A simple question

[Prussia]

Christians, all I need to know is does God actually exist? Like, did you meet him in a dream? A vision?

[WarPigeon]

I think belief without concrete evidence is part of the point, but that's just my interpretation.

[Gray Matter Guerrilla]

Yes, I met Him but not directly, but through faith. Perhaps "met" isn't the right word; not sure which word is the proper one. Regardless, I've had far too many incidents - good and bad (and the bad ended up being blessings in disguise, lessons learned, or discipline) - all of those things pointed towards God and a created universe with laws and order to it.

As WarPigeon stated, I have no tangible proof to offer, only personal experiences, and there are many like me. ;)

[CrEaTiVe ✞ Jesus Saves ✞]

Yes, He exists, Creation itself, Testifies of a Creator!, but if you really want to KNOW if He exists, ask Him <3

He also changed my heart when i asked Him if He was real or not. I felt a peace and a love that i NEVER felt before. So I KNOW He is real! 1000000%

p.s. i did not grow up in a christian home or family.

[Legion]

The most incredible joy and peace I have ever felt was from God. I don't feel this way all the time but it's indescribable how it feels, something I can't explain.

When these moments happen it's like a fog lifts from me and I can see clearly. Everything I'm worried about and focused on just falls away and it's almost like I can see (mentally) Jesus. In these moments the things of the world just don't seem that important anymore and Jesus is all I want.

[Apitsolen | Jesus is Lord]

I am an ex-atheist, and yes - God exists. While I myself am not worthy of clear visions or apparitions from God, He has spoken to me through signs and my mind. This experience is personal and, therefore, not a clear proof to others. However, there are many testimonies from people who have seen visions of Jesus Christ and have been miraculously saved or healed from cancer and other diseases by Him. Many people have been healed through the prayers of Saints, etc. Just go and search on the internet.

As others have already said, creation itself testifies to the existence of the Creator. I won’t delve deeply into metaphysics, but a structured universe cannot exist on its own. More and more scientists in advanced fields are beginning to acknowledge that there must be a God behind the universe. It seems like only some edgy teens will remain atheists in the future.

Many historical events and prophecies from the Bible are miraculous and cannot simply be dismissed as coincidences. Etc.

[Mr_C_]

If one examines the totality of circumstances that answers the question, "How did I get to THIS (low) point in my life?" the only logical answer is, "God had His hand in it." That's where I was.

I am a firm believer in the idea that only through extreme stress in one's circumstances can one's belief system be truly changed. For example, a person who loses someone they love may begin to rail against God and begin to lose faith in Him, usually crying, "How could a loving God allow this person to die?" Then there are those who turn to Him as their last hope in their darkest hour. The former become devout atheists, while the latter become devout followers of Him.

Hebrews 11:1 (AMPC)

Now faith is the assurance (the confirmation, the title deed) of the things {we} hope for, being the proof of things {we} do not see and the conviction of their reality {faith perceiving as real fact what is not revealed to the senses}.

[Theophilus]

For starters, I'd like to quote Acts 17, specifically 24 to 27 with emphasis on 27:

24 God that made the world, and all things therein, seeing that He is Lord of heaven and earth, dwelleth not in temples made with hands:
25 Neither is worshiped with men's hands as though He needed any thing, seeing He giveth to all, life and breath, and all things,
26 And hath made of one blood all nations of men, for to dwell on all the face of the earth, and hath determined the times before appointed, and the bounds of their habitation:
27 That they should seek The Lord, if haply they might feel after Him and find Him, though He be not far from every one of us.

- Acts 17:24-27 (KJV)

That was how it was for me atleast. My testimony is fairly simple, I felt out for Him and I found Him. So, relatively speaking, my answer to your question is feeling. Ultimately, you have to feel out for Him by yourself. And I pray you do find Him, it is a treasure beyond compare.

[Eshman]

If you're looking for solid, undeniable, unquestionable evidence of God's existence to prove His existence to you and you're polling everyone in this particular group to provide it for you then that kind of defeats the purpose doesn't it? The point of finding God is to do it in your own way and on your own terms (He will meet you where ever you are and whenever you seek him). No one can carry you to Him although others can serve as guideposts or way-finders (so to speak). Now, to be perfectly honest if you want physical evidence then first I would say the Bible actually lists it in droves. There is the creation (everything around us) which the Bible catalogs, there is physical & historical evidence of the flood, there is genealogical history in the Bible and also in our DNA, and there are many other things that point to the Bible being based on actual historical truth backed by physical evidence. And no, I am not a Bible scholar of any sort nor did I attend any seminary (although there are some attendees in this group who are far more gifted and educated than I). I am merely an educated person who has witnessed far too many miracles to deny God's existence. I believe the Bible is God's truth and I pray you take the time to actually read through it in its entirety and you're not just another doubter or cherry-picker looking to take apart faith-based (or logical for that matter) reasoning. All I'm saying ultimately here is this: what if the best evidence for God's existence is in human beings and no one simply wants to accept it. What will it take to convince the greatest of doubters?
