Have you ever met god?

JamesPaul · ,

I met God a very long time ago, when I was a young man. I did not see him, but he held me in his hand and carried me from certain death from the face of a cliff to the side of the mountain that I was climbing. I spent the rest of that day conversing with God as I walked down the mountain. If anyone is interested in a true story about God, I will tell you about my experience.

I understand you probably do not believe this, but it is the truth. I have not told this story before, because I am not sure if God wants me to talk about it. However, I will see how I feel about telling my story, and if I do not get any feelings that God is unhappy about it, I will continue.

I will expect a bit of sarcasm towards my story, and that is ok. If I feel that I am offending anyone too much, I may stop telling this story.

I will tell the story from the beginning, and I will tell you that it is a fairly long story, but because it concerns the relationship of God and man, it is an interesting story.

I know, you will say no because no one has seen god's physical body.
Well, how can you define baby's smile is God? Do you have any point on it? If god is everywhere then why all these natural disaster's is happening? Why people are dying?

Gloria · ,

of course no one has ever seen God physically but remember God is everywhere. we can see God through His creation. The perfect arrangement in the universe, the sun, the moon, the stars, the seasons, day and nights, plants, rivers, Man and animals, all reveal something about the intelligent designer. "Nothing does not exist" hence if something exist, then there must exist what it takes for that thing to exist. There is no doubt that we exist and hence there must exist what it takes for us to exist. Even though we cannot see God physically, we also experience Him sometimes in our dreams. I will say that we meet God all the time though not physically.

You don't need to see a physical form of God to be able to know that He's real and that He exists. He's everywhere around you actually.

If there is a painting, we can be reasonably sure there is a painter, if there is a building, we can be reasonably sure there is a builder. The level of interconnected function of our Earth is incredible and if we can accept it, it is reasonable evidence there was a creator. I think we can consider having these glimpses of natural beauty, but the idea that we can see a physical god, I think will not be reported.

Since I don't believe in a God the way most people do, but believe the concept is actually something else, I feel
comfortable in saying that have have felt connected with some universal energy that is a tool for accessing an innate ability to see clearly when others cannot....*think Quantum Mechanics*.

Some people might interpret this feeling as meeting God or being in God's presence because their concept of the feeling can only be expressed that way. Evidence of this energy is just as Gloria has stated, but in my mind, it is evidence, not the actual energy.

Everyday and every minute! If by "met" you meant face to face literally, maybe not. But I do meet him in different ways. I never saw wind, but I met a lot of it every time.

krrish · ,

You can't challenge His presence,You can only feel His presence.Everybody knows He's everywhere.It doesn't need any proof.And if you think that God's presence will take away all natural disasters & all problems of people,then you're wrong.Remember most people think about Him when they're in trouble.And if there wouldn't be any problem for human beings then nobody will ever think about Him.Everyone will forget Him.

BellaDC · ,

I cannot see God as an image, but I agree with seeing all the miracles He has created and know He does exist. If there is no God then how did all of these things come to be? I have also known of terrible things that happened where people should have died from it, but they didn't. Was it science that protected them? No, it was God.

,

As you said, no one has ever seen God and whether God exists or not, well that is another story. We cannot even prove that God exists how then can we see God?. Scientifically there is no God. Just our imagination.

I have not died yet and came back to tell you if i have meet GOD.
I see him everyday, I feel his love everyday I know he is looking upon me everyday.

When you commit a sin and you are sorry for it, You know GOD was watching you and he will forgive you to show love. When you are happy to see your parents you know GOD loves. because your parents could have abandoned you and disowned you. But they did not, because you where a Gift from God to them. Your everyday struggle the reason why you keep moving forward is because you know that is something better for you if you work hard enough. God will see your efforts.

Have a Blessed Day my friend.

Well, how can you define the baby the 'smile of S is you God? Do you have a point on top? If a god is everywhere then why all these natural disasters's produce? Why people die?

bellebelle · ,

I haven't met God physically, but I know He's there. I've had things happened to me that I know weren't circumstantial. To me it's not really having to literally "see" Him (or Her lol) it's more of a feeling, a feeling that can't be explained but you know it's there.

I've heard the last two questions so many times. If God exists why are there so many bad things happening in the world? Why do people die? I don't know the answer to these questions, I don't think anyone really does. But I can give you my theory.

