I need to make one disclaimer
concerning the last post about the Big Bang Theory. I never posted it because
I necessarily believe in it, I believe the physical universe is dynamic--that
is it's in motion, but usually this theory is stated in conjunction with their
Darwinian Theory or the Evolutionary Theory, which I generally do not believe.
My blog is not intended to
present an overwhelming argument in either case. Other than that which has been
written, I do not want to spend the time or use the space that would be
required to accomplish that, and usually it doesn't turn out to be that
productive--at least in my experience. There are others more devoted to that
exercise, more capable and more versed in that debate. I would pray the Spirit
would guide you to the truth.
I mention the Big Bang Theory, because, if the universe had a beginning and, as they say. They, in their own words, say nothing existed before that or an absolute absolute vacuum existe.
I believe that the cosmos or universe is so cenormous that it is beyond our imagination. I.also believe that it's expandin, obviously in an outward direction.
But the question of where is it going to raises an equally enormous question.
Someplace out there-- is there a wall or edge, beyond which nothing can penetrate
?
But what's beyond that
Where and what started it all

Obviously, in that belief, either one believes absolute nothing created something --something as complex as the universe, or there really is a super-super Being, existing outside of creation, that is the creating power-- or God exists

In view of what has been
mentioned--that is the creation of the universe, I would pray that the reader
must respect and appreciate God for His many awesome powers and attributes. "That
which is known about God is evident within them for God made it evident to
them. For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes, his eternal
power and divine nature have been clearly seen in being understood through what
has been made, so that they are without excuse." (Romans 1:19-20)
I'd also pray that as we study
the Scriptures that it might not be a mindless reading, but continually be
conscious that where reading a communication from an awesome God--A Being of
universe-creating power. Obviously, He wants to tell us something.
May His overwhelming mercy, agape
love and divine grace stand out as the chief motivator and guide in doing His
will--that we might continually shape our real worldview and real purpose in
this life.
IN THE STUDY OF SCRIPTURES--notably John's
writings and the Synoptic Gospels.
JOHN 1:1-3, 14-18
1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and
the Word was God.
2 The same was in the beginning with God. 3 All things were made through him; and without
him was not anything made that hath been made. John 1:1-3 (ASV)
14 And the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us (and we beheld
his glory, glory as of the only begotten from the Father), full of grace and
truth. John 1:14 (ASV)
