Faith Cannot Exist Alongside Proof

Proof Only Exists to Our Own Satisfaction

If anyone could actually prove God existed, then it would remove God from all consideration regarding Faith. The ancient writers recorded that God is not impressed with anyone's proof, only Faith.

Therefore, anyone impressed with proofs would know that proofs are new and improved by less than viral facts more often than generationally. Nothing can actually be proved without fail except to one's own satisfaction or the betting odds. 

The next day's rising of the sun maybe a good bet but all chips are off the table if it explodes inexplicably. Write me if that happens, or just send the even money. Don't worry I won't be counting the zeros.    

People, similar to planets, carry weight according to their mass, attracting the lessers like the moon to the earth. Every individual is a witness, and like planets, are in different orbits adopting views influenced by their own orbits.

Time Changes Everything

Then, we have to rewind the time thingie. There are more of these theories than seconds in just one of those "billions of years" predictions. How accurate can one of those billions of trillions of years predictions be? If the world was in ice millions of years ago, how meaningful can anyone be in such a wide and local time frame?  

Meanwhile God is aware of our predictions all the way from the present tense. That is how God knows the future while the reckless among us think He cheats. From my perspective, for me, I catch up to the future as soon it falls into the past pretty much all of the time.

In Your Light we see light

Psalm 36:9

Hard getting ahead of the idea of God  

Why I worship God is because I am stunned by all the evidence and intricate beauty of existence. Who or what some ever even had any concept idea of what existence should be like from the start? Then in this mix, physical scientists say the universe is expanding?

In the light of all the stars, just as in the light of all our growing understanding, I suspect it may merely be that it is because it is we who are expanding. "It takes considerable knowledge just to realize the extent of our own ignorance." That is Thomas Sowell's famous quote.

So, every time we discover the answer to one question we did not formerly even realize existed. we discover within our answer several accompanying questions we had no prior knowledge of whatsoever. In other words, I am merely expanding my own knowledge of my ignorance. So, if the universe is actually expanding, I and everyone else is correspondingly shrinking their understanding of our existence. 

This is why I think no one has enough information on which to make a decision of whether or not God exists or not. So, I am stuck with the idea that if there is no God, then I will just have to be my own God, stuck, essentially, on myself.  

God is a Spirit within

Why do I love God, and why do I worship Him? Because Moses testified that he

asked God, who shall he say to the people told him that he, Moses, should be believed by the people? 

According to Moses' testimony God responded, I am who I am. Thereby He told Moses that He was Existence. Truths were placed in the hearts of ancient writers and prophets such as that God spoke everything into Existence by the breath of His Spirit. 

(Exodus 3:13 and 14, is where Moses was told all this, that God told him, Moses, that He wanted to be known as, as I am that I am, throughout all generations. This I could likened onto epiphanies where the truth of a matter suddenly opens up to persons from within themselves. The truth of any particular matter is so evidently grounded that it is never even thought to be questioned.)

Time fools us all,

Everyone, as I've said before, knows they are not going to live forever. It is just no one is going to die, now. Then too, I at one time thought summers were forever, and I was shocked to find that my mother said I had to go back to school. Seems like time gets us in the end.

I say that because no one wants to leave the life we know any more than we got a kick out of being born. But there came a time when we are born again, that is, everyone is. The flesh as it slowly became evident, there was good no doubt about that.

But after a good spell on the jolly roll seemed to flatten out. Then life pointed in the other direction until there was no way out. No matter how long we live it gets lonely out there alone, without anyone to echo our memories. What great fun is it to struggle to their 100s if that is when one dies? Not much future into continuing to grow old.

I think life in the fading flesh is like an embryonic experience. Then we are born into the spirit, a spirit that we believed in. The spirit is very difficult for many to get a grip on, since there is no time to be born, like now. 

If not one then the other

Differing Exactitudes Form 

Foundation for Errors?

