Christians, who is this God?

Question

I left Christianity a year ago (meaning that I don't believe in your Jesus and Holy Spirit) but I still believe in God.

In your eyes, who is this God that I believe in? Is he your God too? I'm just curious about what you think.

So...Jake, from your statement you would also say that Jews are serving a different God? How can you say this being that your Jesus followed the Jewish God?

I'm sorry, I shouldn't say "Jewish God". I meant to say "the God of the Jews".

Let me get this straight, you have tangled it up wow you Christians...

According to you, I follow a "different God" because I don't believe in Jesus and the Holy Spirit. Jews also don't believe in these entities so that automatically makes their God different than yours. Your God is Jesus yet Jesus' God is the God of the Jews. See what you have done? Untangle this mess...I can't understand Christianity which is why I left it.

Thanks lilmissy, dawn, and mim! :)

Answer 1

just stay away from the mormons they got there own god

Answer 2

Well you don't believe in the same God I do. The Almighty God, the Creator of all things, The beginning and end to all things. Is the God of the Holy Bible. The Creator God of the Holy Bible is God in three parts, He is God the Holy Father, (The Creator) He is God the Son (Jesus Christ, the Blessed Redeemer), and He is God the Holy Spirit (God in Spirit form, He was The Promise Of the Father that Jesus spoke of right before his Ascension).
So In order to believe in God of the Holy Bible you have to believe that God is one in three Deity forms.
That is the God I believe in.
If you don't believe that God is in three parts then you don't believe in the Same God I do.
Here is my question? Why would anyone think that God, The Almighty God, should or would have to be limited in anything, weather its pertaining to how many forms he choses to take on or in the process pertaining to the way he guides and directs his creation. He is still in Control and is not limited to anything, he is all knowing.
So for one to believe in the God of the Bible they also have to believe everything written in the Bible.

You specify Christians in your question, but in reality you are asking everyone who has a religious belief in a supreme being, God of any flavor, as opposed to those of us who have serious doubts about the whole religion thing anyway, or are atheist. My problem with the God thing is exactly the same as yours, if there IS a God, then which religion worships the ONE and ONLY true God? If one religion is RIGHT, that means ALL of the others are absolutely WRONG. Or maybe, consider this, that there IS a one true God but without any organized religious following? Which means to me that NO religion is the right one! Long ago, I left the whole "church" thing (any organized religion) because people kept on trying to cram their particular dogma down my throat as being the one and only true faith. Oh, really? Every version of God in every religious faith is cruel and vindictive. Every religion denies any and all other religions as non-believers and thus, are DOOMED, DOOMED, DOOMED for all eternity to suffer! People have actually told that they feel sorrow for me because I am not of their faith, because I will suffer for eternity and then they try to convert me to their faith. I have people coming to my front door who want to convert me to their faith. I have friends who are atheist. Who is RIGHT? Any God who would condemn any soul for eternity for a simple mistake (which even God admits all of us human beings do from time to time. There can't be redemption without mistakes.) of choosing the wrong organized religion to follow, is not a God I would want to follow anyway. Sooner or later, we all will find out the answer at the moment when we die and leave this vale of tears called life. Personally, I'm not losing any sleep over whether your God or my God or their God or NO God is right. I'm leaning in the direction of NO God is the right God for me... In the meantime, I'll worship at the altar of the beer Gods and drink a microbrew or three to your health. Zen is actually looking pretty good to me as a matter of fact. I like the idea of being one with the universe eventually. And if when I die, and I find I do go to Hell just because I doubt that God exists (in some religions I would be termed heretic and condemned for doubting the wisdom of God), then I will know I am right that God is indeed vengeful and cruel, but then the kicker, no redemption even though I will then be a true believer in the real one and only true God... Still, being one with the universe is really quite an attractive outcome...

And THAT, as they say, is what I think...

Answer 4

If you don't believe in Jesus or the Holy Spirit, then your God is not the same as my God. You created a fictional story only believing in what you wanted and scrapping what you didn't want to.

Answer 5

This is a tough one!

I think you do believe in God, but your belief is in error, because God, by His very nature is triune. He is three Persons in one. He is Father, Son (Jesus) and Holy Spirit. So you may truly believe in God (i.e., a higher power), but your belief is incorrect or, rather, incomplete.

I would try to explain this triune God, however the greatest theologians on earth can't do so because it is a great mystery which cannot be fathomed by a mere human.

The way I can understand it (a little) is this way:

Think of yourself. You are only one person. However, in that one person, you can be several persons - you are a daughter, you may be a wife, you may be a sibling. The love you have for your mother and/or father is a very different love than that which you would have for your husband. Your responsibilities to your sibling are very different than your responsibilities to your mother or husband. Your father's image of you (e.g., my princess) may be very different than your brother's image of you (e.g., pest). You get the idea? You are one person, but with distinct differences.

With God, we call that Creator-God: Father.

The Word spoken by the Father, the Word which emanates from the Father, the Word which the prophets spoke ("The Word of the Lord came to me...") is also God who wanted to be one with His people and so stooped to take on human flesh and be born as one of us: Jesus.

The very Spirit of God which, if we ask, He will give to us to live in our hearts -- still, again, God, we call the Holy Spirit.

So, I think, rather than ask us, you must ask yourself: "Do I really believe in God?"

Answer 6

If you knew God, you'd know Jesus and the Holy Spirit. Jesus was none other than God in the flesh because God wanted to walk among us and He will rule and reign with us shortly for 1000 years.

Without Jesus and the Cross of Calvary, you will not make it to Father God. If you do not believe in Jesus, you have no hope for eternal life with God. God's Word said it, not me. The wages of sin is death. And without Christ your sins are not forgiven. It is Christ who took away the sins of the world. It is Christ and Christ only that you must believe in. God and Christ are One.

The only righteousness in us is Christ Jesus. Without Christ, we have no righteousness. We must accept Jesus. It is the free gift from God.

Answer 7

If you believe in one God, an almighty God- He who created all that is before you- then you believe in the same God I do. We just believe in different traits about Him.

Answer 8

God is the only God I do not think you know a different one.

Answer 9

Not in my eyes..... But According to HIS WORD....!

(Isaiah 55:6-to-11) Seek ye the LORD while he may be found, call ye upon him while he is near:

(Isa 55:7) Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the LORD, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon.

(Isa 55:8) For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the LORD.

(Isa 55:9) For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.

(Isa 55:10) For as the rain cometh down, and the snow from heaven, and returneth not thither, but watereth the earth, and maketh it bring forth and bud, that it may give seed to the sower, and bread to the eater:

(Isa 55:11) So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.

AND.... May I add....?

YOU... left Only what you Thought.... was Christianity !

YOU.... Only Left.... RELIGION!

Do YOU.... Really want to .... FIND...." GOD ? "

(Jeremiah 29:11-12-13) For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.

(Jer 29:12) Then shall ye call upon me, and ye shall go and pray unto me, and I will hearken unto you.

(Jer 29:13) And ye shall seek me, = and find me, = = when ye shall search for me = = with all your heart.

Thanks for Asking ! RR
