God is in Control

[BADecker]

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.

There is no proof as to the age of the earth. Much of the evidence suggests only a 10,000 to 20,000 year age. The idea of 4.5 billion years is only an advertised number, accepted by a few scientists who have interpreted certain observations the way they want, and believed by many people who are susceptible to all kinds of advertising.

If humans all got together voluntarily and decided to live in space... nobody knows that they could? It's never been done. And the few who live on the space stations are nothing compared with the whole population. Space life on colonies is an unknown.

Consider evolution. There are those who have though that evolution proceeded via "punctuated equilibrium." Why not physics changes in general?

Of course  God has control over the God who created us  He sees and controls everything in us and helps us once we are in peril The sun and therefore the sky are the sole Gods of all the world. He judges us through the great things in our lives He has given us the liberty to make us to worship Him He can destroy this world and make a replacement one if he wishes.

God is in Control?
Churches had to shut down live services, millions of hard-working people are suddenly unemployed, people cannot eat out, go to movies or concerts, sports are cancelled. Anyone paying attention would notice that the Government is in control.

God probably brought the Coronavirus on us to get us to focus on Him. After all, He is more important than life itself.

god is not humanist, he is a designer of this world,

[Subbir]

The creator of this whole world is that the only God you'll save us from of these things if you would like to In my mind he's a person's being If we pray for him he will soon solve our crisis Now everything is in his hands. the govt can do nothing If God cures this epidemic everything are going to be fine again.

A Programmer surely existed,
I asked where I am, my mind said I am in a shell living to see the world until its ending.

Our curious mind always asked if a Programmer molded us then who molded him?
My answer is he is always the first I call it the Orig Programmer the source of all and the Alpha and Omega of Creation, Cycle, and Reboot.

The crisis and pandemic isn't this current CV thing. Rather, it is the whole idea of death.

God sent His Son into the world to die for our sins. Now that this is done, even though the death crisis affects us all, there will be a resurrection at the last day.

Which god is in control?   Is it like the DT system, where different gods get chances at changing the world every month or year or eon?

The god in control right now believes his creation is too populous.  :/

You continually ask, "Which god?" There is only one God. God the creator.

There are many angels who are stronger than people, and might look like gods to some people. There are even people who are "strong" in some way so that they might look like gods to other people. But there is only one God, the Creator.

You say that.  Billions of others say different. 

My question still stands - which god is in control right now, so we can remove them from the rotation?

There isn't any "right now" about it. You can't remove the Creator. Satan tried that and failed.

Many people like yourself haven't checked into the evidence and the proof for God. As many people have idols, you, also have an idol (or many of them). That idol is yourself, that you think you are smart enough to place yourself above God.

Because of the thing that God made people for - to recognize His wonderfulness, and praise Him for it - He has built into you the ability and strength to reject Him if you want.

But you don't want to see His goodness. You don't want to recognize the millions of opportunities He is giving you to turn to Him. It's too bad, too. Because God will get from you what He wants... you can't get away from it. But it will be painful for you, in the end, when you are forced to recognize Him, and that you wilfully rejected the only thing that can bring you peace... believing in God.

The important thing for you at this stage is that you keep on looking at things that other people say about God. This is important, because the more you focus on God - even though you think He doesn't exist - the more chance you have to slip up in your own hold on your will that is against God. And the more chance you have to turn and be saved.

But, understand one thing. The machinery of life was built by God, the Creator of all things. And, He has left Himself observations of and controls over of everything... that is, REAL controls over everything. He also desires freedom for people.

Because God is in control, and because he wants freedom for people, and because He observes everything, the only way for us to keep our freedom is to freely come to know God, and to have a free and right relationship with Him. There are 3 ways that God introduces Himself to us, so that we hopefully get into a right relationship with Him:

God gave people freedom - this is the greatest gift that can be given. Therefore, even when we are not on the side of God, but on the side of the devil (when we are not doing good deeds, but doing bad deeds), then this is our choice, because God gave us the freedom to choose. This is necessary in order to develop your spiritual side, possibly, it will take several lives (reincarnation). However, any person can develop his spirituality in one life, if he chooses it and will strive for God every day.
Yes, God is everywhere, but God does not want our endless deaths and rebirths. It is our choice when we act badly (no matter what).
But God is always open to us if we choose his side. It is never too late to start living high ideals such as sincerity, friendship, true all-encompassing love, conscience, etc.

1. Offering it to us through the Bible;

God is one for all people, no matter what you call him (depending on religion or culture). Spiritual knowledge is in all religions and different spiritual movements. It is important to understand them correctly.

2. Allowing pain to come to us so that we turn to Him for help;

We can turn to God only to guide us on the spiritual path. If we ask for something materially (health of the physical body, well-being of the family, etc.), then we ask for it not from God, but from the devil, because the nature of God (and our soul) is spiritual and immortal. Everything material in this world is mortal. Of course, we should monitor our health, make money out of necessity, but our main goal is to achieve immortality, i.e. connect with the spiritual.

3. Destroying those who will not accept Him, so that those who do accept will not be influenced to turn away from Him.

Or in other words - those who do not accept God, but accept the devil, will destroy themselves.

God works everything. The things we do are things worked by God, spiritual or otherwise. The fact that we do evil at times, is why Jesus suffered. God can't do evil, but He does everything. So, Jesus suffered the pain of maintaining the universe (for a time) even though there is evil in it. Our spiritual life is us requesting God a little, and is God directing us a lot.

1. Offering it to us through the Bible;

God is one for all people, no matter what you call him (depending on religion or culture). Spiritual knowledge is in all religions and different spiritual movements. It is important to understand them correctly.

But people are not one for God. Some people don't recognize the real God. The real God must include Jesus-God as well as the Creator-God, and the Holy-Spirit-God, Who is active on Earth, now. However, just because many people don't recognize God, God still holds them... for a time. Nobody recognizes God perfectly.

2. Allowing pain to come to us so that we turn to Him for help;

We can turn to God only to guide us on the spiritual path. If we ask for something materially (health of the physical body, well-being of the family, etc.), then we ask for it not from God, but from the devil, because the nature of God (and our soul) is spiritual and immortal. Everything material in this world is mortal. Of course, we should monitor our health, make money out of necessity, but our main goal is to achieve immortality, i.e. connect with the spiritual.

Part of Jesus's ministry on Earth was a ministry of healing. We are not limited to spiritual things when we ask God. Mark 11:22-26:

22“Have faith in God,” Jesus answered. 23“Truly I tell you, if anyone says to this mountain, ‘Go, throw yourself into the sea,’ and does not doubt in their heart but believes that what they say will happen, it will be done for them. 24Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours. 25And when you stand praying, if you hold anything against anyone, forgive them, so that your Father in heaven may forgive you your sins.”

3. Destroying those who will not accept Him, so that those who do accept will not be influenced to turn away from Him.

Or in other words - those who do not accept God, but accept the devil, will destroy themselves.

All people have essentially destroyed themselves in this life, through death. Those who are blatantly and formally evil, bring an early death on themselves... partially because the universe is directed towards good by God, and partially because God is protecting those who are not so blatantly and formally evil.

However, the timing is up to God. At times He lets evil people last a long time, while believers are taken home early in life.