There are many today who are first, will be last tomorrow, and many today who are last, will be first soon enough. Jesus is quoted often highlighting this idea in more than one Gospel manuscript. Some translators are convinced that various understandable discrepancies existing in the gospels indicate major disagreements suggesting a serious challenge to their truth. Next in their thinking? If they instead agree this will parade evidence for collusion? 

I think the lack of collusion is of far greater strength for the Gospel's truth. I understand only one manuscript of Homer's survived the Alexsandra fire. Jesus authored nothing, yet was quoted endlessly beyond counting. Still, some suggest Jesus never existed?

How long Holy Father, How Long?

Church Attendance Continues to Fall, Forever? 

The biggest stumbling block to attending churches for many is that so many people there are hypocrites. The devil does not go to the barrooms, he goes to the churches. If someone believes in Jesus, he lets them. 

Instead, he attacks Jesus' power which is just as good for his line on things. After all, it is all for the sake of the children, since the stories in the Bible are not true, only the meaning is true. This I leaned attending the adult Sunday school, just about the time I was in the middle of wrestling whether Santa was true or not. That is how long they have been teaching the truth in his cemetery any rate. 

The seen world or the unseen spirit?

When one is a child, I myself thought, since they were adults, they had the complicity of God. Faith however, I did not then understand, comes in different intensity levels. There is little faith and there is great faith. Now it stands to reason that anything that is hard to believe requires a lot of great faith. Jesus said that if one had enough faith, they could cast mountains into the sea. So, if something is easy to believe there is little need for Faith whatever. 

What is really hard to believe it that anyone could rise from the dead! Really, no one has done it since, either before after or ever. It was never even copied, because? Well, who could believe it? I think that in order to believe it for starters, is that one has to have in their mind the concept of spirit as directly opposed to the physical world engaged in wholly growing and fading appearances always changing. 

I know it is there, but I have not experienced it yet. On the other hand, around the time, right after someone very important to me has passed, like breath within a breeze, I wonder. I sense something momentarily I must understand later. Like others have put it, by Paul for one. It is all now in a fog, but afterward, face to face. 

Struggle Being born, and Born again?

Beginnings of My Spirit?

Why do many compulsively even gamble about futures, always dreaming about the future. Then there are others, finally concluding there is no God, and if not, then they will have to be their own god? 

As for myself, I often wondered as a child why I dreamed in the night dreams that seemed so real asleep, but then, to be so unreal on reflectively snapping awake. 

Working on.....feet first.....

 When I was in the womb and found I was going to be kicked out: I was shocked to learn I was  going to be hung upside down, smacked on my backside, pay taxes, and then get cold and hungry on top of the entire mess. I wanted nothing to do with it. I said I was doing just fine with everything done for me as I was, thank you.... 

The Algebra of the Unknown

When X will never equal Y

Once my faith survives my final foxhole event, I will know more about myself. It is easy right now to establish that which I do know at present. 

However, I will never know it all in any event. There are many ideas I was unlikely to discover without the direct interference of a source well beyond me. I do think now it could have been an epiphany placed there by God.

How else could the ancients have known that God knew that man, when he thought of building into the sky, could accomplish the moon itself? If I am not amazed then I would have to be my own God. 

There is the tendency to sense if one knew everything that is known at present, actually knows everything that could ever be known, instead of only that which is known at present. 

Halo

 It has been said that the physical brain generates enough electricity, which I understand would power a halo. 

Proof and Faith

Giving Tongue to the Devil

When I set out once again on my biggest beginning ago, I did not anticipate the goal of proving belief in God could supplant faith in God itself.

My proof was based on logic since no one, especially myself, knew anywhere near enough information to prove anything anywhere near close to proving the existence of God.

I delighted in each proof of God that I uncovered, especially the theory that the Red Sea at one time acted as a huge tidal river at the then both Caspian and Mediterranean entrances. The speed of sudden closing tides on tidal rivers was already demonstrated.

If anyone can prove God exists, to their own satisfaction of course, then they have eliminated any need for faith in God, based as it is, in sand.
