Why?
Being physical beings we hold ourselves to the contraints of our perceptions.
The more we define, the more we limit our own ability to look beyond our definitions.
Since Newton is responsible for alot of what we “define” our planet and universe in, I dam him, in a gesting way…not in my heart mind you!!
All throughout the Bible there are demonstrations of how mans need to justify every physical action by means of reason only limits our ability to look and move beyond the physical realm.
When God commanded Moses to tell the rock to give forth water was a good example.
All Moses had to do was speak it, "Rock give forth water!!"
But what did he do?
Even being the man of great faith as he was he commanded the rock, but being a human and bound by the need to do things in the physical, he struck the rock with his staff as he spoke, bringing forth the water. God then punished his people for this action, 40 more years in the desert if my memory serves me correct.
What was God trying to teach us here?
Why punish him and his people simple for adding a physical action to a spoken word of faith?
Seems pretty obvious to me, but read it for yourselves and come to your own conclusions.
Another good example is the account of Jesus walking on water.
If you look at this account, in a scientific manner it would lead one to think somehow God has a greater technology than even our present, and He somehow used His greater technology to preform this trick upon us.
However if you put science as we know it and all the priniciples we have known to rely on aside it is possible to veiw this account in a different way.
Perhaps Jesus having the knowlege of His father was aware that water can be many things. And rather than us some scientific methods to change it, He simple willed it to support Him.
I beleive it was Peter, and correct me if I’m wrong, who also was abled to walk by faith, on something he had learned all His life to be unable to support such an action.
Peter walked, because he beleived.
We sink, for our disbelief, in the very same water.
Again read it and come to your own conclusion.
There is so much more in this universe than can be explained by the physical realm.
90 percent of our brains, unused?
A spirit in our body that cannot be seen, or measured but we cannot live without it. (that’s why we can’t just make a man from parts) You can remove/ relace parts to a human body and it will live. But no matter what condition the body is in (even healthy, if the spirit leaves, the body dies)
So what can be learned by all our worldly knowlege?
Only that we really don’t know anything.
We are only observing things after they happen, and not actually creating the actions with our words or hearts, as He does.
There are powers within us and around us which we will never use as long as we stay confinded to the principles we as man rely on for security.
After all it is our own fear of a dangerous universe without definitions that keeps us from venturing into this uncharted area of our minds hearts and souls.
What would we do if we could change matter by faith to any form? People could walk through solid objects. Locks and doors would be of no consiquence. What would stop somone from drifting through the bed below them as they sleep?
Shurely a world without such restraints would be dangerous indeed. So we stay here. In our safe place. Where everything is defined. And matter remains constant until acted upon by an outside force.
Sleep tight on your solid beds tonight. And don’t worry folks, as long as you beleive everything around you is solid and real, it will stay that way, another day!
