Does God Exist

The question that i am asking that in 2020 do people believe in God, Heaven and Hell?
gregloa · 61-69, M
Of course! People that don’t believe in God are still a very small minority.

@gregloa it's not so sad when you consider what some people are doing with that 'religion.' So much religiously motivated violence in the world at the moment. Imagine how much more beautiful the world would be without Islam for example, or consider how irresponsible it is that the Pope teaches poor people to not use contraception, when they can't provide for the children they already have. Then consider your average Christian. How many are kinder, due to their 'faith'?

@SW-User We recognize them by their fruit. As it is written.

@SW-User Jesus is the author of” love your enemies and pray for those who despitefully use you! “
I do that! I lose money in my business because I care for people and do that!
God blessed the Christian countries and if Europe hadn’t been christianized there would not have been an industrial revolution or the countries blessed since the Vikings! They are going down now since they forgot about Jesus who made them rich! God says that the country who loves the lord will be bl Sess! And when they forget him He will let their enemies enslave them!

Yes. A lot of us still believe in Him. I speak as a Christian.

Some of us feel that we have to argue about Him, and some of us don't.
Carazaa · F
@purplepen we shouldn’t argue but some of us just get schnookered time and time again!😶

I do believe in God and Satan.. in heaven and hell. In angels and demons.. In good and evil..that Jesus was crucified, dead, buried and rose again the 3rd day... and he’s coming again... not to be a lamb offered up for a sacrifice for the sins of the world but as a lion of the tribe of Judah to right the wrongs...of this old world... and I Believe in eternity. Now...there you have it!

@SW-User Very well put.
SW-User
@SW-User Thank you.... And.... I believe in the rapture of the church... 😊
purplepen · 51-55, F
Yes a lot of us still believe and always will. The name Levi comes from the Bible BTW.

@purplepen one of the son’s of Jacob...

Even if we say no, we can't deny the reality

Define "God", and "heaven"... and "hell".

If any of these do exist I suspect that they'd bear no resemblance to what is popularly described.

The question holds a basic, and obvious, flaw; highlighted by one or two of the answers.

It asks if people, ".... believe in God, Heaven and Hell?"


The obvious answer is a simple "Yes!"; but the obvious flaw is of exclusivity, highlighted by respondents telling us their own beliefs.

God (with a capital 'G'), Heaven and Hell are constructions of versions of the three Abrahamic religions, and some of the replies follow suit by being statements of sincere but purely personal, Christian belief.

However, although the Hebrew-rooted Judaism and Christianity are indeed the predominant and still very strong religions of Russia, Europe and the Americas, they are [i]not[/i] the only ones world-wide, nor even in "The West".


A far better question is:

".... are people still religious?"

To which of course the answer is "Yes!" - but they may be Christian, Jews, Muslims, Hindi, Sikh, Buddhist, regional / aboriginal, pagan ....

Each a religion as valid for its own followers, as the others are for theirs!
FreeSpirit1 · 51-55, F
A lot of people do
FreeSpirit1 · 51-55, F
@SW-User people who believe I'm sure have a true personal belief, I know many religious people and don't doubt their level of faith.
SW-User
@FreeSpirit1 The reason that i ask this is that most of churches are full of people who have never really put their trust in the Lord Jesus they believe in a nominal way but with that belief they will never get to Heaven.
Carazaa · F
@SW-User yes we’re will only go to heaven if we follow a Jesus who died for our sins! I think God is preparing the world now to come back soon!

A myth that made people behave in prior to the 19th century.

The only definitive answer is maybe. The reason for this is the only way to know if a god of an infinite universe is to know everything in it. There is no one on this planet that knows this without the aid of an omniscient being. There is no one on the face of this planet that knows everything about this planet, or this solar system, let alone the universe. All I can say is maybe there is. However, I’m an infinite universe, that means there are infinite possibilities. Meaning there’s the possibility of an all know, all powerful being but also that there isn’t.

I dont know about heaven or hell but i do believe in God, whatever century it is
Sharon · F
I don't. I doubt many seriously do although they might pay lip service to the idea.
4meAndyou · F
I believe in God, and I love Him with all my heart. Jesus Christ told us that heaven is within...meaning that we will each find heaven within our own heart. I know we are supposed to believe in hell...but I have trouble with that. I believe there are levels in the afterlife. But the worst level is the one where we are denied the presence of God.
Straylight · 31-35, F
Yeah, a lot of people.
Carazaa · F
Absolutely yes there is a heaven where Jesus promised to prepare a mansion for all who love him, and a hell where you have to pay for every single thought, word, and deed that sinned against God!
ArishMell · 70-79, M
No-one knows!

Plenty of people believe in God, or a god, in one way or another; but His/Her/Its existence or otherwise is not provable. Belief in such a being is literally a matter of faith.
Sharon · F
Some claim to but, when it comes to the crunch, most quickly abandon it in favour of reality.
SW-User
It’s the big Question 🌠
helensusanswift · 26-30, F
I surely do!
