Your premise is false to begin with. God always existed and He was always perfect. "Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever." Hebrews 13:8.<br /><br />Either you believe what God revealed about Himself, including is eternality as Holy Perfect God, and His omniscience, or you don't. It seems that you don't. You prefer your man-made theories to His revealed word. Your stance is a dangerous one, for it is also said, "It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God." (Hebrews 10:31)<br /><br />I use the word to support what I am saying, you present man-made theories. Therefore I offer you this reminder from His word<br /><br />See to it that no one takes you captive by philosophy and empty deceit, according to human tradition, according to the elemental spirits of the world, and not according to Christ. (Colossians 2:8)<br /><br />In the end it will be proved that God's word is true. I hope you believe it fully prior to then.Elizabeth Pratahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04341086233512507156noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2736720231951988221.post-34987796038272451352013-05-11T18:24:15.029-04:002013-05-11T18:24:15.029-04:00You believe God is Perfection, but even if he is a...You believe God is Perfection, but even if he is all- knowing, all that knowledge has to come from somewhere. So in my view, to reach His state, he had to learn from his mistakes, just as we do learn from our mistakes. Jesus, too had to learn from his mistakes, and all the other religious prophets, too. So in a way, This universe is one big experiment, with each previous incarnation of earth each succumbing to a flaw, and then that flaw was remedied in the next earth. So in a way, just as we are growing, God also grows with us, since he created US so he can know his own capabilities and weakness, and what he can do and what he cannot do. Satan is our tester, to test our capabilities so God can learn more about himself. He is omniscient universally, but not in self. So he creates life so he can know more about himself. So that in a way God is constantly learning and evolving, as He creates more life in response to life's life. So if you disagree with me you may find my idea interesting since my version symbolizes the dynamics of life and learning. A perfect and all- knowing god in my view invites stagnation, and if God know all, then he can possibility become stagnant himself. But if God is constantly growing and learning along us then it works with the dynamics of the universe, since as the universe matures, it become more knowledgeable of itself.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2736720231951988221.post-69815825695539392392013-05-11T17:20:40.478-04:002013-05-11T17:20:40.478-04:00Hello Anonymous,
I say to you firmly but lovingly...Hello Anonymous,<br /><br />I say to you firmly but lovingly, that God has nothing to learn from us. He who created us is sovereign, perfect in all wisdom. He is also omniscient, knowing all. He has nothing more to learn. The Potter does not learn from the pot.<br /><br />"Woe to the one who quarrels with his Maker-- An earthenware vessel among the vessels of earth! Will the clay say to the potter, 'What are you doing?' Or the thing you are making say, 'He has no hands '? (Isaiah 45:9)<br /><br />Are we trying to arouse the Lord's jealousy? Are we stronger than he? (1 Corinthians 10:22) <br /><br />His omniscience--<br /><br />Great is our Lord, and abundant in power; his understanding is beyond measure. (Psalm 147:5)<br /><br />Who has measured the Spirit of the Lord, or what man shows him his counsel? Whom did he consult, and who made him understand? Who taught him the path of justice, and taught him knowledge, and showed him the way of understanding? (Isaiah 40:13-14)<br /><br />You mention the singularity a lot, you seem fascinated by it. I am too. But please do not mistake man's technological singularity for God's ever-present existence.<br /><br />As for God making mistakes, you can read the answer to the question "Does God make mistakes?" here<br />http://www.gotquestions.org/does-God-make-mistakes.html<br />Elizabeth Pratahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04341086233512507156noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2736720231951988221.post-45204585476872222742013-05-11T17:07:18.279-04:002013-05-11T17:07:18.279-04:00God is the singularity. And the universe is god. ...God is the singularity. And the universe is god. God was a singularity before he became the entire universe, so in that essence I believe that science and religion can be reconciled in that the let's there be light phase is the equilavent of the 380,000 years where the universe was so bright it was blinding. And the 7 day of creation each corresponds to a specific universal epoch, so my viewpoint is valid. The COSMIC egg YVWH came from is the singularity. And the singularity became matter. YVWH turned these early matter form in new matter forms, some of them necessary for life. Then He shaped some of them and let other shape themselves. Then when He commanded the matter and the energy inside them to obey, some of them rebelled, becoming dark matter and energy respectively. Then he created his Angels, but some of them rebelled and became the demons.<br />At the same time YVWH created earth, but he had to do it slowly, as many of the worlds he created too fast quickly collapsed unto itself, as the civilizations tore each apart. But he realized that the best chance for Earth to survive was gradual change, as HE learns from his past mistakes, hence the 7 epochs of creations. 7 days = 7 epochs. And on the last epoch YVWH rested as it had took too much energy to create Earth.<br /><br />In my view God is learning, as much as we are, so He is still trying to know himself, so he created us to learn about himself, and to learn from his own mistakes.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2736720231951988221.post-23549687130981099462013-04-19T12:31:15.857-04:002013-04-19T12:31:15.857-04:00The big bang...yeah we just had three "big ba...The big bang...yeah we just had three "big bangs" this week, two bomb explosions in Boston and one powerful explosion in Texas. What did they create - order or chaos? Can explosions create order, beauty, and complexity? It doesn't even take a scientist to reason that an explosion does not and cannot create a world. An explosion destroys. An explosion destroys matter. It takes organized matter and disorganizes it, either obliterating it or wreaking havoc. Besides, it takes something to explode in the first place. Where did the original something from the big bang come from?<br /><br />Real science is based on reality and can be tested. We can do our own scientific research right now. We have not one, but three test cases this week to chose from if we truly are interested in finding out what an explosion can do.<br /><br />Texas explosion photo:<br />http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/northamerica/usa/10006354/Texas-explosion-questions-over-safety-record-of-West-Fertilizer-Co.html<br /><br />Boston bombings photos:<br />http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/picturegalleries/worldnews/9996842/In-pictures-Boston-Marathon-bombing-several-die-and-more-than-130-injured.html#?frame=2537289<br /><br />I guess it takes a really clever person like Hawking to make up a story so convincing that thinking people actually believe an explosion created our universe.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2736720231951988221.post-21011230230343490012013-04-19T03:40:35.859-04:002013-04-19T03:40:35.859-04:00I also find it interesting that Stephen Hawking sh...I also find it interesting that Stephen Hawking should devote time in an attempt at proving God, heaven and hell don't exist. It seems to me, such people are really trying to convince themselves.<br /><br />I recently wrote in my own blog about the futility of science when it comes to disproving God. Scientific methodology dictates that a working definition of a thing must be made before it can be proven or disproven through scientific experimentation. Not that I think God can be scientificially defined, but I do find it curious that scientists skip this step and move straight to the big "God does not exist" declaration.<br /><br />The whole big bang theory is also interesting from a point of logic. I see it as a direct result of scientists wanting to learn of the origins of the universe while denying God. In this tradition, physicists also have string theory and 'p-branes' which they suppose are a kind of other-dimensional set of membranes that, when they collide, produce a new universe through a big bang. Interesting, the futility of physicists piling theory upon theory in an attempt to explain universal origins.<br /><br />Although I know why most scientists don't see the problem, its still frustrating, maddening, and depressing to watch as they strive for knowledge while missing the truth.Chris Gramshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15656698451379137635noreply@blogger.com
