Who is God?

[arunangelo]

Force is a non-matter entity that exerts influence on its surroundings. Because it is non-matter it cannot be felt or seen. There are different types of forces in the universe. Some maintain the planets in perfect balance. Some regulate the weather patterns and seasons on earth. Some keep living things in proper order and make adoptive and evolutionary changes to keep them in existence. Life-force is another type of force, which is found in all living entities. It keeps a living entity in a state of being alive. It also coordinates the building of a single cell living entity into a multi-cellular highly complex structure. In the case of a human being it converts a single cell human being into a fully formed human being with trillions of cells and a highly complex brain with 110 billion cells and trillions upon trillion of connections. All of the activities of the above mentioned forces are highly complex, intelligent, inter-connected and well coordinated. Therefore, there has to be an infinitely intelligent force which created these forces; programmed their activities and sustains their presence. This force is God.

In addition to being the creator of the universe, God is also the spirit of love that fills the universe. The perfection of His love, which is His Spirit, is revealed in Jesus; (who is God in human form) who sacrificed His life on the cross so that those who offended Him and betrayed Him may have eternal life. Furthermore, when He was carrying His cross, He was concerned about the pain and suffering we will face (because of our sins), rather than His own suffering (Luke 23:27-29). His Spirit saves us from sin by making us selflessness, sacrificial, charitable, merciful and forgiving (Ezekiel 36:27). His Spirit also sustains the desire in our heart to perform works of charity when we are discouraged and tired (Matthew 11:30

 

[LifeinJesus]

Of course. Everything in this universe is obviously intelligently designed and works like an flawless computer system. However, this also proves God had a hand in creating everything. So why would He create evolution? There are no limits as to what God can do. If He can create the universe which He expands (Psalms say so), then He can also create life in less than the blink of an eye.

 

[David777]

All things are possible.

Sometimes, I suspect that mankind is not entirely honest in science.

An evolutionary viewpoint is a must in some modern disciplines within science. It is a primary doctrine of those who believe in science. Debate on this issue is not tolerated, the prophet Darwin laid down the idea. Praise the prophet. Questioning Darwin is heresy. There are zealouts who defend evolution, they will travel from one country to another to gain converts to thier theory. And so on.

Evolution is a theory not a law of science. Don't ever forget this. Proof for the theory is difficult to find. Transitional species are very rare or may not even exist.

Most fundamentalists interpret the days of Genesis as literal days. Why not, I have not seen one reason yet to stop this view.

What happens if God decides to create life with an apparent veneer of evolution. God can if He wants to do that. God can create a monkey similiar to man in DNA. How else can He catch the wise.

God may have created an aged universe. When He said "let thier be light", He may have allowed the light to be arriving at the earth at the same time from all light sources within the universe.

This speculation goes forever, so many variations.

You may not be aware, but I will tell you a secret.
Mankind still has not developed a THEORY OF KNOWLEDGE. It is still a contentious area within philosphy. Without a theory on knowledge all the knowledge we have obtained may well be in vain.

I don't pay to much attention to science, it does not contain the words of eternal life. As far as the true life is concerned it is a waste of time.

Beware of doctrines in any schools of thought including religion.
Sometimes, the doctrines do not quite fit the data.

WE did not evolve from animals. However, we do evolve to suite our environment. God has put this mechanism in us so that we can adopt to different evironments.

 

[LifeinJesus]

I believe the body "adapts" in certain environments and situations. Like when we get cold, we get goosebumps and we clench up automatically to gain heat. If a mother ever has to save a baby, her body will give her all the power she needs to do that. If we are ever near death or fear of death, adrenalin will kick in and help us.

Atheists say that these systems just came to be but they are clearly the result of an intelligent being designing them to be so. Just like an anti virus is designed to stop viruses from entering our computers.

Concerning the nature of God. I believe He is invisible in appearance like the Epistle to the Romans says. I believe His true nature is The Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is God. But when God takes a form (fire when guiding the Israelites out of Egypt on when he was "walking in the garden of Eden"), it's not His true form.

When Moses asked for God's name. God replied and said "I AM WHO I AM" which clearly states that God has always been and just was.
