Do you believe that if God is not near, then you moved?

Question

Do you believe that if God is not near, then you moved?

Answer 1

It is His promise that He will be with us always while here, but He honors the free will

Answer 2

No.  I believe that when a person accepts Christ as their Savior, they have the Holy Spirit always.  I do believe that when we are not experiencing the joy or assurance of our salvation, your statement might apply.

Answer 3

If God is not near, God doesn't exist.

One's feelings on the matter: now they're a currency with a very variable exchange rate.

Edit: thumbs down?  I'm theologically correct:  if God exists God is close to all, whether they feel that or not.

The sensation is not the thing.

Answer 4

God is very near to all those who diligently seek him. He does not go away or turn his face when they cry out for help. God is very much there with them in their everyday life. They don't panic and they don't fear. God is their protector, nothing can harm them.  

Answer 5

I don't believe that God is not near.  If I can't see/feel God's presence, I'm not looking in the right place/way.

Answer 6

I personally do not believe in God, I just don't think it's logical or at all possible, I laugh about the stories in Religious Ed, because that's just the way I think. Now, I'm not against God, I think the idea of him puts alot of people on a good path, or gives people strength after hard times. I will, however, never believe in God, or any religion, ever.

So, I'm not able to answer your question, sorry.

Answer 7

God is omnipresent. He is everywhere. I understand what you're getting at, though, and yes, I do agree. One has to move towards God in order to feel His spirit, rather than shy away and turn their back.

Answer 8

if you do not mean physicly then yes.

if you dont have god near you

then you are moving away from his word and love

to have him near you accept him

Answer 9

I believe that if god is not near, there is a reason.....example.....god will be with you in the car, the minute you decide to break the law/act immorally (while driving)......he gets out.

Answer 10

God is about as close to me as Santa or the Easter Bunny.

He is always near!
