ArchivedAtheists, Buddhism, Pagan, or the Jewish religionHello again, So you are saying that Jesus wasn't God? Even though the Bible tells you He was, and other historical documents also say that He was? Are you sure you are on the right path? Basing all of your faith on such a notion is seriously flawed, if you ask me. Christians do say God is an entity that envelops the universe with His energy. " Hebrews 1:3 says, "And He (Jesus) is the radiance of His glory and the exact representation of His nature, and upholds all things by the word of His power. When He had made purification of sins, He sat down on the right hand of the majesty on high," And again, Hebrews 11:3 says, " For by faith we understand that the worlds were prepared by the word of God (John 1:1, 14), so that what is seen was not made out of things which are visible." Sounds like God's energy, synonymous with His Word( which is Personified, the 2nd Person of the Holy Trinity, The Son of God) is an Entity that envelops the universe( the things which are visible) with His energy (interestingly enough "Power" is the greek word "dunamis", from which we derive the word "dynamite". . . big bang anyone? And the Spirit of God, also Personified as the 3rd Person of the Holy Trinity, The Holy Ghost, is synonymously described as the "dunamis" of God). Genesis 1 says," In the beginning (10 dimensional string theory?) God created the heavens and the earth. And the earth was a waste and emptiness, (Pre-biotic soup, anyone?) and darkness was over the surface of the deep, (Cosmic dust clouds?) and the Spirit of God. . ." (Spirit is the hebrew word, "ruwach"). . . This is how Strong's defines it: ". . .and the Spirit of God was moving over the surface of the waters.Then God said(His Word, remember is also Personified. . Jesus is the Word) 'Let there be light'; and there was light." God does indeed spread His energy (His Spirit) enveloping the universe, and ". . .upholds all things by the Word of His Power. . ." Blessed Trinity. "And the Word became flesh and dwelt (tabernacled with us, like the tabernacles of the OT, and the temples that are our own flesh bodies) among us, and we beheld His Glory, Glory as of the Only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth." (John 1:14) It is a mystery yes, and yet it is not different from what modern science tells us. Only it is a Person, behind the 4 fundamental forces in the universe, outside of our 4 dimensions, and responsible, not only for all that is visible, but all that is. Christianity has always believed that Jesus is fully God and Fully Man. Men dream of being gods, but only God can make men, and become one of them: Condescending to veil Himself in humanity. We cannot build towers to the Heavens, but He can make His dwelling among men. He has. . 2000 years ago in a remote part of the earth. His kingdom is advancing and He will come again in the flesh, and the whole world will ". . .see Him as He truly is." It is the message of hope for the world,. It is the terror of the world. "The best of times, and the worst of times". . if you will. A Mystery, a paradox. . .An impossibility! And yet, this "myth" became fact. In history! Magic tricks require magicians. . .Miracles require miracle workers. . . Nothing produces. . . well, nothing. Naturalism (the philosphical kind) posits impossible miracles of its own. Only nothing at all caused them. Now thats a leap of faith! 8) Regards, Everett |
