God made us with free will...............then, He said, "Okay........go for it." We have the opportunity to show Him what we're made of............and show ourselves as well.

There can be only one God because if there were more Gods in one moment there would be a state that one God would want something that the others would not

in that moment what would happen the answer is who is bigger stronger will rule it and he will be the real God so there can be only one God.

someone said that someone who wants to be known cant be God

how do you know that? or how can you say that God cant want something that you dont want is not it silly thinking?

can you judge what God may want or not?

if you look around you see many things and you can ask for everything why its like this not like that there would be endless questions but instead of thinking this thinking that God may wants anything and everything.

So the chosen are rare. And yet God worries himself about the hairs of the common herd that is galloping headlong to destruction. Amazing.

Didn't Hoyle have something to do with playing cards? Anyway any god who would create us just so he or she can go "LOOK AT ME..SEE WHAT I'VE DONE. AREN'T I GREAT" is pretty childish and nor worthy of the respect demanded.........

Not if the other Gods team up against him :) Also, there could be a deadlock of endless struggle. Also, why wouldn't these multiple Gods just settle their differences in a democratic or rational way?

According to the Greek lexicon the word "eklektos" means chosen or elect.

Thus ". . . few are chosen." means just that.

if we dont know about existence of God we would have two options one is There is a God who created us or There is no God

look in your hands what do you have?

do you have more proves for existence of God or do you have more prove not existence of God?

Why do we exist? The Universe cycles perpetually. One configuration of the total universe is God alone. Another is a null state where God does not exist but the potential for God does exist. Thus the big cycle is pure nothingness and the singularity of God.

In between these two extremes the universe is subdivided into a series of different light speed energy zones. God occupies the highest light speed energy fields and we occupy the lowest,

We live within the mind of God. This physical and spiritual driving force acts upon the physical world to produce man and beast throughout the universe upon billions of Earths.

The driving force produces the mind of man as the highest physical fullfillment of the process. The process continues with the cosmic evolutionary cycle in which the individual appears over and over again for all eternity.

Therefore we exist because God is subdivided into higher and lower levels in the cosmic evolutionary process. This will involentary produce intelligent life everywhere in the universe. With or without any action by God intelligent creatures will automatically come into being.

The only thing God can do is to remember us and insure that some or many of us return to life over and over again to serve Gods higher purposes. God cannot stop the evolutionary process for the production of man without destroying the entire creation and returning to nothingness or God alone.

Most of your explanations meaningless, does not have any information or scientific proves, how do you know the universe is subdivided into a series of different light speed energy zones? or you say God is subdivided into higher and lower levels in the cosmic evolutionary process, where is source of your knowledge?

accepting the universe is from different level of energy is not more then mind storm, you seemed to me that you beleive in reincarnation but there is no prove for it

Many things cannot be proved. Science has come to the conclusion that this universe is only part of the total energy. Dark energy is the answer they give.

Thus this level of physical existence is acknowledged to be only part of the total story. How would we define the other levels of the universe. The easiest solution is the light speed spectra. For Einsteins equation E= MCC, if we double the light speed we have 1/4 the mass. If the light speed goes up 8 times, then the mass is 1/64. Notice as we go toward light speed infinity, the mass of the higher universe is zero. Thus from a mathematical viewpoint as we go beyond our light speed dimension we attain an energy only universe with zero mass.

Since coexisting universes at higher and higher light speeds is quite possible, it is most likely that such universes of masslessness do exist and thus God is defined in such terms. I do not attempt to prove such things because our proofs require things we can see and measure. Our instruments cannot directly pick up higher light speed energy. We only have indirect ability to do so.

Since we are missing huge amounts of energy to produce our universe, it seems clear that God is a great possibility for the solution as to why we exist.

As far as God being composed of a series of higher and higher light speed zones of energy, this becomes more certain because the low to zero mass zones tend to be singular levels. They do not tend to produce heterogeneous structures but are intelligence fields only.

It may be possible for light speed 1024C energy to form other stars and planets. These levels could also be part of the soul of man. Thus individual forms could be produced at the lowest light speed levels.

I believe that everything beyond our light speed belongs to God alone. Thus our souls are not owned by us but belong to God.

You ask the source of my knowledge? I am 69 years now and I have a lifetime of interactions with audio/visual voices and visions which answer my questions and provice data for my studies. I still understand only a little bit. I communicate with a mind more intelligent than myself. I try to ignore it but it always comes back to put pressure upon me to proceed with my studies.

Often I say it is just a hallucination. Yet it upsets me when it says "You cannot die". It shows me a new Earth where I will be reborn. This is very upsetting because I am helpless before this power. This power is not evil. It means me no harm but I like to be free and independent and have control over my destiny.

No. We are not a figment of God's imagination. We live physically within the mind and body of God. Thus our energy flows through God and God's energy flows through us.

A spaceship of light speed 1024C energy comes at you. It flows right through your body yet it does not harm you.d All you feel is a slight interaction as the spaceship flows through you.

We coexist with God's energy. We cannot escape because we live within Gods energy field. Where is God? God is inside of us and outside of us. God is everywhere.

We are quite independent of God in most respects. Yet we will live again upon another Earth if God shall so choose. Someday most of us will be reborn again looking exactly as we are upon another Earth. We will ask the same questions and wonder all things. We will feel pain for sure.

We are trapped in space and time and God too is trapped in space and time. We suffer physical and mental pain while God suffers mental pain. God suffers from God's existence. God has no escape from God's existence.

Jester;885672 wrote: I dont agree, God is not trapped in any sense of the word, your explaination of life limits God based on your human understanding... your science takes more faith than my biblical faith does... And you make huge leaps with quantum physics... you said 'could have' or 'may' more times in that one post to Cloverleaf than I ever will in a hundred posts... But to each his own so long as you dont harm anyone. Enjoy!

You still not have explained the factor of pain and you did not explain reality either, tangeablity denies your assessments above. Besides that, so far, no one person has moved at light speed, theoretically the mass would have to generate movement cellularly at the same rate other wise the force would destroy tissue.

You talk only on the theoretical level in your assessment of life, denying or at least lacking an explaination of the spiritual.


We do not move at the speed of light. This is impossible for us. We are composed of light speed energy. E = MCC. Energy equals mass times the speed of light squarred. For light speed 2 the mass is 1/4 for the same amount of energy.

As we go toward infinite light speed, the mass approaches zero for the same amount of energy. Thus God at the highest level light speeds is pure energy and zero mass.

The spiritual level of existence belongs only to God. We are physical creatures. That is all we know. Isaiah says we will be born again upon a New Earth. This is not a spiritual Earth. It is a real physical Earth. Heaven and hell is Zoroastrian not Jewish.

We can imagine all things spiritually but only God exists beyond ourselves. Yet all may believe what they chose to believe. In the end, we all die and perish in the flesh. Many will be reborn but they will be innocent of their past lives.

Do you beleive in religion? I believe in Islam religion and Islam answers many questions that science can not answer. Islam also supports many scientific approaches because there is only one truth about these things.

For sure science can not explain everything but in the end science is believing that there is a system in the universe (like science accepts that every H2O molecule is water in certain conditions, this is a belief that works
