Throughout history, man has tried to search for the true meaning of everlasting happiness and human behavior through philosophy and philosophers.This quest leads them to ask the basic question of God's very existence. Isn't this where every philosophical battle eventually ends up, to whether a being who created this world exists?
We still have not reached a satisfactory conclusion which every philosopher and scientist can agree upon. Even if they were to all take a vote and vote that He exist, would he exist from that moment on?
What if they all voted that God did not exist?
Would such a being come into existence upon human realization that He exists or vice versa?
God does not fit into human logic too well. Perhaps the last time you tried to explain or prove such an existence showed you how limited words or examples can be to your case.
How about your mind? Are you able to show it and explain to someone. If you were able to 100% understand you mind then you would have the capacity to recreate it from scratch from such knowledge. Because you cannot know your mind totally, this shows the greatness of your mind.
"Human beings have a mysterious aspect, and human logic can never perceive the greatness of God or human existence."
The same is for the explanation of God. If you could explain His existence through logic then God would be small enough to fit into human logic. this would mean that humanity would be able to create God and know all about Him.
People of religion already know that there is a God, that He exists from beginning to end, and He exists throughout eternity. He created all things and He occupies the central position.
We should clearly understand our relationship to God.
Humanity has tried several approaches to bring us closer to an understanding of this relationship, but this question remains unsettled.
Our relationship to God is the fundamental block to our existence. A true, living relationship to God is fundamental to life that we should clarify this question.
Several religions have to come to the same principle which is common to all religions to clear up the confusion of what our relationship with God should be?
Is it like a friend, daughter/son or should we view God as an equal? What is our true relationship with Him?
God wants us to understand this relationship to the ultimate sense - He definitely needs us human beings...why else would He create us? Therefore, He will do everything possible to develop this relationship.
What is the most precious thing in your life? Did you answer money or power?
When we look at this question deply, other thoughts emerge. We conclude that the most precious thing is love - what we value most is tied to the element of love.
Second to love is life itself which is most precious. We value these two things above all else.
If we have love and life, we need one thing further-an ideal.
Love, life an ideals are the most precious and profound in vlue and make our live woth living.
We all in some way wish fo eternal life. Therefore, we naturally feel that we want our love and ideals to also be foreve, unchanging and unique.
We have seen writers who write about the beauty of eternal love.
Has there been a writer in history that has glorified love that changes day and night or ends forever?
There are many religions in the world which testify to the life beyond this one that we live on earth and testify to our desires for eternity.
The words 'love' and 'ideals' are empty and do not have meaning when they are isolated. Love can only exist when there is someone to love and someone to be loved by.
Also, an ideal needs to be shared with someone.
We are always in a position to be loved by someone in the subject position. Things that are supremely important in human life can only come about through relationships.
Many think that humans are the cause of the universe, but how can we be the cause if we did not create ouselves? Therefore, a subject or creator must xist. This subject or cause is the essential reality.
Whatever name you choose for the cause does not matter; we should be certain of the cause as we are of our own existence.
We call the cause "God". So, let's put our question to God:
God, what is the most precious thing in existence to you God?
God will answer, "Love, life, and my ideal are the most precious things to me."
Think about this. Does God need money? Everything in creation belongs to God anyway. He does not need money. He is already the Source of all power and knowledge. God is all of these things, therefore, these two also He does not need.
Instead, God wants to share and have give and take with someone ina reciprocal relationship.
Even though God is almighty, He cannot have love, life and ideal when He is alone. This is why He created man and woman.
All human traits originate in God.
This is the meaning in the Bible where it states that humans are created in the image of God.
We reflect the characteristics of God like a mirror. God is the Origin, therefore, our lvoe comes from the love of God. Our life comes from the life of God, and so do our ideals.
The very dream that you wish to accomplish all your life comes from God.
God is the Subject of love, the Subject of life, and the Subject of ideals. We are the objects of love, the objects of life, and the objects of ideals.
Therefore, since God is an absolute being, we are also absolute. Since God is eternal, His objects, men and women, are also created for eternity. Otherwise, we would not reflect he nature of the eternal God.
If God is love, life and ideals, then He would be a God of defeat if He did not create a being with the same qualities.
God is the Subject to man and woman, and we are the objects to God.
Even though God is absolute, man and woman seem to reflect another type of being that is far from God.
When we as objects are not perfect as our Creator, then we cannot reflect fully the love, life and ideal of God. God and humans are one. Humans is incarnate of God. Man and woman are meant to be the visible form of God and God is the invisible form of man and woman.
Because we are the reflection and object of God whom He cannot feel love without us, this gives us as much importance and value as God Himself.
If man had followed God completely, there would be no question of His existence - HGe would have been a living reality to us.
In our present fallen, sinful ways, we should be very careful of our words and actions. On the other hand, if humanity had obtained perfection, we would automatically reflect the universal, loving mind that is God.
There would be no religion to teach us about how to behave like God, or arguments of His existence.
One that is perfect would not be able to deny God.
If Adam and Eve had followed God and become mature in their love instead of following Lucifer's advice to give into their love in their immaturity they would have become true parents to Cain and Abel. The good family tradition they envoked would have remained generation after generation.
Our relationship with God would not be a question - it would have been of perfect oneness; you would not be able to separate yourself from your own godly mind. This would have been human perfection.
Such people who did not fall away from God would have become the nucleus of the universe.
Adam and Eve's perfect home life and children would have expanded to a heavenly society, nation and world.
Who would have been the center of this perfect universe or world of peace?
Instead of creating a hell on earth where "Satan was the ruler of this world", God and Adam and Eve would have formed the central axis of the universe.
Why did God need a perfect relationship with Adam and Eve?
First of all, God could only fulfill His ideal of true love through Adam and Eve.
Secondly, God who does not have a physical body would have been visible through working through men and women.
In other words, Adam and Eve were to be the phsyical manifestation of God through their perfected relationship with Him. Thus, God could have a relationship with the visible, phsycial world through them.
What is God's reason for creating Adam and Eve?
Once Adam and Eve wre perfected on earth in a relationship of oneness of God, their spirit selves after passing to the next world would be like the body of God. God would have been the mind of Adam and Eve and they would have been the spirit body of God. Then God and people in the spirit world would have been eternally inseparable, one body.
Inside them God would dwell in their minds - God Himself would be the mind of Adam and Eve.
Unfortunately, due to our relationship with Lucifer's will and love, we have an inseparable relationship between the two.
We come to speak about death and dying, but there is no such thing in the context of God's original world. Instead of dying, we would have just passed to a new realm after giving up the physical body. Your body would be the spirit and God would be the center of that body.
After we followed the will of Satan through our first human ancestors, all of God's ideals for a world of love and peace was separated from humanity until His first true son on earth fulfilled the responsibility to change the blood lineage to God's.
