Who is He??...?

Question

Who is He??...

God – a comprehensive, yet Comprehendible, Being??


There seems to be a Terrible, terrible misconception creeping in and setting itself into modern culture that God only exists, or POSSIBLY exists, to the degree that we cannot explain matters – usually, scientifically.
That is, the very erroneous ‘standard’ seems to be embedding itself into the nature of our social thinking that we need to have mystifying, unexplainable phenomena or conditions occurring on earth, to ‘prove’, or even believe, there is a God!
I have not heard greater rot in all my life!!!!

God wants us to grow … He wants us to learn … to expand – to progress.
If you think about it, everything in life is bent towards our ‘human’ growth, our learning, the appreciation of what we have [or had, in some instances].
He is a God of knowledge and of abundance - a God of growth, of advancement and progress.
When we choose and learn wisely, we progress; our societies all progress.
His words were, through His Son, Jesus Christ:
“I am come that they might have life, and that they may have it more abundantly”


1.
Let’s just go back for a moment to the very first words ever to fall from the mouth of God in “survival instruction” to Adam and Eve.
Those words were:
“Be fruitful, multiply, replenish the earth and subdue it”

Now does that sound like a God of progress and growth – of advancing Man, or of a God stunting growth, of secrecy and hope for human failure – of regress and mysticism??

That last part of the instruction, in particular, assumes that man is learning about the earth and his environment – that he is gaining control and understanding of the elements.

2.
It has also been prophesied in holy writ that in the Last Days, knowledge would increase throughout the earth.
Is this not precisely what is happening?

3.
Jesus said, “Come follow me”. He also instructed his disciples to “Do the things that ye have seen me do”.
Yet scripture attests that He is the very Creator [see opening verses of John and various other places in holy writ]
If we are to follow Him then we are to learn all we can concerning life itself, and this earth; are we not?
… and what subject do we call this in school??
Yes; we call it, “science”.
God is not a god of secrecy and mysticism.
He loves all of us and wants us to become like Him.
Hence, his Son’s example to us, and His constant teaching to us of His ways through His prophets and the Holy Ghost.

4. Most importantly of the lot, we are literally, His children – spiritually.
Hence, the reason Jesus taught us:
“Our Father who art in Heaven … “
NOTE: He did not say, “My Father in Heaven…”
When teaching all of us He always referred to Him as ‘THE Father”, because God begat us spiritually; though He only begat one in the flesh.
He was also referred to in the Old Testament as, “the Father of spirits”
Now, every father wishes the very best for his children.
He wants his children to become like him, or better, where that be possible.
This is precisely our Father’s wish for us.
He wants us to learn everything … but piece by piece, is the only way we can handle it – even if simply that we get too big-headed to receive it any other way. But either way, we could not contain it all at once … plus we would not have earned it, and we must earn our right to knowledge and blessings in life.

Considering all of the above, I don’t think it is out of order to conclude that God wants all things to be comprehendible to His children, and that He would make all things explainable to their readiness to receive – at least, those things that relate to this earth and its inhabitants anyway.

I can only see from all religious reports that being able to explain things or otherwise has not the skeric of applicability to the Question of there being a God or not being one.

What say ye??

Answer 1

ah.........I didn't know this question would be a sermon.
I believe in God & the more educated and sophicated we become as humans there is NO other explaination than a high greater being beyond our comprehention.
The more we know the more we don't know.

Also, archology is finding more and more proof of the history that the bible tells.

Answer 2

Progress....." be ye perfect as my father in heaven is perfect."

The way I see; The father's vast domain is set up for progress, learning by experience is universal and a prerequisite for continuing the journey to paradise. God is fair, thus fairness dictates that free will puts you in charge of your own progress.

Could Jesus have said to the malefactor on the cross " sometime you will be with me in Paradise, but first you must learn and grow where your at, to the fullest, before its time to move on. You have many stops to make before Paradise.


'' I have sheep of many fold" said the master.
Could Jesus be referring to those who have progressed long before even the Earth was formed? The angles, Arch-angels etc,etc...could they be part of progress that simply put; older but not necessarily in spirit any different than you. In other words; they too have, and still do grow and learn.

God is in the heaven OF heavens, perhaps progress is working and growing in each heaven until you reach the heaven of heavens "Paradise"

Provocative.........at least....hey!

PEACE............

You asked a question. But your sermon answers it to your satisfaction. God is love.

Answer 4

you intellectualize too much and will always be haunted by your own intellectualism, or by looking at how many words you just put on the screen you are or will become tortured by your own babbling

Answer 5

A lovely fairy tale you've concocted, but just as much wishful thinking as all the other religions....
