Is trying to find God blasphemous?

Trying to find God is not blasphemous.  It fact, God is quite easy to find---he is standing next to you.  All you have to do is reach out and touch him with your heart, and he will expose himself to you and never leave you.

You are no different from an atheist. Hanging your believe on mere iron with the suppossed inage of Jesus. He warned you against imaging.\nIf you are truly sincere about God, go search deeper.

This question is asked often on here.  I will tell you what I have said before.\n\nIf I am wrong about being an atheist, and I stand before god, I will hold my head up. I'll say "I looked for you harder than anybody I know. I read the bible in its original languages. I prayed for hours and hours. If you know all, you know how sincerely I looked. If you can chuck me into hell, knowing that, then I go with a clear conscience. Because I wouldn't want to share eternity with a being who could torment ANYone for eternity. Let alone someone who looked for him so hard."\n\nI would rather go to hell with a clear conscience and a pure heart than go to heaven because I chose out of fear.

Obviously you are soul searching.\n\nThe true God is the one who created all the beauties seen and unseen.  In his time, he will reveal himself to you.  Just be patient.

Hello, I am confused at the question, but if you are asking if God will forgive you of your past of your unbelief, before you believed, yes. If we come to Him and ask with a sincere heart, He no longer remembers our transgressions... If you are wondering if God will forgive you after you believe, and no longer believe in Him... you will be held accountable, just like every unbeliever. \n\nIt is up to us to seek and search God out, and once we find Him to continue searching, always drawing nearer to God. \n\nIt was good that you had someone that could help you understand, but with that teacher being in a position of power, it is highly unhealthy for the both of you to continue your friendship. If he is looking out for your Christian walk, he should have made it clear for you to find a church, perhaps at his recommendation, and even introduce you to his pastor and elders and leave you in thier capable hands. It is too easy for tender young babes in Christ ( yes, I am am still considered one...) to gain an attachment to ones who hold so much more knowledge about God that we tend to put them on a pedestle or become attached emotionally to them. \nYou have the tools, and God does expect once we are led to Him, to continue the journey with Him. Ask God to lead you further... pray, and seek the members of a church. If you are sencere in your search, God will forgive anything that you ask of Him, provided that you do your best to lay that "sin" down... \nIt is not uncommon for those seeking God, falter, and say " I tried it, it wasn't for me" I urge you not give up searching God until you exauhsted every avenue. It is hard, and some people do not like the journey, it's too hard and long of a road... \nIf there is one person through them, you became a Christian, then there are others out there, to take over, and answer questions he perhaps cannot, you just have to search long and hard. \n\nIf you need to chat, or would like to have any conversations concerning Christianity, please feel free to use my email. \nGod Bless,\nAlways look up, and never give up.

I have spent some time think about this, and I have al so spent a lot of time reading the Bible, and after a lot of thought I find that God is not fair.\nThere is too much blood shead an death, that is not realy need for him to be fair, and when you see what is going on in the world to day, you would be MAD to say he is a just God.

Yes, if you didn't question His existance every now and then, then I would have to question whether you believe in Him or are just following what others have told you to believe. Questioning is a part of being human - curiostity, you must think logically and a lot of matters to do with good are not always logical, but I think that these matters are outside of our realm of understanding and I figure that it may be for the best. So yes I believe in God (don't really fear Him as much as some people) but I think it is healthy to question His existance to create a better, stronger belief.

If Krishna is a neighbor, then that's fine. But if it is to love and serve as God, to find truth, or to worship then you are in trouble my friend. If you want to go to a destination, say Key West, you must first move toward that direction, and take the only road that leads you there, for all others roads will not get you there. And so it is with truth for God is not relative, for neither is truth. Any Religion will not take you to God. Religion is mans way to God, Christianity is Gods way to man. Jesus Christ said "I am the truth, the light, the way and that no one comes to the Father but through him" Some may call that narrow minded, but no one ever claimed to be who he was, then proved what he claimed to be. We all shall stand before God and give account of our lives, what we did with what God blessed us with, and the most important question is what we did with the truth of his word by receiving Jesus Christ, his son as the supreme love of our life. The odds of dying are still 1:1. We all shall receive eternal life, many  in heaven who accepted Christ, and others in hell whom rejected him. Jesus Christ is the only way to Heaven. Please give Christ the chance to reveal himself in his word, he will never let you down, leave you, nor forsake you. Christ's Blessings, John

starcameo,\n\nI am very surprised and pleased that you have admitted your struggle in such a public forum. The fact that you are open minded in your search for truth is great.\n\nI am hesitant to offer advice because if you conduct a legitimate search for truth, you will find it. I searched for truth myself. Since I found the truth, I have confined my search for truth to the Bible and to God Himself. After all, it doesn’t make sense to search in all the other places any more because I have already found the truth.\n\nThis is the only advice that I will give you. Find a place where you can be alone and ask God out loud if He is real to reveal Himself to you. Then wait. It could be immediate – it could be a while, but God wants to know you much more than you want to know Him. He may send people across your path, or He may approach you in some supernatural way, but He will reach out to you if you ask Him to. If you are really desperate to find God, just go ahead and ask Jesus to save you.\n\nPlease contact me when God reveals Himself to you, and let me know how He did it. At that point, if you like, I can tell you the best ways to renew your mind.\n\nGod bless.

I think that we all struggle in our faith one way or another. Questioning God's existence doesn't really cross most of our minds. We may question why He allows things to happen or we may even question our own Christian walk and our relationship with God. My pastors -and I've had a few in my life -haven't been perfect. In fact there was one who was my Dad's boss that treated his underlings shabbily and used the church vehicle for personal business. I think he may've even taken some of the better donations given to the church for his own. I do know that he was eventually caught by his bosses with his hand in the cookie jar and in adultery. He was speedily fired. As for weird things in a worship service? I recall visiting a Charismatic service to see what it was like. I met one of those pastors who held rather rambunctious healing services. You know the type.; they call you forward for healing even though you haven't volunteered or asked for it. He claimed -a few times- to be given a word of knowledge about some type of secret sin in some person's life. I found this made me extremely uncomfortable because I do not believe that God would humiliate an individual in this manner. Nor do I think that Jesus would compel anyone to come for healing. God is a Gentleman, and He never forces Himself on anybody. Neither should His servants

Yes, I try the spirits to see if they are of God.  If you have the Holy Ghost, you can tell a good spirit from a bad one.  Your spirit will bear witness to that fact.  I truly believe you need to try the spirits.  I do believe that Jesus Christ was God in the flesh.

Avoid the false teachings of churches. They set people up. They preach and teach prosperity and blessings and then when it doesn't happen the people fall hard. True relations with God are quite different and not easy but the comfort is there. If you are truly seeking out God and need to talk you can e-mail me through my below website. I can't promise that I can help, but I try and genuinely care. I also am very busy but try to check e-mail daily. If not and I don't hear from you then best wishes in your life.

i think overall, No.\nhave i ever pondered this same question, i have.\ni think for some, they so want to see the good in others, that they fail to remember  that the enemy is alive and well, and working hard.  he's got some very ungodly tricks up his sleeve. he's ruthless and ugly, and im sure its not beyond him to deliver false prophets, and why shouldnt he, he's satan.\n\nWhat we need to focus on is who God is. We know He isnt a liar, or a fake. He does not manipulate or push. When we focus on Him and cover ourselves in the blood, we are protected. Period. and we can accept that, because that is Gods promise.\nWe can pray for and are given "DISCERNMENT". Period.\nif you have doubts or questions they can all be found and answered in the word of God, the Bible.
