Let's look at some common questions about whether God exists or not

•  
• If God really does exist, surely Science and Technology are proving that God is a myth  

• If God is around how come we can't see him?

• Why does God let man's inhumanity to man continue?

• Why would a loving God, allow all the suffering in the world?,

• Why do all the babies die in wars and why is there so much pain, suffering and why are people starving all over the world?

• If there really were a God, wouldn't he sort everything out?

To look at the question of whether God exists, or if he really is a myth, we must ask the question, what evidence do we have that he does not exist, the answer is none!
 
To simply say that we do not believe God exists, is to leave ourselves in a stale mate position of no discussion, but more than this it would be to close our minds off to the possibility that he does exist. That would be narrow minded and shallow, you owe it to yourself, to find out if he is real, why, well for one thing your future and eternity may depend upon it

If God exists who is He?
There are almost as many opinions about who God is as there are sands on the sea shore, yet every opinion is just that, an opinion of who mankind thinks that God is.

The religions of the world attempt to answer all of life's questions and to give reason and meaning to the unexplained., they are mans attempt at explaining who God is. In addition  there is a belief by some that they are atheist and they conclude that they don't believe in God and that therefore God does not exist.

To say that someone or something does not exist simply because I don't believe it is as futile as saying I don't believe that a man called Pedro Gonzalez is alive and well in Mexico because I have never seen him or that radio waves do not exist because I have never seen them, sight is not a good indicator of existence.

For this reason we cannot look to Science and Technology to answer the question does God exist because they deal with what can be seen, touched, measured and tested

It is a wasted exercise to say that we don't believe in anything until we see it. To believe in nothing is impossible we all believe in something, so to say that we don't believe in God what we are really saying is that we believe in something, or someone else

The best that we can conclude if we say that God does not exist is to conclude that in my finite brain, inside my head, God does not exist, for it is impossible at this point in time to know the far reaches of the galaxy and beyond and is therefore just as impossible for me to say that God does not exist, but what I would really be saying is that for me God does not exist and thereby hangs the problem

So lets us look at the evidence that he may exist, the prime evidence is the Bible, the word of God. Now why is it the word of God, can't it be myth, or part true and part fiction.

One thing we need to do, we must either totally reject the word of God as fantasy, which would then bring us round to the point we reached above, no discussion. Or we must totally accept that the Bible is indeed what it says it is the very Word of God.

After all if it is part true and part false, who is the one to decide which bits are true and which bits are false?

So let us assume for the sake of progressing in the discussion that The Bible, the Word of God is indeed true, now we can set the ground rule based on the Word of God. that all Scripture is God breathed, which means we have to look at and consider every word in the Bible, not just consider some bits and reject others

So let's look at who God is according to his Word

•God is not a man that He should lie.  •God is not the author of confusion.  •If God said it He will bring it to pass, and if He spoke it He will surely do it.  •God is not divided; He will not say  one thing  and do something contrary to what He says.  Let the Word of God be the final authority.  

So Why can't we see God, why doesn't he just reveal himself to all

The Word of God, declares that God is all around us

God is Spirit and as such he is invisible to the naked eye, but visible to the spirit eye.

So what does God look like, Jesus says if you have seen me, you have seen the Father

So by getting to know Jesus, who is the Word of God, we will at the same time come to know Our Heavenly Father, our God.

Which is why Jesus says, no man comes to the Father, except through me. Notice he did not say by me, for it is through beginning to know Jesus personally, that we come.

That is not a proud and arrogant boast, saying that all religions are wrong., it is simply stating what the word of God says, that Jesus came to earth, died, rose again and by and through him, we can have a real relationship with a real Father

You may have heard the phrase eternal life, as if it is a promise for some select few, who choose the way of a select religion. But the truth is we all have eternal life, through an eternal spirit that will live forever, but we get to choose where we spend eternity? heaven or hell, because hell was never intended for us, but if we want to go there it is our free choice, we have free will, The Father wants us to spend eternity with him, but he will not force us.

Jesus is in heaven, but he sent someone to teach us lead us and guide us, as to how we can have this personal and intimate relationship with the Father, through Jesus His Son.

That someone is called the Holy Spirit, he is also a real person  and he is here on earth to reveal the truth of God's word, Jesus to us. That we might know the truth and the truth will make us free , the truth is Jesus, he is the truth.

So isn't the fact that there are three persons confusing, how do we know who is who?

I am glad you asked that it used to bother me as well.

But the answer is as stated in the Word of God that we might come to know him and the truth of his resurrection, we know God, through Jesus, by the Holy Spirit.

So if God is all around, why is the world in such a mess, why does God let man's inhumanity to man continue?

To answer this, firstly we must look at the way we think

TRADITIONAL THINKING

Most of what we think of as original thought, is handed down from previous generations

In our thinking, many times it seems as if God is not there, as though he does not and cannot exist, because everything that we see around us seems go contrary to what he is saying in his Word.

The awesome truth is that God does not exist in our thinking, God exists in a realm above our natural thinking, his thoughts and his ways are higher, God wants to draw us up into his higher thoughts and his ways, far above natural low thinking.

But all the time we constantly want to bring God down to our level, our way of thinking, to understand him and box him into a slot. But God says, I have been down on your level once, Now come up to my level into where miracles happen.

We cannot find God in own thinking, he is not there and yet he is always there, ready and willing to make himself known

We are not talking about religion here, we are talking about someone who will change your life, by the demonstration of his power, so that you will prove for yourself, God's goodness, by the evidence of total change in your life

For this is God's purpose that the Son of God gave up his right to be the Son of God, to come to earth and be the Son of Man, so that the sons and daughters of men could become the sons and daughters of God.

Consider what the Bible says in Isaiah 5:3  the fool says in his heart, there is no God

The first step toward knowing God, and to see him Jesus is to be born again
