1. Q. Has anyone ever SEEN God? A.

The quick answer is NO, no one has seen God (the Father) at any time and NO, there is no contradiction of scripture. However, while no one has seen God, the Father, SEVERAL have seen God, the Son. Major points: As what is stated above, nobody has ever seen God, the Father. Nevertheless, many has seen have seen God, the Son. Many people have been believing that they have seen God though the truth is it was either the Son or they have just talked to Him. Or they have talked to Him through different representations like angels and fire.

Essay: God is everywhere. Yes, indeed, He is. But how come no one has ever seen Him? I thought Hes everywhere? According to Exodus 33:20, God declares, You cannot see my face, for no one may see me and live. This proves that it was God himself who said that no one can actually see Him. Thus, if ever there are people who say that they have seen God, they are either telling a lie or they saw Him with a different body or have another appearance. In Genesis 32:30, Jacob saw God appearing as an angel. He did not actually see God. The parents of Samson were frightened when they grasped they had seen God, according to Judges 13:22, but truthfully, they had only seen

Him appearing as an angel. They may see God in their dreams but it wasnt really His face or appearance. God's only Son, the one who is closest to the Father's heart, has made him known. There are verses in the bible that declares that there are some who have seen God like what it written in Exodus 33:11, And the Lord spake to Moses face to face, as a man speaketh to his friend. In this case, Moses didnt actually see God face to face but heard His voice and communicated with Him. While in some cases like in Psalm 63.2 To see thy power and they glory, so as I have seen thee in the sanctuary, others see God through sanctuary, a place of safety where everything is sacred. This is true in anyway, when we see or enter the Church or House of God, we tend to see Him, not physically but emotionally and spiritually. Another author said that God is obscure, and is unseen with our naked eyes nor definitely with understanding eyes, so as to realize it, God is appreciated in the works of creation and wisdom.

2. Q. What does God wants from us? A. God wants that we do justice, to love mercy and to walk humbly with him. He also wants is to know that He exists, to get to know Him, to love and to fight evil. Major points: For God, loving is not actually what He obliges us to do, He stresses that we work everything out. God also wants us to love mercy and not give mercy without love. Lets wake up in the reality; other people give and show mercy but still feeling mad and bitter in the end. Though they have physically shown others that they have finally forgiven and had given mercy, their hatred is still planted on their hearts. Another is, He wants us to know Him. He wants us to realize that He exists and actually walks with us every single second in our life. He also wants us to know Him not just because He is our God but because He has a lot of promises to us and Hes willing to do it when we love others, do His commands and fight the evil.

Essay:

What does God wants from us? As what is written in Micah 6:8, He has told you, O man, what is good; and what does the Lord require of you but to do justice, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God, It basically means that God wants us. God is fair thus, we must imitate Him and be fair to our neighbours too. He wants us to obey His Words for us to be with Him in His

paradise. Before God gives eternal life to anyone, He makes sure that the person can be relied upon to share with Him love and respect. But before all of that, God wants us to acknowledge Him; talk to Him and let Him know that you live by Him. A morning prayer before doing our stuffs will let Him feel that we recognize Him and put Him in the center of our lives. Another thing is, He wants us to watch our hearts closely; "Above all else, guard you heart for it is the wellspring of life" - Proverbs 4:23. Also, God wants us to be obedient to Him so that He might use us in His service. We being good followers of God will actually put more hope to people who are taken away by Him. When we do our part of spreading Gods words and touching our neighbours hearts then it would be very rewarding and honourable for us because we know deep in our hearts that we have helped God with the best way we can. And with this, we already proved Him that we are worthy to get our promise from Him; to be with Him in heaven.

3. Q. Where did God come from? A. God is, by meaning, that being from which everything else came but who Himself came from nothing else. In this regard, some have called God the causeless Cause. Also, physics has shown that time is a property that is the result of the existence of matter. Major points: Time exists when matter exists. But God is not matter. God was even the one who made matter. God created the world and there was no time by then yet. Time just started when everything was created and has life. So, to conclude this issue, God is even more beyond infinity. We have no clue where He actually came. He has no beginning or end. Essay: God is eternal. No beginning. No end. God also created that, there was nothing before him, and he created himself out of nothing. But no one created the nothingness. As stated above, time exists when matter exists. But then again God is not matter. When God produced the world, time was not counted yet. When everything was given life, it was just by then time started.

Overall essay:

Through this research, I was able to answer my questions about God. Since I was little, Ive been wondering where God came from and such. Good thing we were asked to research about this. It may be kind of tiring because we were just given 1 week to find references, read and understand them. It was stressful doing these kinds of stuffs yet, I found it interesting to do so. I was able to keep hold of my faith more in God for I now know what He wants from me and what I shall do to grant His wishes and to repay His sufferings.
