"Discovering God"

To everyone, God is a question of concern. There are people who are very religious and cherish Him, and there are people who don't believe in Him. Some people know God only as a character in a Bible. Many people around the world talk about feeling the presence of God. Many say "God is on my side." As a member of a Catholic family, I believe that there is really a God. He may be intangible but I can assure that there is His presence. I grew up doing Christian practices - praying, going to church, celebrating Christian holidays, and celebrating Christmas. My parents thought me Christian values and Christian ethics and they sent me to a Catholic school during my childhood that's why I grew up believing that there is really a God. There are always obstacles in life that makes one another question if there is a God out there. I had personal experiences that there is God's presence. One question, why do we pray? To whom do we pray? I think this is the best way to see the presence of God. We pray because we believe in God. The Muslims, Buddhist, Christians, etc. may have different Gods but they believe that there is a God. God's presence for me is when I pray. Every night, before I go to bed, I always pray for the safety and health of my family and friends. When I wake up and knew everybody is okay, I also pray to thank Him for answering my prayer. Every morning, I already feel His presence inside me. Also, when I'm feeling sad and depressed, I always ask His guidance and help to resolve my problems. Blessed, He answered my prayers and most of my problems were resolved. I think we all have different types of relationship with God. Another example about the presence of God is about what my grandmother(who lived with us for 16yrs) told me when she was sick and diagnosed with stage 4 cancer. She told me that every night, every time she sleeps, she always dream of his husband, dead relatives, or sometimes an

    His existence should not be doubted, simply for the reason that God may be an event. All that should be taken from this is the existence of God based on the idea that whatever created the universe is God. However, God can also be proved to be a sentient being. The proof of God being a sentient creature is similar to Rene Descartes belief that the perfect being cannot be imagined within in our own minds, but can only exist if the perfect creature placed the idea within our mind. The problem with this argument is that the idea of perfect cannot be defined, who is to say what perfect is? The idea of perfection is infinite and cannot be truly analyzed, however we can know that the creation of the universe can be qualified as perfect due to our existence and the way nature interacts with itself. The perfect cannot coexist in the universe as we as a species is flawed and cannot attain perfection. The perfection of the universe must exist in one single being. The single embodiment can only be defined as a supreme being. The supreme being can be called anything, but as a society it has been widely accepted to refer to it as…

    But first bear this in your mind. When it comes to the possibility of God's existence, the Bible says that there are people who have seen plenty evidences, but they have covered up the truth about God. On the other hand, for those who want to know God if He is there, he says, "You will seek me and find me; when you seek me with all your heart, I will be found by you.…

    Catholics also believe that God is present in our lives through ethics. Catholic ethics come from the 10 commandments, it is important that we know the everlasting laws of God and what they mean such as “thou shall not steal” means that we shouldn’t steal because it is disrespectful and we should respect others property as we wold like done to us. Another moral is “thou shall not harm” because humans are a creation of God and if we harm others or ourselves we are destroying Gods creation and “thou shalt not bear false witness” means to not lie about one self of anyone else. All of these ethics come under respect one self and one another. Why Catholics think it is important is that acting morally with the infinite laws of God, which are so inspiring to most people that even those who do not know anything of God follow in the path of morality.…

    In contrast to the classical arguments for the existence of God, namely the ontological, cosmological and teleological arguments, the argument from religious experience doesn’t just entail a set logical of points arriving at a conclusion on a piece of paper, rather it also necessitates sense-based experience, tangible to the individual who experiences the divine.…

    The Existence of God

    “Sixthly, he would be surprised to hear that the mechanism of the watch was no proof of contrivance, only a motion to induce the mind to think so.” (Page 56) William Paley confidently suggests that there must have been a designer to make such a complex piece of machinery due to the undeniable fact that, to make something so complex, a well thought out plan is needed. A watch has intricate components that have a distinct shape and position within the watch. According to Paley, all of these parts have not come together by chance because it would be unnatural for something with such a particular combination to occur. Based on this, someone must have used their intellect to plan the exact arrangement of these parts so that it comes together to serve a purpose. A watch is a complex device, but nature is even more intricate. With this in mind, nature must have a designer because everything regarding nature is complex and it is very unlikely to be created without contrivance. Convincingly, Paley came up with the notion that there must be a God or transcendent being that created the universe, as well as all of the nature within it due to the fact that it seems implausible for something so complex to have been created with no thought or planning.…

    Throughout time, there has been different opinions on the existence of the Supreme Being (God) and, has been disputed between philosophers, scientists, and other scholars for quite some time. The problem with some of these arguments is that they often end up circular without a clear answer and, in reality, there is no coherent response to answer this inquiry and along these lines can make anyone question why these individuals are posing this question in the first place. Concerning this matter there are two main groups: non-believers and the believers of the God. Since the beginning, people devoted to the worship of God have tried to explain and provide proof of the existence of God whereas nonbelievers try to disprove this belief. I believe…

    The basic idea of whether there is a God or not is very abstract. It is impossible to prove that no God exists and it is for that reason that it is not considered a scientific concept. My God is a Christian God. God is everything around me including myself and my family. My experiences with God are that I put faith in Him daily and go with the direction that he points me in. I know God will not let me down and he will always point me in the right direction. It is up to me to make sure I follow his path that he has set for me. I also know through the experience of having children that God is there. He gave me two lives to watch over and to protect He put trust into me to lead them in the right directions. As for education and life decision I am not sure why God has chosen the education path for me. I may not know why God has chosen education for me until later in life.…

    Mary Jane as some people call it is an illegal drug that is used by over 25 million people annually. Smoking pot obviously has far less dangerous and hazardous effects on society. Marijuana has had a bad name for years; the dangers have been completely over exaggerated. Marijuana is not lethal and is much safer than alcohol. Though society has put a picture in people’s heads that cannabis is a highly addictive drug and you can easily overdose. Legalizing marijuana would just benefit its users it could also benefit the government if the government were to tax marijuana. Marijuana has many good attributes especially in its medical value. Marijuana provides relief from pain and nausea and a lot of the times is used for cancer patients.…

    Do you believe in God? God is a being that no one has ever been able to prove exists. When someone chooses to believe in God; that decision is based solely on their faith. It is a decision that someone decides in their heart, which is often based on experiences in their life; whether they are simply personal experiences or religious ones. It is not a secret to anyone that God has never been be seen, heard, nor touched by any living human according to history and the present day. Though, the bible gives the personal testimonies of many righteous men of God’s goodness and existence, how can one prove that to be true? According to Nils Ch. Raught (2007) “If [an] argument from religious experiences is to be successful, we must focus our attention on those religious experiences that closely resemble ordinary perceptual experiences” (p. 180).

    Growing up in a spiritual family I have always known that there was a God. A stronger power that had everything I needed. A God that was born of a virgin, suffered, died and rose on the third day after his death. This God was who we prayed to, trusted and told our deepest secrets to, knowing no one would find out about them. I was taught to pray and ask and whatever I asked for would be given to me according to his riches and his will. Growing up I did not know what these statements meant, however I did not go against them. We were taught to never question God, he knows what’s best for us and we should fear (respect) him. While growing up I never went against these teaching, as I grew up I came to my own understandings.…
