There have been many posts about this, people with their own opinions etc!. This isnt about who's right and wrong, as we all know, we have no fact of god's existence!. All i want to know is why do you personally believe in a god!? Is it because of a special event, family or just plain unsure!. If you start flaming me, you know where to stick it!. =] Happy answering!.Www@QuestionHome@Com Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: Because I hate the feeling that I am all alone in the Universe without someone greater than I am whom I can in my mind report to!.Www@QuestionHome@Com I believe the universe is one!. All the variety and vagaries of life are just an illusion!. But you want to know why!. When I studied Buddhism, I bought all the negatives (the world is an illusion,) and none of the positives (Buddha, Nirvana, Escape from Rebirth!.) This put me in a horrible mess, because I personally find solipsism a miserable way to live!. So I have convinced myself that you aren't real, and I can't stand to be alone, sooo-- God!Www@QuestionHome@Com Excellent question! I seriously look for this answer for more than 45 years now!. I definitely not abide with any religion!. Is there a God!? The best answer would be that there is Energy in all cells and fractions of the smallest part of an atom!. There is cohesion and intelligence in all particules!. Is it only one entity as we might visualize or only Energy self organized!? Our minds are way to underdeveloped to understand what is God-Energy!.Www@QuestionHome@Com Yes!. It is because I have read the Bible (King James, Catholic, Book of Mormon, studied Judaism, Muslimism, etc!. and I have traveled to many places!. It just seems to me to make sense that there is some kind of Divine guidance in all this!.Www@QuestionHome@Com I have seen too many things to not believe there is a God and looking at the history and lives of the early Church !.!.!. Jesus his son! BaiWww@QuestionHome@Com I don't know I guess it is just that it is easier to believe that there is something big that just explains everything!.Www@QuestionHome@Com YourselfWww@QuestionHome@Com I will not believe in GOD if my parents have not taught about IT to me!.Www@QuestionHome@Com Several years ago I had an unusual experience concerning an uncle, a distant relative who lived over a thousand miles away!. While driving my car I suddenly felt the unmistakable presence of this relative that I hardly even knew!. He was more like someone I had heard about than someone I knew!. It was very strange; it felt as though I was momentarily lifted right out of my physical body!. I seemed to be suspended somehow beyond space and time, bathed in a love so intense It felt like I could have just disappear into it at any moment if It would have let me!. It only lasted for a few seconds, but it seemed to last forever at the same time!. I realize how crazy this must sound!. The experience was so strong that at first I was afraid I was loosing my grip on reality!. I finally managed to chalk it up to an over active imagination!. Three days later I got a call from my aunt telling me that this uncle we are talking about had gone into a coma and died the day I had the experience!. It felt like ice water had been poured down my back when she told me this!. I had lost any real ideas of God or faith and had become somewhat of an atheist!. Needless to say this experience caused me to rethink some of the conclusions I had come to!. I feel blessed to now understand that even in our darkest confusion something loves us so much that it went out of its way to assist me and bring me back to a state of absolute certainty about Gods love for us!. During the experience it seemed like there was a vast amount of information that I was somehow allowed access to!. One thing that I came away from this experience understanding beyond any shadow of a doubt was that any Idea that God is unhappy with us or would judge or allow us to be punished for any reason is simply impossible!. I can’t explain the love I felt with words!. They simply don’t make words big enough or complete enough to do this!. The only way I can begin to convey this love to you is to say that there was simply nothing else there!. Nothing but love!. No hint of judgment, no displeasure of any sort!. It is as though God sees us as being as perfect as we were the day we were created!. It is only in our confused idea of ourselves that we seem to have changed!. I hope this is of some help to you!. Good luck!. Love and blessings!. Your brother donWww@QuestionHome@Com |
