Inside the mind of God. Oh God, where do I start? I am thinking that over time to try and see through the mind of God and God’s plan would be like fitting a camel through the eye of a needle. It’s pretty close to impossible. No, it’s damn impossible. We as humans can try to extrapolate thought and ideas, but can we truly know Gods mind. I find it interesting. First that I am writing about this because to be honest it scares and concerns me being raised religious. I am no longer religious (spiritual) which I feel gives me a deeper, more understanding relationship with God. It concerns me that maybe I am overstepping my bounds here with my higher power but I feel like I have been led by my higher power to write this. Given the green light so to speak, my first thoughts inside the mind of God is the creation and then devastation and then the creation and then devastation again. It begs the question that we all seem to have an answer for – “God does not make mistakes!” These clearly sound like mistakes to me of course I am human, and I am not inside the mind of God Perhaps we put too much perfection on God. It’s has been repeated. Only God is perfect, and maybe he is, but maybe the definition is wrong with us and right with God. What if it’s okay that God is not PERFECT I mean after all aren’t we created in his image.

Also, this thing with God creating the world in six days and resting on the 7th! Why does a God need to rest? I have to tell you that I laughed as I wrote that. A God needing to rest just how stupid is that. A God is all-powerful, omnipotent, the idea of God resting sounds like a fantasy to me, a fairy tale. Now those religions who worship the Sabbath day to keep it Holy for some religions that day is Sunday and for others it’s a Saturday. Did anyone ever stop to think that God had other things to do and since we mortals cannot interpret Gods time how do we know? Perhaps God was and still is creating the earth.

The idea that God destroys makes God sound like a killer a murderer. Let’s exam this according to legend – I mean the bible. God has destroyed the earth with a flood, has sent out famine, plagues, let’s not forget Sodom and Gomorrah. All these times told of devastation and death had God made a mistake in his creation. Again the question is how is that possible since God is all-powerful, all-knowing, The Creator, perfect. Maybe it begs the question that God is not our vision of who humans think or say God is. I refer to the idea that we are made in God’s image, we are not perfect and not meant to be because he is not. It is more than likely why we exist and continue to exist. Well, I’ll get into that later.

Now I’m about to throw a little twist into this. So God makes mistakes. First of all let me say that he is allowed to do so after all he created the earth and all there is, that’s got to be a lot of work. Take a look around sometime and breathe it all in. We think that because we build buildings, cars, trains, ships, and send people to the moon that these are huge task. And while they are, they are no comparison to this world, universe that we live in that God created.

What is a God? God is by our definition simply – A God but we have made God so much more and in some ways so little less that God is.

Here’s a question? Where is God now? Now I know that depending on one’s faith, the quick response is he’s “here” “all around us” living in you and me! Okay, those are all good but God presented himself a lot during biblical times. Speaking to Moses, Abraham, Issac, and David just to name a few. Now according to the Bible these were definite conversations as it were because things were being told to these men and as predicted by God occurred and happened just as God said they would. I wonder why God doesn’t do this today? There are ministers and such who claim that in the name of God things happening is God punishing certain people or a specific group of people. Others predicting things such as the world ending on a certain day, or time a lot of them being specific, and nothing happens. Others are claiming that the reason there are devastation, disasters and disease in the world is because God sent it. None of these statements or comments being facts more like ways to exert fear upon the world. Why hasn’t God sent word to us about destroying the earth – i.e. a person?

Okay, ponder these things for a moment. Please feel free to leave comments and thoughts. This topic is going to be an ongoing subject on my blog, so please stay tuned for more.
