      💕THE THEOLOGICAL DIMENSION💕

No doubt, it will interest us to have another dimension of "PROOF" of God's existence. This time the Theological Aspect of it. Taking the whole world as base, who would you, O my Ideal Reader, regard as the Greatest Man Of God among men?

Surely, The Blessed Lord Jesus Christ De Messiah Yahshua should be your fast answer for the simple reason that in all human history, no Divine Servant had come near Him in accomplishment & simple demonstration of very High Divine Principles. Lord Jesus Christ De Messiah demonstrated the entire Gifts, all the Talents, all the Intellectual Skills known & unknown to mankind in a complex & dynamic mix that is still baffling to us about two thousands years after.

Though, I have searched & searched through records, even ancient legends of many races, yet I have not come across any Divine Servant like The Blessed Lord Christ De Messiah. He is, no doubt, a Class by Himself; & He is the highest.

So whatever He teaches about God, whatever He affirms about God, whatever He reveals about God, whatever He testifies about God & whatever He demonstrates about God is the Truth, ultimate & beyond, superior to whatever other Divine Servants might have taught, are willing to teach or could be assumed to have taught. 

Alleluia!! Amen. Hosanna In The Highest!

Wherein any teaching of any Mystic, Healer, Prophet, Teacher, Philosopher, Priest, etc. conflicts with the teaching of our Lord Jesus Christ De Messiah Yahshua to the extent, then, that other teaching is wrong & should be dropped. This is the interest of the human race for its Salvation & in the utmost interest of the individual for close relationship with God.

Our Blessed Lord Christ De Messiah is the ultimate Source of Knowledge about God. He affirmed the teachings of the ancient Prophets about God. He gave us further revelations about The Principles by which God governs the world & the intention of Almighty God concerning the future of the human race.

Actually, when it comes to the matter of who God is & so forth, inasmuch as we have Jesus Christ of history, not to talk of The Blessed, Resurrected Living CHRIST De MESSIAH of Contemporary Consciousness of available Innovation, the Preponderance of Evidence is that we should all look to Him as the Final Authority. This is the only sensible thing left for us to do. It is only where He hasn't talked that others can talk with relative significance. Wherever He has talked, it is final. It settles all controversies. It corrects all previous talks. In fact, it cancel s or nullifies all previous talks.

Where Lord Christ De Messiah, The Son of GOD spoke about God or Heaven or Kingdom of God, no Prophet, no Apostle, no Philosopher, no Seer, no Scholar is entitled to say anything contrary & expect it to produce fruit or yield the exalted awareness which Lord Jesus Christ De Messiah taught us to seek to attain.

Surely, God Almighty is The End of all human aspiration & no one else. That was why our Blessed Lord Jesus Christ De Messiah described Himself as The Way, The Truth & The Life. Further, The Lord Christ De Messiah is The Way to God Who is The End. He is The Truth about God & The Truth from God so that we can stop beating about the bush; so that we can be free from all kinds of shackles.

The Lord Jesus Christ De Messiah Yahshua is The Life from God to add to our flickering embers of being to rekindle the Divinity in us, to trim the wick of our aspiration so that we can burn with holy luminance & grow in the immanence of Him who made all things which are visible & invisible.

• The Almighty God is The Sole & Genuine Creator in all existence. God is both known & unknown. God is known through all His Works & through all the Agencies that He created. God is known through special manifestations of His attention, to human prayer. He is known through spectacular physical & spiritual events, which He causes to occur. God is known through Divine Messages, which He sends, through peculiar vibrations of souls dear to Him. Furthermore, God is know through Private Visitations. He is known through many other ways, too. Indeed, God exist & we know it. (Q.E.D.). 
• Alleluia!! Amen.

On the other hand, God is unknown because He is not a thing or a creature, which you can behold face to face. He is unknown in that He is not a point, which can be located in space. God is not known because He is higher than any being known. God is not known because He created all things & all things visible & invisible. He is not known in that He created the world & sustains all things therein. God is unknown because He is The MYSTERY OF ALL MYSTERIES. Therefore, God exists. (Q.E.D.)

Obviously, the apparatus of knowing SELF is part of Self & because it is part of Self, Self can never comprehend the whole of SELF. So, it is apparently a philosophic truth that no man can comprehend the whole of man. Hence, we can know man only in part.

So, if we can know man only in part or partially, how do we ever dream to know HIM thoroughly WHO created all things & us & keeps them in perfect existence! Hence, my simple statement: GOD IS KNOWN & GOD IS UNKNOWN.

The theories of God are several & distinct, too. Whilst some are simple, others are complex. Perhaps you have your own view of God. This is inevitable - after all, You & I are made in the Image of God & after His likeness. However, what is important is that you must be prepared to update your view about God, especially if your view is @ variance with that of The Blessed Lord CHRIST De MESSIAH, The Blessed Saviour of the World. 
Alleluia!! Amen.

No doubt, all of us are quite familiar with The Divine Title: "GOD". It's just the Resonance of Doubt, doubt whether or not He exist that bother the minds of some individuals of myopic spiritual foresight devoid of philosophic insight. They really don't realize or perhaps refuse to understand that human nature is bound with much limitations. They fail to understand that human language is never adequate to describe God in His Infinite Divine Being. If the human language is so limited in application & inadequate as to describe God, how do you think that man can actually & totally know God.

