The Power of Something from Nothing: Part Eight (Many Somethings)

Monday, May 27th, 2013

We have come to the point at which the thing that exists in our sparse view of reality must do something.  So, let us consider the principal that is the mandate for actions and entities that have reached this particular point:  association.  To narrow the field, somewhat; let us look at an association between something that exists at a certain time, and a nothing that has the potential to exist.  Well, actually, the nothing that has the potential to exist is actually something that exists; since, in this place in reality, potential is itself a thing that exists.  In fact, the whole of this reality, at this point, is potential, restrained.

At this point on the timeline of the existence of the kingdom of man, the potential, restrained, allows us to say that everything that is in this reality can be defined by referring to it as being, the something from which something comes.  For instance, among the, much something, that we readily recognize is the earth.  On this earth thing, there is a special something that we want to explore more.  Scripture describes a unique something that is a part of the design of the earth as being this broad and multi-faceted principle:  human occupation.

For thus saith the LORD that created the heavens; God himself that formed the earth and made it; he hath established it, he created it not in vain, he formed it to be inhabited: I am the LORD; and there is none else.  I have not spoken in secret, in a dark place of the earth: I said not unto the seed of Jacob, Seek ye me in vain: I the LORD speak righteousness, I declare things that are right.

(Isaiah 45:18-19)

To many people, this may seem to be a trivial matter; however, many scientists–among which are the ecologists–are working vigorously and constantly to remind us of that particular design feature of the earth.  There is much study about the quality of the new things that can be provided from the things that are here now.  We are rapidly learning that the earth itself is subject to this often quoted principle of quality control; “Garbage in; garbage out”.  Though, we must add that; in our past, from time to time, God has overridden this principle, as we see here.

Gender Bias — Definitely: Part Twelve (For the Girls)

Thursday, May 16th, 2013

A place for everything, and everything in its place:  Why is it that we can accept this for ordered physical reality, but not for proper order in spiritual interactions?  We know that there are component parts to service in the LORD.  For instance, at the inauguration of the mission of Israel, the LORD separated out an initial special section, with conditions.

And Moses went up unto God, and the LORD called unto him out of the mountain, saying, Thus shalt thou say to the house of Jacob, and tell the children of Israel; Ye have seen what I did unto the Egyptians, and how I bare you on eagles’ wings, and brought you unto myself.

Now therefore, if ye will obey my voice indeed, and keep my covenant, then ye shall be a peculiar treasure unto me above all people: for all the earth is mine:  And ye shall be unto me a kingdom of priests, and an holy nation.

These are the words which thou shalt speak unto the children of Israel.

(Exodus 19:3-6)

In time, the LORD made clear that being His kingdom of priests did not indicate that being a priest was an umbrella assignment for every citizen of the newly redeemed congregation of Israel.

The Power of Something from Nothing: Part Seven (Association)

Monday, May 6th, 2013

There is another kind of appearance that we needed to have with God:  we needed to be able to match an action to an authorization.  We do this by obtaining an association.  It is commonly thought that mankind makes associations, but that is not correct in our relationship with God.  As pertains to our associations in God, we are limited to this kind of behavior.

Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a merchant man, seeking goodly pearls:  Who, when he had found one pearl of great price, went and sold all that he had, and bought it.

(Matthew 13:45-46)

This is the standard operating method of basic science.  For instance, mankind did not make the association between the behavior of the universe, and the laws of thermodynamics.  Mankind did discover that association.  Thereby, mankind discovered the power source that drives the behavior of the universe, on the lower, non-Spirit, level.  We needed this insight because we needed something that would show us the appearance of the association of God, with the behavior of . . . well . . . of everything.

Particularly, we needed something that would show us the association of God with the Power of Something from Nothing.  To give us this, God released the appearance of, His Word (Son).  We refer to it as, (Son), because, though it is an independent operative, it is, inseparably, a member of the Family of God.  The inseparability of the (Son) also gives it the authorization to operate as a fully powered origination from God.  The concept was introduced here.
