Who is God?\nWe have been put here on the earth to save a dying world this is why God created us and put us here.It is hard for you to understand God and His ways, because you have not been taught through a good bible teaching church, which will give you the engraphted and uncompromising Word of the True and Living God. There is none in all the earth like God, he is awesome and wonderful, Most precious and Highly favored among many born-again believers(christians) and not everyone that says they are a christian is really a christian. THe bible says that a tree is known by it's fruit, and that out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks, so if the only thing a person puts out is discord or whatever the problem is then that what you will receive from that person. If you see a person that claims to be a christian and everytime you see them no matter where they are they are pleasant,reading the Word and praying then they may very well be Born-again. God is the one true and living God of Abraham, Issac and Jacob. He knew you before the foundations of the world, he knows what you are going to before you do it. He knows the present, past and future before they happen , he know your heart even though people say that loosely and be sinning left and right. God does know your heart and he knows what you're thinking, why you think that and what you are going to do about it.\n\nhttp://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?book_id=50&chapter=3&version=45\n\nYou do not understand His ways, because you have not had your mind renewed through His Word. You can hear the Word all day but until you actually apply it to your everyday life, it means nothing. Prayer really does change things. Prayer is simply communication with God, but you have to know His voice. Praying in the spirit or Tongues is the only sure way to know that God is the only one talking to you. Only God knows your thoughts, Satan doesn't have that ability and never will, you can talk to God in your mind and he will answer you. You have to be sensitive to The Holy Spirit to hear Him. The Trinity is the father, son and Holy Spirit which are one in the same. How awesome is that? God is Omnipotent-All powerful, Omniscient-all knowing  and Omnipresent-can be everywhere at the same time. No one else can do that but God. He loves you so much and more than you will ever know. Seek God's face and His Righteousness and He will give you the desires of your heart.\n\nYou can use the bible website to read the bible in any version that you can fully understand. The Living version, the New Living version and the Amplified make it plain. You have to understand who God is in order to grow in Him. \n\nI pray that God will guide you into all truth and lead you to a good bible teaching church where you can get the uncompromising Word that He has for you. In Jesus name, Amen. You are going to be just fine. Only believe!!!

(resounding amen coming from a fellow believer)\nThat was beautiful sister, i really am so glad someone did this, anyway i really hope people can read this with out opininionated ideals and theology. God is God and who are we to define who he is. My point is we are so caught up in our selfishness and selfcenteredness, we reject proper biblical teaching. remember the enemy comes to steal, murder and destroy, but Christ came to redeem us.\nand again AMEN!!!!!!

The beginning of knowledge is the fear of the Lord!\n\nThat is what Christians know!\n\nYou must have the fear of the Lord, and be humble to see God as God and not in the terms of man!\n\n\nThe Bible appears to be skeptical stories otherwise. \n\nIf you are a Christian you must be able to dismiss the instinct of pride within that says I can justify myself to the Creator of the universe. However, with the mindset that God is no more special than yourself, how can you be expected to understand.\n\n\nThe book of Job shows how not matter how we think we are justified, God abilities and understanding of everything surpasses ours. If you think big whoop God created the world or that some mathematically impossible number of events happened to make the earth, how can we even have a rationale discussion!\n\nChristians accept God's authority!\n\nread this please~!

God answers prayers of those people that have gotten right with God and have God first in their heart, Its a relationship. Signs of existance hmmmm how about us and the earth. Or do you think this was an accident, the human body is so complex it cant be just by chance!Have lots of doubts about God, Jesus, or the Bible? Most people who think about this do wonder "How do I know that what the Bible says is true?" At ---, we think that this is an excellent question deserving an excellent answer, and that's what we provide in our "Facts Behind the Faith" seminar. Contrary to what you may have heard, God doesn't ever expect us to have "blind faith." He has always proven what He has said, and He's done that conclusively. The only thing that separates Christianity from every other religion is that it can PROVE what it says to be true. No other religion can. We can prove logically, scientifically, and archaeologically that God must exist, that the Bible is directly from God, that Jesus was God's Son, and even that He rose from the dead. Sound impossible? Then you owe it to yourself to force us to prove it. We guarantee that you'll be amazed at what you learn, and you deserve PROOF. Let us give you some  Go to this site and check out the simnars

