All I can tell you is that when God shows up in your life , you will know Him. Often that doesn't happen until one reaches the point of desparation, depair, or finally realizes that self reliance is a myth.

First was the fire, the sun, and anything that the men couldn't understand !Basically we have the necessity to believe in something! Atheism is the child of knowledge , religion is the child of superstition

What does man have to offer us, but no future, lies, deceit,anger,hatred for one another, a divided world and no solutions for mankinds demise. At least we have hope in God, man cant offer hope to anyone, they have failed. all we have is our God left , Religion, also has failed mankind, But God wont fail us

I do not believe embarassing would be even close to how one would feel on that day? The bible says that every knee shall bow and every tongue will confess that God is God.

"Man created God in his image: intolerant, sexist, homophobic and violent."

John 3; 16-21 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. 17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. 18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. 19 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. 20 For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. 21 But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.
Romans 8; 1-2 There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. 2 For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death.
Romans 10; 9-11 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. 10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. 11 For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed.

I fill up with God's love and I can share the love I feel with other people and live a very satisfying life.

Great Question!` I was in big trouble with no way out. I was contemplating suicide. So I prayed, "God, if you exist, please help me, because I don't know what to do." He did show me a way out. It wasn't easy, but at least it was a way out. I've been in several similar situations over the last 30 years and I personally know other people who have prayed and survived. Their word is always..it was a miracle. My personal experience leads me to believe there is a God, that He loves us very much, that I am an unworthy creature, and He is a worthy, powerful Creator, Scientist, Artist, Savior, Redeemer, Sustainer, Guide, and giver of Eternal Life. (quantity = forever; quality = amazing)

Know I listen to him daily, moment by moment. He talks to me in a "little inner voice". I talk back to him with questions, complaints, thanksgivings. WHAT AN ADVENTURE! I truly feel sorry for folks who don't believe in God.

By the Grace of God we go. Faith

Because I have read my bible many times and I just do and it is my right to do so.

I have a real problem with all this God stuff (capital G because I am well mannered) Adam and Eve sinned so we are told so why do animals that never ate the apple tomato or what ever suffer cancer and all the other diseases. Why does a all loving all caring being allow children to suffer why the floods etc that kill birds and animals. Storms that blow down trees etc etc etc what crime have they committed To top it off we are told of this terrible Satan well who made him ? if God is all powerful why not give Satan the flick? Get rid of him and his sinners or is God like our current upholders of the law and gives Satan a slap on the wrist. Dont tell me Satan was an angel cast out of heaven for sinning when the "original sin " was A&E either way the bible got it wrong . You cant have original sin twice.I have no axe to grind if people find solace in beleiving in God but more attrocities have been carried out in the name of religion than for any other reason. Whos right and whos wrong? Nobody.

we are an infinite consciousness living in a perception of reality, governed by the rulers who create and manufacture all that exists including religion

I always wondered why people don't believe in GOD.You talk about him all the time.The oldest book in history of mankind the HOLY BIBLE tells you all about him.You know more about his ancestory than your own.You take money with his name on it you use his name in vain all the time.When you get in a car wreck and you're seriously hurt about to die.That is when you cry out oh GOD please help me don't let me die.You have a right to belive what you want.I am a christian and i have that same right too.GOD BLESS AMERICA WE SURELY NEED IT DON

Because everyone says you are suppose too.

I know their is a God because I was their to hear 4 new born babies cry and witness the miracle of birth. I watched trees grow and change from season to season. I stand on the beach and watch the wave hit the shore and the sky goes on for ever. I feel the pressure of the world released when I whisper a soft prayer. I believe a church can be any where you are as long as you talk with your higher power. I believe, we all believe but don't want to be the blunt of jokes, so we will not let ourselves be know as a beliver. We must all die sooner or later, the closer we get the more we believe. When death knock at your door, you must answer. Beliver or not, why take a chance? That's not preaching just the opinion of a mother of 4, grand mother of 8 who has lived both-- not beliveing and beliveing. Only you can read his story and find the answer to your questions.

I can feel God All around me. I see his work, and it is so good. But there is also evil in this world, and I know one day God will wipe the tears from our eyes and it will be gone. God is hope, and he is alive and working in his own way. We just have to wait to hear his calls.

If you are asking you are seeking, I hope you find God, I hope to never loose him ever!

God can't fail you?????? I bet the parent's of the thousands of dying or dead children (disease, starvation, etc.) in Haiti, Darfur, etc. who were deeply religious & prayed for the lives of their children would wonder if that is true. Whenever there's an accident or tragedy that's taken some lives but not all of them, the survivors (or their families) always say it was God that spared their lives. But many of those who died believed in that same God - some were children. So I guess that God chose to not save them but decided instead to save somebody else? If somebody dies they say "It's God's will". If somebody survives they say "God saved me". But the saved seem to forget all those who's lives were not saved by God - and many of them were far more deserving to be saved than those who were. I always have to laugh when somebody wins something like Miss America (a crock if ever there was one) & they say it was God's will - or the lottery. Good grief. Have you considered that only humans & cats & dogs are the only species that serves no purpose on this planet? It's true - every other species serves at minimum the purpose of eat or be eaten - survival of the fittest. You are born & then you die & God has nothing at all to do with any of it.

