God: Do you believe in him/her?

ok, let's keep this really simple. I'm tired of trying to read through run-on sentences, sarcasm when you didn't know it was intended as sarcasm, etc.

Give us a simple yes or no.... and one, yes ONE sentence as to why.

Example (and this is my answer):

Yes, because if you believe in ghosts, which I do, why not God--plus all the stories of near death experiences.

Keep it SIMPLE and SHORT. To the point.


Next.

PS - we're not in this thread to debate.... so keep it one post per person. JUST the ANSWER. Debate elsewhere.

Yes i believe in God

People nowadays almost seem to disbelieve and disrespect christianity as if it were fashion..

But i have always described my faith like this..

Im not your utmost practicing christian i dont get to church etc..

But this is my view point.. look at your body, the very things that are life choices, the mind, decisions viens, blood, like everything just works..

tHE ONly thing to really say is it some crazy shit.. Too crazy to Bs about a big bang or anything to that effect..

The bible stands for Basic Instructions Before Leaving Earth

Its not about all the in depth stories or details its about enterpreting the bible and religion into what you can to make you the best person you can..

In fact if everyone did do this then the world would be perfect

God is real. Fact.

It's also a fact the earth is only 10,000 years old and Dinosaurs were on Noah's Ark.

Factety fact fact.

Opinions is opinions but its not cool to mock god..

No

I do not believe in god.

I have no need for organised religion nor a belief system.

I live my life and live it in a way that I see being within a decent ethical code.

Thats enough for me.

Your man, the God fella, thought it was cool to create this lunatic asylum called earth.. and you think he hasn't got a sense of humour?

I believe in God. I don't have a problem with any of the miracles in the bible. The biggest miracle that could ever be is the fact that we are here right now, that the universe is here and I and you guys are all part of it.

I've never understood how anyone can have a problem with any biblical miracle when the biggest miracle of all is that they actually exist themselves to be able to have an opinion.

What is the bigger miracle, a man raised from the dead or man being created in the first place?

Amen

I believe in God, but I understand those who do not believe in him/her because I used to be a militant atheist, I'd argue with anyone who believed at the drop of a hat... As for why I believe in God now, I just do because I feel it inside of me. It was easy not to believe when life was going well...

Nope..............


Didn't the bible say the world and life was created in 10 days, or something? Wouldn't that mean that man and dinosaurs co-existed?? Would life have been like "The Flintstones?"


Evolution, baby.

Thank God (Hank Williams Sr.)

There's a road that's straight and narrow
That the saints have travelled on
Paved with all the tribulations
Of the martyrs that have gone
If you're grateful for their vict'ries
And for showin' us the way
Then give thanks for all your blessin's
Get on your knees and pray.

Thank God for ev'ry flower and each tree
Thank God for all the mountains and the seas
Thank God for givin' life to you and me
Wherever you may be, Thank God.

In this world of grief and sorrow
Filled with selfishness and greed
There remains the Glory Fountain
To supply our every need
You can find it in the temple
With a welcome on the door
But be sure to count your blessin's
Before you ask for more.

Thank God for ev'ry flower and each tree
Thank God for all the mountains and the seas
Thank God for givin' life to you and me

Wherever you may be, Thank God.

Be forgivin to the wayward
Like the Master told us to
When He said forgive them Father
For they know not what they do
They would change their way of livin'
If they could but understand
So remember they're your brothers
They need a helpin' hand.

Trust me mate dinosaurs and man coexisting really isn't a big problem, In the Western world we like to think we discovered things, eg.Columbus discovered America.....He didn't.....pre Renaisance man thought the world was flat......they didn't etc.

We like to think we discovered dinosaurs in the 1700's but every ancient civilisation knew about them but called them by a different name..dragons.

It's only a problem because evolutionists have indoctrinated people to believe in millions of years.

There are maps of Antartica a few hundred years old that show the continent without the ice, and they are accurate. The ice hasn't been there for millions of years at all.

yes i do

why??? because i want to believe that all this that we do has a purpose and that there is something for us all afterwards

but...........it scares the shit out of me that there are somany religions and what if i choose the wrong God to believe in and i get it wrong will the fact that i had faith be enough ????

Nope I'm sorry you will fry for all eternity if you even go wrong on the most minor of doctrine :-*



















Only kidding. Actually the bible makes it very clear that anyone can be saved. When Jesus came the Pharisees went out of their way to trip him up and to trap him and his message of grace. Dragging a woman caught in the very act of adultery for example, a crime that carried a certain death sentence and Jesus simply said ' Let him without sin cast the first stone'.

He also said it was easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to be saved. The crowd in a state of shock then asked 'Who then can be saved?', Jesus replied 'With man these things are impossible but to God all things are possible'.

I take these statements to mean that there will be a LOT of people saved who Christians would have thought certainly wouldn't be and a lot of 'Christians' condemned who thought they were totally safe.

Man is obsessed with the letter of the law, but God has always been interested in the spirit of the law, so I don't think intellectually misunderstanding the exact correct doctrines will necessarily doom a person to eternal damnation.
