This life is but a test. God right now is testing your faith. Think about it if people did not believe than no one would do goog. Also look around you there are lots of signs like how everything is made and the miracle of life. If you don't believe than you have nothing tolook forward to after death and than what if the hell exists your pretty much screwed then. So god is always testing you. In this life believe in god and god gives you little signs of him but you'll see the truth through the inevitable death. Just believe in himand  his oneness

Sure, why not?  Who is to say with any precision what happens after this life?  I have no personal rememberances of any past life, but then I don't recall what I did in June either.  \n\nMany claim that since the Bible does not endorse reincarnation directly, then reincarnation does not exist.  However, the Bible may imply it, indirectly, in three instances in the Gospels, (if I recall...LOL)  And with hundreds of millions of non-Christians, non-Muslims and non-Jewish people around the world, reincarnation is an accepted fact of life; to Hindus, to Buddhists.  \n\nAny one person answering this question, with a definite Yes, or a definite No, is just parroting what they have been told, since they cannot objectively document it.  \nIt wouldn't surprise me, if God utilized reincarnation.  \nTo say otherwise, is an example of me circumscribing God in my image.  I can't wait to see the end of this excellent movie called "Life".... or is there any end........?

I am not sure what you're actually asking here, Franklin. I hope I'm reading you correctly, but I think you're asking why God doesn't "answer" more directly? (a very common question)\n\nI have often struggled with this same question...but when I get still and stay silent, read his word, ask for more of God's presence and nearness, there is a definite peace. Some of the questions I've asked him have not been answered, of course...but then, that makes God "God", right? If we knew all the answers, there wouldn't be the space between us and God, right? When I finally realized that there would have to be some sort of mystery in order for God to be God and for faith to be faith, it began to make more sense to me.\n\nGood luck and great question. I think God appreciates our questions, too.\n\nHave you read: "Disappointment with God" by Philip Yancey? Give it a try, it's a great book.

The way i look at it there are people out there that say why believe in something that couldn't be true? i say why shouldn't you? some people will go thier whole life not believing to find out GOD IS REAL and then spend eternal life in hell. or they could simply have the belief in Him and when they die IF He wasn't real what did they lose? nothing. but he is there and there is an eternal wonderful life that is so perfect. so the people who don't beleive come out as a loss

God has no beginning and no end. I know this is hard to imagine but it is true. Nobody created him. God has been and will always be. Don't ponder on this to much you'll drive yourself crazy wondering how this is possible but it is true.

I noticed people become more believing when they get older...I think for a lot of people the thought that when you die, you cease to exist is difficult to comprehend, so there must be a God overseeing the afterlife...

Ok your question makes no sense, but is interesting. There is more to life after death than a "hereafter." There's a heaven and hell, and yes, both are real.\nI'm sorry for you that you don't believe in the God I know. I don't worry about my life because I know I'm taken care of.

Dear Lovesto,\nI do beleive there is a God. Imagine a painting, how can you know there was a painter? The painting is ample proof there was a painter, all you need is eyes that can see and a brain that works. How about a Building? how do we know there was a Builder? The Building is obviously evidence there was a builder. Look around you, do you see the birds?\ndo you see the blue sky wiht sunshine? The Bible say's all of this is created by God so that we might realize he exist and is real. God revealed himself in another way also. \nDo you know how? Lets look at the Ten commandments......\n\n1. Have you ever lied?\n2. Have you ever stolen?\n3. Have you ever looked at someone and lusted?\n4. Have you ever used God or Jesus as a cuss word?\n\nThe Bible says when we die we will stand before God on Judgement day. When we stand before God we will be judged for every thought word and deed, if God Judges you by the Ten Commandments will you be innocent or guilty? Listen to your conscience, you know you are guilty. The Bible says that there are no humans that have kept the Commandments perfectly. The problem is that if you stand before God on Judgement day Guilty, God will have to punish you In Hell because he is Holy and just. Thats not Gods will, he provided a way to Forgive you, He sent Jesus to die on the cross for all of your sins. He payed the penalty for you. Repent and trust Jesus  as your Lord and savior and you will be Granted eternal Life.

