| What can we say about the existence of God? The experience of both Jewish and Christian believers is that God exists, that he is present through his holy spirit. The Christian message is convinced that God is spirit, that he is beyond time. God is the creator, not the creation. But he does penetrate all creation, and it is possible to talk to him any time, with your voice or silently. It is important to look deeper into the biblical stories.

The Christian view sees him as the origin, purpose and goal of all what is. | What can we say about the existence of God?
