THE INVISIBLE GOD

The Invisible God Now to the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only God, be honor and glory for ever and ever. Amen. 1Timothy 1:17 What would you say to someone who says, “I have never seen God, nor have you.  How do you know what you believe is true and mine is not?” First, we have to consider that there things which are invisible to the eye and yet we are confident and trust that they exist:   Numbers and Mathematical equations Theories Thoughts  Feelings The whole universe. Neutrons, protons and electrons. Time, including the past or the future.  God’s invisibility means the He is far beyond the human capability to see. It is because God is Spirit, which is a higher form of existence. Another philosophical term for God is that He is incorporeal - meaning to be without the composition of physical matter. God is not constrained nor limited by physical matter. Neither is He restrained by time nor space. He transcends them....

DOES GOD HATE?

Image
You must not worship the Lord your God in their way, because in worshiping their gods, they do all kinds of detestable things the Lord hates. Deuteronomy 12:31 What the heck is this doing in here?! Hate is a bad word isn’t it? After all, God is love, right? So how can God hate? Is love and hatred incompatible? It almost seems antithetical. And yet, all throughout scripture we see that God has hatred. He even tells us to hate. The idea seems to both contradict our feelings about God and life as well as authenticate the sense that hating some things just seems the right thing to do. Rank this as one of the embarrassing things about God that Christians are often afraid to talk about. Somehow this notion of a God who hates appears to be nothing but a leftover belief of an antiquated tribal deity. It certainly doesn’t fit the “Don’t offend me” culture in which we live. Yet it is certainly a comforting aspect of who God is. He hates the things we rightly hate.   Hatred...

GOD THE JUDGE

Image
" And no creature is hidden from God, but everything is naked and exposed to the eyes of Him to whom we must render an account." Hebrews 4:13 What is it that makes a good judge? A good Judge must have a thorough knowledge of the law. They must possess fairness, have integrity and keen discernment. But no matter how good the judge is, they must have the authority and power to execute their judgment.  The Lord is a fulfillment of all that is required for a good judge. He has a thorough knowledge of the law because He wrote the law. He is the standard. He is fair, as He is not dissuaded by reputation. He has integrity because He is faithful unto all that He is and says.  No one can slip one by Him or deceive Him, for He is all knowing - knowing not only all our actions, all the surrounding events but also all the thoughts and intentions of our hearts. He is the key witness and the expert witness. As the God of truth, He knows all truth. No one will find looph...
