| God created . . . How Do People Miss The Obvious? |
|
| |
1:1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.
Through its diversity, design, and magnificence, life declares: "I am not a random happening. I was made by an awesome, intelligent Creator!" His footsteps and fingerprints are everywhere.
God is like the windshield in your car. You seldom notice it or think about it because you are looking right through it at everything else. But there it is in plain sight, right in front of your face, as you drive through life -- and so is God.
It amazes me that intelligent people will insist that there is no evidence for a Creator. What? All this intricate, glorious design with out a Designer? How is that even remotely possible? If I say there are no automobile factories, the intellectual will say I am crazy. If the intellectual says their is no Creator, what is he? Which is statistically more probable -- a car without a designer/creator or life, nature, and all that exists without a designer/creator? Come on, think statistically here -- don't just react with an anti-supernatural presupposition!
Footprints and finger prints are all over the physical world, but they are also in our hearts -- a still small voice that calls lovingly to us: "I am here. I am real. I am alive and all powerful. I love you as an individual." Many deny the positive stirrings of the human heart, but they are nonetheless real -- the inner voice of the Almighty!
Like a windshield, God is ignored by most of us, except of course when a bug splatters or a rock hits our life. He is denied, resisted, and fought by a few. And He is diligently sought and passionately pursued by the hungry and the wise.
"Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled."  |

| I like what you are saying Steve.When it comes to anything that addresses our"Creator"even(in my case you are preaching to the choir) though I believe in The Holy,Almighty God of the bible it still amazes me.I also like opposing views to build up the obvious truth of our Heavenly Father,Amen??? |

| How does the saying go, they can't see the forest for the trees? Folks looking for "evidence" of a Creator are so busy looking through microscopes for the tiniest shred of what will supposedly pass for irrefutable proof of his handiwork that they miss the big picture, or rather, the BIG CREATION. Yep, they miss the obvious! (But then again, if I were only smarter, maybe I would see the way they do??) |

Awesome.... Those last lines remind me of that worship song: " I hunger and thirst for you righteousness and it's only found one place Take me into the Holy of Hollies, take me in by the blood of the Lamb, Take me into the holy of Hollies... take the coal, cleanse my lips here I am." I know I have said this before but I will say it again just in case- We were all so "fearfully and wonderfully made that God in all His wondrous artful beauty gave each of us such minute detail that NO ONE ELSE has! Before I start a new art class I always have my students pick a finger and hold it up and then I have them close there eyes and think of all the people in their family, then all the people they have ever met, then all the people they have ever seen on T.V. and in movies and then I have them ponder for just one min. or so about all the people that might have existed from the beginning of time up until this very moment! I then have them open their eyes and try and find the line just close enough to the center of their finger that they have been holding up. I have them trace it. While they are tracing it I talk to them about how important they are to God to be their own and not like anyone else- all those people and not one in that tiny space has a duplicate print--- because they count to God- each of us have a meaning- a purpose- a destiny- one that was creatively, fearfully, wonderfully, chosen and made! with a plan :0) God has covered us with His finger prints inside and outside our physical and spiritual bodies... in His image we were created and therefore in His image we have the ability to do all things through Chris! |

Man has yet not evolved into the awareness that he creates a substitute god to lead him through out his dark nights of ignorance. (The Real Hell / God is only as I see him to be). Few can perceive that I am is that which I seek I am. As I am perceiving so evolves that also in which my knowing of God expands. The More I know God, the more I know my neighbor. For it is impossible to know God outside of knowing my neighbor. This is the key to the great golden commandments. That in which I seek that I am is that in which I know God. (tricky I know)
For there is a great woe unto those minds who never can see the perception of God through another's eyes. For all disagreement is yet just another view of God. I am only that in which I am perceived by self. God will always be the I am you are looking for. (but I know the Hell of ignorance of present time/space does not allow for a clear picture of sight) Therefore God will have many ignorant forms of the present mind of men. Some minds are empty of perception/thus an empty space. Yet even an empty space will eventually evolve in time and space. (we call them stars) Some minds can only perceive a god in a logical way of justice /thus a god of common sense with a substitute book viewed in literal common sense perception. (a substitute with a beginning and end /until that evolution of seed grows into a stable entity) There comes a time when no book or knowledge base is needed. Such substitutes will cease. As the perceptions become clearer / God himself will form as that I am seeking is that which I am. I love my neighbor as myself/ For we are connected into the network of my perceptions of which I am that in what I seek. Our Bible knowledge will always grow as our perception grows. Regardless of how many times we read it. As our perception evolves so shall our understanding of God along with that in which I am always appears.

kingdomwithin: While it is true that God expects His people to exemplify His presence, I have to take issue with the idea that "all disagreement is yet just another view of God." How could a claim such as the Islamic view that "there is only one God" manage to be consonant with another view, say, the Buddhist claim "There is no god"? |

It's amazing that those same people who claim there is no evidence of His existence will call on Him in times of need. I'd rather be dumb in the ways of the world and wise in Him. :-)

Hello Guthrie, being this is not my post or in order of the above theme I will be limited to keep it short.
God arranged every detail of the Crucifixion of Christ. Right down to the letter. It was completely a controlled event. I know that is quite hard to accept but it is the mathematical fact that for a God to be in control , He must equally have all control or he is not in control.(random events do not lead to a controlled outcome) Jesus said we could do nothing without him. Again a control statement that only God's will is real. If God is in control he would also be ordering the events of that control. The steps of a man are ordered by God.(ps. 37:23) There is a bit more detail about this but that is a short version that reveals that this life is a staged event that builds faith and character by the testing of resistance of the Truth (seed) within us.
Muslim are the same bloodline as all of us. They are networked into the very linage of our own ancestors. Their sins are forgiven just as any others of us are. (yet they may not be aware of Heavens official stand)
One can not purify his Love without resistance. God has arranged a classroom where many angles of that resistance can be engaged and explored bringing forth the light out of darkness.(His Son in us)
By the way ....Buddhist believe you can not point to all God at any time. They do believe quite strongly in God. They refer to God as Light and enlightenment. Just a language barrier that is all. Most all religions have major agreements, but break apart in Time and Space and it's limited interpretations from the observer point of view.
Heaven and Hell / God /Satan and such are cultural events seen from the observers perception. Such realities quickly turn to greater enlightenment as one matures or is greeted by the instructing Angels after death of the body.
Peace. Kw |
