Will we ever attain the presence of God?
Yes and no. Man can never gain the presence of the creator of the universe. He remains veiled to eternity from his creation. However man may attain the presence of the manifestation (prophet) of God in the next world if he reaches that spiritual station. The manifestation of God is his mirror therefore we can say that in relation to us he is God. In the manifestation of God is reflected all the attributes of God. Some of these prophets include Jesus, Buddha, Zoroaster, Mohammad and Baha'u'llah.
We are forever in the presence of God even when we don't feel it or don't believe it. You cannot gander at him that is all for you could not withstand it. God is not a choice for he is. The only choice you have is not even to believe but embrace him.

God is here and, everywhere. The presence of God is seen using our spirit. We must walk in the spirit as it says in the Bible. We can know he is here by knowing about who he is and, having a relationship with him.

What is your evidence for this? No one has an answer for the argument on if God is real or not. No one has a answer because there is no answer.

There is in fact an answer but it depends on an element of faith. The proof of an Allmighty Creator is not only with the existence of this immense universe in magnificent perfection but also with the guidance sent down by God through his messengers. In each age (about every thousand years) there has appeared one such messenger. You must look to these prophets for your faith. From the time of Adam to the latest messenger Baha'u'llah we are given guidance. You will find the truth but you must find it yourself not through the eyes of others.

How do you know if the bible is true or not? No one has the power to say so. Just like no one knows the answer if god is real or not because there is no answer.

The Bible is what it is. I don't think anyone really understands much of it however the example of Jesus is one for all of us to follow. To me it is not a question of whether or not God exists. I question our expectations of God and God is unknowable. We always ask "why did God let that happen......?". The answer is we don't know because we are only a tiny dot on the universe. God is the All-Powerful creator of all things and he does as he wills. We do know from all the revelations of the great religions that we need to accept the will of God. The Bible is not the only resource we should rely on. Look also to Islam, Buddhism, Baha'i, etc. for the answers to almost anything needed to live in this world and the worlds beyond.
