I agree with you that God created energy. It is a force like gravity and governed by natural laws. God's nature is not governed by anything outside of Himself. He is the only Being that is eternally self-existent. He does not derive any aspect of His nature from outside of Himself. But energy is something man God and man can control and manipulate.
Therefore, I do not believe that energy is a divine aspect, but, like matter, was created by God at the creation of the universe.
God did not come from anywhere. He has existed always. He had no beginning and will never ceases to be. This is why He gave Moses His name as "I AM WHO I AM" or "I WILL BE WHO I WILL BE" which speaks to being everlasting, eternal, being self-existent. This means that God is Life Itself. His existence is derived only from Himself, not having acquired life or existence outside of Himself. Existence is internally Who He Is. In many places in the Scriptures God speaks of Himself as the Eternal God, Everlasting Father, Everlasting to Everlasting, ( Isaiah 63:16; 1 Chronicles 16:36; 29:10; Psalm 41:13; 90:2; Isaiah 9:6; 40:26; Psalm 93:2; Genesis 21:33; Jeremiah 10:10, etc.)
We are to understand by these Scriptures that God always IS eternally so. He alone has this eternal existence, that is why He alone is the only true God. Hope this helps.
1Timothy 2:5,
The imagination of man; to ignore the obvious all around: that the earth, our very being, molecules that aren't created, only slightly manipulated by man, asks an answer beyond some comprehension.
The question itself seems to derive from rebellion. Isaiah 55:8, Isaiah 29:15,16, Psalms 94:5-15, Psalms 139, Job 38:2-41, Job 40:7-13,
GOD gave some of us very deeply inquisitive minds, to invent witty things, Proverbs 8:12, some build imaginative creations, that in ourselves deep questions of consciousness & core beginnings arise at times. In these gifted minds of power & powerful thinking, faults sometimes into arrogance of belief to define The CREATOR & make a beginning. Because in limited understanding we have beginning & perceivable ending in flesh. Yet in our core perceive there is more in the supernatural, outside the flesh. 1Corinthians 1:27,
We as humans are like gods ourselves we can choose to do mighty evil or good in our days, we can cause other's to cry in distress or rejoice with gladness but in the end we will all answer to GOD ALMIGHTY the maker of heaven & earth. Psalms 82, Leviticus 25:17, Romans 14:12,
It's also amazing that a creator would care so much for what HE has created that HE would still have a plan of redemption even after rebellion: John 3:16
5 senses old man nature, let as in allow the spirit to energize your heart
And renew your mind to do the Will God has for your life.
If correct, it is my belief that the promise of eternal life began immediately upon your new birth by God's Spirit. When we look at the Scriptures referring to eternal life, we see that it is synonymous to believing/placing one's trust in the Lord. John 3:36: "He that believeth on the Son HATH everlasting life." John 5:24: "He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, HATH everlasting life." John 6:47: "Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me HATH everlasting life."
1 John 5:11-13: "And this is the record, that God HATH GIVEN to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. He that HATH the Son HATH life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life. These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that YE MAY KNOW THAT YE HAVE ETERNAL LIFE, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God."
All these verses indicate that eternal life is our present possession, i.e. 'you have it NOW'. As soon as our hearts were renewed & the Holy Spirit came to indwell us, our sin was dealt with, we became God's children, and our earthly walk was no longer uncertain, overcome with sin & living without hope in God's Love. And that is why the Apostle Paul stated in Philippians 3:20, "For our conversation is in heaven; from whence also we look for the Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ". Paul understood that our conversation (Gk. politeuma: citizenship) had already begun in the heavenlies; that our earthly life now, is just an earthly sojourn - "our affections are set on things above, not on Earth" and "for here have we no continuing city, but we seek one to come."
When once this earthly life was probably our only joy & hope, now IN CHRIST, we are but pilgrims here, gazing upward, confident & secure towards eternity.
Christ the Son of the most High God. I would not look for signs I would look to
God's Word and Jesus Christ and confess Romans 10:9+10 and not depend on
Portals or dreams or visions Unless they can be lined up with scripture and
Glorify God and bless you and there is no confusion in it. Where there is confusion
There is every evil work.
The Godhead made the heavens and the earth. So, Genesis is saying that all that exists, whether earthly or heavenly, whether made of physical matter or are of spiritual substance was made by and for Himself. So, Before the beginning of creation, only the Godhead existed.
It says that God made the heavens first, and then the earth. So, it may be that He made the heavenly, spiritual realm first, then the physical realm. We do not know all that God created in our physical universe, nor all that He created in the spiritual realm. We are discovering some of what is out in space bit by bit, but some reaches of the universe we will never know in this life.
After God made the heavens and the earth, Genesis said that the earth was void and covered with water. And the Spirit hovered over the waters before God continued to create the habitat and inhabitants of the earth.
I do not read in this account where there is frozen dark water out in space. Can you cite your source for that? If this is true, then the Genesis account does not reveal this, we have discovered it through scientific exploration.
How cannot we worship and love the God who made all we know? Our souls came from Him. When we give ourselves fully to Him, He comes and makes his abode within our hearts, and abodes with us.
We are completely conscious that he's in our heart, mind and soul. The Creator of all that we know of. Merciful and Kind.
He is Holy. Our souls know this, but sometimes the fleshly, earthy part of us can rebel against true reality, that humans are not gods. We were born to be the receivers of the love He desires to give to us.
We cannot be gods ourselves apart from God. This is what Satan tried to do. his future is completely recorded in the Bible.
God exists inside of Time, and outside of Time.
He knows you and desires that you will choose to live with Him in Heaven. We will see Him every day.
After all the end times wars are fought between nations_it will be finished. 2 Peter 3, teaches that Earth will be burned up. All of man's scars upon it will be burned. God will re-create it again. Those who chose Jesus to save their souls, will return to the New Creation.
What will be different is that Satan the Destroyer will be chained up in hell 1000 years. He will be let out to tempt the people who who survived the horrors of the Tribulation (physically), and called on God to save them. They will still be human. In Heaven they will have that 1000 years to choose Jesus as Savior and Lord. Satan will try to recruit them to fight against God, one more time. It's a short period of time.
At the end of that war in heaven, Satan and those who fought With him, will be judged. Satan will be thrown into the Lake of Fire eternally. That's his final END. He will never escape again.
Choose Jesus NOW. Everything I wrote is scripture in the Bible. I saw Jesus at my salvation in a vision. HE IS ALIVE!!
If you want to study this correctly, you will understand that the sky is more than what the eye can see. We need everyone to look up to this Kingdom of God. Good luck with your studies. God loves you in the name of Jesus, i in christ.
