Does God guide your life through situations and circumstances?

Question

I got invited to two writing groups and neither one was my idea - they both came spontaneously through friends of mine

But being part of those groups has totally changed my current professional life and given me guidance I never expected to find and made me realize what type of literature I want to produce

I also learned more about myself and my relationship with God by addressing the writing prompts they give us each week and I never thought I would

I walked into the group thinking it would be an unfruitful event and got more out of it than any other group I’ve been a part of since finishing school

There are other examples of people I met who altered the direction of my life or altered my life vision or taught me something that has proved useful to me

Yes he does

No he doesn’t

Not sure

I voted yes, because I don't believe in coincidences. But let me ask you a totally honest question. I'm an Agnostic, leaning vaguely spiritual. As a Christian, what is it about having significant things happen in life that you feel the desire to attribute them to god or your faith? Does the emotional impact or the fulfillment you feel change when you try to find meaning in a situation?

If your on the look out for God’s guidance, you will be less likely to miss His guidance when it comes upon you

Yeah. I do believe God gives me signs. Mostly though God pushes me through the hard times and keeps me from giving up on my dreams and myself.

If Jesus took the punishment for our sins, how is it God punishes you? Jesus was punished. He suffered and took our punishment for us. Just like the ancient Israelites, he’ll keep you in the wilderness for as long as necessary until you get your act together

Also those who don’t belong to him are the objects of his wrath. Perhaps you should evaluate your standing with him.

I quit going to church 16 years ago, and now God speaks to me more that I became a Deist and stopped beliving in Jesus, God speaks to me more as a Deist than before when I considered myself a "Born Again" Chrisitan. God was merciful to me when I was a christian, but there is no such thing as a man-god. There is only THE TRUE CREATOR, who I now know as "Chaos".

1) Without God as we think we know him, there would only be chaos.
2) Chaos means anything can happen, because it is a condition not bound by anything outside itself.
3) If anything can happen, there can be an Almighty God of Order
4) An Almighty God of Order can turn Chaos into Order.
5) But Chaos would need to be an Almighty God in order to Create another Almighty God.
6) Therefore God exists as Chaos, and our previous notion of God was wrong.

If our previous, weaker notion of God was wrong, and yet we THOUGHT he answered prayer, then Chaos answers prayer, because Chaos is THE TRUE CREATOR, and a Being that exists in reality is greater than a being that exists only in the mind. So the real God can do ANYTHING our flawed notion of God can do, and more... therefore the real God, Chaos, answers prayer and does not need is to pray perfectly to do so.

B, god does not have a gender, imho, I do feel a spiritual connection with someone who is no longer on the earth plane, but I don't feel there is a higher power, but I do believe there is an energy around that is older than time itself, and has perfect wisdom, and it's good and empowering to connect with this energy,,,

That is not the job of God.

It's your good intentions and positive hope that gives you good experiences. Negative, angry people get what they intend to get - nothing.

I don't think there's a God. So many bad people never get punished and many innocent people are punished. I'll believe in a higher power if I see justice.
