Truth: either God exists or He don't.

[Audie]

God exist yes

"... exists, yes,"

I agree with Rival.

The OP is asking the implications of the assumption that God exists. Some people believe that God is only Love. Some people believe that God is more than Love.

If a person believes that God is only Love then their reaction to the assumption that this God exists will be different than a person who believes that God is more than Love.

For example, if a person believes that God is only Love, and they assume this God exists, then this person may believe that the feeling of Love is the divine ordained purpose of life. The person seeks love and exherts their love on others. This would be a different reaction than someone who believes God is more than Love and assumes that this God exists. The reaction in this case would be more balanced and seeking the feeling of emotional love would be less likely to be the dominant motivation in their lives.

I think he was asking YOU what you think. (Asking each of us.)

Truth: either God exists or He don't.
What difference does it make, and who cares?

I think he was asking YOU what you think. (Asking each of us.)

And that's what Rival answered. You asked why?

 

[danieldemol]

rust me, if people did not see this response of mine, they will eventually bring these incoherent questions. Its inevitable.

I disagree, they are coherent, logical and relevant questions to ask in my opinion.

 

[blü 2]

But! What if He does?

I've never been able to find out what real thing (thing not entirely conceptual / imaginary) the word "God" is intended to denote.

So what if WHAT, exactly, exists?

Of course they are, in your opinion.

 

[PureX]

And that's what Rival answered.

That wasn't an answer, it was a question.

 

[capumetu]

Then He does.

But what if He doesn’t?

Simple, eat, drink, and be merry, as that is all you got

 

[Revoltingest]

What if God exists, but vanishes in a puff of logic?

 

[capumetu]

Well it depends which God, first.

The God I promote is Jehovah

 

[capumetu]

Which God? Thor?

The God I witness about is Jehovah

 

[capumetu]

What do you see as the "value added" provided by this thread?

Hi Jay, primarily to get people to think about what they might be losing out on if He exists. Perhaps then they might seek Him to a greater degree.

 

[capumetu]

I imagine since he capitalized ‘God’ as well as the pronoun, he means the God of Abraham.

That and he’s a JW.

Yes sir, you would be correct.

 

[capumetu]

I wonder how you would reply to such a question.

I replied to it by accepting a relationship with Him.

 

[capumetu]

You mean She don't you?

Not at all. Jehovah is referred to in the masculine gender

 

[capumetu]

If we're just trying to prove who's better than whom then I'll have to pass. OTOH if we're seriously interested what we really need to know is what kind of God we're talking about --which quickly should go past rejecting unbelieveable gods to simply accepting one that's believable, and that takes us to what we want to do about it all.

The Bible does say sir that there are many gods, the God I am referring to would be the creator of all things, who gave us life.

Hi Jay, primarily to get people to think about what they might be losing out on if He exists. Perhaps then they might seek Him to a greater degree.

Pascal's Wager is a seriously flawed argument. In my opinion, trying to get people to think about it again is anything but value added.

 

[capumetu]

Personally i think he/she/it would have some very searching questions to answer, not least of which woukd be, "where have you been while the world is going to hell in a hand basket? Is it that you couldn't care in the slightest for your "claimed" greatest creation? And whats the gig with childhood leukaemia?

All very good questions maam, you wonder why God allows suffering. When Adam and Eve chose to be their own god, God allowed them to do so. I think He handled it very wisely, as you yourself recognize that they and their progeny have done a very poor job. He however will let us go to the point of extinction and then step in Mat 24:22, so there will be no doubt that we need Him as our God.

Can you think of a better way to have handled the situation that He chose?

 

[capumetu]

Of course God exists it is my belief, but we must respect the views of those who disagree.

I believe, If you left all the materials for the construction of a house such as stone, wood, iron etc and left it for a thousand years it would decay. Although all the resources required for a house be present, without a builder would it self construct? Some maintain that randomly, without any intelligence required whatsoever, the house would build itself and that even the human body constructed its own design and functioning.

I believe that Nature itself is proof that it didn’t just miraculously happen but was developed by a Supreme Intelligence. Every item you have in your house was made by someone. If I told you your television was as a result of evolution of the components, that they combined themselves and became a tv, would you believe me?

It is my firm belief that everything has a maker including the universe. It didn’t just create itself. Every atom in existence is proof of God, I believe. Did the sun just decide it would be 96 million miles from earth so this planet could sustain life? What about gravity so we can walk on the earth? So many things just have to be in place, scientific laws - for us to exist. Just my personal belief.

Very great post sir! I fully agree, hope all is well in the beautiful down under.
