The Transcendental Reality of God.

God is a transcendent being. He is the first cause of all Creation. He existed in a transcendental state before the creation of time. When you think of the word transcendent it is hard to put a definition in your mind about what that actually means. To be transcendent as I am going to use the word to describe God, means to be above, literally above human perception. We cannot feel God with our senses, however there are many sensations that we attribute to God falsely. In order to fully know God our senses have to be trained, but to really know God I postulate we must know Him with our minds. The reason alone cannot fully grasp to the transcendent reality of God, and faith leads us to belief but belief in itself doesn't guarantee that one will experience God or Heaven. Because God is transcendent the question we must ask is how do we transcend our own reality to find Him?

In the first book of Romans in the Bible it talks about those who supress the truth in unrighteousness. What this means is that they do not make any attempt to seek God. To find something you must look for it, but if you do not believe something exists you will automatically fail at the attempt. So regardless of what I said above the first step in finding a transcendental God is belief in Him. When you truly believe in God with all of your heart, then next you need to search for him. Your cognizant concept of God will go totally against what the bible teaches about God, unless your belief is structured. Regardless, belief if pursed will eventually lead to faith, and this is where your reason will kick in. Your reason will either solidify your faith, or you will become very rigid and dogmatic and your search for the transcendent God will fail. In order to succeed you must do away with your reason, because faith is not reason no matter what anyone tells you. You must transcend your reason to actually experience God.

Using the senses at this point actually helps, every smell, every delicious meal, and every thought created by the proper use of your senses will lead you closer to experiencing the joy and the bliss that you desire, which is God's essence. God is not the senses, but He created the senses for you to enjoy Him through them. God's essence is also found in your soul. Through proper use of your conscience you will definitely transcend the joyless temporal experience and feel God through your mind. When God can be felt in the body and the mind, you will be happy.

On Christian Marriage. (Short)

On Christian Marriage. (Short) The modern co-habitation crisis has produced a lot of single moms and dads, and has fractured "family units" allowing other family members and relatives to take a bigger role in these "Separated families." There isn't a "one cause" why families have separated or divorced, it is a complicated issue, sometimes resulting in very hard emotions for Society to process. Things like the "millennial sexual revolution" have contributed to the widespread "non-committal" attitude, which in turn has given the traditional marriage the "black eye" it currently has and has turned many Christian men away from seeking a life partner. The more society devalues "traditional marriage" the more co-habitation you will see in all the other generations as well as the Millennials. This is Mike.

Why Christians must show Mutual Concern for One another.

Look and see, there is no one at my right hand; no one is concerned for me. I have no refuge; no one cares for my life. Psalm 142:4. Christians in the church should have mutual concern for one another, this is what it means to be part of the body of Christ, 1 Corinthians 12:25. It’s takes good pastoral leadership to foster this sense of concern, and where it is missing, individuals who are suffering in the church are overlooked and not supported. Every believer needs support and encouragement, but when this is missing, the church divides and loses it power and testimony. Christians live like the world, and become vulnerable to Satan’s attacks when nobody is supporting them outside the church. I used to belong to an evangelical church which had great leadership, and something called small groups. This church felt like a family and I had people who shared my Christian walk with me when I was not in the church building. I have been attending a different denomination that doesn’t hav...

The Existence of God

Since the beginning of time, man has learned about the existence of God. It began in the Garden of Eden where Adam and Eve walked and talked with God, however when they sinned, they died spiritually and their closeness with God was severed. In Genesis 4:26 it reads “Seth also had a son, and he named him Enosh. At that time people began to call on the name of the LORD.” Seth was the third son of Adam and Eve, so it’s fair to say that not too long after mankind fell, we also called upon the Lord. From that time until now, mankind was closer to God then, but it’s a modern shift that the world is in the state it is in now, mainly unbelief, because even 30 years ago from now, mankind was closer to God. It is also true that in ancient Israel’s history, there have been generations that fell away and forgot God, but in the time of the prophets Israel was never left without a word from the Lord. Many generations have come and gone, but there have been remarkable generations all thr...
