Do you need a Middle Man to find God????

Without something or someone to verify your find, how do you know it is God you've found and not something you've invented? On what do you base it?

There may be those who say they're unsure and others who say there is no God, but that which is known about God is evident within mankind; for God made it evident to them. For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes, His eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly seen, being understood through what has been made, so that mankind is without excuse. However, no one comes to God except through Jesus Christ. He's our middleman.

Indeed no, that is the meaning of the curtain being torn apart; no longer is the priest to go alone behind the curtain to mediate with God for forgiveness of the people. all the best urban

I believe All religions are true paths to G-d. But no one Needs to choose a religion to have a relationship with G-d. It is all about choice. Not every person needs the same relationship with G-d. Christians Need a personal G-d. They long to be with Jesus. Me? I never want that. For me G-d is just an essence, not in a form of a person. Does this mean they are right and I am wrong? No. We are just different.As for the middle man? Many do Need them but others don't. That is when the choice comes in. There are so many oaths so Everyone who Wants to find a path can find the one that fits them. The sad part is many see their path as the Only way to G-d. No, it is the only way For Them to G-d. It fits it is natural For them , period. and all this bullying has made many say No thanks and not pick a path. and that is ok too. I don't believe Everyone Has to have a religion. so all I can say is find the path that feels right and be faithful. And if you don't have aa need for a path to G-d, thendon't choose one!

Theology is knowledge about God and one needs to have someone to teach us about it. There are various approaches to it and one takes the route through a religion one is born into to learn about it.

Most of us need a middle man to find God. Most of us don't even know what we are looking for or even what questions to ask. But I do have to point out, you are playing the middle man right now bird.

What is a god without a religion? Is it wise to discard the thinking of all the great philosophers who have thought about and written about our relationship with god? Is it possible to form an idea about a god that is unique and uninfluenced by one of the established religions?

Yes but not as called or branded as a Middle Man. But as a helper or tool to guide the way. Every human beings need to help each other. A blind man cannot have life as a human being if he is not being with humans' society. There are no such thing as a Middle Man but only a helper or guider. It is just only us or we human beings and God alone is the only connections. Jesus Christ (a word of God that became a human flesh to live, suffers and die with us like human beings) is not a Middle Man nor also the Saints, priests, pope, preachers they are all tools, examples, symbols, helpers or guiding silver thin lights to connect every one of us to God. We need Jesus Christ, the saints, pope, preachers, leaders and other religious or spiritual entities or symbols. Even we already knew that there is a God. To inspire and imitate them for those who have accepted and have not yet accepted God.

Hi bird, No, we don't need a middle man to find God, the whole idea is man made or should we say, church created. Blessings.

I can't see it as of any great importance. In this relationship an individual needs are whatever they believe they need as the whole thing is contained withing the minds of the people involved. If a person believes they need a middle man to bring them to god and they find one then the job is done and if they believe they can find god for themselves by whatever path and it works for them then problem solved. The only times these ideas have any effect in the real world is when authorities make legal decisions based on the myths generated by someone's idea.

No we don't need them. In fact if we keep our hearts and mind clean we are nearer to God than these middlemen. Just because these people are involved in religious rituals it doesn't mean they are accepted as true servants of God. They too are human beings like you and me.They too carry the good and bad karmas like all.

Christ was always God and became Man at Nazareth. As Man, He is our middle man or, as scripture calls it, our Mediator. So we must go to Him directly as Man, recognizing that He is also God. The work He did to save His own, He did as Man. And He is the Mediator not only with His own Divine Nature, but with the Father.

People are being deceive they said to go to the priest to confess sin.While other true one will confess sins directly talk to God and the proof is that Jesus is the only way John14:6.Jesus said i am the way,the truth and the life no man cometh unto the Father but by me..No need to be someone in the middle but only Jesus the one...Is not pope etc,but only the man Jesus and that is the true one.

I do not need a middle man to have a relationship with God, I strongly believe that you can have a very powerful and meaningful relationship with God with out a middle man. When I go to church it's not because I need a middle man to tell me how to have a relationship with God, I go because I thirst knowledge in how other people read and percieve the bible. It has taken me 20 years to find a church that does not preach conviction into their congregation, or use the scare tactics of if you do this or don't do this you will not make it into heaven.I don't believe it's any humans place to judge another mans relationship with God. I seek out help from pastors, and family when I am struggling with something religious but I don't personally make them the middle man to my relationship with God.
