Nor do I know where God came from or how He began....such thoughts are way too high for me. However, I think He is Eternal and Infinite, having neither a beginning nor an end...but I can't figure that out yet!

dmatic replies on Jun 17, 2020:

@Corjova Are you suggesting that God is not Eternal? That He had a beginning and an end? That He is not infinite? Scripture says that in Him we live and move and have our being. Our reality is, in a sense, in His subjective mind. In His image and/or imagination we exist. It's fascinating to be sure, and difficult to understand unless He enlightens. But, one cannot get more absolute than that, it would seem. Not sure about your assertion that God can only relate to His creation in three ways, as it also seems that He can do anything He wants, and is not confined to a box of our making.

@SeveredTie Thanks! Good synopsis. It all probably boils down to money and power, or rather, should I say, wealth? I think the main reason Kennedy was murdered was he was going to circumvent the Federal Reserve by issuing Treasury Notes, which would have interfered with the private bankers' (Financiers) plan to enslave the world's national economies to their system. I've heard many theories of who is actually in charge of this whole diabolical plan to rule the world and controlling it, the secret societies, the three hundred, the Illuminati, International Financiers, the NWO, CFR, Jesuits, Vatican, etc. I agree with your assessment that they control through fear and intimidation, while preoccupying everyone with mundane activities to put the light off them and what they are doing, to keep everyone busy fighting each other while they implement their control stuff. I like your acronym G>O>D. Gold Oil and Drugs. What I see happening, however, is an awakening by the sleeping giant and panic amongst the would be powers that think they be. It appears to me that 'they' know they have but a short time, because their contract to rule has been rescinded by a Higher Power. Many, throughout the centuries, have prayed "Thy Kingdom Come"....and it appears to me He is answering that prayer.....and using them to do it.

@BlackoutNJ I think we all struggle. Or should. Yes, we are all flawed in various ways, so we struggle to overcome, to become better. You say: "you can legislate feelings towards others"? Interesting. Maybe you meant to say: "cannot"? God has "legislated" that we love one another, even our enemies...a challenge, to be sure! So, how do we DO that? Is love a feeling? Or, is it a verb? I am discovering that I CAN love a flawed, "enemy", because I know that someday he/she will be my friend. Even if that enemy doesn't seem to have my best interest in mind and, in fact, wishes ill upon me, it is a wonderful challenge to learn how to love him anyway! Then, maybe, just maybe, I can become a better person!

@BlackoutNJ No. Sorry. I just make this stuff up as I go along....trying to work for justice and liberty for all....like I see you doing! I, of course, also liked what you wrote about fathers. Our culture, in my opinion, is part of the problem, as it seems to disintegrate further and further away from God's instructions on how to live peaceably and justly. Apparently, many don't agree with Him and think they can do a better job of organizing a righteous society than He? There is a lot 'wrong' with our world, isn't there? Injustice and oppression being obvious, but it seems that many don't even know what justice for everyone that harms no one even looks like! So, basically, my opinion is that until we come into agreement with God's definitions of what is just and what is not, we will be floundering in a world of chaos. Until we establish an economy based on just rules and impartiality we will experience resentments and discontent, which breeds anger, and most of us know that anger is often a very destructive force!

Regarding your quotation of Jesus, again, I would refer you to your concordance and a Greek dictionary, assuming that Jesus' quote was spoken in Greek. Otherwise, go to a Hebrew/Aramaic dictionary and look up the definition of the word translated as "eternal". It is highly possible that the word does not mean what you assume it means.

(Rev. 20:13-14) Have you ever studied the actual meaning of the Hebrew and Greek words that have erroneously been translated into English as "eternal" and "everlasting"? An eye-opening study to be sure. Basically, since time is fleeting for me, they describe an undefined period of time, but NOT endless. I look forward to a good discussion with you, Ian. Thanks

dmatic replies on May 13, 2020:

@Ian_Newton To your secondly post: These are deep topics, to be sure, so, ....I don't want to pretend I know all the answers, but, in my thinking, which, admittedly may need adjustment, I have generally thought that God is the Creator of ALL things. In my thinking there is only One Sovereign, that is God. The Most High God, if you will. All things that exist answer to Him. He is above ALL and is over ALL. All things that exist are for His pleasure, so to speak. And, I believe that He has purpose for everything. These are just some fundamentals that I have relied on to try to understand "reality". Anyway, ALL created things, including satan, the serpent, submit to God and are accountable to Him. We all exist at His pleasure and for His purpose. So, may I ask how you explain the existence of evil and why it exists? Presumably, you acknowledge the attributes of God, i.e. omniscience, omnipotency and omnipresence?

