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.
I think there is enough proof within recorded history and the Bible that God will pretty much act like a jerk based on his own impulses. Yes, he does like this thing he found and he will act unfairly when the thing is mistreated. Why? Because he is the only one allowed to mistreat it. Anyone else who does it is stepping out of line.
ReplyDeleteThe short answer is that you are always going to live under the gun of God and that is reality. Reality is reality. Don't fight it. Except it and work with it... because it's reality.
To play along is to become an artist in your own right. So long as your work interests THE Artist, all shall be well... ultimately. Your work will hang in his gallery if its good OR bad enough to notice.
DeleteIndeed God is THE Artist! He creates with no other reason than to make something cool for the fun of it. His Friend inspires him and he creates accordingly, function does not matter to him. His Son is the one who makes it all work bringing it all together. God is THE source all that we do is in his name, the ability to create comes from him and is our gift to use accordingly.
ReplyDeleteIndeed. An evil man who makes his evil interesting has a better chance of being saved than the supposedly good man God finds boring.
