Artful Divinity


Why does God allow evil in the world? Why is there suffering and death? Why not?

God is the Artist. He was always the Artist. Creation is his art.

Function is a nonissue. Physics are not of themselves. Reality “makes sense” because it is reality, and for no other reason. Reality shall always bend to the will of its Creator.

Yahweh, the Father, is the Artist. He creates because it is fun to create. He is Love, thus, he loves his Creation, but as the Artist. It belongs to him. He does not belong to it.

God was never lonely. His Friend was always with him. He could not see or hear his Friend, however. He could only see or hear the imperfections in Creation caused by the Friend.

The Artist loved the imperfections. He saw them as the “art” of his Friend. The Artist incorporated the imperfections into his grand design.

Evil and its consequences are the imperfections as Freedom. Good and its satisfaction are the imperfections as Justice.

God, the Artist, tasked his Son, the Word, to bring the Friend to life. It was the will of the Father to actually see and hear his Friend. God did this knowing things would go horribly wrong. Nothing would be right to him till it was done.

There is only one sin never to be forgiven. Any creation who blasphemes the Friend shall be at a loss for it forever. You, creation, are expendable. God sacrificed his only begotten Son for love of his Friend, the Holy Ghost. You think he will not sacrifice you?

The Artist loves his art because it is his. He likes it interesting in the same way we enjoy novels or movies. Yes, murder, mayhem and war are horrible… but they are interesting. God does enjoy them, in the same way we enjoy tragedies and horror movies.

Your every interest comes from God. You have none of your own. God is the source of good and evil alike. Every creation serves him, whether for him or against him. The Artist declared, “It is finished” and he said it pleased with his work.
