That Which May be Known of God
 And this is eternal life, that they may know You,the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom You have sent.John 17:3
…… (Jesus Christ)
When we learn enough about a person and feel that we can reasonably predictwhat they will or won’t do, we say we know them.Ever run into anyone who knows little or nothing about you, yet that person iswilling to say all manner of things against you that seems to come up into their emotions. There may be reasons for this, but often, we cannot tell why peoplesay such things.Sometimes we will hear ourselves or someone else say, “He, she or they don’tknow me! I would never do that.”One thing that most of us are sure of is that we would not allow someone that wedo not know to care for our children nor do anything important for us withoutsome way of vouching for their character. The best evidence of what a personwill do is to ascertain what they have done.This of course is why Employers not only want your resume but references andsometimes a background check.The quotation above made by Jesus was emphasized by the statement, “this iseternal life.”We have seen many who ask, “Do you believe in God?” Many will say yes,others will say no or not sure.There are people who will cut your throat for no reason that you can discernimmediately, only later to find out that what Jesus said to his disciples apply.“That a time was coming that people will kill you and think they are doing God aservice.”When was the last time any professing Christian that you know, crawled for mileson their knees, till they were bleeding, beat themselves bloody or blewthemselves into bits in the name of God. Did those people really believe? Jesussaid they would. Are those that do such things dedicated? They kill themselvesfor it. So should they be held guilty, since they truly believed God wanted themto do this?
 
It is written, “That which may be known of God is CLEARLY seen beingunderstood by that which is made, even his eternal power and God head, so thatthey are without excuse.”
So let’s look at what was made and can clearly be seen
.1. A universe made to order, complete with a set of laws that governs all. There isno law without a law maker. Neither can any man even formulate a theory of howthese laws come about because the minute you begin to show a process, youare implicitly saying there are rules and logic in place already. So, all theories of man begin with something already existing, they cannot bring themselves tocontemplate a God. Like it was written long ago, they would be “ever learning butnever able to come to the knowledge of the truth.” But its there, they simplyrefuse for their own reasons.We will stop with that ultimate question, because it alone, proves the point thatGod exists.2. Secondly, let’s look at man. He created them male and Female. He said, “letus make man in our own image, in our own likeness.” And readers, that is whatsalvation is all about. That’s what the whole story of man is all about.3. Later, God made the man and woman to produce children in their own imageand their own likeness and we have been imitating God ever since. This subjectdeserves its own blog.4. Anyway, God could have made man so that man never did anything differentfrom what he wanted him to do. Kind of like we do robots. Ever notice how we just cannot wait to make a robot that can think for it self? We romanticize robotsin movies, some how the robot goes beyond that for which it was made andbecomes more human. Oh, how we swallow that stuff up in movies. I’ll admit it, Ilove that stuff!God wants someone to commune with that can love and adore him because theywant to. He wants other beings, like himself, with some comprehension of whatHe is about. We have that same longing in us. Remember God could doeverything he wants by himself, but then he would remain alone. He has desiredto have a larger family. Can you see this from what he’s done?5. We also love the struggle to overcome in movies. Remember the Titans, to Sir with love, or any number of others with that theme.
 
6. Then there is marriage and love, the act of two people becoming one flesh.All of these are types or shadows of God’s plan for humans. We act them out justas surely as the 11 tribes and the Jews acted out Jesus’ crucifixion for 1500years, until he died on the cross and was resurrected. All was depicted in a typecast format. There is yet, more to be fulfilled.7. God has chosen that like as we teach our children and hope a day comes thatwe can let them perform as adults, so we should also get the point.Because God has Chosen to make children of his own and do the same. Thesechildren will be of his very own household as it were.As it’s written, “I have said that ye are gods and all of you children of the mosthigh.” That is said to all that the word of God partakes with. Another scripturesays “I will live in them and walk in them.”God has chosen to take two and make one by bringing both God and mantogether in Christ., as says his name, Emmanuel, or GOD WITH US.8. God could come down with loads of angels and convince the world. He hasappointed a day that he will do this, at the end of a certain process, namely thefirst of harvest. This was another depiction by ancient Israel.God could get rid of Satan, whenever he wants to, yet he doesn’t do it that way.9. God has at times, sent Human armies against evil men and God does notchange.10. God has said that I set Death and life before you, Good and evil, so choosethe good that you may live.11. God has said, “The soul that sins it shall die.”12. The scriptures say, “The living knows that they shall die, but the dead knownot anything. Their love, their hatred and their envy has all perished. Neither have they a portion forever in anything done under the sun.”God, no matter how much he says he loves, refuses to stop all the destructionand death, even of the little ones, on our schedule.

There seems to be another myth that Jesus was made up that he never existed. That Jesus was never born in Dec. It was all the governments way of controlling the people and bringing in millions of dollars a day on top of it, whether this true or not. I believe God lives in each an everyone of us and that we have free will to choose our destiny. thank you for the article my best healingtouch
