Not literally what i meant is that how did we created an image of him without seeing him personally?is it according to how God made us felt his presence by entering through our hearts?

Like when i was a kid my parents teaches me about God and of course i easily believe in what they say but the question here is our heart without knowing concrete evidences, how can you say to yourself that he is true if your heart is not sincere?I mean everything has a reason so if we believe in God, there must be a reason.

The Lord constantly communicates with us. Certainly he is extremely subtle, but he puts thoughts into our heads, and if we are alert, we become aware of this. He is a good guy and always trying to help us. It becomes very hard not to love him.

My reason for believeing in God came because I saw that the world was broken, that things were not as they should be. I looked for explanations in many philosophies and belief systems. Atheism was particularly lacking--if I am a product of the world, why does it seem broken to me. It seemes like if this was all there was, I would not be enraged by sickness and violence and perversions. Christianity makes sense to be because it rationally explains why the world is broken and what must be done (and was done) to fix it.

If you study and pray about what Paul meant in the following passages, it gives you a much clearer picture of why God made us:

Romans 8:16-21(NASB)
16The Spirit Himself testifies with our spirit that we are children of God,
17and if children, heirs also, heirs of God and fellow heirs with Christ, if indeed we suffer with Him so that we may also be glorified with Him.
18For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory that is to be revealed to us.
19For the anxious longing of the creation waits eagerly for the revealing of the sons of God.
20For the creation was subjected to futility, not willingly, but because of Him who subjected it, in hope
21that the creation itself also will be set free from its slavery to corruption into the freedom of the glory of the children of God.

god creating man is debatable and will not be resolved here.
man created god, pick any one from any theology, in order to explain what he fears and doesnt understand. man doesnt know what happens after he dies, so he creates a belief system that says he will go someplace good and that anyone who disagrees with his beliefs go someplace bad. it is a comfort thing. at this point in our development, without the security blanket of some sort of religion, society would be too fearful to function effectively.

Answer not a fool according to his folly.
This means take a look and see if a question is even valid.
One of those questions is not.
Man has had knowlege of God from the beginning.
In this day men are given many excuses to suppress the truth but they are really in denial.
WE are created with an instinctive knowlege of the creator and a drive to get to know him.

First, I would like to say that to those who are not believers; they can not or never understand why we believe what we do. for their minds are veiled from the truth.
but to give them something to think about as in to plant a seed, hopefully in their heart.
God was never created; he had no begining nor will he have an end.
as for God creating us; Machew said it perfectly.
and for the comment, that we can not prove God's existance; that is not true. As one said He talks to us, they said he talk to our minds, but it is deeper then that. he speaks to the heart and soul of man and those who are born again christian he not only speak He show himself to us, and communicate through our spirit by his SPirit.

The proof: How can it be explained when you are praying for something and a complete stranger tell you God heard your prayer and tell you everything you asked God for and give you God's answer? How can you see a vision of something dangerous or good before it happens. And it happens just how you saw it? How can you stand in prayer and someone tell you what is happening to you while you are before God and you are silently talking to God while he hold you in his arms and comfort you ? tell me how can you and someone else see the same things at the same time ( angels ) when God let no oter at that time see this to confirm that you are not loosing your mind?
God does not and will never prove his existance to anyone to make them a believer , but only to those who are believers will he show himself faithful. As Jesus said : a wicked and perverse generation seeketh a sign and the only signs; one has passed the the other is to come when we see our Lord coming in the clouds.
The proof; is there any science that can explain how these things can happen? and this is not even 1% of the things God has done for me and others that is proof. and man can't explain it away. the healings that doctors can't explain, when they say you are as good as dead, but God said as they believed him they shall live and not die?
The proof; creationn itself; look around you. every time we step out side we see the proof that there is a God.
when we look in the mirror ; we see proof that there is a God. for man is God's greatest creation. God is in everything and it is all His.
We know that God created everything because he is perfect, and everything has its place in this world and it functions just as perfect as it's creator.
Man was once perfect before sin enter their hearts; and now everything we do is imperfect; that is why we know man did not create God. for God is perfectly perfect.
And the proof of his existance is the creation of US.

God bless all who seek him and truth, glory to God and all prasies be to him.

of course it can be explained scientifically cookie, but thats not the answers you want. you desperately want to feel a part of something bigger. you find your proof wherever you look for it. you find comfort in being around others who share your beliefs. that is what religion does. you want to believe the voice you hear in your head is god, so it is god. you have made your own "truth". look to science and you would find scientific answers, look to something intangible and you will find only intangible answers.

Genesis 3:5 For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil.

I was thinking tonight about all the unsaved people out there trying to make others their savior when God keeps being presented to them over and over I know two of them personally "my wife will save me" is one's attitude. My car or money or whatever will save me. I get so annoyed sometimes how stupid can people be? and they will live forever and ever in this star trek star gate and any other factual sci fi show you can think of world.

Why God made man is explained in the Bible if you choose to believe that God wouldn't lie to you. Like the god of this world does.

Satan made men think that they are God or gave them any substitute they want for God, except the real deal and people choose the fake and know what they are doing. I get sick of all the stupid games. I won't save anyone either.

God created us out of love.
We did not create him, but we know him because he revieled himself to us.
The better question is, what would you have done if God had not created us?
Smiles and God bless, pickles

How could we not see that You are the really smart, secure and on-top-of-it-all one and that it is really us poor mindless ones who are out here just wandering and stumbling around in our own insecurities.


Thank you so much for trolling these forums and sharing your infinite wisdom with us.
