subject: How Could God Have Granted This To Happen? [print this page] Practically everyone has been through or witnessed events that made them ask, "How could God have allowed that to happen?" Some people abandon belief in God altogether because of horrors they witness, believing that if there was a God, he would not sit back and watch as things went so terribly wrong on Earth. You've also undoubtedly listened as people failed in their attempts to answer question.
In the same way that it doesn't take a great singer to recognize a sour note, truth resonates. Hopefully after reading this document, you'll know that you've finally gotten an accurate and definitive answer, helping strengthen your understanding that God does exist, he is perfect, his plan is perfect and it is for your happiness.
1. How do I know that God exists?
To understand what God is doing and not doing, you must first understand more about God, and be rid of doubt as to whether God exists. Having faith is great. Some people can feel or sense God. They pray and the prayers are answered in supernatural ways further strengthening their faith but here, we're going to approach the existence of God through logic and science.
The first consideration is energy. Not one specific aspect of energy but the whole of energy as one unit. What could initiate energy? If there was ever a time when there was no energy, what could make it start? No matter how far back in time you are able to render in your mind's eye, the only force that could initiate energy is energy. If it ever did not exist, there would have been no force to bring it into existence so its existence now is the proof that it has always been. If you cannot understand and agree with that statement, reading further is a waste of your time.
2 - The Four Eternal Elements.
Energy is an eternal element. Life, consciousness and self realization are three other elements of energy that could not have come began if there was a in which they were not. For example, if space was ever dead, containing no living thing whatsoever, it could only have remained dead because there would be nothing to initiate life. If there was no self awareness, there would be no force or reason that would suddenly cause something to live, wake up and realize itself. Energy, life, consciousness and self awareness are the four eternal elements. The four phenomenon that must have either always been or they could never be. The combination of those four elements and their eternal existence is your proof that God exists. There has always been conscious, self aware, living energy. Even before there was time, matter or even a universe, one being could say, "I am."
If the four eternal elements did not exist, nothing would exist. Everything in existence around you is proof of God and since there is no period prior to the existence of the four elements, God being without a beginning is the relative beginning. You can know that God is because you are, and you are because God is.
3 - The Defining of Matter
When there was only God, his plan was formed. That plan was to share the four elements. The word commonly associated with his action is "creation" but what took place is more accurately defined as "conversion." A massive conversion of pure energy, life, consciousness and self awareness was converted into life forms then into matter.
The recognition of the self facilitates the uniqueness and the advent of the individual. That individuality is the "spirit." The purest spirit is the first spirit; God's spirit. When there was only God, he did something that demonstrates who he is; he gave a gift that he does not revoke. That gift was to share his possession of life; to convert the four elements into other conscious, self aware, living, unique spirits. That desire defines goodness and holiness. God possesses thee first and Holy Spirit.
For there to be anything other than God, required the defining of that which would be. Atoms, molecules and the many forms of light and dark matter all had to be decided upon, defined then converted from God into what they would become. That ability to define is the basis of language, an ability that was with God from the beginning, part of God and was God, known most accurately as "The Word." Having come forth from and having always been part of the very substance of God, the word is the "Only begotten" of God; an only son. The Word plays the most powerful role in God's plan because every single thing that was or will be converted from God's elements into anything else must be defined.
Visualize the expanding universe in a reverse chronology. You know that it expanding, reverse it and shrink it back to a single mass just prior to the "Big Bang" explosion. Prior to that moment, there was no universe. After that moment, a mass was expanding. That mass contained all of God's elements plus the newly defined element of Matter. The natural scientific question is, "Where did the matter come from and how did it come?" The obvious answer to both questions is that matter was converted from energy after having been defined by the Word. The phrase; "Let there be light" and the "Big Bang" theory describe the same event; a massive conversion of non tangible energy forms, into material energy forms or more exactly; the creation and merger of defined matter with energy, life, consciousness and self awareness. God put the attributes of his existence into a huge mass and sent it flying in all directions to fill a space with enormity we cannot even imagine.
