Why does trying to explain all that God has done in a lifetime seem like it would take more time than any one person has available in a lifetime?
Could that be part of the over all plan of God where He stretches out the process which does require a "Personal" Investigation or maybe better stated a life time "Interrogation" of His person?
Why is this thing most personalities acknowledge as "Life" NOT seen or observed as a plan? A plan where you and I are given an opportunity to participate within that plan?
Why is it our existence is always being discussed and/or observed as if it's "My life or Our Lives"? Is it any wonder why anything beyond that type of a thought gets headed or can easily get lead astray?
Why does God not simply put everything He's done or intends to do in capsule form? Such a dosage where anyone who chooses to take that pill is suddenly made aware of everything God has to say? Where does that leave room for a voluntary discovery made?
Sounds like something out of the Matrix movie to me?
What is it that defines any man who does NOT walk according to the law of the spirit God says ONLY He can provide?
Ps 119:1-2
Blessed are they whose ways are blameless, who walk according to the law of the LORD.
Blessed are they who keep his statutes and seek him with all their heart. NIV
2 Cor 6:16-18
As God has said: "I will live with them and walk among them, and I will be their God, and they will be my people."
"Therefore come out from them and be separate, says the Lord.
Touch no unclean thing, and I will receive you." "I will be a Father to you,
and you will be my sons and daughters, NIV
Consider the likes of Moses, the one man most who claim Christianity as their faith of Choice also believe recorded in writing(s) the very foundations upon which Christianity is built. The telling of what most believe to be a true accounting of the interaction of God with a particular sect of humanity often referred to as "Israel".
The name Israel also believed to be a said "God" assigned New Name that was representative of a man who once endured many challenges who existed and encountered his life under the watchful eyes of that same God.
This same man who became the Father of twelve tribes one of which later produced the resulting people who became what Christianity also refers to as "Gods chosen people".
Why the importance in knowing of any mans Father? Why did the whole of this nation known as Israel acknowledge their progenitor (Father) as the God of Abraham, Issac and Jacob (Israel)?
Not only is this a great story but one that's hard to track if the lineage is ever broken or mans progenitor ever gets brought into question.
When placed in that kind of light I can see why it's easy where some to suggest there's not some form of a God, but more importantly I could see how much room it leaves for a God who is also observed as "Vague" or NOT precisely defined? How does the word "Absolute" find a home in your thinking?
The type of vague God (for lack of a better term) who can't be thoroughly explained based on a blurred lineage? Especially under the terms of undeniable "Proof " being remotely possible that same progenitor (Father) also truly exist.
Why is it the human physical body more often ends being the dominate consideration which then defines who a person is?
Why doesn't the human body get perceived as a specific physical address that's been strategically situated on a large globe (earth) as part of a much larger plan?
People have no problem making light of the imagery while suggesting with words such as the "Bigger Picture" or greater "Scheme" of things, yet what does the word of God teach about schemes He did NOT plan or intend for man to participate in?
The apostle Paul was NOT writing as he did ONLY to discuss those who WERE so OBVIOUSLY walking in the wisdom of God did he?
2 Cor 2:8-11
The reason I wrote you was to see if you would stand the test and be obedient in everything. If you forgive anyone, I also forgive him. And what I have forgiven — if there was anything to forgive — I have forgiven in the sight of Christ for your sake, in order that Satan might not outwit us. For we are not unaware of his schemes .
NIV
From one man he made every nation of men, that they should inhabit the whole earth; and he determined the times set for them and the exact places where they should live.
God did this so that men would seek him and perhaps reach out for him and find him, though he is not far from each one of us. 'For in him we live and move and have our being.' As some of your own poets have said, 'We are his offspring.'
NIV
Eccl 7:25
So I turned my mind to understand, to investigate and to search out wisdom and the scheme of things
and to understand the stupidity of wickedness and the madness of folly.
NIV
In this present life, is it the case of what you "Find" or instead the truthful matter that only has concern for what you believe to be True. sw
James 1:2-8
Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds, 3 because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance. Perseverance must finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything.
If any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to him.
But when he asks, he must believe and not doubt, because he who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind. That man should not think he will receive anything from the Lord; 8 he is a double-minded man, unstable in all he does.
