God is in Control

[BADecker]

I am not an atheist but don't blame God for each and every thing happening in this world.If he is real then he is busy watching all the planets and aliens so he might only have few minutes to plan what should happen in this world.

Daddy is sitting in his easy chair, watching TV. Little daughter climbs up on his lap and starts playing with Daddy's fingers. Then she lifts Daddy's hand over to his drink on the side-table. She wraps his fingers around the glass, and proceeds to lift Daddy's hand with the glass in it. Then she turns Daddy's wrist, and dumps the contents of the glass all over Daddy's lap.

Was Daughter strong enough to lift Daddy's hand? Was she capable enough to wrap Daddy's fingers around the glass? Could she lift the hand with the glass in it?... she is barely able to lift the glass alone. Wasn't it really Daddy who moved his hand and arm, working with his little daughter out of love?

Same with everything we do. God does it with us out of love. Everything. Few people have enough strength to do telekinetics. But even TK is just the tip of the power needed to move the iceberg.

You are right that God controls everything People will never be able to control themselves Without its decree it would not be possible to move a leaf on a tree no matter how much people use technology unless God wants it. When we do what He does He sees everything and observes all of our good and evil deeds Allah is One and the Unique.

You have heard of a corporation. A corporation might have many members. When the treasurer, for example, signs a corporation check, she is acting as the corporation. When the corporation trustee fixes light bulbs in corporation buildings, he is acting as the corporation in this capacity. Many corporate members; one corporation.

God is one. Jesus, the Father, and the Holy Spirit are Members of God. When they act in their capacities, it is God acting. One God; three Members.

No matter how much a person understands that God exists and that there is one God, if He doesn't recognize that there are 3 persons in that one God, He is looking at a false God in his own mind.

Mechanical technicians build cars and rockets and computers. Bio-virus technicians build biological warfare viruses.

Who has more control over what they are doing? The technicians who are not involved with microscopic life... the mechanical technicians.

Consider Bitcoin who has control of it? Its creator made it in a way that it could grow and prosper without his/her intervention, yet clearly stated it could fail.

Can humanity fail? Yes. Does it have free will? Yes.

Its not about control, its about design.

[Mometaskers]

I suppose the people who died has finally discovered what true "freedom" is right? Basically being freed from this world.

Didn't Jesus himself talked about this when talking about who's responsibility it is when people die when a tower fall over them?

Has Bitcoin fallen yet? Has humanity failed yet? Both have been stronger at times, and weaker at other times. Humanity will never fail entirely because God will reserve some people for Himself. Bitcoin will go down with the crash of the earth... if it is still around when the crash comes.

God is in control. How? Through the physics of the universe that He made. Cause and effect, and miracles now and again. God's intervention is here all the time. John 5:17:

In his defense Jesus said to them, "My Father is always at his work to this very day, and I too am working."

Consider 1 Samuel 28:15:

Samuel said to Saul, "Why have you disturbed me by bringing me up?" "I am in great distress," Saul said. "The Philistines are fighting against me, and God has departed from me. He no longer answers me, either by prophets or by dreams. So I have called on you to tell me what to do."

Samuel was a great prophet of God, although there were some that were greater. He died and went to Heaven. Yet, when Saul had the witch of Endor - https://www.biblehub.com/niv/1_samuel/28.htm - bring Samuel's spirit up, Samuel said, "Why have you disturbed me by bringing me up?" So, how could Samuel's spirit have been brought up, since he was already in Heaven?

To answer this (there is a lot of confusion among Bible scholars), consider Hebrews 4:12:

For the word of God is alive and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart.

It is the soul that is saved. The spirit is earthly in its doings... at least to a great extent. While the earth stands, those that die in Christ are given temporary homes (white robes, righteousness), while awaiting the Judgment day - Revelation 6:9-11:

9When he opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of those who had been slain because of the word of God and the testimony they had maintained. 10They called out in a loud voice, “How long, Sovereign Lord, holy and true, until you judge the inhabitants of the earth and avenge our blood?” 11Then each of them was given a white robe, and they were told to wait a little longer, until the full number of their fellow servants, their brothers and sisters, were killed just as they had been.

The white robes include a temporary spirit of righteousness, until the time of the resurrection. Then the body will be perfected, and the spirit, soul, body, and mind will be one in each person again... in perfection.

There are so many gods, so how do you know which is the correct one?

