Why do we all need God? & If no ones actually seen Him, then why Believe in Him?

I read a bit on John's stuff and I have to say that it didn't get to the question of who created the creator.  If you attempted to answer this question you would find that being created by a god is just as difficult if not more so than being created from some random source because ultimately at some point a god would have been created from some random source.\n\nThere are more emotional reasons to believe in god.  Mostly, fear and a need to answer questions in an attempt to fill the void of our non-understanding ( is that a word? I don't know, if it isn't I just made it one) of our own existance.\n\nIs there a god?  If there is a god what is it?  Who is to define this god?  Don't we first have to have some type of experience of reference to see if this god exists?  \n\nWhat if I said god was undefinable?  Or infinate.  Then, you could say that god is everything and as such cannot seperate himself from himself to expose himself and therefor, you cannot detect him unless you detect the inifinate which means to realize that you and god are one, like that jesus guy.  This is the only way I believe a god could actually exist if we're talking about an omni god that is.  If you're talking about a super being then I don't know what to tell you other than proove it.

i know that there is only one God because i have seen Him work in my life in ways that no one or nothing else could possibly do. God is amazing and you just have faith that he is real, he can change your life. do you believe in creation? if so then you must realize how amazing God really is to create such a complex world! He can do anything! i know that God is real because i see it when i look around me.

I don't feel that I need to prove my existence and I'm not nearly as powerful as God is!\n\nThe world is a big place and I live in Kansas City.  I'm not sure where the people reading this question and answer tree live, but it's pretty darned likely that I have never met any of them.  Do you believe that I exist?  Is this posting "proof" that I exist?  Could it be faked?  Sure.\n\nGod has sent us messasges through prophets.  God has worked miracles.  God has spoken to many of us.  God has answered our prayers and still people say "there is no proof" -- why is that, I ask.  Why is that.

nowhere, he's not real, he's make believe because people need something to believe in, if he was real there would only be one god and one religion, but there ain't so he can't be real

Ok, well let me start by saying that God loves and cares for you... He sent His son Jesus to become a curse for you, and pay your punishment on the cross!  Gods master plan from the beginning was to have Jesus come and reunite the jews and gentiles(non jews).  We need to believe in Jesus because by doing so, we acknowledge Gods ultimate power and glory.  We are now saved by grace, meaning we dont work to get to heaven, we just do by beliving in Jesus and that God rasied him from the dead.  Again this all shows Gods ultimate power.  Christianity is the only religion that is not by works.  We dont work to get to God because we cant work.  There is no path to God or becoming a 'god', but God has giving us Jesus as a bridge to Him!\n\n\nGod has given us so many signs and wonders that He still works today.  Think of the times that we have been at the right place at the right time, or someone encouraged us when we really need it, or just look at creation, and it all shows the glory of God.\n\nThe bible says that we walk by faith and not by sight.  (blindly as you say) but its not all blind, we have the holy spirit to guide us and teach us.  If we could see God, it wouldnt be faith at all.  God didnt want everyone to see him and worship him because he gave us freedom of the will... He didnt want us to be robots, programmed to worship Him.  He loves us enough to give us freedom:)!!!!!\n\nwell i hope this helps and answers your question a little.. God bless :)

Woo hoo, a comment clearly designed to start a big argument on here, which I don't agree with, everyone has their own opinions!\n\nHowever, I sense that the basis of your point is that there is no real hard evidence to sustain the existence of any god, which is not the same as saying he doesn't exist, but is a definite statement to say that wehave no way of knowing. \n\nSo why everyone doesn't just live their life based upon earthly things, eg looking after and revering the earth around us, rather than pinning our hopes on some concept of a higher being, I don't know. \n\n(by the way, there IS actually hard evidence to suggest that the whole idea of a god stems from a part of the human brain, which operates only to convince us of a higher power, so we feel more significant than we actually are..)

If God wanted to leave absolutely no room for anyone to doubt or try to disprove His existance and authority, He could have done. His thoughts and ways are better than ours - we'd love everyone to just have to believe - but God gives everyone the choice. People don't want it to be true that there is a God - the implications are too big. Like recognising that yes there is actually right and wrong - people don't want to go there - remember Pharohs magicians who tried to explain away the wonders that were shown them in Egypt - they didn't want to acknowlege God either - its nothing fresh!  The reality of our Eternal God who controls everything in life and death is just more than folks can take - they want to "live a good life and be happy" They don't want to know about a God who will hold us responsible what we do with our lives, it just doesn't fit with their "lifestyle choice". They will either try to logically reason a way that it could possibly have happened without needing a God or they will just instantly dismiss these realities without further thought as just "fairy tales". Don't fret. Yes some people will try to explain things in a way that ignores God, they refuse to believe - creation itself cries out! Its of no suprise in one sense ... there is going to be both the sheep and the goats. Stand firm. One day every knee will bow, and every tongue confess that He Is LORD.