Kind of Hard to write all this. I will try to break it down in its simplest form. God is triune in His person. In his image man was made spirit,soul, body, triune. \nGod is Spirit.\nThe Holy Spirit dwells in the earth.\nJesus became a man. He was to do so from the beginning.\n\nSpirit is the true man.\nSoul is what makes you, you. Your soul is the catalyst between your spirit and your body.\nYour body is how you deal with the world of reality around you.\nWhen you are born again a new Spirit dwell within you Gods Spirit. Adam was made to walk in his Spirit nature when He fell he had to learn to walk in his flesh. \nWe are born in this flesh and must learn to walk by the new Spirit that dwell within us. Our Spirit man is made new but we must renew our mind (soul) in Christ daily. working out our salvation with fear and trembling... not of our spirit but our mind(soul) by being transformed to the image of Christ. there is a lot here but if you want to know more let me know email me......\nMessenger

ONE GOD ONE ENTITY\n\n( Do you trust God’s Word or mans’? )\n\nIsa.43:10 Ye are My witnesses, saith the LORD, and My servant whom I have chosen: that ye may know and believe Me, and understand that I am He: before Me there was no God formed, neither shall there be after Me. Isa.43:11  I, even I, am the LORD; and beside Me there is no saviour. Isa.43:12  I have declared, and have saved, and I have shewed, when there was no strange god among you: therefore ye are My witnesses, saith the LORD, that I am God. \n\nIsa.44:6 Thus saith the LORD the King of Israel, and his redeemer the LORD of hosts; I am the first, and I am the last; and beside Me there is no God. \n\nRev.1:8 I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty.\n\nIsa.44:8 Fear ye not, neither be afraid: have not I told thee from that time, and have declared it? ye are even my witnesses. Is there a God beside Me? yea, there is no God; I know not any. \n\nIsa.45:18 For thus saith the LORD that created the heavens; God Himself that formed the earth and made it; He hath established it, He created it not in vain, He formed it to be inhabited: I am the LORD; and there is none else. \n\nIsa.45:21 Tell ye, and bring them near; yea, let them take counsel together: who hath declared this from ancient time? who hath told it from that time? have not I the LORD? and there is no God else beside Me; a just God and a Saviour; there is none beside Me. Isa.45:22 Look unto Me, and be ye saved, all the ends of the earth: for I am God, and there is none else. \n\nIsa.46:9 Remember the former things of old: for I am God, and there is none else; I am God, and there is none like Me, Isa.46:10 Declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times the things that are not yet done, saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will do all My pleasure: \n \nIsa 7:14  Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel. \n\nMatt.1:23 Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us.\n\nJohn 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. \n\nJohn.1:14 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth. \n\nHeb.2:14 Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, He also Himself likewise took part of the same; that through death He might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil; \n\nI John 5:7 For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are One.

Do you really think anyone on Yahoo Answers has the answer to what many philosphers have been trying to figure out for thousands of years? Ehh... I'll try.\n\nI have spent countless nights trying to get some sort of answer myself. It's really hard for me accept that there is a God though. Either that, or it's hard for me to accept the God that my parents tried to drill into to my head since I was a baby. (They are fundamentalist Christians by the way. the outrageous ideas make me sad that there are more people out there like them.)\n\nI think there might a God because it seems very unlikely that such a complex life could have happened by accident, or by an explosion of matter. The way that DNA is constructed, cells, and just the way that the human body functions seems all too perfect for it to happen by some random chance. \n\nHowever, I as I said before, I don't know if I could ever believe in the Catholic or Christian God. Supposedly, God is omnipotent, omniscient, and omnibenevolent. That means he is all-good, all-knowing, and all-powerful. I'm sure that you are well aware of the sorrow, suffering and pain that a billion people feel every day due to war,starvation, genocide, poverty, and most importantly evil. If God was all-good, he would not allow this to happen. If God is all-good, but he can't stop it, that means he is not all-powerful. If said God is not all-powerul, then he cannot be God. \n\nGod cannot be omnicent or all-knowing, because humans have free will, and those two are contridictory. One might argue that everything needs a creator. Even the Universe. Something cannot create itself. So God created the universe, but who or what created God? \n\nPerhaps there is a God, but it is likely that all of those rules, and dogmatic views that Christians teach is not accurate. The texts of the Bible have been PROVEN to be altered by numerous kings, who put into it what they wanted. Similar to how George W. Bush is running the country based on his morals. I don't know, you decide.\n\n The answer will probably never be solved, and people will always be kept wondering. I believe in God, but I don't believe in organized religion.\n\nRead this, you would find it interesting. It's a converstaion between an ordinary man and God. Good read.\nhttp://www.fullmoon.nu/articles/art.php?id=tal