That's more a question for the Philosophy section.  In the Religion section, you're speaking to people who believe... and are therefore not likely to believe God is anything but Truth.\n\nBut to answer the question more directly, we have no way of knowing.  There's no palpable proof of God, but no one knows if there's a God or not.  Maybe so, maybe no.  We'll either find out or blink out, eventually.  My guess is that we'll sort of be non-sentient energy that eventually goes back into something living.  But you might get to be part of a star first, or churn through a volcano.\n\nBut no one knows.  People have faith and believe they know, but no one knows for sure one way or the other.  :)

I for one can not prove that when I die there will be no afterlife, but yes after reviewing all the evidence I see none for God.  \n\nWhy do I exist?  I don't know, who cares. \n\nFor me I know that I am alive and what makes me happy while I am.\n\nI have a child at home who is 3.  I love him and he loves me. I have a wife (shes a Jesus believer) and I love her and she loves me.\n\nSo that is what keeps me going, my family.\n\nIn terms of God, I have asked for God to make himself real to me. If Jesus can do this for Thomas in the Bible, surely he can do the same for me.

If God is dead then we should all be gone right now!  Those who said God is dead are ignorant of the Bible or least we say, ungrateful and unappreciative to the many wonderful blessings and miracles God showered upon us whether we love or hate Him.  That is God's justice to mankind.  He will let good people do good and the wicked do wickedness if they want because this way, God will be able to determine if His judgment is justified.  He does not force anyone to believe Him nor He is a dictator.  You can be whoever you want to be.  And to the last question if these people are right. Definitely no.  For believing that God is dead they are really putting shame on their faces.  What made you believe there is no God or God is dead?  You just look at your face in the mirror, do you know how complex and complicated your face was engineered? And that no one can do that only God can.

I don't think God is real, I know God is real because I had what they now call a Near-Death Experience (N.D.E.) at the age of 12 in 1972 that convinced me beyond a shadow of a doubt.  Since then, due to spiritual study and practice, I've had numerous Out-of-Body Experiences (O.B.E.s) in which I've actually been conscious of my spirit leaving my physical body.  I have a B.S. degree Magna Cum Laude, was a member of Outstanding College Students of America, a College-Bowl All Star (like "Jeopardy" except for college students), and was a professional journalist for many years.  Don't believe some of the misguided and egotistical scientists and college professors who believe and teach that this physical/material life is the proverbial "whole ball of wax," because to put it bluntly, "It ain't!"  God (The Divine, Source, etc.) does exist, and you are an immortal spiritual being having a temporary physical learning experience on the Earth.

Everyone has their own beliefs, so there for many say God isn't real. It's all about ones religion.

The Devil is not at his door, not anywhere except in your imagination, Abdul. He probably will not die, though definitely doesn't deserve to (no one does), but if he does, the reason is not because "God" wants him to (God doesn't exist), it is because he was hit by a car, had a heart attack, was killed, or many of the hundreds of other reasons that people die of. No one ever died because "God" wanted them to.

God is always here. he is walking right beside you. even though you may not be able to see him he is there. it is called faith and when you have it you have the capacity to believe in something that is not tangible. he created the universe, but he is still here. when we die true believers will go to heaven and worship Him forever. he will always be there forever and ever. i would suggest that you explain the truth to your friend in a nice and understanding way. he obviously needs help and guidance and you seem like just the person to do it. good luck with that and i will pray for you. \n\nnsrunner16@yahoo.com\n\nnsrunner16@yahoo.com

Something has to be eternal, perhaps! Some say it is God, some say it is the energy-matter stuff or nature. I know that I don't know the answer. I would like to leave it that way. \n\nSome people believe in God or a supernatural power. Such people are in the modern educated populations of Christian, Islam and other religions as well as many tribal populations. There are also atheists in different pockets of the world. But in today's context, it would be perhaps ignorant, and even dangerous, to think whatever  'I'  believe is the only truth and hence everyone should believe the same (sorry to stray, but have seen this tendency in many questions/answers here). \n\nMany of us believe in exploring the truth in our own limited way, some of us don't care how it all started and many find answer in God-concept. So be it. We should try to understand each other's thinking and hence it is a valid question. But I don't think there should be any conflict.\n\n---\nWhen I started writing, Emmiboo didn't post .. I should perhaps learn to type faster..!
