Can you explain how God exist?
noeleena:
Hi,
So there is no ill use your term god, well why then ask if there is no god in the first place because by asking youv allready accepted there is a god, all your trying to do is say you dont belive in one,
you do by the mere fact you asked, other wise it would never come up.
And when you take that ? further what god are you talking about or reffering to,, how many 100's are there,,,,,go back to the Canaanites see how many they worshiped,
...noeleena...

Hi mickiel, that comment I believe says a lot. We all have different tendencies, some want to witness about what they believe, others have no desire to do it at all and those in between too. That is one aspect of the uniqueness we all have, it's the different dispositions that we possess.
If somebody believes something to be true, then I guess they tend to want others to share in what they know and that's not a bad thing. We're all on somewhat different journeys though and we believe what we do because of the background knowledge we have acquired so far. Maybe you will be the source of information that will help somebody believe, that's part of your journey. It's all of God.
Pro 16:9 A man's heart plans his way,
But the LORD directs his steps.
mercy, peace and love

Well I agree, witnessing is not for everybody, and I don't think its wrong not to do it, and one is not made righteous by doing it. I think its something that has to " Be in you to do." If its in you, its just going to come out of you, and that person perhaps can't hold it in them anyway. I was in the Baptist church for years in my youth, then left there and tried a few others; that did not work and I ended up doing a 10 year stint in the Worldwide Church of God. They did not do the witness thing, and I left there when they split up. So my journey has had a mixture of witnessing, and not witnessing; both. Then I evolved into just being put in situations where I just had to do it; I got tired of not doing it, no longer content in remaining silent, like I was a secret agent of the truth or someone with privileged information. I got used to sharing what I believe and have not looked back. I don't condemn others if they don't do it, nor do I pat myself on the back for doing it.
I just do it; and have done it for years. I hold no regrets.
I spread this truth as I understand it; with great Joy in sharing it, and have learned a great deal sharing it. I have learned how many people hate this truth, many are surprised by it, and some amazed by it. Jesus was an excellent example of sharing truth, he did not horde it to himself. He took no worry of who understood it, and he did both; he shared with believers and unbelievers alike. Often teaching just his disciples at times, and just anybody who was there at times. He perhaps did not have a whole lot of private time to himself, but I don't think Jesus was sent to earth to be a private eye individual who was into only his group. He was destined to be a world Savior, a man for all peoples. He had to address everyone, because he died for everyone and everyone will benefit from that.
No, I can't go the " Quiet path", its way too much to say and way too many people to say it to. But I understand the quiet laid back path, the ' Come out from among them mentality." I see nothing wrong with that, its just not for me. I live among them, work among them and communicate with them everyday. Have married them, had children by them, and walked with " Them" all my life. So I won't come out from among them, I just will not be a part of their beliefs and practices. But I have many friends in their churches and many of my people are in them.
So yes, to each their own.

I personally believe there is only one God who is the source of all things, there is a god of this earth, and many human created gods. That's how it breaks down in my view. I think the question, " Is there a God?", is an excellent question; to which I believe are many answers to, and many mystery's as well. Men have asked that question for years, and I think rightly so. Many humans just sense there IS something to it; and I totally believe that God IS; and is worth looking into.

Here is something Ray said about telling only those who ask you.

I can see Rays point and I agree with it; I just happen to be in a place where I get asked a lot, but I am not limited to just being asked. I have posted on so many websites over the last 15 years, I just communicate with a lot of people. And I enjoy the freedom of posting on those sites, and have started many threads on the truth, without being asked. But just as many from being asked; so again, I understand both, but am not limited to either. Its just been a different path. Rays way is not the only way, but its a good way; and I understand his way of seeing things.

In explaining how God exist, The Law of Mentality can be used, the universe is a Mental creation. The Law of Perpetual Transmutation, God can be explained, energy is in a constant state of change. Morality can explain God, how could morality have created itself? The Fossil record can explain God creating. Biblical Archaeology can help explain God; The fall of Nineveh as predicted by the prophets Nahum and Zephaniah ( 2:13-15), found recorded on the " Tablet of Nabopolasar." The fall of Jerusalem to Nebuchadnezzar King of Babylon, ( 2 Kings 24:10-14), as found recorded on the Babylonian Chronicles. The siege of Lachish by Sennacherib ( 2 Kings 18:14,17), as discovered recorded on the Lachish Reliefs. Solid recorded history that is recorded in the bible as well.
Consciousness can be used to explain God, consciousness cannot arrive from mere matter; we can be aware of God, conscious of him; and he gave us consciousness to help govern our behavior. With it we have a degree of reflection. We can think about God, and accept or reject what the world has to say about him. I think Consciousness is what Col. 3:10-11 means by Christ is all and in all; all humans are conscious, and in Jesus is the collective thought of God, the concerns and intrests of God, and he is interested in everybody's future.
I even personally think that Consciousness is the image of God, which in no manner could have created itself, or just evolved from nothing. These are some of the things that make God and reality so interesting to me; not knowing and wanting so bad to know; wanting to be more aware of God.