NIV
In terms of an introduction made consider this, what value does the story Moses told hold if ever the Father before the one presently being written about is disregarded or could be discredited?
Who was the Father of Israel and who was His Father before him all the way back to the very "First" man birthed into this world? That is also assuming the theory that all mankind came from one man doesn't get abandoned?
That same conversation being one where time didn't permit discussing exactly what that very FIRST "Birth" looked like or who his mother was or where she came from?
Just think, even today with all the supposed "Technology" and scientifically acquired knowledge mankind assumes is trust worthy, beyond theory he (mankind) still can't explain without a replacement theory where he came from?
Theory to interpret as what each man believes without some type of faith in everything he's been told from one generation to the next having accepted same as the "Truth" that hasn't been thoroughly investigated?
Have you ever wondered why there's holes in Swiss cheese? Especially that synthetic Swiss cheese they produce today? Honestly I have no clue, yet at a "Glance" how many people have been trained to recognize "Swiss" cheese from those same holes that can't be explained without some type of accompanied theory?
Maybe because no ones asking? Just food for thought...but let's get back to the topic of progenitor (Father).
Provided you could trace the progenitor consideration out as far back as Tangible records could also support those claims, how far back do present day records go? When was the first birth certificate issued?
That question doesn't even include how many bastard or undocumented children there were between the first recorded birth of a man and the most recent child born?
Could you imagine trying to retell the story of a progenitor in reverse order today? And that while not only trying to trace out but trust the lineage of a person based on what is "Said' in the absence of official records?
That order beginning from such supposedly well kept, trusted and safe guarded records "Kept" we have on file today?
Talk about having "faith" in something or due diligence and process.....
Some today assume they can dissect and explain "Away" what has taken God thousands of years to bring to pass in the short amount of time required not only to "Perform" their own research but prepare their informative "Exegesis" for the consideration of as many that will seek it out.
In an effort to know more about yourself who does a person seek out for those details?
How do you personally find such efforts?
Is your theory one that based on what you been told or what has been revealed to you and that beyond doubting?
Exactly why is it NOT being seen as important enough to know more about a name today? Why have names become meaningless to so many people beyond the recognition where "Hey You" or "Excuse Me" can arrest your attention?
Does the importance of name recognition end with you or does it begin with the clarification of the name of your God?
Is your God only a G-O-D entity easily confused with the performance of another God whose been generated from moral and/or mortal theories?
Who is your father and who is the Father of your spirit you have accepted that gives your mortal body Life as the ONE you've chosen to listen to?
It's too easy to justify one thing by denying another that would otherwise explain so much more? As if a "Thing" or someone as a person who is vague who then turns out NOT be a Good description of a Good Father?
Have you considered the meaning of the Name of "Christ" recently? Have you made the determination as to who sent Him? If yes what is His name? The same Father who gave you and your earthly father's mortal bodies the experience of a physical existence?
In this particular address God was talking to the proverbial "Them", yet does what Christ say somehow excuse or exclude you from the consideration of being a Son? Notice Christ didn't name names of point at any one man, instead He simply faithfully declared the truth as to what defines the enemies of His Father!
John 8:44-47
You belong to your father, the devil, and you want to carry out your father's desire.
He was a murderer from the beginning, not holding to the truth, for there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks his native language, for he is a liar and the father of lies . Yet because I tell the truth, you do not believe me!
Can any of you prove me guilty of sin? If I am telling the truth, why don't you believe me? He who belongs to God hears what God says. The reason you do not hear is that you do not belong to God."
NIV
I think this is why we have to take all thoughts captive and bring it into obedience to Christ (the Word of God), because the enemy lies in the carnal mind which will question, as it always has questioned, what God says.
ReplyDeleteWhat God speaks to us is good, what the carnal mind speaks in its reasoning with and questioning His word to us is evil.
If we turn the word 'live' around it spells 'evil', and this to me is a sign of encouragement that accompanies God's word (Jesus) and what it brings to believe and trust in Him (eternal life) as opposed to what it brings to go against what He speaks to us through that Word.(death) It is a spiritual battle which Jesus has already won and one which trust in Him enables us also to become children of God. He was the firstborn of many brethren.
