Can man live without God?

[Kathi]

Contrary to the claims of atheists and agnostics through the centuries, man cannot live without God. Man can have a mortal existence without acknowledging God, but not without the fact of God.

 

[WIP]

Were it not for God, man would not be here so I would agree that man can not live without God.

Genesis 1:
24 And God said, Let the earth bring forth the living creature after his kind, cattle, and creeping thing, and beast of the earth after his kind: and it was so.
25 And God made the beast of the earth after his kind, and cattle after their kind, and every thing that creepeth upon the earth after his kind: and God saw that it was good.
26 And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.
27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.

, man cannot live without God.

[24] The God who made the world and everything in it, being Lord of heaven and earth, does not live in temples made by man, [25] nor is he served by human hands, as though he needed anything, since he himself gives to all mankind life and breath and everything. [26] And he made from one man every nation of mankind to live on all the face of the earth, having determined allotted periods and the boundaries of their dwelling place, [27] that they should seek God, and perhaps feel their way toward him and find him. Yet he is actually not far from each one of us, [28] for
“‘In him we live and move and have our being’;
as even some of your own poets have said,
“‘For we are indeed his offspring.’
[29] Being then God's offspring, we ought not to think that the divine being is like gold or silver or stone, an image formed by the art and imagination of man. [30] The times of ignorance God overlooked, but now he commands all people everywhere to repent,
(Acts 17:24-30 ESV)

Man can have a mortal existence without acknowledging God, but not without the fact of God.

Matthew 25:41 “Then he will say to those on his left, ‘Depart from me, you cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels.

Revelation 21:8 But as for the cowardly, the faithless, the detestable, as for murderers, the sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars, their portion will be in the lake that burns with fire and sulfur, which is the second death.”

No one can live without God. Every breath the unbeliever takes is because God gives it to him

That make total sense

That make total sense

Paul said that God gives life to all things.

13 I urge you in the sight of God who gives life to all things, and before Christ Jesus who witnessed the good confession before Pontius Pilate, (1Ti 6:13 NKJ)

 

[Rollo Tamasi]

Genesis 2:7;
"Then the Lord formed the man of dust from the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living creature".
Man needs God.

Psalm 104:29
Lexham English Bible (LEB)
29 You hide your face, they are terrified.
You take away their breath, they die
and return to their dust.

1 John 3:14-15
Lexham English Bible (LEB)
14 We know that we have passed over from death to life because we love the brothers. The one who does not love remains in death. 15 Everyone who hates his brother is a murderer, and you know that every murderer does not have eternal life residing in him.

Matthew 7:23
And then I will say to them plainly, ‘I never knew you. Depart from me, you who practice lawlessness!’

I think in ignorance you can. In ignorance man can believe he is really in control of things, when really he isn't.

That is the bigest fight that mankind has.He wants to be in control of his life.A Christian needs to put God in control of his life.

I think it's possible.

Romans 2
11 For there is no partiality with God.
12 For as many as have sinned without law will also perish without law, and as many as have sinned in the law will be judged by the law
13 (for not the hearers of the law are just in the sight of God, but the doers of the law will be justified;
14 for when Gentiles, who do not have the law, by nature do the things in the law, these, although not having the law, are a law to themselves,
15 who show the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience also bearing witness, and between themselves their thoughts accusing or else excusingthem)
16 in the day when God will judge the secrets of men by Jesus Christ, according to my gospel.
