A question I have about God

Pretty basic, really: Does He/She/It exists? And if, what was his plan and why did he build people and the world they way He/She/It did.

By “God” I mean the supreme being of whatever religiion

sure

Oh yeah God exist and he sent his son down to earth to give us a way to go to heaven.

and on the second part I honestlly don’t know and no one does. God knows exactly why he made us like he did and he did it on purpose.

He pu us on earth and heknows exactly what is going through our heads every day.

And if you ask him to save you from this world and you say that you wont do bad things again then he or she or it will save you and when you die he will take you into heaven. You had better do it quick though because any minute or any day God might decide to take everyone who is saved to heaven and leave everyone else behind so I’d get on that.

If you have any other questions or you just want to talk

then e-mail me at are-you-ready-to-rumble@hotmail.com

Does it matter?

I understand your need for answers, but really… regardless of his/her/its existance, things are going to keep going on and nothing is different. Things just are the way they are.

Unless you get a message from god or something, I doubt you’ll ever know the answer to these questions.

Please don’t let these questions sidetrack you from what’s important: Life. Just live life as you would. That’s all that can be asked of you. :-)

But...

what if “living life” is really all about the process of answering the questions? Seems to me that we’re all just kinda “fillin’ time” without coming to grips with the big “Why am I here? Is there a God? What does God want from me?” kinda stuff…

Why God created things the way he did...

Genesis 1:
25 God made the animals of the earth after their kind, and the livestock after their kind, and everything that creeps on the ground after its kind. God saw that it was good.

26 God said, “Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the birds of the sky, and over the livestock, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.”

27 God created man in his own image. In God’s image he created him; male and female he created them.

28 God blessed them. God said to them, “Be fruitful, multiply, fill the earth, and subdue it. Have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the sky, and over every living thing that moves on the earth.”

29 God said, “Behold, I have given you every herb yielding seed, which is on the surface of all the earth, and every tree, which bears fruit yielding seed. It will be your food.

30 To every animal of the earth, and to every bird of the sky, and to everything that creeps on the earth, in which there is life, I have given every green herb for food;” and it was so.

31 God saw everything that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. There was evening and there was morning, a sixth day.

Yes God exists

The mere act of asking shows that God exists. God has placed himself (for the lack of a better word) in your heart. He created the world as an expression of his ability to create. As for the reason for our bodies, one can only guess, but our time here on earth is a period of shaping and developing our “character”. He created us becuase He desires a love relationship whith us. All other creatures have no separte will, only us. This way He cannot force us to obey Him or His laws, as the animils do, or love him. His love is given freely and all He wants in return is our love given freely and becuase we choose too.

Answers, (kind'a short)

There are a lot who dont know what are they reffering to, when they say God. I can say he is the creator, he is the source, he is in every piece of his created reality, he is absolute and uncanging, he is perfect. But the most important thing about him – he is a person. Its not that some system exists and ir runs. It is so that he has his own character. So, yes he is, and it would be more clear to say “only God exists” (we are in him).


There are happines not to know everything, and to spend infinity of time to experience something what you still havent. God have created a lot, and still have a lot on his mind. It looks like, he is creating a huge falimy where everyone loves one another. Everyone is learning and going on a higher step to reach his perfection, and that when realy knowing what is god to express it to others, by serving others. The main idea of creating humans, was that God can easily create perfect beings, but for humans it was so, to crate them from the beginning, that they would reach being perfect in some miliard of years.
Well that was kind’a short, of course there are more information out there somwere.

read this good story answers a recently asked Q

read this
A man went to a barbershop to have his hair cut and his beard trimmed.

As the barber began to work, they began to have a good conversation.

They talked about so many things and various subjects. When they eventually touched on the subject of God, the
barber said:

“I don’t believe that God exists.”

“Why do you say that?” asked the customer. “Well, you just have to go out in the street to realize that God doesn’t exist.

Tell me, if God exists, would there be so many sick people?

Would there be abandoned children?

If God existed, there would be neither suffering nor pain.

I can’t imagine a loving God who would allow all of these things.”

The customer thought for a moment, but didn’t respond because he didn’t want to start an argument.

The barber finished his job and the customer left the shop.

Just after he left the barbershop, he saw a man in the street with long, stringy, dirty hair and an untrimmed beard. He

looked dirty and unkempt.

The customer turned back and entered the barber shop again and he said to the barber: “You know what? Barbers do not exist.”

“How can you say that?” asked the surprised barber.

“I am here, and I am a barber. And I just worked on you!”

“No!” the customer exclaimed. “Barbers don’t exist because if they did, there would be no people with dirty long hair and

untrimmed beards, like that man outside.”

“Ah, but barbers DO exist! That’s what happens when people do not come to me.”

“Exactly!” affirmed the customer. “That’s the point! God, too,

DOES exist! That’s what happens when people do not go to Him and don’t look to Him for help. That’s! why there’s so much pain and suffering in the world.”

that's a wonderful question

I ask you in return, do you believe in a soul or the existence of love?

I believe in evolution, but I also believe in these things. I know when I look at the sky I find it beautiful. I know that love is more than lust. And I feel that evolution does not explain these things, and these things are what sets us apart from the majority of other living things.

This is why I believe in a higher being(s).

but I also don’t think it matters what his/her/it’s name is, or what the name of the book we read is, or even how many of them there are.

I think this is the plan: that we live. why on earth else would we be here? take what you’ve got and do what you can with it. Smile a little.

God created us the way he did because he created us in his image. He created us to have a relationship. To have someone to love and to love him. That was the original plan then Adam and Eve failed God by going against his will causing a break in our relationship with him. Before that Adam and Eve walked with God, actually side-by-side full in the face looking and talking with God. After that there was a separation. Now we are here to show God’s love introduce people to God that way they can feel God’s love. That way they can have a relationship with him… Who is God to you?? Seriously who is He to you?? Not only have I met this person and not only do I love and adore my beautiful, magnificent God, but I KNOW Him. My God is a God of wonders and mystery. My God is loving and so merciful. He is perfect in every way and I don’t care what you have to say about Him. He saved my life countless times and He was kind enough to heal not only me but my mother. He is AWE-mazing. And everyday of my life is like an empty shell unless I talk with Him and be with Him. Not so I can benefit, but so that others may come to be as close to Him as I am, feel as whole as I feel. Not because of some stupid happy pill or a shot of some sort of fermented corn. No, no my friends my God is a God who makes the sick well and the blind see, He makes the lame walk and let me tell you that my God is a God of impossible things. In our eyes it seems impossible… but for the One who created it all the stars and the sky the oceans and the trees. All plants and animals, whatever your struggling with my God can handle and much, much more. And if my God took the time to make each and every creature and put man in charge of it all imagine how much time He took on you… How long he thought about how you would look and how perfect you are… never ever sell yourself short for my God is a God who loves you. He calls us sons and daughters, did you know that? And we have a Brother. A wonderful brother who came to this earth by not only the will of the Father but His own as well and died the most painful death so you wouldn’t have to. Yes our physical bodies pass away, but if we truly believe that our brother, Jesus, came to save us from the most painful of deaths, hell, and confess it, and accept Him as the person He is the Almighty God, LORD of all. Then yes our physical bodies will pass away, but our spiritual bodies will go to a place of perfection, heaven. Death may frighten some, but as for me I know that my God is good, truly good and I will be with Him one day, and how I be glad that I can see the one who made me whole who took my pain, and all my mistakes and sin up on a cross. That would be like your Sibling switching places with you on death row. And how glorious it will be when I kneel down at His feet and thank Him for EVERYthing He has done in my life.

Any questions let me know K? ~
