Is god is real

I believed once but no-longer believe why would I want to believe in a God that allows such horrific acts to take place and allows people suffer so much.

***natural disasters, diseases, etc... are all because of the sin thats in the world. ***

Right, the old blame the victim mentality. Explain, please, why your god couldn't abate these things without affecting your precious free will?

***and maybe he doesn't do anything about the 'suffering and cruelty that isn't caused by humans' cause maybe it's supposed top happen***

Right. People in third-world countries are supposed to die in appalling numbers of AIDS, collora, and other preventable diseases. Since everything bad is somebody's fault, I guess people in third world countries are just much more evil than the rest of us, right?

it's not that God allows 'horrific acts' to happen it's just that when he made us he gave us free will. meaning he can't infere with certain things in our lives cause if he did that would mean he would be going back on his word. however, if we ever need guidance for anything all we need to do is pray and he will tell us what we should do

and things in our lives happen for a reason. every decision we make in our lives affects us different ways. they could affect us positively or negatively

so to answer your question, yes God IS real

no.

Irishtomboy, You said things happen for a reason well I don't believe that I things happen because they happen. Sense you believe they happen for a reason then tell me this? For what reason would a wife cheat beg for forgiveness then do it again what is the reason for that? Other then to make the husband suffer and deal with the hurt again.

God is very real. God created us with the desire to have a relationship with us. Because of his holy nature we are separated from God by sin. This sin also ruined Gods perfect creation and initial plan. The rest of our time on Earth has been spent with God giving us a way that through our free will we can come back to him when we leave this imperfect world. When Joseph was sold into slavery in Egypt by his brothers it was a despicable act. But later Joseph states (as the #2 man in Egypt) That what his brothers meant for evil God had used for good. God doesn't cause or allow evil. Man caused it to exist in the realm in which we live. But once Evil is there wouldn't an almighty, perfect, righteous God then be obligated to use the already present evil in the world as a way to shape and grow and prosper those that accept and love him? Of Course he would and he does. Furthermore a wife's actions are her own and she is capable of causing a husband great harm as my ex wife has caused me. I could have been angry at God and Asked him why but come to find out She has a new man and is Cheating on him as well. God used that pain in order to show me that she was a trifflin ho. And now I am pleasantly engaged to a woman who is the sweetest best woman I have ever met hands down. I had a choice to be mad at God or to Search for his goodness inside of the evil that my ex had thrust upon me. Free will plays a huge part in what happens in our lives. God being outside of the realm of time can see what we will choose and has everything planned out for us. But evil was caused because we chose to reject God in the Beginning and we have been paying the price ever since. Thank God for the hope of a better life in Christ Jesus, during this life and the next.

god? what god? lol no shemale's not real. think like this,, when religion was made back then, they believed in anything, before they believed in like 100 gods, now they believe in one god, just take him away. jesus is not gods son. it really doesnt matter who created the first thing in the universe, what matters is that we explore the whole universe to see what the hell we're doing in this big gigantic universe. and dont let them convince you that god is real..or you will go to hell...lol XD

wow Dude thats not the Broad History of World religion at all. Get a textbook and read some before you start blabbing about things you don't know about. think logically. We have many different theories and beliefs in the world today how is it that we automatically know what every single person in the world believed back then??? Blanket statements are ignorant and not scientifically sound. as one of the major points of science being that it cannot prove a universal negative. but I digress. Monotheism was a very prominent belief back in the beginning of Indigenous religion, however it just was not as prevalent in the ancient world as polytheistic beliefs. Not only does your argument of God not existing not make sense it is Scientifically Impossible to prove. While on the other hand proving God's existence in the Universe or in a different realm can be quantified in at least some sense by Science borrowed from psychology namely through Behavioralistic, Structuralistic and Gestaltic Researching methods. Perhaps before telling someone that if they Believe a God exists they will go to hell you should get some facts straight and have evidence and reasoning to support your claims.

I dont know I mean religion is ok I guess but I think religion was just created to help people get through life. I mean seriousely it does help thinking when you die you go to heaven. I hope that there is. but I personally dont believe in god.

god is true believe me )

***it's not that God allows 'horrific acts' to happen it's just that when he made us he gave us free will. meaning he can't infere with certain things in our lives cause if he did that would mean he would be going back on his word.***

What about natural disasters? Disease? Nature? Being omnipotent, why doesn't he prevent the vast amount of suffering and cruelty that isn't caused by humans?

***This sin also ruined Gods perfect creation and initial plan.***

Kind of short-sighted of an omnipotent being, eh?

