Ultimate proof of God?

Proof weakens faith

Nothing is ultimately proved in this world of the seen primarily because it is based on change. There are a host of books written specifically to prove the existence of God. They say this in their titles. They say this even though it says in the Bible we can only please God through belief. Why does it say that? I would say it is because if we can prove God exists then there is no purpose or power in faith. 

The Power is in Belief

If you accept actual proof then you wipe out completely any need to believe. Firstly, we ultimately can not prove anything with certainty, we can only prove to our own personal satisfaction. Secondly, the single presence of constant change in the seen world precludes all proof accompanied by certainty. Proof then is merely a stumbling block to faith, which is the purpose of proof. It is stumbling block to our belief principally, one might say. by doubt brought into the personal picture by the devil. All thought, even in the physical sciences, depends on faith, on the personal power to believe. 

An Epiphany face to face

God Places Ideas in Our Hearts

Once one experiences an epiphany it is hard to in anyway debate or over rule it any respect. It was not a logical process on my part but was something simply put within my heart as a natural established fact. 

Intervention

I have no way of knowing this, but I strongly suspect others have had similar revelatory experiences. I am thinking now of Moses speaking with God, asking Him who shall he say sent him? That is to say, who gives him, Moses, the authority to tell all this present experience with God to the people?  Why should they take his word for it? 

This is when God defined Himself, saying I am that I am. I can't help suspect Moses, my view anyway, experienced an epiphany. This is why I trust Moses' account of who God is and accept it as the earliest definition, which makes it the first definition of God, given by God Himself. 

But when I Googled a definition of God the answer returned to me was that He was a Supreme Being. No mention of God indicating that He exists. Also, such questions were presented as who invented God and other similar perspectives. I noticed they all relied on the conscious definitions of men rather than speaking of God's own definition as reported by Moses. Later.....

Persistent prayers

Faith Forever Never Ending

Healing, one of the central benefits of the Cross along with the forgiveness of sins, is pressing into my thoughts now amid current wide spread concerns. Since Jesus has already

Beware Uncertainty

healed us by His stripes on the Cross, it remains only for us to believe it and believe that He can do it. This seems correct to me but if there is any doubt in it then, of course it likely would  not happen. There is a healing prayer in Manna permanently located in that first page's left hand column. I approach healing attempting to follow the way Jesus instructed by example.  Acceptance of a healing and permanent belief are the persistent bedrock in healing prayers.(See also Monday, 23 November 2020 in Manna.)

Every day upon waking..

I appreciate God's existence, and the existence He has given me. 

God is Existence

"Basically, when God told Moses “I AM WHO I AM,” he was giving the translation of what Yahweh means (Exodus 3:13-14). “I AM WHO I AM” is Ehyeh Asher Ehyeh in Hebrew. He was saying in effect, 

“My name is the fact that I exist.”

Now, isn’t that a perfectly fitting name for the Almighty?"

 Ecclesiastes 7:24 Far off is true existence, and very deep; who may have knowledge of it?

What a conception!

Try this link to see our Milky Way and the location of our sun as  Our Star in the Milky Way  Run your cursor over image to see where  the earth fits into the galaxy, which is only one of an infinite number of uncountable other galaxies. The unimaginable number of delicate conditions that support us are too far unfathomable for me to conceive. Hard to avoid, I can only certainly conclude, the acknowledgement of a greater conceiver than myself is in the mix.  Left double click to even further "increase" the size of the image.

Vibration question

What is the story with vibration, or waves, that appear to be so central to theories of physical science.?  

From Google: Everything in the  universe is constantly in motion, vibrating. Even objects that appear to be stationary are in fact vibrating, oscillating, resonating, at various frequencies. 

So it seems similar to the heart, and its' in-voluntary beating. Now where did those rhythms come from?

Fiction is Future

More than a few science fiction stories, considered outlandish when written, are where future physical science ideas were born. The first science fiction story, the very first science fiction story, told about going to the moon appeared from the unseen in the mid 1600s. 

It was written as an amusement by Cyrano de Bergerac and he was credited by Arthur C. Clarke for using the first idea for a ramjet engine. This is how the unknown unseen morphs into the recognizable seen. 

     Once  existing still everything keeps changing. The jet into, very possibly in  my view, into unlimited electro magnetic energy drawn from the mass of the planet itself.  After that? Do not under estimate Scotty. Everyone's imagination is as wild as anyone else's. (See Today's Photo)

Perception and Permanence

Time may be entirely perception. Watched pots do not boil. Hold your hand over the fire. Waking up after falling into a deep sleep. We are all going to die, but not right now. Time is distant

between fifteen and 15 1/2. Don't trust anyone over thirty. What happened to forty? Time only exists in a comparative state which means it cannot exist in a individual relationship. 

Cheaper and safer....

 Why should we go to Mars? We can send automatic machines to report back via videos and make tests while sending the results back to earth. Here we sit in relative safety, no threats to our health, no complications relating to bodily functions. Cheaper and safer, and even quicker,
like I said.
