Is it true that God is inside us?

Should You Believe in the Trinity? \n\nWhat Does the Bible Say About God and Jesus?  \n \n\n\nIF PEOPLE were to read the Bible from cover to cover without any preconceived idea of a Trinity, would they arrive at such a concept on their own? Not at all. \n\nWhat comes through very clearly to an impartial reader is that God alone is the Almighty, the Creator, separate and distinct from anyone else, and that Jesus, even in his prehuman existence, is also separate and distinct, a created being, subordinate to God. \n\nGod Is One, Not Three\n \n \n\n\nTHE Bible teaching that God is one is called monotheism. And L. L. Paine, professor of ecclesiastical history, indicates that monotheism in its purest form does not allow for a Trinity: "The Old Testament is strictly monotheistic. God is a single personal being. The idea that a trinity is to be found there . . . is utterly without foundation." \n\nWas there any change from monotheism after Jesus came to the earth? Paine answers: "On this point there is no break between the Old Testament and the New. The monotheistic tradition is continued. Jesus was a Jew, trained by Jewish parents in the Old Testament scriptures. His teaching was Jewish to the core; a new gospel indeed, but not a new theology. . . . And he accepted as his own belief the great text of Jewish monotheism: 'Hear, O Israel, the Lord our God is one God.'" \n\nThose words are found at Deuteronomy 6:4. The Catholic New Jerusalem Bible (NJB) here reads: "Listen, Israel: Yahweh our God is the one, the only Yahweh."* In the grammar of that verse, the word "one" has no plural modifiers to suggest that it means anything but one individual. \n\nThe Christian apostle Paul did not indicate any change in the nature of God either, even after Jesus came to the earth. He wrote: "God is only one."—Galatians 3:20; see also 1 Corinthians 8:4-6. \n\nThousands of times throughout the Bible, God is spoken of as one person. When he speaks, it is as one undivided individual. The Bible could not be any clearer on this. As God states: "I am Jehovah. That is my name; and to no one else shall I give my own glory." (Isaiah 42:8) "I am Yahweh your God . . . You shall have no gods except me." (Italics ours.)—Exodus 20:2, 3, JB. \n\nWhy would all the God-inspired Bible writers speak of God as one person if he were actually three persons? What purpose would that serve, except to mislead people? Surely, if God were composed of three persons, he would have had his Bible writers make it abundantly clear so that there could be no doubt about it. At least the writers of the Christian Greek Scriptures who had personal contact with God's own Son would have done so. But they did not. \n\nInstead, what the Bible writers did make abundantly clear is that God is one Person—a unique, unpartitioned Being who has no equal: "I am Jehovah, and there is no one else. With the exception of me there is no God." (Isaiah 45:5) "You, whose name is Jehovah, you alone are the Most High over all the earth."—Psalm 83:18. \n\nNot a Plural God\n \n \n\n\nJESUS called God "the only true God." (John 17:3) Never did he refer to God as a deity of plural persons. That is why nowhere in the Bible is anyone but Jehovah called Almighty. Otherwise, it voids the meaning of the word "almighty." Neither Jesus nor the holy spirit is ever called that, for Jehovah alone is supreme. At Genesis 17:1 he declares: "I am God Almighty." And Exodus 18:11 says: "Jehovah is greater than all the other gods." \n\nIn the Hebrew Scriptures, the word ´eloh'ah (god) has two plural forms, namely, ´elo·him' (gods) and ´elo·heh' (gods of). These plural forms generally refer to Jehovah, in which case they are translated in the singular as "God." Do these plural forms indicate a Trinity? No, they do not.

Yes. It is called our spirit. Our spirit tells us right from wrong. Our spirit yearns to be with God.

I believe in God. I know he's up there, I don't know how, but I do. It's just this feeling inside of me. No one can ever make me deny him. No one can take him away from me. He's real and he's watching over me. I have no doubt for even a second that he's not real. I've experienced things that are not coincidental. Sure, anyone can say it's a coincidence. Say whatever you want to make you feel better, but it doesn't change the facts. God is real and he loves us. Isn't it time we show him some love back?

Sure. I see 'God' in everyone and everything. We are all 'God'.

Yes there is.  We are such a tiny part of this universe.  Only God knows the whole picture.

Yes, God is good, God is love and God is HOLY. \n\nSince God is not a human (God the Father is in no way a human) this would be akin to saying that the Judge who sentenced the child rapist to the chair is not good, unfair, etc.

