If God is real why does it not show itself? When he created man why did he not tell al man of its existence instead of leaving u to find out for ourselves. Wouldn't it seem that the odds of our finding out about it are micro to none.

I used "it" instead of "he" for if God is too be truely unique then it is niether man nor woman.

  1. If It does exist then It would have built us with a connection to It.  Perhaps we do have that connection and dont know it?  Or perhaps we do not have that connection and dont know it?  Or we do have that connection and do know it?  Or perhaps we do not have that connection and do know it?

    Perhaps I used Perhaps too much.


  2. man realised his limitations and reasoned that there must be god

    in order for empirical reason (or science for that matter) to have any weight, you must take a leap of faith... this is what Hume leads us to and Keirkegaard (sp?) teaches us.

  3. Adam knew God, from the beginning!

  4. Love is based on free will... you can't force someone to love someone else.  That's a given even atheists would agree to.

    so, if God really wants us to love Him, which is what all religious writing says, then the only way to do that is to give us free will and free choice whether or not to believe in Him.

    So, if God decided to come down in blazing fire or light or whatever, and show HImself to EVERYBODY, then would we have free will or choice to accept Him?  Of course not, everyone would believe because everybody would be freaked out that they'll be sent to h**l if they don't.. there would be no choice to freely love anylonger or believe in Him..

    therefore God gives us enough clues that those who want to believe will, and those who do not want to believe won't.  The choice is up to us.

    And as for us God not giving the human race enough evidence to believe in God, well, we do don't we?  Religion is rampid accross the globe?  God got into our heads somehow, and whether or not you believe the option is there, so if God is real, id say His plan worked out pretty well so far.

  5. so your saying that it is neither man nor women? and angel you are saying? no, come on. Maybe god is already here. We're making a big break threw in quantum physics right now, and it seems like were getting closer to the answer. And Im only 16 and I got like 50 or so more years and this is just gonna be the funniest life ever, to experience an EVOLUTION!!! in consciousness, the mind, the soul, energy, nothingness......

  6. Read in the Bible in Genesis , and Exodus, God , always made himself known Adam , he told him to name the animals, Eve  when she sinned , He asked her, how she knew she was naked Genesis3:8-10      , Moses  he spoke from the burning bush through an angel Exodus3:2-5  and        many other ones he spoke to through dreams. Moses , he granted him to show miracles to Pharoah , he also told moses to be the spokeman for the people, Noah , he told to build the ark , the  names could go on..... To make it brief, Jesus had to die for us so we could live. Jesus is the mediator between us, and God , read in your Bible, no one could see God and yet live , he used angels , and his son to complete any tasks he wanted done. Jesus says, he came here to do the will of his father who sent him John 3:16 , and John17:3  If you have time, read these scriptures also read Genesis, Exodus ,  God is the Almighty ,  he made man in his image according to our likeness he is speaking of himself and christ Jesus , to make us. Genesis 3:26 ,27 And    God proceeded to create the man in his image , in  God's image he created him; male and female he created them........ You can read on in your Bible if you'd like.

  7. Probably via prophetic resonance and revelation.

    The Bible indicates man's soul turned from God, then acquired "coats of skin" or modified ape-like physical bodies, then prophets and sages were sent to speak Word, Truth, into the energy-veiling, or eviling, that the Bible calls "gross darkness."

    "The Path of the Higher Self," Mark Prophet,

    "The Reincarnation of Edgar Cayce?", Free and Wilcock, http://www.divinecosmos.com

    "The Great Divorce," C. S. Lewis,

    "Autobiography of a Yogi," Yogananda,

    "To Live Within," Lizelle Reymond,

    "Answers," Mother Meera,

    "The Master of Lucid Dreams," Dr. Olga Kharitidi,

    "Extraordinary Knowing," Dr. Elizabeth Mayer,

    "Men in White Apparel," Ann Ree Colton, and

    "Testimony of Light," Helen Greaves, are some books which help answer your question.

  8. Amos 3:7 tells us that God has sent prophets to teach His children.  Adam was the first, and there have been many after that.  

    When the people are wicked, however, God retracts his prophets (they are often killed).  God calls prophets again when the people are ready?

    What about those who are ready - but there is still too much evil for a prophet to be called?  Everyone will have a chance to accept or reject His teachings, whether in this life or next.

  9. Is the truth always observable?  Did the fallen tree make a sound if nobody was there to hear it?  If we hear a loud crashing sound, must there have been a fallen tree even if we couldn't find it?  Is a miracle always observable?  Should we even believe in miracles just because it is impossible to repeat them with our capabilities?  How do we even begin to discern the super-natural from nature?

    Religion(s) might hold more answers than science, though it does not necessary mean the answers are valid.

  10. You are making lots of assumptions and preconcieved notions.

    God has presented himself to mankind in thought and heart and nature. God's word was sent to special people who wrote down accounts with God.

    I believe That Relilgion has put God in a box and has way too much control over  the Creator.

    He is. Has Been and always will be.

    The beginning the middle and the end.

    How do I know? I feel it in my heart.

    My limited brain can only understand a limited idea of what, who, where, why the Creator is.

    I am at peace with that.
