appear in the world? Daniel 9:24-25 tells us that the Messiah would die 483 Hebrew years after "the going forth of the command to restore and build Jerusalem." Neh. 2:1-8 tells us that King Artaxerxes issued that decree (March 5, 444 B.C.). 483 prophetic years (360 days to a year in the calendar of the ancient world) and seven days later, Jesus the Messiah was crucified.

How could a prophet accurately predict the dismantling of a world empire hundreds of years beforehand? How could a prophet give us the name, nation, and decree over a hundred years prior to the king's birth? How could a man foretell to the year the life and death of Jesus unless he really heard the voice of God? (I can't even predict which shirt I'll wear tomorrow.) These are only a small sample of prophecy in the Bible. One quarter of the Bible is prophecy. Several archaeological discoveries have verified these and many other accounts. God has proven his existence wonderfully.

What Do You Think?

a. Nearly a quarter of the Bible is prophecy. Do you believe that consistent, accurate reporting of facts with names, places, and events hundreds of years in advance demonstrates a God-like intelligence?
b. Most of us have no problem guessing or even gambling on various outcomes. In what ways do the prophecies mentioned above go beyond guessing?
c. The coming of Jesus Christ fulfilled around one hundred prophecies. Another one hundred or so prophecies yet remain regarding his Second Coming. How many prophecies must accurately be accomplished before someone should take God seriously?

Answer 4

Which god? There are so many of them, in all the religions of the world.

As a Wiccan, I certainly believe in our two supreme deities, the Moon Goddess and her lover the Horned God. I love and adore and worship Them, and I believe in Them because I have experienced for myself how They love me and answer my prayers. There are several other pagan deities that I also honor, but most of my worship goes to the Gods of Wicca.
