Does God know I exist?

God definitely knows you... he created you!  The real question is whether or not you know him.  If you do, then chances are good that He's testing you (not in a mean way, of course).  Sometimes He is silent to see if you continue to trust in and rely on Him when you can't feel his presence as strongly.  Soon enough the tide will turn and you won't feel as lonely.  Have you read Purpose Driven Life?  It actually talks about some of this... light reading if you have the time.  If you DON'T know Him... well, I don't want to preach to you or anything... maybe you can post another question about that if you need to.  =)  \n\nAs for a plan... I think God places a calling on us; we're innately drawn to certain things and talented at certain things.  However, we're not forced to follow God's ideal plan for our lives.  If we, for example, make some bad choices along the way I believe God still tries to give us the best as long as we are following Him.

Knowing God is present!

I can give some information, but only God can convince you.\nI know this is really long, and I apologize in advance, but to follow the chain of logical reasoning takes a lot of words.\n\nAbsolute Proof for the Existence of God:\nThere’s a lot of really great evidence that God does in fact exist:\n1. The existence of God explains the universal longing of the heart.\nBillions of people have believed in a god, people of differing cultures and times, differing places and customs. Mankind is irreversibly homo religiosis, a religious creature. Even philosophies that had no god eventually had to invent one—this was clearly the case within Buddhism. The Buddha did not teach the existence of a deity, but the Buddha’s followers over the centuries converted Gautama Buddha himself into a god, and he is still revered as such by millions of Buddhists today.\n\nAnd this shift is also a shift to a personal deity. An abstract “force” does not satisfy the needs of the human heart—we need to know that someone is out there, not just something. This same shift was evident within Hinduism. The monistic impulse of Upanishadic Hinduism, with its highly philosophical Brahman, an abstract higher power, was overshadowed over time by devotion to individual, personal gods. We humans arrive on this earth incomplete, sensing a deep need within our souls for the divine. This is the “God-shaped void” in each heart.\n\nAtheism—the denial of God’s existence—simply doesn’t satisfy the longings of the human heart. Man cannot live without God. When people are denied a god, they invent one to satisfy their hearts. \n\n2. Humanity needs an ultimate point of reference by which we can determine our own meaning.\nThis is a point the braver atheists like Sartre have conceded. Their suggestion, of course, is that humanity has no meaning, no purpose, no ultimate significance. We cannot find our significance in ourselves—we long to exist for something greater. As was discussed in the previous lecture, if there is no God who exists and has spoken, we are left absurd creatures whose every action is arbitrary. It should come as no surprise that the fervor of UFO people seems so very religious in its zeal! They want someone to be out there, so that we can have a point of reference from which to consider our own existence! Those searching for extraterrestrial life often argue that humanity’s reason for existence—its purpose and destiny—will only be discovered when we make “first contact” with another life form. I would suggest that that other life form is the One that created us, that made contact for our salvation 2,000 years ago. We find our destiny only in him, for whom and by whom we were created.\n\n3. The existence of God best explains humanity’s sense of right & wrong.\nEveryone has an idea of the perfect, a concept of the good, true and beautiful. This deep moral sense, what C.S. Lewis called the Tao or the Law of Common Decency, had to come from somewhere. Compare the great moral systems of the world through the ages. They are remarkably similar. Faithfulness in marriage, honesty in speech, goodwill toward other people, not shedding human blood, honoring one’s parents—all are moral principles found in every society. Confucius died long before Jesus, but summarized his Law of Reciprocity (shu) by stating, “What you do not want done to yourself, do not do to others.”\n\nThis universal sense of right and wrong, what philosophers historically called natural law, cannot be explained very easily without appealing to humanity’s creation by a moral God. And these moral principles are not merely the products of human cultures. Were this so, we would see a lot more variation from one society to the next. But we find them, not only in every culture, but also ingrained in the human conscience. As Paul explained, God’s moral law is “written on their hearts” (Romans 2:15). This had to come from somewhere.\n\n4. The existence of G

Wow, good question!\n\nFirstly, your question is concerned with the idea that God believes in Himself. If He believes in Himself then He still has one believer. But then anyone of us could believe that we are God, which is why I would prefer to use the definition of God as our creator.\n\nSince you are asking 'can there be a God if...' can we first start with the assumption that there is a God, and he does have believers? If you can accept this idea, then it should be quite easy to accept that He doesn't just cease when people stop believing. He still created us, even if the creations reject him.\n\nOf course it depends what you mean by 'be'! If we don't talk about, or know about, God, then what would be the point in there 'being' a God. If he has no point, then is his existance still relevant?\n\nI've asked more questions than I have answered, but I hope this gives you something to chew on!

Can u see ur own heart.u can't. So u can't say God is not present.

God really exists. I find it so relieving that he can scoff at all our attempts to put limits on him simply because those limits apply, to some extent, to us.

He exists if you need him to exist. \n\nThere is no more proof that God exists then proof that he doesn't. \n\nDiscussing whether or not there is a God is only an argument of contrasting opinions where no one can win.

look around you, can you testify the existance of GOD and the universe?

nope, and nope\n\n   1. If God exists, then God is omnipotent, omniscient, and morally perfect.\n   2. If God is omnipotent, then God has the power to eliminate all evil.\n   3. If God is omniscient, then God knows when evil exists.\n   4. If God is morally perfect, then God has the desire to eliminate all evil.\n   5. Evil exists.\n   6. If evil exists and God exists, then either God doesn't have the power to eliminate all evil, or doesn't know when evil exists, or doesn't have the desire to eliminate all evil.\n   7. Therefore, God doesn't exist.\n\nSo it seems kinda silly to die in the name of god, right?

Well I already thought that he might not exist, but I was proven wrong by God himself as he came into my life answering my prayeri nstantly showing me the way, as I asked of him.Therefore I know  there is no way it could bre proven in any way that he didn't exist only to the contrary that he doesYou can't prove what isn't true terefore you can't prove He is not existing! Otherwise it would have been proven by now seing there are so many!trying to disprove His existance.

GOD knows you, GOD loves you, ask GOD and he will prove it.

I asked this question a little earlier, actually. What I believe is, if God exists, he doesn't know the future. Nobody does, because that knowledge is impossible to have. The future doesn't exist yet, and neither do any "future" actions. Any attempt to predict the future is simply speculation.

I've thought seriously about this...and I believe the answer to this question is the same as "Is there a God?"\n\nNo living person can ever know the 100% true answer to this question, since the only way to know is if you are dead (therefore not living...)\nBut I would like to believe that a person knows if they are about to die (if they are terminally ill, for example).

He does exist!  There's no other explanation that doesn't contradict it's self.  I'm a believer in Christ, but a lot of people are skeptic.  If you do your research, you'll find outstanding proof that God exists!
