Entry 147 - Without a Cause How is there an Effect?

12/18/19

A universe without a God is like a world without air. It not only doesn't make any sense, it logically cannot work. How can a design be without a designer? How can effect be without a cause? 

How can a process that needs to be precise to the millionth degree be safeguarded by chaos? 

How can a law filled universe be subject to no laws? That would contradict the very nature of the universe. There is a Creator and there is the created. 

One is independent, one is dependent. One is beyond all forms, while the other is trapped by form. One has no beginning, no ending, and one has a beginning and an ending.

In religion, there is a human construct and a spiritual construct. The human construct is a mental abstraction of thought and therefore must be defended. 

The spiritual construct of religion is a subjective experience between man and God and is more real than any visible form. God's presence is the essence of reality. To be present and aware is to tap into this reality.

Every second, we must breathe. Without breath, we die. In the Bible, many times, it says God is the air we breathe. Every night we must pass into a deep unconscious state and go into nothingness. 

Without going into this unconscious deep, healing state, we hurt ourselves. God is also said to be our real rest. Without water, we will soon die. God is likened to rivers of flowing water. 

What's real, the river of water in California or God as the living water? One is on the plane of matter and the other is the plane of reality. One satisfies for a period of time, the other satisfies the whole time when remaining in its reality. 

One was brought into existence and one day will cease to exist, and the other has no beginning and therefore no end. Which one is really real?