I have to say it is very hard to believe when so much bad stuff happens!...but then again its weird because when times get tough...we turn around and pray!!!
But the question if he is real I think can never be answered.

Shouldn't a person be able to choose, if they think God is real or not. Everybody has different answers and thinks different. Like, I don't believe in god, but I won't say he isn't real, because it just can't be proven.^^

God is very real. he made you and me and everybody else!!! the bible says that he made adam and eve. try to read teh bible

***the bible says that he made adam and eve***

The bible also says that bats are birds and that the earth was created in six days, along with many other absurdities. That doesn't make it correct.

What about natural disasters? Disease? Nature? Being omnipotent, why doesn't he prevent the vast amount of suffering and cruelty that isn't caused by humans?

natural disasters, diseases, etc... are all because of the sin thats in the world.
and maybe he doesn't do anything about the 'suffering and cruelty that isn't caused by humans' cause maybe it's supposed top happen

Thats ignorant to think that People from a certain part of the world are more corrupt and evil than anyone else. People are all equally in the same boat. The diseases and death in other countries is part of the reason why people in those countries are turning to Christ at record pace. Because they realize that God is providing them a way out of the mess we put ourselves in even if that way out doesn't come until after this life. At the same time do you not also realize that the major Problem in this country is arrogant and greed which in turn, blinds people from the truth and causes this to be the only continent in which Christianity is shrinking. Does that mean we are smarter because most of the country is rejecting God??? No it makes us an arrogant for thinking that we know better than the rest of the world who believes in at least some sort of God, gods or higher power. It amazes me that someone who is willing to admit that they are not all-knowing, all-powerful, or all present in the universe would be able to tell God who is all 3 of those attributes, that he is wrong, short sited and inferior as a creator. Being all powerful does not Mean the freedom to do whatever you please. Having a pure Holy nature God, is bound to do what is right and just. He cannot go against his nature or his promises. I believe it is amazingly merciful that God has given us an option to continue living in a type of world that has been totally screwed up by us and then to reap our own consequences. Or the option to live as a Vacationer to this Earth with the promise of Getting a new Perfect body, and perfect place to live, a place where we can't screw it up and can live in this utopia we are all wanting and searching for while we are here on this earth.

***Thats ignorant to think that People from a certain part of the world are more corrupt and evil than anyone else.***

I was being sarcastic to illustrate my point: If you honestly believe that misfortune is due to evil, and some regions suffer from more misfortune than others, then the logical conclusion is that those regions must be more evil than others. This is part of why the blame the victim theory is so repugnant.

***The diseases and death in other countries is part of the reason why people in those countries are turning to Christ at record pace.***

Ah, so God's letting all those people suffer and die because it'll cause more people to worship him? That seems pretty, well, evil.

***It amazes me that someone who is willing to admit that they are not all-knowing, all-powerful, or all present in the universe would be able to tell God who is all 3 of those attributes, that he is wrong, short sited and inferior as a creator.***

Actually, I don't believe God - any of them - actually exists at all. But if he did, the God described in the Bible isn't a very nice sort at all - certainly nothing I would want to worship. In my book, being able to prevent suffering without inconvenience to yourself, and failing to do so, is evil - no two ways about it.

god is real...you should never stop believing in god...god doesnt make horrific things happen...the horrific thing come from evil which is the devil...god is a powerful god and when you have nobody there for you he is the only one who will always be there for you even though you cant see him...and he doesnt let people suffer...but so people wont suffer they need to walk right with god because gods way is the right way...even though sometimes its hard to walk with god...you just need to trust him and try your hardest to do good and not bad

yes God is real

adam and eve were probably white, where did the asians, blacks, indians, and all the other people come from?

to answer that there was a historian named Josephus who lived back then and he recorded things that aren't in the bible. and adam and eve weren't neccessarily white. you see adam I guess actually means 'red' and it is believed he had reddish skin and eve could have possibly been black.
and back then people lived a lot longer than we do now. heck they were known to live up to 950 years., but because of sin throughout the world over generations that number has decreased and is the reason why people of today don't live that long.
Anyway adam and eve had 56 children during their lifetime. Some were black skinned, some had red hair, some were white, some even had slanted eyes and yellowish skin. and this would be how the others races like the asians, indians, blacks, etc came into the picture.

Also later on three men: Shem, Ham, and Japeth (Noahs sons) were each known as the father of something.

Shem: Father of the Asians
Ham: Father of the Blacks
Japeth: Father of the Europeans