In my opinion, everything in the universe has a balance. Everything has to equal out. There's a yin and yang to everything. When natural disasters happen, it could be because of the evil thats in the world and its the earth's way of cleansing its self. Or maybe its not a natural disaster per say. If it rained for 100 days in an area, but no one was there, would you call it a natural disaster, an unusual event or just a lot of rain? We seem to only have "natural disasters" when people die or get hurt from it.

Which brings us to the next question, why do people die? I think we as humans look at death in the wrong way, we look at it as a bad thing but maybe it's a good thing, a natural occurrence. What holds us to think its a bad thing is our fear of it, or better yet, the fact that we don't know what happens when we die. Yes, we die in bad ways (it seems more likely a person will die in a violent or horrible way than just dying old in their bed, but a lot of that has to do with the people in the world) but in the end, we all have to leave this world, its like the saying: everyone wants to go to heaven, but no one wants to die.

We can see God in varied setting and different situations. It does not mean that seeing God is seeing Him in His physical body. You can see God by words and deeds. For instance, when you see a person helped an old lady crossing in the street. In that situation, we see God in what the person did in helping the poor woman.

yes you are right surfzone, "As thou doeth unto thy brother so thou doeth unto the lord thy God".. Helping your brother is like helping God.

Ezhel · ,

I haven't seen God but I believed for every existence there is God, everywhere God is watching us, He even sent his son for us to believed in Him and to proved that He is alive.

nick08 · ,

I don't think anyone has ever met god but we do firmly believe in his existence. Yet we have heard in other religions that this and this image of god has been manifesting themselves in some way or other. For example, some statues drinking milk, others weeping, etc.

ebittner · ,

I have not had a meeting with him at all. I have had a few pretty bad things in my life and I am still young but I am pretty sure that I need to find him on my own at some point in my life and when it happens I know it will be right, that is what happened for my parents they did not find any religion until they were in their late 30's.

Walker · ,

Of course....even I have not seen GOD physically in front of my eyes....Bu tI do not think that matters at all...

If you are good at heart and generally wish good for everybody...you can see HIM present in each and every individual.

I definitely believe in some physical force present that guides and help people in troubled times. You may name him anything like GOD but there is no denying the fact that there is definitely some invisible force that is governing the whole universe.

Regards,

Walker

Please do share your story and experience with us JamesPaul. I'm sure God won't mind you spreading his love.

Going by the responds here, I think that god is more of a concept than an actual being. So kindness, love, happiness and anything good can be termed as the act of god. I don't think anyone would have experience of meeting god physically.

rajan1788 · ,

Yes i have seen a physical god. Why do you people think that god is the one who has supernatural power?? I consider my mother as a GOD since she is the one who gave birth to me and taught the morals of lives. God can't be everywhere so He created my mother.

oxis · ,

Believing in God is one way of seeing Him. This may sound weird but religiously speaking, it certainly could save us. None for sure has ever seen God. But, for as long as you have the faith, you absolutely can see and meditate God's presence. Meeting God or at least trying to does not necessarily mean getting assurance for salvation. It could just guide us to do what's right and avoid doing those that are not.

ro1e · ,

Let me think about it, no i didn't meet him never, but i wish i will meet him sometime.
Actually i have a "drawing" of God in my mind... I even drew it on paper sometime ago.
If you choose to believe the bible then there are people that met him \:

,

Ive met God and it is nothing that anyone on this earth can understand but ill try and explain what i seen and how i perceived it.

we as people don't exist as we perceive it we are a part of god, and each and everyone of us is a part of its mind each individual is a type of brain cell learning and making mistakes each person offers a different perception of life as we know it, is mind screwing.

I am gifted with sight and when i asked this question to the world i got this answer.

the world started to look smaller and then the galaxy looked smaller then the whole swirling mass of life became smaller everything panned out further and further .a flash. i saw a man sitting on a chair in a room of some sort it was a man i think i asked who are you and what am i doing here he told me he also told me that life is his creation but not directly but not indirectly life is him. try to understand this is my perception of this and lif is all about the way we perceive things religion is the same this is not gods way but ours. there was a lot more to this but i cannot find the words to tell you and most of you are to dumb to understand so take from this what you will i don't care.