dmatic replies on May 13, 2020:

@Ian_Newton Isaiah 45:7, "I form the light and create darkness: I make peace and create evil: I the LORD do all these ." So, yes, the darkness that was over the face of the deep was created by God. Scripture says that ALL things were created by God (Col. 1:16-17), which, I understand to be all things, including shatan, the serpent, the devil, that old dragon. Do you disagree? Do you think it not created by God? Gen. 3:1"Now the serpent was more subtil (cunning)(evil?) than any beast of the field that the LORD GOD made...." I suppose one could read that that this serpent was not created by God, but was more cunning than anything God had made. However, if that is true, then there are other Creators? Other Gods? Interesting. I have mostly understood it to mean that the serpent was the most cunning or evil thing that God had created, even mpre so than all the other beasts of the field He had made. Jesus said that he had been a murderer and liar from the beginning...in other words, he wasn't some good angel that fell away as people, in my opinion, mistakenly suggest the Is. 14 and Ez 28 passages refer to.

Excellent! Thanks for sharing! I am also interested in the comment "You are what you hate". Will need to ponder that one. Thanks

dmatic replies on May 7, 2020:

@APoizner Yes, I get that! But, also, I suppose, that which we hate in others is what is inside us as well? If only we could see ourselves in others....maybe we could learn how to love better? We seem to be reflections of each other, too, sometimes. Thanks

@AdrianRainbow ERM? "Disease. An epiretinal membrane (ERM) is a fibrocellular tissue found on the inner surface of the retina. It is semi-translucent and proliferates on the surface of the internal limiting membrane.Oct 21, 2019" To your first question above: I read the link, wondered what you were talking about, asked, then the next day read your answer. Guess I forgot about the report from the day before. Sorry. I still don't get your point. You don't think girls should compete in Bible knowledge contests? Or, are you mocking Paul's letter to Timothy? . By the way (BTW) there are over 10 answers to the question to google about what ERM means.

dmatic replies on Apr 22, 2020:

@TimTuolomne You wrote: "*We see Scripture differently I guess. Inevitable I suppose. I am no theological scholar, and I am surely wrong about this in some way.*" There is a very much in life and in Scripture for everyone to see differently, but, it seems to me that if we are "wrong" about something we should want to know about it, but, maybe that's just me. You've opened up many ideas to be discussed and examined, and I would enjoy looking at them individually with you sometime, but regarding "free" will, it seems to me that we have all been given a will. A will to choose a course of thought or action, for which we are held responsible. It appears that that will, or volition, resides within the soul. This authority, or power to choose is influenced by many things, among which are, natural laws, the Spirit, the flesh, God's purpose, etc. Scripture tells us that no man can come to Christ unless the Father drags him, or draws him. In other words, people cannot simply choose to believe. It is not up to them. The New Covenant, however, among other things, promises that "All will know God", from the least to the greatest and that He will not hold their iniquity against them. God did not change. He continues to be Love, as He was in the "Old Testament". His judgments and punishments and disciplines and chastisement are for our own good. They teach us about righteousness.

dmatic replies on Apr 21, 2020:

@Biosphere Me agree with you? Uh oh, better check my stance! :) If by mortal man, you refer to the "natural man", I would agree with you. Have you heard the terms Spiritual man, soulish man, and natural man? I suppose the three types could be described from their perspective? How they each approach this thing called life. Some believe that what composes a man/woman is a spirit, a soul and a body. The spirit and soul, though different, are embodied within the physical form of each individual body. Is the spirit within immortal? Is the soul immortal? We know the body is not. At least, not yet. Because bodies die everyday. A question often pops up among those who want to know...is what happens to a person when that person's body dies? I, personally, do not believe that the soul, whatever it is, is not immortal, meaning incapable of dying. The soul that sins will die. Does not say anything about the spirit of the person either, but I think the spirit within us, that spark of life, from God, is immortal. As for communicating with God. Apparently, that can only be done spiritually, since He is Spirit and seeks to commune in spirit, whatever that means. The natural man, cannot perceive, yet, the things of the Spirit, because they are spiritually discerned. Those things are foolishness to him, because he cannot see, his soul, which is where the mind, the will and the emotion reside, only thinks "Physically", "Naturally", and he doesn't like to be fooled because he has been before and he doesn't like it! He is "earth-bound" so-to-speak. Concerned mostly about the things of this earth, where do I get gas? What shall I eat today? How am I going to pay my bills? How can I get more money so as to become more powerful and then, finally, get to do what I want? Stuff like that. I gotta go now, but if you want to talk, let's do.

