The question....
What created God or,
What is God Made of?
Reminds me of the person who gets an alarm clock from the store in order to be able to wake up on time for some important events they planned. But the person, once they get that clock home from the store stares at it and says, my what a beautiful piece of work..... I wonder what it's made out of and how it ticks? So they commence to take the screws out of it (hence the term, you've got some screws loose
: ) and, they open up the back of it and see all these things that are connected to each other and they then try to look and see what happens if they take this one part and disconnect it to examine it. and then they take some other part to examine it, and so forth and so on.... and the next thing they know, (once they have come out of their intense form of curiosity) they discovered they have destroyed their clock and didn't put it back together as it originally was made. They now must start all over again and go to the store to purchase a new clock.
(you'll see what I'm getting at when you finish reading this post. :wink: )
So then, while keeping the above in mind..... ponder this....
If the Big Bang was the start of life, Which I doubt. Because in my opinion, the Big Bang is just a result of the material exploding that was already in existence. Even so, Stars, gases, planets, etc., the very act of something blowing up is of a material substance, elements. Elements, Materials are things OF God, not God in itself, but God is that which creates the material.
The word of God is spirit. God is spirit.
Now the question then has nothing to do with the material, but with the "things unseen" (Spirit) .
Hebrews 11:3
By faith we understand that the world
s were
prepared by the word of God, so that
what is seen was not made out of things which are visible.
We are taught in the bible that The word of God manifest the material through faith.
The faith in God is what
stems from things brought into Being.
His being IS. He is the I AM THAT I AM. "creation itself."
God puts the breathe in life in all things. "Breath" is of the Spirit.
vinc pretty much wrapped it up by saying
"Self-Existent Being without beginning and without end. He is the Alpha and the Omega as the Bible says."
The so called spark of life that some say from out of the Big Bang, IS
FROM God. The Big Bang is
a product of God. Nova's explode, but that doens't mean they are the cause of life or that the One Big One was the cause of life. Again, vinc, says it well....
"birthed by the Spirit of God "
So then.....
Explain
the origin of Spirit..... The Alpha
It's all too complicated.....
If the essence of Spirit is Energy, this type of energy is invisible.... But then, through the all wonderful microscopes man has made, we can see energy is made visible to the eye. However,
we only find bits and pieces of the essence of energy. Energy which is
of God's own "creation".
To understand the whole of His BEING..... Well really, wouldn't you think only God holds that secret?.
I would think that all us humans can do is just bring up a bunch of
"Quirks" . :wink: and
click: http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/elegant/everything.htmlquarks, and strings and who knows
click: http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/elegant/scale.html what else will be found within the confines of those microscopes as they improve in the technology of them.
Quantum physics is all we as humans can use to delve into the click: http://www.msnbc.com/news/201650.asp?cp1=1 microscopics of the elements.
But, who can actually see the Spirit or truly understand the faith from which manifests the "things material"?
Is the essence of God for us to know?
( Keep in mind that story about taking the clock apart to find out what it is made of.... :wink: )
In doing research such as this wanting to know what God is made of, ... I would advise to not get away from the basics of what God teaches us about our human nature vs. the indwelling 'Holy Spirit of Christ Jesus' in those who have accepted Him as Lord and "Savior".
You might wonder why I would bring up such a thing? Well, that story about taking apart clocks has much to say.
And,
Don't forget..... it is science that helped man see how to create the Bomb.
Greed causes sooo much trouble.
Science is just the microscope to what is going on about this world.
The Love of God is the Key to what will be.
We need to be very careful in the sciences pertaining to the
Psychologies and the Physics. Delving in the wrong directions takes one AWAY from God not towards God. The Psychologies are proof enough for that, as well as the many forms of idolatries in different religions and "meditations" New Age thinking
can really mess you up. New Age thinking takes the mind in so many weird directions to only come back to wondering.... what was that all about.
:
So be careful that in wanting to know what God is made of.... you don't find yourself wrapped up in a bunch of nonsense like such things as New age consciousness type mindset, or religions that are nothing but false teaching that take you into nothing but the same old starting point from which you started, circles of confusion. Too much searching to know
what God is made of instead of wanting to know How
God works through us can lead you in the wrong directions.
Notice how the articles in this web site
http://www.wie.org/consciousness/?ppc=unb-yh-cons are both
informative from a scientific perspective in regards to the material,
as well as some of them being
misleading from a psychological perspective, in that many of the researches are delving into mystics of
other religions in order to figure out the essence of and in all things.
Christianity IS not so misleading as these others. Inquiring minds look to strange gods and that only takes them away from the One True God. To abide In Christ is to know enough of God. What more can you ask for?
Can the science become an Idol that leads men away from God's purpose for man?
Yes, I would think so, not in all, but yes, in far too many cases.
Science, the studies of Psychologies and the Physiologies, of it all, sometimes can, and sad to say in far too many cases, is helping man to create monsters, both of the mental and of the physical type!
The Spirit of God is helping man to tame the beast! We must not stray from the purpose we are here... And that is, not to figure out what God is made of, but to learn what we are made for.
God Bless. :fadein:
