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.

Some Bible Verses on Money.

Bible verses about money. I bet you didn’t think the bible said that? Proverbs 23:5 When you glance at wealth, it disappears, for it makes wings for itself and flies like an eagle to the sky. 1 Timothy 6:10 For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. Some people, eager for money, have wandered from the faith and pierced themselves with many griefs. Proverbs 13:11 Wealth quickly gained is quickly wasted — easy come, easy go! But if you gradually gain wealth, you will watch it grow. Psalm 62:10 Don’t make your living by extortion or put your hope in stealing. And if your wealth increases, don’t make it the centre of your life. Luke 6:38 “Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.” Ecclesiastes 11:1 Cast your bread upon the waters, for after many days you will find it again. Malachi 3:10 Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse, that

How Believing in God Changes Your Perspective on Time.

When you have an awareness of the Divine your perspective on time changes. Uncertainty can be the cause of a lack of belief in God. In generations past our culture has had more of an awareness of God and lived with more certainty. The bible is not just a story book for the present moment, it contains the past, the present, and the future in it. The Holy Spirit can give us a perspective that holds the past, the present, and the future, and allows us to see God’s whole picture, despite what we may be feeling or experiencing around us or in our lives. Trials and persecution can make it difficult to see the whole picture, but I believe that it’s a gift of God to live with this perspective. Unbelief can hinder us from “seeing it all” and insecurities and weaknesses can also disable us from living with this certainty. Also the fear of death, or impending doom, can erase God’s perspective of the future, because our minds get clouded with fear, and we are not able to perceive reality prope

Why has the church lost its capacity and power?

The church has modernized itself and in the process has lost something very valuable. It has lost its capacity to be personable. The way we reach lost souls is by seeing them, by getting to know them, and by recognizing them, but people are getting lost in the church. The church has become a busy place and is also becoming a less holy place. To make disciples we have to get to know people, and technology in the church is depersonalizing souls, and depersonalizing God for them. Faith becomes a marketable commodity, whereas in the past, churches and their leaders nourished and valued personal faith. While faith is still valued, it’s becoming something that is marketable, which reminds me of the story of Jesus in the temple turning over tables (Matthew 21:12-17). The problem isn’t that the church doesn’t work or doesn’t want to share the gospel, it could be how we are doing it. The church is currently being run like a business, and each Christian metaphorically speaking has a profit val
