What makes you believe God is real?

Question

Makeushiver · Accepted Answer

You are mixing two alien concepts there. Real is often a matter of empirical or tangible proof. Belief is just that, belief, It is a thought or maybe sometimes a faith that things are such that proof is not required.

Nothing. I don't believe. It's possible but there's no evidence.

jennifer_bloom · Answer

There are multiple things. The strongest one for me now, is that the bible always turns out to be true. But I believed before I saw regular evidence that God was real.

First of all look around you look at everything on this planet and how it is made it's made with precision I'm talking about us and animals and trees and rocks and bushes everything it is made with such precision it's just unbelievable the delicate fine details things that we have inside of us that all have to work together to make us who
We are.

And then me as a person is a human being I don't know how I know things it just come to me when I ask I get an answer and then another answer and another answer it's like a puzzle that just starts putting itself together in front of me

Then there is this thing called Bible code it's all written in code over 3,000 years ago

You're in this book everybody is in this book it will tell your life story I mean your life story in detail how would know somebody know this 3,000 years ago.

It also breaks it down to where in this genetic code it tells the name of God . And Jesus YHWH is God's name. And Jesus name is Yeshua

And when you break this code down our DNA is signed. . By God himself and the letters break down to say God within so he's telling us all that we are God.. . And if you think about it if God is within which I believe he is then you want to be the best person you can possibly be with no matter what it is you do or say or act.

Like I said we were all given a gift when we were born and that gift is choice we get to choose who we want to be in life by the things we say and do and if you cannot be the best you can be then you hold yourself back..

I have never read the Bible but there's one thing I believe it says inside of it and that is become one with self one with others and one with this universe it's like we are all a big puzzle and we are all supposed to come together.

But I mean just so many things come to me and the other thing is to have faith to believe in something you cannot see there's so many people that cannot do that I don't understand why but I have faith I believe there is a God I believe in myself I believe in you. . I used to be so lost because of all the things that I believe in I believe in energy I believe in the power of energy and what we do with it what can be done with it and all these other things and people always said oh you're crazy you're crazy this that blah blah blah... And then one day I was watching YouTube you should check this out there's a guy by the name of Greg Braden... I was watching him and he started talking about all these things that I have believed in for years and years and years and all of a sudden I just had goosebumps all over my whole body and he's a scientist and now they are proving all this stuff that I have believed in that has come to me out of nowhere and that I have preached the people for so long and to hear somebody else actually talking about it and it making more sense to me even then because it's exactly the way that I felt it or seen it or heard it in some cases even deeper than what he goes to say but look him up.

And you will not believe the amount of evidence that he has as a scientist that God is real

The fact that I can doubt his existence, the fact harm can come to anyone, the fact the Serpent even exists, etc. To be the Christian "God," you must be omnipotent, all powerful, and by nature altruistic.

So you're telling me the biblical God, despite literally creating us in his image (so by nature, we're supposed to be altruistic), still somehow had it slip his mind that we can even be corrupted by anything despite him being perfect? Perfection, like God is supposed to be, leaves no room for error. Also, if God created the world and everything in it, that means the Serpent is his creation, which means he outright made an evil being. No, this makes zero sense, and even my Protestant Professor who is a pastor and teaches at a university tells me it's the one thing he's found hard to reconcile.

The real reason is that the Bible we know today is a product of centuries of cultural literary works encountering changes in the Jewish, and then eventually Christian missionary political events. The Torah and the Bible were never divinely inspired works, they were always creations of people who told stories, and tried to come up with explanations of how their world worked in concurrence with their current societal beliefs. Even "God" himself is a result of this, as originally he was just one deity in a pantheon of Median/Edom/Canaanite gods, though if I remember right he was the one heading it (kind of like Zeus). This is the actual "historical" God we're talking about, he himself was a part of cultural exchange and evolution.

Well besides the fact that every person on earth knows there is and can feel there is in the very fabric of their inner being. The Question should be which God is the correct God and How do you know that is the right one.

For me that question is also easy. The God of the Bible the Judo Christian God. This is the 1 and only true God and the Reason it is because of this.

Only God can declare the End from the Beginning. Meaning only God knows the Future. If you look at it this way. Imagine your at a parade well as the parade goes by you see who's right in front of you but you can't see the end or the beginning of the parade. You know what happened once it passed you but you still can't see the future.

Well God is in a Helicopter above the Parade and can see the Beginning, the Middle, and the End all at once. Ok so back to my point. The Judo Christian God has declared through Prophecy time and time again over the last 5000 years of Human History with Pin point accuracy. Who can do that alone God.

So that is How you know God is Real and who the Right God is. And an added bonus. The Christian God is the only God in History who dies for all mankind. All the other Gods make you die for them.

Simple extrapolation. If you look at the sheer odds how could you not believe in intelligent design? I mean scientists use mathmatics to prove all thier theories then stop at mathmatics to prove God's existence? Science is repeatedly proving God's existence but it's man's arrogance that prevents him from taking that final leap of faith. This video is what I'm talking about.

Science concludes dark matter exists because galaxies will fly apart without the existence of dark matter proven time and time again in computer simulations. But we've never actually seen dark matter. Einstein theorized the existence of black holes and mathmatics proved it long before gravatational lensing proved the existence of the warping of spacetime caused by massive gravity from black holes. So you see science takes that leap of faith repeatedly with everything BUT God.

D_Bone_Steak · Answer

Because I cannot define God. Therefore I do not understand God.

I could make attempts, but I don't even understand the shit in space. For all I know, our planets are the atoms of something much larger, like atoms are to the matter that we have in front of us.

So I recognize the fact that I am retarded and choose to be agnostic.

BetaBucks · Answer

We exist, so we were created. If the big bang created us, then the big bang is god. If Vishnu or Zeus (I don't think either were called our creators, just making a point) created us, then they are god. God is a fact. A humanoid deity, as described by a religion, is not.

Sonorous · Answer

I do not believe the Gods that people worship are real. Without a brain to imagine, there is no concept of their Gods. Without human hands to create them, there are no books that contain "proof" of God.

I "believed" when I was a kid. I "believed" because I was taught it as truth when my cortex wasn't developed well enough for me to logically refute the claims.

Dargil · Answer

The evidence of a  Creator  is all around us. If there is a  Created,  there is a  Creator.  It didn't happen by itself.

meaninglesslife · Answer

Nothing. God is not real... I mean, not tangible or concrete but God is real in the Santa Claus or Easter Bunny way (real TO YOU). God is only one in a very long line of imaginary deities conjured by societies throughout history to make sense of a brutal, scary, and unfair world.

strateguy632 · Answer

God is a logical necessity.

In simple terms we see parents and children who needed parents.

therefore those parents needed parents repeated... therefore must be a "starter" that was spiritual not physical.
