Would God hold it against me, if I didn't believe in him?

Question

Considering there have been uncountable Gods worshipped since the beginning of time, which God? Which God would be angry with me?

Are we just expected to believe what someone tells us, even though God doesn't reveal himself to us?

Answer 1

You and I are expected to believe what God has revealed to us in the Bible, yes.

There are men and women in this world that know God and it has always infuriated those that don't.

Answer 2

Once again, another question to which an answer is null.

There's Christians that when they see this post will try to convert you,

and other the other side there's atheist that will try to tell you how everything perfectly makes sense scientifically and there's no way a god could exist in this Chaos.

and then there's me. I'm telling you that God is just the simple way of controlling thousands of millions of people that cannot lay existence in a miracle (not of god) but of nature.. And simply as that I leave it there so you have time to think and get to your own conclusions since that's always the best way to go.

Answer 3

\Yes but is there not a place (isn't it called limbo?) where nonreligious but good people go? And obviously it is whatever god the answerer believed in.

About the Hindus from the person above me all the Hindu gods are a manifestation of a universal spirit, Brahman (I think) so it is more comparable to angles not individual gods although we still teach it is polytheistic.

Answer 4

Luk 12:9 But if anyone denies me here on earth, I will deny that person before God's angels.

2Ti 2:12 If we endure hardship, we will reign with him. If we deny him, he will deny us.  

Jhn 14:6 Jesus told him, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one can come to the Father except through me.  

Answer 5

But God has revealed himself to you.....

Joking! Just the typical response from the fundamentalist mindset.

If a god exists, which god indeed. I just watched a video in my Religions class today that Hindus believe in upwards of 330 million 'gods'. Crazy stuff this religion is.

Answer 6

Nope, God would not be angry with you.  Anger is a human emotion that is linked to fear.  God is pure love.  

Look within and you may very well find the answer to what you believe.  Some people may expect that we should believe what someone tells us about God, others will say that God can be experienced and known in a personal way.  

I think God is within each of us, and I think it is sad when others try to dictate or control what God means and what we should believe spiritually, what we should read, and how we should express our spirituality.  It is a sacred and beautiful experience to discover one's inner understanding of existence and life... and I believe that the more we allow each other to do so without imposing rules and rigid objections, the closer we will all come to God.

I also believe that in loving yourself and loving others (in a divine sense, according to the true meaning of the word), you will be closer to God than any book, scripture, human can bring you.  

I believe that God is love and God loves you unconditionally, whether or not you believe that God does... and God will always be with you because you are part of God.  Your Higher-Self is the part of you that is God :)  So I hope you relax in this knowledge or maybe ignore it, I guess either way it doesn't really matter. Many people have definitions of God and rules about God but then when it comes to the way they lead their daily lives, their lives don't resemble God in any way at all.

To live life from a state of joy and love... that's most important I think :)  in this way you will come to know God even without seeking God.  

Answer 7

If you consider how much he is described as being a forgiving, merciful, loving God who reads hearts and minds it would seem he would know better than anyone any extenuating circumstances that make one feel that way, cuz there are plenty!

Answer 8

There is only one God and many religions - everybody has their own path to get there. And ask God why does not he reveled himself to you, literally. I kept asking, not anymore, he freaked the heck out of me. And He will not hold it against you - if you knowingly after knowing he really is deny him - then you are in trouble.

Answer 9

Yes. But if you dont believe why would it matter?

Answer 10

The God I worship is the Most High God.  He has revealed Himself to me.  Ask, and you shall receive.

Answer 11

jesus christ!!! :)

how could any caring god not understand the h**l his created?

if his got any real brains, he would understand the tests we have to under go as a human. <and if his real wouldnt he prove his existence? besides some book mankind wrote> god inspired my ***

if he does hold it against us for not believeing in him, he could kiss our *** i rkn. but if doesnt hold it against us, then his cool.

but you would think a allmighty would know whats happening down here.

Answer 12

I'm in the same boat.

You can't know for sure.

That's why I chose to become an agnostic.