I believe in Mother Nature, and her ability to constantly improve the environment, and the rich diversity of life on it. She has already solved the coronavirus problem, and people are recovering. However we can't leave it alone, so we will continue to inject poison and disease into people's arms to enrich the bankers. This will create an even more crippled population ready for the next pandemic.

The God Who created the universe that operates perfectly, never failing in even one tiny law of physics. This God is perfect. The fact that He is perfect in everything and throughout Himself, shows that He is holy.

And he sanctioned slavery.

Holy my ass.  Any decent human being is better than your Bronze Age God.

When a person sanctions his own slavery, and you don't, you are taking freedom away from that person.

When God sanctions the slavery of that person, God is upholding that person's freedom.

If you don't want to be a slave, and you don't get paid as much as your boss, you had better quit. If you don't, you are contradicting yourself.

God wants peace and well being for all people. Since many of them want slavery, He is giving them what they want. It brings about peace.

You are simply not up to speed in your attempted badmouthing of the God you don't want to believe in, but can't help but believe in.

Gods will is that the EU will be the future heavyweight in the west. not the nihilistic usa and its gangbangers.

or the french, english or russian nazis

[BADecker]

^^^ But how do you know that the EU will be king?     

[KingScorpio]

^^^ But how do you know that the EU will be king?     

the king is being made by god, the power of the king granted at the mercy or wellwishing of god, however there are some obstacles.

even presidents have power granted only by god.

[exemplaar]

Completely wrong understanding of God.

...some gibberish removed...

Isaiah 66:1: '1This is what the Lord says:
“Heaven is my throne,
and the earth is my footstool.
Where is the house you will build for me?
Where will my resting place be?
2Has not my hand made all these things,
and so they came into being?”
declares the Lord.

“These are the ones I look on with favor:
those who are humble and contrite in spirit,
and who tremble at my word.”'

Now we got you BADman decker with your dirty fingers in a cookie jar. Dishonest person and Copernican cultist. Telling other people to believe what Bible says, while you don't.

This is all true^^. But how do you know that it is the EU, and not the USA?

because the EU is assembling itself,

the USA will also continue to be strong it will however change its form (through trump)

we will see a reversal of powerful.

age of american liberalism is over, it was highly destructive in the west.

western civilisation needs to change, usa and its irreligious liberalism drained labour and manpower over centuries from europe, america basically absorbed europes traditional strength, this will have to change with religious/communist values returning to usa and EU.

Where it was when a lot of people died in world wars? Where it was when childrens got killed ? Where it was?

[BADecker]

Where it was when a lot of people died in world wars? Where it was when childrens got killed ? Where it was?

God is perfect. All people are bad because they are imperfect.

God sent His son, Jesus, Who died on the cross to take all punishment for all people of all times. Then Jesus arose from death to show His power.

The only way to be pure with God is to accept/believe in Jesus.



Do you want to help? Learn about Jesus in the Bible. Then tell other people so that they can learn about Jesus, too. If enough people learn about Jesus, there will be no more wars and disease.

The children that were killed are with God in Paradise if they didn't reject Jesus.

Has Bitcoin fallen yet? Has humanity failed yet? Both have been stronger at times, and weaker at other times. Humanity will never fail entirely because God will reserve some people for Himself. Bitcoin will go down with the crash of the earth... if it is still around when the crash comes.

God is in control. How? Through the physics of the universe that He made. Cause and effect, and miracles now and again. God's intervention is here all the time. John 5:17:

In his defense Jesus said to them, "My Father is always at his work to this very day, and I too am working."

Not necessarily, if humans decide to live in space and make artificial colonies etc they can also take Bitcoin with them. More probably each colony would have their own blockchain due to the distances involved.

Of course humans may go extinct much earlier. Its estimated the Sun has still 5 billion years estimated to go before its transformation into a red dwarf that may or may not swallow the Earth (but would definitely destroy its biosphere). The Earth itself is only 4.5 billion years old, so it has not even reached its half life, and 500 million years from now there is no guarantee humanity as we know it will continue to exist.

Sure Satoshi reserved some bitcoins as well, but what will ever become of them?

Its not intervened, its designed so it doesn't need any constant intervention. Control means constantly changing things that were already defined, and that is not the case. The physics of this universe aren't constantly changing, whenever ignorant humans can ever entirely comprehend them is another matter.