Everyone needs God. But God gave us a choice on who to serve. Him or Satan. People say God gives us free will, but not so. The inly will God gives us is His holy word. The Bible. That is the will for us. the devil doesn't have a will. Therefore whoever follows him will be doomed for eternal damnation. That's why it is important to hold to God and serve him. He is the only one who sticks closer than a friend, brother, mother, father, cousin, aunt, teacher or anybody else. He's there in the good times and the bad times. He'll never leave you or forsake you. God can\ndo more than what other man made gods can't do.

Explain your question, do you want to know if God exists or why God exists?

If I weren't reborn and a reborn Christian, I'd say you gave the answer in your question and it was just a rhetorical question - that God doesn't exist, except for the god or goddess within each of us.  Since we already show ourselves to ourselves, we would just need to get in touch with our higher self within.  If we are it, that's why no outside God will appear.  However, I am recently reborn and believe what the Bibble tells me; it is the one true written and literal word of God.  So for me, as a Christian, God does show Himself in all His wonderful creations; and we see His glory manifested in the world as it is today.  Amen ;) .

if he has no consciousness how does he create everything you see around you?\nThat doesn't make much sense. Perhaps he has a consciousness but not in the sense of it being in our interests. \nLike for example we think the whole idea of God revolves around us humans. Perhaps it isn't so shallow and larger than that.\nThen again, if what you said were to be true, I suppose we would be in big trouble.

hiiii, \nwell people who dnt believe in god is numerous. still people who do believe is also quite big. but cant those people who dnt believe in god just stop and ask them selfs then from where did we come and dnt tell me we were monkies coz even if we were monkies one day still who created those monkies.\nalso there is a friend who said that if there is a god then he wouldnt let us do this in earth, well may be there tooo many bad things put as well as god created bad things he created good things he created friendship and love with all it's kinds whether between man and women, a mother to her child, between brother and sisters, arent all those things r gifts. i think life is like a big test for every one of us to see if he is going to do good or bad and those who do this horrible things they r just doing bad in that test and not the meaning of their failure is that god doenst exist.\nwell :D 4give me, I got very excited.

i believe in god because i have faith he exists based on what i see when i look in my backyard or any where, all the trees, and flowers, so many different kinds of animals, there's no other explanation\n"From the time the world was created people have seen the earth and sky and all that God made they can clearly see his invisible qualities- his eternal power, and divine nature, so they have no excuse whatsoever for not knowing God."\n-Romans 1:20

GOD HAS ALWAYS EXISTED FROM THE BEGINING ON TIMES.\n\noUR MINDS AND THINKING POWER DOES NOT PERMIT US TO COMPREHEND MORE THAT WHAT WE CAN,SO WE HAVE TOBE SATISFIED WITH WHICH ANSWER/BELIEF SUITUS INDIVIDUALLY.

God exists & for those who do not beleive they ought to research the truth but they always like to satisfy their ignorance justifying all wrong attitudes they love to adopt.\n\nWhy He created us? because He loved us. Why a woman wants to have a baby what a man wants to be a father? To love His children, see them grow, Happy, fulfilled. Then at a certain time God will rake us all home again where we belonged the first place.

God is our creator. He loves us and he sent his son to us to save our souls. You have to have Faith. He is with you all of the time whether you believe in him or not. Everyone is God's Children, all you have to do is ask him into your heart and believe in him.

The reason why they don't believe is because they have never experienced his greatness, and its ok, i mean as long we let them know thats the only way to salvation, then its up to them. I believe in God, because He has never let me down, I don't need to see him, but I have seen his greatness in my life. For the people that don't believe many times family members were taken away from them(death) or they had such a terrible up bringing, or they have different beliefs... only if u experience God in a personal level, will u actually believe he exist.. everyone can breath the bible on you, and preach u to death, but until u ask God to show you his existance u need to be ready and pay attention.