Answer 13

The evil soul leaves the body with great difficulty, drawn out by the angels as a thronged skewer is dragged through wet wool.[1]  The Angel of Death then seizes the soul and puts it in a sack woven from hair which gives off a putrid stench, as foul and offensive as the most foul-smelling rotting corpse found on earth.  The angels then take the soul up past another company of angels who inquire: “Who is this wicked soul?”  to which they reply: “So and so, the son of so and so?” - using the very worst of names that he was ever called during his time on earth.  Then, when he is brought to the lowest heaven, a request is made that its gate be opened for him, but the request is denied.  Whilst the Prophet was describing these events, when he reached this point, he recited:

“The gates of heaven will not be opened for them and they will not enter paradise until a camel can pass through the eye of a needle.” (Quran 7:40)

God will say: “Record his book in Sijjeen in the lowest earth.”

…and his soul is cast down.  At this juncture, the Prophet, may the mercy and blessings of God be upon him, recited:

“He who assigns partners to Allah is as if he had fallen down from heaven and been snatched up by the birds, or made to fall by the wind in a place far distant.” (Quran 31:22)

The wicked soul is then restored to its body and the two fearsome, dread-inspiring angels, Munkar and Nakeer, come to it for its interrogation.  After making him sit up, they ask:

Munkar and Nakeer: “Who is your Lord?”

Disbelieving soul: “Alas, alas, I do not know.”

Munkar and Nakeer: “What is your religion?”

Disbelieving soul: “Alas, alas, I do not know.”

Munkar and Nakeer: “What do you say about this man (Muhammad) sent to you?”

Disbelieving soul: “Alas, alas I do not know.”

Having failed his test, the disbeliever’s head will be struck with an iron hammer with a force so violent that it would crumble a mountain.  The cry will be heard from heaven: “He has lied, so spread out carpets of h**l for him, and open for him a portal into h**l.”[2]  The floor of his grave is thus set alight with some of Hell’s fierce fire, and his grave is made narrow and constricted to the extent that his ribs become intertwined as his body is crushed.[3]  Then, an incredibly ugly being, wearing ugly garments and giving off a foul and offensive odor comes to the disbelieving soul and says: “Be grieved with what displeases you, for this is your day which you have been promised.”  The disbeliever will ask: “Who are you, with your face so ugly and bringing evil?”  The ugly one will reply: “l am your wicked deeds!”  The disbeliever is then made to taste bitter remorse as he is shown what would have been his abode in Paradise - had he lived a righteous life - before a portal is opened for him every morning and evening showing him his actual home in h**l.[4]  Allah mentions in His Book how the wicked people of Pharaoh are, at this very moment, suffering from such an exposure to h**l from within their graves:

“The Fire: they are exposed to it, morning and afternoon, and on the Day when the Hour will be established (it will be said to the angels): ‘(Now) cause Pharaoh’s people to enter the severest torment!’” (Quran 40:46)

Overcome with fear and loathing, anxiety and despair, the disbeliever in his grave will keep asking: “My Lord, do not bring the last hour.  Do not bring the last hour.”

The Companion, Zaid b. Thabit, narrated how, when the Prophet Muhammad and his Companions were once passing some graves of polytheists, the Prophet’s horse bolted and almost unseated him.  The Prophet, may the mercy and blessings of God be upon him, then said:

“These people are being tortured in their graves, and were it not that you would stop burying your dead, I would ask God to let you hear the punishment in the grave which I (and this horse) can hear.” (Saheeh Muslim)

Answer 14

There is only one true God and he does reveal himshelf to us through creation and scripture... all you need to do is look for him.

God loves you...God bless

Answer 15

I have met many people that to me has showed me that God is real.I have been sick and had someone bring me a cold drink.I have had someone bring me food for my baby.I have had someone pray for me and break depression off of my life in the name of Jesus.I myself have tried to touch others in ways that would show God is real.When you become a person for christ you become his temple.He dwells within you and that is the way God reveals himself to others.You can not see him or touch him but I have found that if you listen you can hear him and feel his presence.There have been many other "things" worshiped and still being worshiped today but there is only one God.

Answer 16

Well, it sounds like you believe in some God if you're afraid of him being mad at you for not believing.

Do some research on all of them, and whichever one you believe, that's it. What you actually believe isn't so much a choice as much as just what makes sense to you.

Some religions will probably sound unbelievable to you, and some maybe make more sense.

Considering there are so many different religions that so many people are convinced are the one "true" one, I'd bet that nobody really knows "god" well enough to know if "he" would hold it against you for being confused.