God is God no matter what. He's the Supreme Being in the universe. He's omnipotent, omniscient, omnipresent, all-good, and eternal. Nothing changes the person of God.\n\nWhether God is Lord in one's life is up to the individual. They can choose not to acknowledge Him as Lord. In fact, they can choose not to acknowledge him at all. That doesn't change the fact that He is God, but it means that He is not Lord over their lives. One day, though, every knee will bow and every tongue will confess that Jesus Christ is Lord to the glory of God the Father.

Hi HAresh,\n You have asked for a lot of informaiton. I do not know where you live, but if you live in a country where christianity is restricted, it may be difficult to find a christian pastor or leader to help answer your questions. But first, if it is possible, then try to find someone near you , so you can spend all the time you want talking to someone.\n\nFirst of all the God of Christianity is a God of love. He sent his son to help us because we were sinners, and did many things wrong. We deserved to be punished, but Jesus took our place for that punishment to show his love for us. If we tell God we are sorry for the bad things we have done, and trust Jesus for his sacrifice for us, we will be accepted into God's family and live forever in heaven with him. \n\n Some people pray to earn their way to heaven. This way, if they get to heaven, they can say they earned it. We pray because we want to be close to God. We cannot earn our way to God. Jesus took this work away, and replaced it with his love. Love is the way to heaven. \n\nIf you cannot find a bible near you, please let me k now and  I will send you one....\n\nIf you would like a free copy of my book, I can send it to you electronically.  It tells my story as a christian. It is written in story form, so it is not just a book of facts. You learn as you read the story. Let me know if you want a copy.... see my link... don't worry about any money.... God's love is always free to those who are looking sincerely.\n\nwrite me if you wish.. ask all your questions.\n\nmtioran@yahoo.com

No you are not ignorant.  You just don't want to understand, but that is OK, we don't have to understand everything in life, if we do, then what else are we to do with out life!  we need the challenge to discover the unknown, or misunderstood!\n\nLet me try it in a different way, many other members put it so well, so I try it a bit different.  \n\nSuppose a person's father is a King, what would the son of the King be!   that is how can Jesus Christ be a God.\n\nI hope that helped, at least a little.

Noone can know that.\n\nUnfortunately, the Bible, reputedly given as the word to bring all persons to god & the christ figure, tells us not to believe any human teaching us that it is the word, that it's god is the One True Creator God, that Jesus is part of God and came to Earth to die for our salvation, and that the Holy Spirit is part of its god and the part that will enter you to let you know the Bible is the Word and the Truth.  \n\nRead on.\n\nWe can't know a "god", and can neither prove nor disprove what the currently referenced Bibles tell us (Referring to the modern-day, Christian mainstream belief that the Old Testament and New Testaments, as interpreted and popularly bound, make up the Word for us to receive).\n\nIt's an impossible connundrum. To know Christ, or God's love is one thing. But, to learn it by introduction to, and understanding of the Word as an "In" is impossible. Questions aimed at deficiencies, conflicts and historic errors must be explained away by interpretation.\n\nHowever, Jesus tells his readers, directly, not to follow charismatics, ritual or leaders of this earth. Everyone that is brought to Christ by witnesses or other humans faces a very real problem. Being brought to him, or introduced, means one has not met Christ and does not know his father or the Holy Spirit. The student then will be required to follow a teacher of this world.\n\nWithin his teachings, a True teacher would have to teach the student Jesus' direct warning about following worldly leaders/teachers. The student then cannot know whether his teacher is of this world (getting the fine details wrong and leading poor student astray), or from the right school of thought.\n\nthe student will need the Holy Spirit to enter him, so Christianity tells us, in order to understand the word. For any man can pick up the Bible and start putting together messages that serve his purpose by stringing passages together. Even well-meaning, but very misled persons can do this.\n\nThe student would have to come to know the Holy Spirit by following the worldly leader in order to accept the Holy Spirit and invite him into the student so that the student can know whether or not his teacher is a True teacher or one of this world.\n\nOf course, a good student, and one who has never been brought to Christ, would have to put the mental brakes on when they get to the point in the lessons where they are taught not to follow worldly leaders and teachers. A good student will have to say to himself:\n1. I'm being introduced to this alleged one, true, god by this person.\n\n2. This person tells me that there is one, true, god who created us and everything and loves us and chooses us and gave us his Word to know him.\n\n3. This person tells me that god's word is the Bible.\n\n4. This person tells me that the Bible says that it is god's word.\n\n5. This person tells me that the word is also jesus as we know him through the Bible.\n\n6. This person tells me that the word is truth.\n\n7. This person tells me that I have to believe in jesus, accept him as my lord and savior to be with god forever.\n\n8. This person tells me that jesus died for my sins, which otherwise separate me from god and had previously required priests to make various sacrifices to cleanse me to god.\n\n9. This person tells that we all have sin and must have this relationship with jesus, and live as he instructs, to be tight with god.\n\n10. This person tells me that there is an entity called satan, an anti-god, that exists to confuse me, lead me away from god and jesus, and take me down the wrong, worldly path.\n\n11. This person tells me Jesus demanded we not follow charismatics, worldly teachers or leaders, nor earthly ritual.\n\n12. This person responds to my earnest question about confusing points of the Bible and his (my earthly teacher's) message by telling me I will know the word is the Word, and the Truth through the Holy Spirit.\n

