Does God Exist?

Yeah. I don't know if you're bored or trying to act clever, but I ment of course that I didn't ment that claim about god created god to be serious, not that I never claim something, 'cause everybody does, righteous or not. I also already pointed out that I (and anybody else) can't know for sure and thus have no proof about what god is and what created it him.

 

I can't prove it but I see God

peace

 

another brilliant quote for the archives.

 

Nah.

 

But surely you can present us a description; please, do it.

 

That's the point, it's not something that can be described or proven nor do I say I am right. It's like love, you can't really put it into words but why insult me?
It's not a lack of intellect on my part or that isn't the issue lol
I've just always been able to see and was looking for others
sure, maybe I'm just nutz but thats fun too
peace
God bless

 

I'd say either :

a) You're lying.
b) You're deceived in some way or deceiving yourself.
c) You're schizophrenic.

 

Maryslittlebrat, I am very sorry it sounded rude, but I had no intention to insult you. I’ve thought you experience actual seeing. Anyway, as for me, I am interested in any description of the process you can place here, and, surely, I am perfectly aware of the difficulties of that.

 

You know, some psychiatrists now say that if we treat schizophrenics as the sick, we must treat almost all the other members of humanity as the incurable.

Certainly, there is a question if those psychiatrists are schizophrenics themselves or not

 

Lots of them exist....

 

when you are brainwashed since childhood, you have no choice but to believe. I am sorry for you

 

1 John 4:8 Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love.


1 Corinthians 13
Love
4Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.

Does not delight in evil: God creates an evil being, that lead Adam and Eve astray. God knew this would happen, beforehand, but still did it and punished all mankind with death (mortality), and eternal curses.

Rejoices with the truth: He quite possibly made it impossible to prove he exists, and made a universe that appears to be able to operate, on its own, and an earth that appears billions of years old, then gave man a questioning mind. Then he punishes those who question his existence, for all eternity.

Patience: Adam and Eve, make 1 mistake. God sentences mankind to death (mortality), and curses all involved, forever.

Not easily angered: Within about 1500 years, from man's creation, God is fed up. 1500 years equates to no time, to an eternal being. God wipes out the entire planet, except for one family.

Kind: Wants you to stone to death... rebellious children; those who pick up sticks on Sunday; those who touch Mt. Sinai; those who curse the king; those who commit adultery; women who aren't virgins on their wedding night; women who get raped in the city, but don't yell loud enough; those who take accursed things; those who worship other gods (that he says don't exist); those who preach the religion of other gods (that he says don't exist); those who blaspheme; those who are witches

Always protects: Wants you to beat the law into your children, with a rod.

Not self-seeking: "You shall have no other gods before me."

Does not envy: "For the LORD your God is a consuming fire, a jealous God."

Always trusts: Couldn't trust the old, women, and children, from other cultures. Had them all slaughtered.

Does not boast: "But be sure to fear the LORD and serve him faithfully with all your heart; consider what great things he has done for you."

Not rude: Seriously, if I was sitting down for supper, minding my own business, and just then, the city was destroyed by God, or attacked by the followers of God, I'd think that a little rude.

Always hopes: What does God need to hope for?

Always perseveres: Killed all the baby seals, puppies, and bunnies, on the entire planet, except a few who could fit on a boat.

Not proud: Then the LORD said to Satan, "Have you considered my servant Job? There is no one on earth like him; he is blameless and upright, a man who fears God and shuns evil." ...Run Job Run! God is proud of you!

Keeps no records of wrongs: Yeah, right.

I remember the day when I realized God. A complete sense of love and awareness overwhelming, bringing me to tears. Perhaps I should create a thread describing the experience in full detail sometime

 

Yes, Please do!!!

 

Ok, I will tonight then, Im at work right now but I just got a new home and the internet is getting turned on today, so, I should be able to free some time up and make this thread I have to warn you though, I had read the Bhagavad Gita before this happened but I didnt follow it at all at the point, so my story is simply personal, emotions and my perspective, I was just overwhelmed and in love, ok I'll save it for the thread haha. Looking forward to writing it

 

For a long time I was Christian... but when I reached around the age 14 I had this same question. I want to believe there is something greater then this world but it's really hard to believe with so much contraversy. I've always kinda believed in karma and things like that... and that's what has brought me into looking more into Buddism... but I find it really hard to follow and learn so far.. but what I have read and looked into I've become closer to believing in the things that I have looked into... more then any other religion I have looked into.

 

My God
(Jethro Tull)

"People - what have you done
locked Him in His golden cage.
Made Him bend to your religion
Him resurrected from the grave.

He is the god of nothing
if that's all that you can see.
You are the god of everything
He's inside you and me..."

 

I used to be/still am a christian and I do believe in God. However over the past few weeks I started to feel that for God to love me I needed to change most things about myself. I finally actualy quite like who I am so the idea of having to change it all to suit someone/ something is something that I don't know if I am prepared to do at the moment!


I don't know if this is because of what other christians say you should be or whether it's just me! Has any one else felt like that?

 

Hindus believe God reveals itself in innumerable ways...
In the Bhagavad Gita, the Supreme, Krishna or Brahman or the supreme controller... whatever name you call it, is the greatest of all.

Truth is one, the wise call it in many different ways.

- Rig Veda​

 

a nice quote for those who didnt pick their religion