Yes, there is God and YES I have SEEN him. I saw him in the eyes of my son, the second he was born. Then I saw God again on the day that very same son hung himself in our backyard. God was there as I struggled to hold my son up with one arm and to reach above his head to untie the knot from the post with my other. God was there as I screamed for someone to help me. God stood beside me as I did CPR on my 14 year old son's lifeless body for 10 minutes until the paramedics arrived. I also saw God in the eyes of the Life Flight nurse that told me and my wife that we couldn't go with him on the helicopter but that she wouldn't leave his side until we got there. When we got to the hospital... there was God holding my son's hand. Before we left for the hospital I made a frantic call to my sunday school teacher and said we were going to the hospital and that my son was hurt badly. We live a major city with a major medical center. There are about 12 different hospitals in a 5 mile radius. When I finally walked into the emergency room waiting area, again God was there and so was my sunday school teacher. The Drs. told us that my son wasn't brain dead but they could tell how bad the damage was until he regained consciousness, if he ever did, I saw God in my wife's eyes at 3:25 am when the nurse came out into the ICU waiting area some 18 hours after this ordeal had begun and said that my son was waking up. And God was there in my son's hospital room when he opened his eyes at 3:38 am bewildered, confused, unable to talk because of the intabation tube in his throat and very scared. \n\nI will tell you this so that here is no question in anyone's mind for all eternity. On that day... in that room ... I SAW GOD IN THE EYES OF MY SON..... AGAIN. \n\nON THAT DAY I WITNESSED A MIRACLE.\n\nmy son was dead. I checked for a pulse there was none. I gave him CPR alone for at least 7-8 minutes before the para's got there. My son has no memory of what happened. Even the Drs. were amazed that he didn't have even the slightest amount of lasting ropeburn on his neck, other than what looked like a sunburn.  \n\nHave I seen God? I see him every morning at the breakfast table. and I love him more than anything else in this world.

Do you believe that our heavenly father, God is the only and true god?

God is a loving Father in heaven and He loves us.  We were created in his image and our purpose in life is to strive to be like him.

I believe in God but not in the traditional sense. To be honest, I've asked your very same question many times before. To understand it, I looked around me to see the natural order of life; how things worked and the cycles there are. Personally, I don't believe we were created in God's image. I don't believe that we are his only creation or his/her greatest creation, for that matter. The way I choose to view creation is simple; every thing is purpose oriented. Like a sports team, every player/ component/ creature, is an equally important part. Our lives however grand or simple, are part of an incomprehensible mass of life called creation. Creation being every thing from the stars to the microscopic germs on our hands. All things are of different masses and scales. The only thing that all things share is that, they exist. Think of it this way; solar systems are comprised of planets, galaxies comprised of solar systems, a universe comprised of galaxies. We and the world we live in are a small piece of possibly an infinite space. I don't know what our purpose is in life but all I know is, we are supposed to be alive. Every piece of all creation, is like a gear in a machine; each gear turning the other to make some thing move or react. It would be very egotistical and narrow-minded to believe that we are all that there is. Especially considering there is evidence to support the contrary. Every time you see a dog, bird, cat, cow, worm, what ever, that tells you that we're not all that there is. Heck, every time more dinosaur fossils are dug-up, that proves there was life, long before we existed. So we are just another in a long line of creatures. No more or no less special than our predecessors or our future successors. I view our lives as part of an experiment. God wants to know what we'll do; what things we will discover; what horrors we will create, how long we will last, how far we will take our selves. To what end? I don't know. But we, like every thing else, exists to simply live. We do what we want with our life. In my opinion, God does not feel good or bad about the things we do. He/she wants to know how things pan out. We're important to he/she because we are a part of him/her. God is some thing we cannot really understand. God is our creator but beyond that, that's all we know. What is the use of God, you ask? What is the use of anything? To me, to be alive is use enough. We have the ability to do great things. Our lives are what we make of them. God or the idea of God, perhaps is a constant reminder that there is always some thing beyond what we know. In a way, that guides us to the answers to our questions. Well, that's not a diffinitive answer in the least but I'll say this; if I did have the answer, I'd be a very rich man!

I figure God is a living God in the same sense that one of the rooms in my house is a living room.  A living room is a room for living, not a room that is alive.

God is everything that we are not. God is love and is all hope for tomorrow.

Humans exist to exalt God. We were put here to declare the glory of God. Robert Fulghun has a similar view as potrayed in "Everything I Really Need to Know I Learned in Kindergarten".

god is within you and everyone and everything. our bodies and the whole material universe is an illusion. to find god you must turn within yourself.\neach of us(not our bodies) has a spark of god within. these sparks in individuals are not seperate, they are one. we only think they must be seperate because we erroniously percieve ourselves to be seperate from others. don't look out into the material universe to find some god that talks like you do. look to the universe within yourself, for in the true reality that's where we all are and we are all the same thing.
