Is God a Cosmic Vibration or the Absolute Creator?

In Hinduism God is the manifested cosmic vibration that permeates and upholds all things. You need to attune your consciousness to this force through meditation if you want to experience God. God has manifested his being through creation, and our bodies, and part of realizing God is realizing this truth in Hinduism. But is God really a force that permeates this creation and our bodies, or does He live outside of this creation? Talking about God in Hebrews 7:26, the bible says; “For it was indeed fitting that we should have such a high priest, holy, innocent, unstained, separated from sinners, and exalted above the heavens.” Here the bible says that God is separate from sinners, yet God is absolute.

God is also sovereign, performing His will above the will of man. Read Ephesians 1:11 “In him we were also chosen, having been predestined according to the plan of him who works out everything in conformity with the purpose of his will.” In Hinduism as well as Christianity we are co-creators with God, but in Hinduism it is man becoming God that does the creation where as in Christianity it is a divinized man creating with God, or with the help of the Holy Spirit who lives inside of the redeemed. Man doesn’t realize his godhood, God lives inside man making him holy, and living out the plan and purposes of God through man, not in man.

While man is called to holiness, in Christianity it is never apart from the purpose and Divine counsel of God. Through sin, man rebelled against God and part of the purpose of man is to be restored to fellowship with God. This is done through accepting the free gift of salvation offered through Jesus Christ. When we are restored this way through being born again, we live with a new purpose and a new Master. Our battle is against sin, for which we now have a Saviour helping us, and guiding us home. The goal is not to become God, as in Hinduism, but to become like God in our character, until one day, at the resurrection we will be made fully in God’s image. This is Mike.

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
