I would not normally do this but since you started it, I am prepared to give you some answers: It starts with Genesis 1:1, the beginning sentence of His Book "In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth" In reality that says it all. God "IS" - He is the Creator. His is Bigger than us. He created us. We are all, like it or not, SUBJECT TO HIM - all the heavens and all on earth. Let me share an illustration of the ramifications of that verse in the life of my wife: When she was a little girl, she helped deliver a liter of kittens. The kittens could say she had a minimal part in their creation. As they grew, on rainy days, she would set them up in her play. She dressed them in her doll clothes. She would have some do this and others do that. She was their Sovereign. For some she had them dance by holding their paws. If they did her bidding they got a treat. Others would not like this and try to run - they got no treat. It wouldn't take long in her play for the running kittens, watching the others get the treats, to feel left out. Remember: She created the play. She called the "shots." They could complain, so what? To them, she existed. Do it her way and get a treat. Follow their own "Natural" inclination and suffer the consequences: no treat and left out to curl up in a corner. Now lets bring our God back into the story: His Statement: "He is the Creator," We are part of His creation. Can we REALLY do anything about it? The kittens figured this out over several playtimes. She could have been mean to them - She was not. She treated them all in love. God has also said, He loves us. The second verse that stands out is Psalm 138:2 which tells us that God "has magnified His Word above His Name" - Look it up. King James translation is one of the best. It means His Word (The Bible) He has placed His Word ABOVE His Sovereignty - above all the He could and would do. In simple terms He runs His Creation by His BOOK. Know the Book and you know God: Learn and obey = Blessing Ignore Walk Away = No Blessing and looming punishments all laid out in commands, historical stories, even the poetic sections. It's that simple. Like it or not the Creator rules His Creation, BUT, according to his Book. Get out a Bible Now some homework: Who made God? He claims "I AM:" Exodus 3:14 He is the Creator: Genesis 1:1; Isaiah 45:12 -Look these up if you really want to know. He is Almighty, all powerful: Genesis 17:1 He Kills, He makes alive, He wounds, He heals: Deuteronomy 32:39 He is the ONE and ONLY - there is "none else:" Isaiah 45:18 He loves YOU: John 3:16 -Sent His Son to take your sins - including the arrogance to change the subject of this thread - upon His Son-Jesus to allow for an even closer relationship with Your God -like it or not! Relationship with Him means Heaven - Reject it and wrath John 3:18; 3:36 Like those kittens THE TREAT for us is harmony in the world the Creator has Created for us. I could go on, but I am also breaking this thread in posting to you. I will stop.