@TimTuolomne Certainly, He has given us a will, but, just not sure, yet, about the "free" part, as in uninfluenced by outside forces. "There is no punishment here on Earth."? Not sure, again, what you are talking about with that statement. He punishes those whom He loves. Chastises, disciplines.....for a purpose...to teach us righteousness. Right?

@JacksonNought You wrote: *You can say that predictions by someone like Nostradamus were due to divine revelation. Ok, but I have never met a Christian who would agree with this. I have heard that Nostradamus could not be a true prophet of God, because a true prophet of God is never incorrect and will lead others to worship God - Nostradamus was wrong at times and didn't try to bring people to the Bible. Well, the same way his accurate predictions can be explained away, so can those of the Bible.* Maybe you haven't met very many Christians? Many Christians I know, believe that God can speak through donkeys or asses as the case may be. God is not limited to only use "Christians" to reveal His will or prophecies. For evidence, I present, King Cyrus and Donald Trump. (This is not to say that they are not, nor will ever be "Christian") "True prophets" are human, of course, and sometimes need to learn themselves. The Biblical prophet, Jonah, was wrong wasn't he, in his declaration to Nineveh? He declared their destruction within 40 days, I think, yet, God saw their reaction to His message to them, from His servant Jonah and 'repented" of the destruction He had prophesied. (Which is an interesting idea to follow if one believes in the all-knowing and omnipresence of God. Didn't He know they, Nineveh, were going to repent of their wickedness and cry out to God for mercy, after believing the words of God's prophet?) Of course He did. Maybe He was encouraging and training His earlier astray prophet for greater revelation in the future? many other possibilities exist. But it also shows the heart of mercy and love that God has for His creatures. I'm not sure about Nostradamus, nor have I studied his hard to understand and easy to misunderstand quatrains. I would love to talk with him, but he is dead. Maybe later, after one of the resurrections. I don't feel a need to judge him to try to fit my understanding of how God chooses to use His creation. Then you wrote: "I could just as easily say that Jesus was a time traveler, and used knowledge of events and advanced technology to fool people into worshiping him. Prove me wrong." You could say that, I suppose, unless God overruled you and struck you dead before you had opportunity to get the words out of your mouth...but, it appears that Jesus wasn't seeking worshippers. Don't you agree, from your study of the Bible? He did say that His Father, and our Father, does seek those who will worship Him in spirit and in truth. But, Jesus always corrected people when they wanted to broadcast His good-works, and, asked them: "Why do you call me good? there is only one good, and that is God." Jesus didn't seek men's praise, but rather, taught us to seek the praise that comes form God. Men are pretty fickle.

@Biosphere Sorry. Unless God reveals the meaning of His Word, it may be impossible for man to discern it. I thought you knew that! Most of us are blind....we don't see....we don't understand. Until He heals us of our blindness, we cannot see. The Word of God is sharper than any two edged sword, and is able to discern the thoughts and intents of the heart...and is able to divide between soul and spirit. Many think soul and spirit are the same thing... God's thoughts are higher than ours...the natural man cannot discern the things of the God for they are spiritually discerned....

dmatic replies on Apr 15, 2020:

@JacksonNought Good deduction! I have found the Bible to be sound and true. I understand your skepticism concerning the very many who misread it, or misinterpret it...all claiming to have the right spin. Apparently, you haven't studied it, however, to claim that the prophecies it describes have not been fulfilled. Maybe you have read something from somebody that claimed to have studied it and you believe their arguments. But, an unbiased scientific approach to find the truth of the matter may be what is needed. Nostradamus, or Daniel, or anyone else for that matter, does not have the ability to prophesy on their own...only God knows the future. And, IF God shares that knowledge with anyone and asks, or tells, them to reveal it, they may do so. Many examples of people assuming to have the "gift", but were speaking on their own authority. Examples even described in the Bible. False prophets abound! I haven't studied all of Nostrdamus' predictions, or some other famous 'seers', but if God shared some insight with them....what is wrong with that? If what they say happens....it makes an honest seeker of truth wonder, or, at least it should!

@JacksonNought Good question. I'll ask Him. Well, I have to say you bring up many good points. To know a God we cannot see is generally up to Him. He either reveals Himself, or He doesn't. He either opens our eyes, or doesn't, yet. He will, though open them for everybody, in His time. Don't worry about the mocking comment. I was referring to the calling of God sky wizzard...etc. I'm not sure how you answer the issue of prophecy, however. It seems to me that only God could do that. Prophesy of events far into the future that have been fulfilled...exactly. I'm talking of thousands of years before the thing happens, God prophesies it. What, if not proof of His existence, is that?

dmatic replies on Apr 14, 2020:

@JacksonNought Sorry....Called away for a bit...I wanted to try to answer these of yours: *And what are we being woken up to? As you said, there is the question of how involved a creator would even be: constantly interfering and judging? sitting back and observing? completely ignorant and ambivalent towards our existence? Who is to even say this creator is still around, and didn't cease to exist after setting things in motion? Who is to say there aren't multiple creators? And finally, should this even change how we live our lives? Do we then have to pick one of the major religions to subscribe to?* Awaken to the Truth. I believe that our Creator is way more involved in all of our lives than we have any idea about. His thoughts toward us are beyond count...to each of us... I believe The Creator is infinite and dwells in another dimension that we may not yet be aware of. I believe Him/Her to be Spirit, but cannot tell you what that even means. I believe God loves us all, even the wicked among us and has purpose for each and every one of us. I believe God has a glorious plan that He is unfolding in "His" time. I don't yet know how many dimensions there are in this reality, but I am hopeful that I will understand them more and more as "time" (one of these dimensions) moves spirals on. Some people 'see' God in Everything....which I think is a proper view. I think that all that exists came out from God. It did not come from "nothing". Everything is "His" by right of Creation and He will lose none of Himself to some fairy tale eternal torment in hell! It just gets a little old to hear those who seem not to know Him, nor remember Him, mock Him. You have not done that and I appreciate that. Thanks

dmatic replies on Apr 14, 2020:

@JacksonNought Just read your second response, here. More good questions.The quest for understanding is a good and valid quest. Of course we should seek to find and know the Creator! In my view, the more we understand about the nature of God's creation, the more we understand Him/Her. The more we stubbornly refuse to acknowledge the Truth and deny the Creator's existence, the longer it would seem to take to get to understanding. Science proves God's existence ultimately. I've heard it said: "A little science may move a person away from God, but a lot of science brings him closer." Why do people refuse to consider the possibility of an intelligent (obviously) designer of all that exists? In my view, it ultimately is that they want to be their own "god" and decide for themselves how this universe is made, rather than submit to another's creative design. Gotta go for now.

But, you bring up a lot of good stuff. And I appreciate you answering soundly, that you know not how the universe came into being. I suppose everyone comes up with a story, somehow. Certainly, there are many fiction novels as well as non-fiction, but we can learn from all of them, I suppose. It's a fascinating life, isn't it?

Is there a religion that is regarded as deism?

"Instead, deism holds that religious beliefs must be founded on human reason and observed features of the natural world, ..." This, I think, would be called humanism...a religion that holds that humans and human reason are supreme. It is obvious, to any thinking mind, "that these sources reveal ...

@JacksonNought Good point.I didn't think. I don't mean to offend anyone, unless, of course, it is useful to wake them up? So, if I may, where do you think all this reality that we see and are experiencing came from? Or, more personally, where do you think you came from? There is order to the universe, correct? How is that if entropy is true? Sane, in my mind, means sound. Sound thinking. When someone looks at a painting, a work of art, a sound/sane individual knows there was a creator of that work of art, even though he/she may not be able to see the creator. An unsound or insane individual may think it just appeared....without a creator.

@Naomi Yes. Obviously, most sane people realize there is a God Who created all this. The question is how involved is this Creator with His/Her Creation? It seems to me that deists thought that the Creator just got this all going and is simply observing, without "interfering.....?

If they were fighting to the death, your opinion of the problem of the world would be solved, when one finally emerged victorious?

@Supra_Librix Indeed, enemies are good. When we see the face of God in our enemies, we shall know we are progressing in knowledge.

Josf-Kelley comments on Apr 12, 2020:

When the Libertarian Party membership combines with the Oath Keepers, 3 Percenters, and Grand Jury proponents, the result may be a combined effort to return to rule of law: Voluntary Association for Mutual Defense, with common law due process. If that happens then power is moved from the few to ...

@Josf-Kelley Profound, indeed! Random selection of political rulers? I like it! That way, God would decide! Perfect.

Biosphere comments on Apr 5, 2020:

Following, and believing in the generational 'hand me down' stories about Jesus Christ being god, totally sucks. I tried it. In my youth, I forced myself into believing it on pure wreckless faith, far more than the average hardcore southern Baptist Christian. I did so before I even investigated ...

@Biosphere I didn't make my point very clear. Sorry. The point was that people that have studied the scriptures in their original form have declared that it was impossible for man to formulate and write the scriptures through the millennia....it had to be divinely inspired.