when you know everything are jokes.

i dont i think its the biggest money makeing schem in the world

Man will always seek a deity or force higher than his understanding, religion is not manufactured or established by God. When mankind can not do things beyond his ability he seeks strength both physical and spiritually from a source beyond himself. Time has proven such facts that all people really want order in their lives, so there is a need for authority, people pick and choose by free will who they want to establish and set moral values for them. The best documents throughout time wins this battle year after year, because disorder is unhealthy and kills, civil unrest is a killer outside the boundaries of what people can take on a daily basis. That is why revolutions only last so long months and years because deep inside every human their is compassion for humans much more than anything on Earth. Searching for higher authority and finding it brings peace in the body, soul, and spirit. We need peace, no one wants to be under stress all the time all their lives. The documents written by various people of the past has and always will be challenged from generation to generation but the morals of man has been on trial in the world court since the beginning. You have to organize the world that is why we have so many governments, that is why so many have tried to conquer the world as it is known. Imagining the Egyptians of old, Xerxes, Alexander the Great, Richard the Lion Heart, and many many conquers to the past century waking up finding out that there is no way they ever could rule the world and all the people in it. Stupid idea, why, because we die for freedom to think and be as we would like, you may get us for a season, but you will meet the day when we wake up! So you see its about what are you willing to die for so your time and those you love will continue from generation to generation in freedom in body, soul, and spirit? Again we humans need guidelines because a good bad idea can kill us all!!! That is why we choose to have MORAL VALUES, some have been so frustrated with life they have made themselves their own God because of the imperfections in every process the human mind can come up with. My suggestion is find the one closest to the perfection you are looking for and follow after those attributes and increase your chance of living! I am studying the Holy Bible and I choose to believe in the authority from which it is written and by the authority to whom it is written about! My choice and my life has dramatically changed, search for your peace! You can have it now on Earth while you are living!!!

Somebody said they didn't understand why God would let his son die on a cross. So many people do not realize that God is (three in one) the trinity. He is God the father, He is God the son, He is God the holy spirit. We are earthy human beings. We do not understand the mind of God. God himself died on that cross.

because I feel Him inside my heart , He is with me all the time.

religion,jesus and the bible,thats all everybody rants on about GET A LIFE!

the creator,cready,creaters,to create on earth his will.you had no chorces of comming here on earth.the bible said we are his foot stool on earth.so where we walk depenes on his will, if you believe. like a child.thy are innercent of life,just like adam and eve before thay were decieave by satan. i am not saying the bible word,for word but i am speeking from my heart. in the bible it said every time i try to think good eveval thoughts are present.or every time i try to do good i do bad.why is this so.by beliving in God word i want to believe in my farther that he love me and i trust his word.he said he would be like a lamp upon your or my feet,we are his foot stud on earth.so if you want to meat someone day by day trying to die to sin.by the walk you touck to get here was God timning wecome .the spirit no the Spirit of God.so do you want to control your walk or do you want to let God do the walking for you.

there is God ofcourse...all religions believe in God first...coz we cant deny His presence everywhere... Everything we have is His blessing...

I can feel God All around me. I see his work, and it is so good. But there is also evil in this world, and I know one day God will wipe the tears fromour eyes and it will be gone. God is hope, and he is alive and working in his own way. We just have to wait to hear his calls.

If you are asking you are seeking, I hope you find God, I hope to never loose him ever!

WHAT ARE YOU CUCUMBERa vege : )

Ya...My X-Dad would beat the s^t out of all of us, if he found out Mom took us to church!!!
They divorced when I was 9, so I was CRAP to many people, kids wern't ALLOWED to even talk to me. Unless it was to say something NASTY. My Mom was thought of as a WHORE, when she worked 2-3 jobs to support my Sister & me. My X-Dad played around with his support checks, a few times we were homeless. There wasn't the help for Homeless as there is now...not in the '60's. He was a 'bigwig' in the phone co, but couldn't pay $60.00 a mon. for 2 little girls? Once I went to 'HIS HOUSE'...The house Mom bought with her bussiness, a 'Beauty School', she was made to sell in the divorce. I asked for *OUR, support check, then saw it laying on a table. After he said he mailed it & throwing .57 cents at me, I grabbed it & ran. He yelled 'It's not signed'...it wasn't. WOW!!! were those Chicago winters cold living in the car.
Have another hour to listen to all he did to us? All the time he was a 'GOOD CHURCH GOING PERSON', still is. Hates 'blacks', when my stepmom lived in Gary,Ind. Had a 9lb something 'premie', one stepsister had the others husb. baby, the other was PG with another guys child. But stepmom keeps telling us 'You were raised wrong', WHY were not 'Hippocratle Christins'.
Why do ppl thing there religon is the best, the Mormons hate the Jews, Jews hate 'Jehoves' & on & on.
YOU CAN KEEP THEM ALL!!!! I'LL KEEP THE GOD I KNOW!!!!
