Your chance to guide me to God!

I second this.

Many individuals find God or Bhagavān within their being. It can be done by sitting in a comfortable position, closing the eyes, and going to the place of pilgrimage that is one’s heart. Being open to Bhagavān and repeating his name over and over, one may attain the encounter. One will see that Bhagavān is the Absolute, is loving, and is a boundless ocean of bliss.

Other individuals realize not God but the Self. Using their intellect, they come to understand that they are not the body, mind, intellect, or ego but pure consciousness. A bit further, they realize, they experience that the Self that they ultimately are is the Absolute, non-dual, and is a boundless ocean of bliss.

Both perspectives and experiences change outlooks on life, the world, and everything.

I third this

I love the "inclusiveness" Bhagavān offers

Hello religious ones and welcome to my post
I grew up Christian and at one point belived I ha d the holy spirit
Now Its been 3 years that I've been in agony over God's silence and I'm ready to get to the bottom of this
Il be truthful this will be very hard for atheists,to say life came from dust without help is unbelievable to me
But il hear everyone out

I believe finding a church where the Holy Spirit has the congregation speaking in tongues might help. If you are not open or trying to do it yourself that won't work.

Your title says: Your chance to guide me to God!

You also bring up having been a Christian.

So, I propose that we do this: in order to help you find “God”, let’s first examine and perhaps lead you away from your current conception of God.

The Problem of Evil is what ultimately led me away from Christianity.
The PoE is this: if there is an omnipotent/omniscient/omnibenevolent God (such as the biblical God) then why is there suffering?

The Bible offers its own solution to the PoE, one which I find wholly unsatisfactory. The book of Job is centered around the PoE, so I recommend starting there. We can explore that book together if you’d like! I have a Yale in depth commentary version of Job that I can reference. Essentially though, to simplify it, the Bible’s answer to the PoE is: who are we to ask why does evil exists? We are worms…

Is this a conversation you would be interested in?

My answer to that is if God didn't allow evil you would not have a life and that is what will happen when Jesus returns if you haven't received Him as Lord and Savior.

Which God/dess do you want to be guided to?

Why do the Gods have to have had a hand in creating what is around us ? They are as much attached to it as we are.

I believe Chistians don't truck with gods. We have only one God.

That’s not the answer the Bible gives… how’d you come up with this answer?

that is what will happen when Jesus returns if you haven't received Him as Lord and Savior.

I’m unclear on what “that” is.

Yes, but this person wasn't specifically asking about Christians or Christianity. It said "your God". Well I have Many.

I get answers from God directly but in this case it is simple logic. Everyone sins so if god didn't allow sin on the earth those who commit sin would not be allowed on the earth.

"That" is a person still in his sins will not have a life on earth.
