If you believe God Exists tell me why, If you don't, tell me why not?

There is a difference in believing and knowing. I know that God exist because He put His Spirit in me testifying of His existence.

Many people believe that God exist but they don't know it. You can believe that something exist but when you see it there is no more need to believe for you have seen it. Well I have seen God and I know that He is who He says He is. You may say that I am crazy but I have seen God. As a matter of fact every true born again Christian has seen God and does not have to believe because they know. Now figure that out.

As born again Christians we have two sets of eyes while the world only has one set. We have physical eyes and spiritual eyes and see things that the world can not see. That's how I know that God Exist because I have seen Him through spiritual eyes.

Many read the Bible but they don't see it through spiritual eyes and therefore it is just a book to them. To me it is a living, breathing, organism made alive to me and all born again Christians by the Holy Spirit who by the way try and see. Yet I see Him also.

The big problem is you can believe that God exist and still not be born again. I am sad to have to say that is the case with many folks. If they die in that state they will not know God but only believe in God. You must intimately know God in Christ to have life. Their fate in that condition will be eternal separation from the one that they believed in because they were not in Christ the only mediator between God and the human race. This would result in a fate so horrible I can not express it in words. The Holy Bible can do a much better job than I can.

Why does the almighty need a search party? The Creator of Universe should be a verifiable fact.

Over 3000 G/gods since mankind began to ponder the universe, all taken on faith to exist, yet where are they.... really?

They have all lived in the hearts and minds of believers....just like any idea. People give their G/gods substance, so you're right if you look for God, you will find IT.

Yes, when I see sick people on the street I remember that there is also such thing as greedy men and an evil one who enjoys seeing people suffer. To not beleive in God just because people are suffering is ridiculous to me. If you read the bible you'll see that when God tried to put people on the correct path to happiness, they reject him and do things their own way. Adam and Eve are the first example. Just read about the Exodus to Isreal. These people saw God and saw his miracles daily yet they still rejected him. God has given us free will, and he allows us to make our own decisions. When we see people suffering, remember who chose to do things their own way.

Part of the reason why I believe in God is because it demonstrates human nature. We constantly chastise the truth. Look at Gallileo. He had plenty of scientific proof that the earth revolved around the sun. People dismissed him and he was locked away for years. Many people rejected God's prophets and often killed them. God refers to us as a "stiffnecked" creation. Watch the answers you'll see around here and you'll see what God is talking about.

Every day more evidence comes up proving that the bible is true. For a long time atheists said the bible wasn't true because the Assyrian empire, Pontius Pilate, King David, kingdom of Jericho, Simon Magus, the Exodus, the Akkadian empire, and many other things didn't exist/happen. All are a fact that they happened. Now the Exodus has gone from tale to actual event. Now atheists try to say that it was caused by natural reoccuring events. More evidence stacks up every day. How long until we find things like the arc of the covenant and Noah's ark? Will people still call it a fable if we find all of the evidence that the bible is real?

There are other reasons why I believe in God, but believing in God is a personal choice. If you don't believe in Him that's fine with me. Just make sure you have evidence to back your claim too.

Nice story....

Jordan its achievable as you regarded around you should ascertain the ask your self around you and knew that it substitute into created by skill of somebody and believing in God is being responsive to your spirituality so particular you're able to have self assurance in God and knew there substitute into an existance of an better being.

"Just after he left the barber shop, he saw a man in the street with long, stringy, dirty hair and an untrimmed beard. He looked dirty and unkept."

So he saw a hobo.

EDIT: Alright. You got me. Thanks for putting in the details five minutes later. I don't believe in God because I don't believe the world was created by a man in the sky, and I don't believe any of the crap that goes along with it. Simple as that.

Yeah its a nice point.

Do I believe in God, yes. But what we have to remember is we are trying to quantify something which is possibly beyond our ability to explain to another human in a way which they could themselves understand. Try explaining what the inside of your mouth tastes like in the morning through words. Its just not ever gonna get across the fouls taste you have, people will understand that it might not be pleasant, but they will not get the taste in their own mouths and even if they recreated everything that you had to eat and drink and smoke the night before and awoke to find they had a similar taste in their mouths, because we all experience things differently it could well be that what they are tasting is nothing like what you were describing.

Same thing with God.

Same thing with everything really its just we filter the data to suit our own tastes.

God soes exist because xyz

God doesn't because you can't prove XYZ

Try measuring how deep the ocean is with a bucket while your under the ocean.

The attempt is flawed.

People want to believe in something, they need that to sustain reality, a mental reality for themselves and others.

Some folks believe that God exists and others believe God doesn't.

I believe God exists, and possibly he exists for me through experiences because I believe.

Does that make it real for someone who believes God doesn't exist, no because their beliefs are reflected through their experience of his non existance.

Its really rather clever.

God/reality is the non-material quantum field in which we are embedded that is responsive to human consciousness.

Because reality, holographically mirrors the contents of consciousness - individually and en masse - many people perceive this synchronicity and imagine a personified deity in charge of what happens.

i believe in God because everything on earth happened on purpose. it didnt spontaneously happen. spirituality is a tough thing to swallow because it can be ambiguous and nebulous but that very statement shows that there is a God. because there has to be a higher being who can understand everything. my inability to understand creation shows that someone had to know, the earth is too intricately designed for there not to be someone who does know.

I don't know any omnipotent barbers who created the world and gave people free will... so what's this analogy supposed to prove?

God gave man and woman free choice. Choice to accept him and choice to not only not believe in him but choice to do sin. Sin as in crime, rape, murder, hate, and so on. It is man that does these, not God.

Humans have kicked God out of the schools, stopped prayer in public places, kicked God out of politics, tried to make others not believe in him and now you want to blame him?

Common now.