i was reading some of the put downs, doesnt any one have any faith or even common sense. god talks to each and every one of us. its the voice in your head telling you to do something or not to do something its the guilt you feel when you have done something wrong. who are we to say god did not speak to him. the bible says judge ye not! and it also tells us to have faith.who are we to decide who god can and can not talk to. would you believe him if he said satan talked too him?

I 100% agree. God has authority over all creation and the bible is God's word written by man inspired by God the father and sent to us as a gift of love (just like his son Jesus) to help us understand what he asks of us and as an instruction on how to live. Read it, meditate on it and do not allow the skeptics and unbelief of the world tear you from it. Whether the world wants to accept it or not does not mean it does'nt apply to them. God Bless praying for you Yohanna ramirez

God isn't ALL anything - and God is not a person.\n\nGod is a metaphor for the universal energy that flows through and drives this existence.  We are all, at our essence, part of that very same energy (children of God).  We come here to learn something that we can only learn here on Earth and when we are done, we rejoin this energy (with the use of our own personal Death myths - i.e. Heaven).\n\nEvil is a metaphor for the limits and pitfalls of the flesh.  In this existence we are subject to a lot of negative emotion, much of it of our own creating.  Fear, guilt, resentment all lead us to despair, self doubt, intolerance - it helps us make bad choices - it helps us create our own personal Hell.  We are sometimes so consumed with this negativity that we cannot shake it upon death and we become lost - that is Hell.  Nothing more.\n\nThe God as Person thing, in my opinion, comes from the idea that we can "appeal to this energy" or ask for help as a child would a parent.  It's a father because it gives us exactly what we ask for (knowing from our thoughts and prayers) - mother would want us to really consider our words, and be sure that it was just what we wanted.  Father says "you asked for it?  you got it!"\n\nFree will is so 100% on but people don't realize that it's on all the time - like being tape recorded.  If God is sending what we are thinking about then we are 100% in control of our existence.  There has been exhaustive research on the mind's ability to heal itself, affirmations, visualization, laughing yourself health, etc.  Of course the prayers of the faithful and meditation is popular also.\n\nSo let's suppose for a second that is true - that our brains are our "link" home (to God).  If that is true, then God is listening 24-7, not to what you say, but to what you think.  Does it seem that when you worry about losing your job, that is exactly what happens?  Our free will is working but we are using it incorrectly.  When we want that promotion do we think - Yipee! I am gonna get that promotion!  - or - Damn, I might not get that promotion!\n\nThe bottom line is nothing is all good or all evil - in fact I will go one further and say nothing is good or evil, it is all in the mind of the interpreter.  A thief can be evil, but a mother stealing bread for her hungry child can hardly be considered evil.  One who kills randomly is an evil murder, but one who puts a soul out of it's misery can be thought of as a hero.\n\nPeace!

