• Gone with the Wind

    From Newborn@VERT/HDCAFE to All on Thu Dec 4 02:16:00 2008
    Why does chasing transitory things leave us unfulfilled? The Biblical answer is that we were created to find our ultimate fulfillment in God. The Lord Jesus promised, "I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly." (John 10:10).

    People and things come and go. But the spiritual satisfaction Christ offers sustains us in this world and will endure into eternity.

    "What comes from man will never last.
    It's here today, tomorrow past;
    What comes from God wiil always be
    The same for all eternity. - Spencer

    Wrong... God created the animals, they ALL DIE. God created the heavens, Stars and Galaxies die too. Even the earth itself changes EVERY DAY, and will eventually die. Nothing the God has made remains the same.

    I often have asked why God had to have created all of these things. The typical response is that it can't just be random, it can't just appear and exist or be some consequence of the "big bang".

    To those inclined responders, I pose this question...how did God get there? Is God exempt from the rules of creation, in that case? Is He just an extraneous variable? Or is He the one thing that came from the big bang. Or maybe he's the only thing in all of eternity allowed to just "exist" without reason.

    Contemplate this answer carefully..... we don't know.

    I would suspect we spend a lot of time misunderstanding God and making Him understandable within our human existence. Our exlplanations are called relgions, and the multiplicity of religions actually reveal a fundamental truth..... we can't know the nature of God. Even if you look at the Bible, it is really more about us than God..... and we spent a lot of time misunderstanding Him. Also, either we changed or God changed from the Old to the New Testement. Jesus even pointed out that the Pharisees were getting it all wrong..... what about today's Pharisees?

    If we trully believe all the things we think about God.... omnipotent..... omniscient..... eternal...... then God is categorically what we are not..... what we have no knowledge of. In fact, these things that we believe of God are simply a negation of what we possess in our existence: limited power, limited knowledge and mortality.

    Yes, we say God made us in His image and likeness..... an image is an artifact..... not the "real thing".

    In many ways, God is truly no-thing.

    However, if God is not somehow present in our existence, how is it that human beings have been aware of that which is greater than themselves throughout history? Why are there so many religions? Why do we keep asking these
    uestions?

    Interestingly, even the need for God to manifest as the human Christ testifies to this fundamental ignorance of God; And perhaps it is even more telling that our reaction to the corporeal Son of God was to kill him.

    Yet our only path to God, according to Jesus, was through his corporeal Son..... was this simply stating a fact of our human existence in the face of that which is supremely Spiritual? Was this God undertanding the limitations of our human condition?

    I would say we really don't know much about God..... but he/she/it is.

    Just a few thoughts.... enjoy.

    Awesome post. I was expecting people to flame me and call me an idiot :) But that was very well said, well put...

    I think the unfortunate thing about religions, in general, is that faith supercedes opinion. So, for the most part, to be a good (place religious denomination here), you must believe certain things without question. For me, that's too frustrating. If I were to be religious, or spiritual, in any way, it would certainly have to be on my own terms.

    However, for now, I'm just more comfortable being a heathen scum lol.

    Ralph is merely saying that your thoughts are those of Satan, not that you are personally Satan. Mankind is inheritely evil because of sin and it is for this reason that mankind must be confronted with the truth. It is true that we are all members of humankind, but that does not make us ALL brothers. Christ is the way, the truth and the life, only thru His 'shed' blood are we made as borthers (and sisters).
