Or a higher power of some sort?

You are a good representative of a Christian (I even capitalized it for you out of respect).
Beyond any doubt.
Do you believe in an actual god, like a physical and very much alive homo sapien, or is your god a mythical belief that 'someone, somewhere.....OUT THERE" is watching over you?
Thanks
I believe in the God in the Bible. Having not been brought up in any church or with any specific denomination or faith, I took it upon myself to read the Bible on my own - to see what it said to me, not the interpretation fo the closest clergy.
I don;t espouse a denominational religion, but I believe there is a God, a supreme being who knows us and wants us to know Him. My faith some day is as easy as being able to see, yet having zero idea how my own eyes work. Some days faith is as difficult as "why me"?
Hope that helps?
You believe or you don't. Nobody really has a clue. I am sure that if Sportgirl or Pioneer had been born in Saudi Arabia, they would believe that the Koran is the word of God, and that Allah is the one true god.
The best you can hope for in this lifetime, is to treat people the way you want to be treated. If there is a God, she will appreciate it.
Anyway, everybody knows that Maynard is God.
I think the believers should try and educate the skeptics. After all, if god is living in Topeka, Kn and Sportsgirl knows his address, isn't it her obligation to tell us? :+clueless
She believes it in her heart. She can't prove it to anybody.
They have been arguing this for thousands of years, and nobody has figured it out yet. Don't count on it happening soon.
If I had to believe in higher beings, I would believe more in the many gods of ancient Greece or Rome. Those gods were in constant conflict with each other, and that would explain the constant turmoil here on earth.
It is as good as any other fairy tale.
The scariest thing that man can contemplate (other than the return of Journeyman to this forum) is that when we die, THAT'S IT.
The only fly in the ointment to non-believers, is how the universe got started. Every process has one beginning point. What was it? We really have no clue.

SG, I think you know me to be a non-believer. However let's assume that the Bible is indeed 100% fact. Now besides the fact that I don't believe therefore don't go to church,confess sins,pray etc., let's assume that I live mostly by the Bible's preachings. Another words generally speaking I treat people better than I expect them to treat me, way more of a giver than a taker, and just and all around good guy ( we are still assuming here:+textinb3). Do you think God would except me on judgement day as he would a true Christian or would the fact that I'm a non-believer be too much of a no-no? Would He possibly even see me in a higher light being that He knows that I was a good guy just to be a good guy as apposed to the Christians that are good people partial because of their fear of God (not saying that is the case with any Christian here but just assuming it's possible)?I don't think God lives in Kansas, FK, but perhaps he visits?
Faith is a personal thing and I can tell you that if you are looking, seeking that is, your best bet is the Bible. Read it for yourself, on your own.
Romans 10:17: So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.
Also, the Bible talks about faith without "seeing" - which is what faith is all about.
John 20:29: Jesus said to him, ?Thomas,<sup class="footnote" value="[<a href="http://forums.eog.com/#fen-NKJV-26891d" target="_blank">d</a>]">[d]</sup> because you have seen Me, you have believed. Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.?

Sorry Cabbie. You got NO SHOT of entering the pearly gates my man. Acts alone do not get you into heaven brother. Only one way in my friend, and that is to accept jesus christ as your personal lord and savior.