ANYONE can be called, the choice is up to us. However, we must believe and if we truly believe then we will follow the commands He set down for us. Belief takes more then intellectual knowledge, belief is action and knowledge working together. Simply acknowledging God is not belief, even Satan and his demons believe there is a God and that Jesus is His Son. You believe by hearing the Word, Romans 10:17 So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.\n\nJeremiah 29:11-14 \n11 For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the LORD, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope. 12 Then you will call upon Me and go and pray to Me, and I will listen to you. 13 And you will seek Me and find Me, when you search for Me with all your heart. 14 I will be found by you, says the LORD, and I will bring you back from your captivity; I will gather you from all the nations and from all the places where I have driven you, says the LORD, and I will bring you to the place from which I cause you to be carried away captive.\n\nMany claim to be Christians and many think they are, but only a small amount truly are Christians. When you truly seek God with your heart and you follow His commands then you will understand.\nLuke 10:22-25 (New International Version)\n 22"All things have been committed to me by my Father. No one knows who the Son is except the Father, and no one knows who the Father is except the Son and those to whom the Son chooses to reveal him." \n23Then he turned to his disciples and said privately, "Blessed are the eyes that see what you see. 24For I tell you that many prophets and kings wanted to see what you see but did not see it, and to hear what you hear but did not hear it."\nI am reading the same Bible I was reading before I became a true Christian, but it is vastly different when I read the words. It is as if the missing pieces to a puzzle have been returned, or someone who needs to wear glasses finally gets a pair and puts them on.

Well God. i did the 'help' prayer and God helped. i KNEW God existed when my youth leader prophecied over the youth group and he told me something i had thought not even talked about. i was left with two choices either my youth leader was physic or God existed. since then god has blessed me with a whole host of spiritual gifts and now i just KNOW.\n\nno one sees the wind you can only feel it. i have also studied evolution recently and that it is biochemically impossible. the more i learn about the New World Order, seal of solomon etc and illuminati on dollar bills it makes more sense... you cant argue with fact... the more i read the bible the more it makes sense. for example, the fact that psalm 22 talks about roman torture aka crucifixion which is not Jewish and yet it was written 1000 years before JC was born same as scripture in Daniel, Micah , Isiah etc\n\ni am now hoping to go to bible college and become a minister...\n\nthis is a paper i wrote enjoy...\n\nEvolutionary scientific discoveries unwittingly make the human creation in the book of Genesis feasible to the point of affirmation.\n\nIntroduction\n\nIn the beginning “male and female He created them.” (Genesis 1, 27) This statement has been contested ever since the Age of Enlightenment when human beings with their development of knowledge set about challenging God’s authority in the world around them. Immanuel Kant’s motto “Dare to know” really symbolises the dominant modernistic attitude that was and continues to be embraced by humanity. God has no problem with us gaining knowledge- he invented science and has got it to a perfect art seeing as he spoke all the necessary components into being. Indeed knowledge is God-given to the point that it is one of the fruits of the spirit. Besides, if God really wanted us to remain ignorant of the world he wouldn’t have given us the Word. I therefore want to emphasise that it is only when we think we got here on our own, without God that we come into dispute with God and the truth. But rejection is nothing new to God, who is neither surprised nor shocked by our choices or actions. Before God even created the world he had sent his son to die “it was the Lord’s good plan to crush him” (Isaiah 53, 10) and before he created the universe God knew we would “turn our backs on him and look(ed) the other way.” (Isaiah 53, 3). The fact that Charles Darwin’s Origin of Species caused some controversy and drove people to reject Jesus as the truth was not a ‘heavy blow’ for Him. For one thing, and I say this tongue-in-cheek, if God is anything like me he had probably gotten ‘bored’ of waiting. After all there’s quite a bit of waiting between before the Planck epoch (for those who are interested the Planck epoch is the time between zero and 10-43 seconds of the beginning of the universe) and 1859! Regardless of this publication and the later The Descent of Man (1871) His plan would still prevail over all His creation. The plan had already succeeded before we emerged on day six. Everything else had already been put in place: Jesus’ death and resurrection and all the animals and plants. EVERYTHING! God did NOT need our help or our approval and if he didn’t need it then, he certainly doesn’t need it NOW. What is interesting is that as God allows our knowledge to deepen and technology to improve evidence, particularly genetic and fossilised, appears to be pointing towards the feasibility if not the affirmation of the ‘story’ of Adam and Eve foretold in Genesis.\n\nAssumptions of the Author\n\nBefore I go any further I am making the following interpretations and/or assumptions:\n\n•Evolution (at least in humans) does occur but only within species. I believe that whilst other animals may evolve we wouldn’t as we are God’s chosen creation made in His image. He never changes and thus nor have (or will) we. Within our species implies that if women suddenly found blue-eyed men to be a turn-of