For God Almighty, Who is The Maker of Heaven & Earth, is omniscient, omnipotent & omnipresent. God is immutable & immortal. God is ineffable, impassible, impalpable & impeccable. He is God because He is The Head & He existed before all things. He is Father because He created all things. He is Almighty because He holds all things. He is Lord because He is Lord over all things. He is The Most High because He is above all things & What is Above is above all! Alleluia!! Amen.

In fact, GOD is GOD! It was He Who by His Invisible Hand & Mighty Power & Great Wisdom created the Universe; & for His Glorious Purpose clothed His Creation with beauty; & by His Powerful Words fixed the Heavens & founded the Earth above the waters. The heights of the Heavens & the Ends of the Abyss are in His Holy Hands. The Heavens do not contain God; on the contrary, He contains them as He contains EVERYTHING visible & invisible. Hence, the Scriptural informative revelation, that The Earth is His Footstool.

Therefore, all men in this planet Earth are called upon to worship Him Who alone is GOD, alone LORD, alone ALMIGHTY, alone The MOST HIGH, alone CREATOR & SOVEREIGN & alone Contains All Things & Bestows Existence on them. God & Him alone is the Master & Demi-urge of all things - The Lord Who controls the entire Universe & all things therein, both Visible & Invisible - The Lord Who, though invisible, dwells in His CREATION. God Almighty is The Supernatural, Infinite & Glorious Being of immeasurable dynamic ENERGY! So God Exists. (Q.E.D.). 

Alleluia!! Amen. Hosanna In The Highest!

Blessed Be Thou, O Almighty God, The Father Of Everlasting Life, Goodness, Divine Mercies & Love, Who Has Shown Favour To All Mankind, Even Those Who Were Sinners Against Thee, Blessed LORD & Brought Them To The Mercy Of Paradise & Placed Them Amongst Thy Favoured Kingdom Saints @ ZION Of Holy Jerusalem & With Thy Great Spiritual Provisions In A Spiritual & Holy Life Thru Thy Most Merciful Son, The Blessed Lord, CHRIST De MESSIAH, The Redeemer Of Mankind, To Whom Be The Glory, Blessings, Honour, Wisdom, Thanksgiving, Power & Dominion From Everlasting To Everlasting. 

Amen. Alleluia!! Hosanna In The Highest!

Amen. Alleluia!! Hosanna In The Highest! 

Blessed, Sparkling Kingdom Brethren @ ZION: In our "Today's Scripture Quote" we are highly favoured & specially blessed with a great, dazzling, edifying but challenging Divine Kingdom Message of striking contemporary relevance & spiritual significance of great dimension. 

Alleluia!! Amen. Hosanna In The Highest!

How grateful all of us should be to Almighty God & His Blessed Most Merciful Son, Lord Jesus Christ De Messiah Yahshua, for equipping us so well for spiritual warfare. We are now positioned to form up in battle line to engage the enemies of God & His Christ De Messiah. 

Amen. Alleluia!! Hosanna!

Evidently, Satan de Devil contradicts The True God & deceptively claims that he himself is the fountain of knowledge. Those ideas & many more are the "the reasonings & every lofty thing raised up against the Knowledge of God" 

(2 Corinthians 10: 5). 

Thanks be to Almighty God that we have the necessary armour: Faith, Truth, Righteousness, the Hope of Salvation, the Word of God & the Blessed Good News of Peace (Ephesians 6: 14-17). 

Alleluia!! Amen.

Indeed, the Divine Victory is sure. And ours? Double sure! 

Amen. Alleluia!! Hosanna In The Highest!

Quite excitingly interesting, The Holy Scriptures revealed the remarkable Divine Militancy & Spiritual Sanitation of Gideon, God's Mighty Man of Valour, divinely commissioned with the great Deliverance Ministry @ Kingdom Military Operations in Divine Spiritual Warfare in ancient Israel. This was Gideon, the Biblical Judge & God's Militant Apostle of ancient Kingdom of Israel.

The LORD said unto Gideon: "Go in this thy might, and thou shall save Israel from the hands of the Midianites: have I not sent thee"?....."Surely, I will be with thee" 

(Judges 6: 14, 16). Alleluia!! Amen. Hosanna In The Highest!

Certainly, The Holy Scriptures unfolded one strikingly interesting & edifying point of spiritual significance & ministerial relevance herein. God's Divine Commission to erect an altar of testimony unto The Lord God came subsequent to his initial ACTION in first & foremost building an altar unto God, after his "Divine Glorious Encounter" with The Lord God. Hence, the Divine Injunction: "Throw down the altar of Baal that thy father hath......and cut down the Asherah Grove that is by it, and build an altar to Jehovah thy God" (Judges 6: 25b - 26a).

Evidently, it was only after the Altar of Worship was set up that God called Gideon as a servant to bear public testimony. Of course, that began in his own father's house. The great commission embraced a destruction of the altar of Baal, along with the Asherah tree that was beside it: and substituting for these the holy Altar of Testimony, as the Altar of Almighty God. 

Alleluia Amen. Hosanna In The Highest!

Similarly, it is the foremost obligation of a Servant of God to build a positive Divine Altar of Testimony unto The Lord God (REPENTANCE & DEDICATION TO GOD) & casting down the unholy shrine of past idol & idolatrous practices thereof (SACRED ACTION & RESTITUTION). For unless we do this, our Testimony of The Lord Christ De Messiah won't meet the "Divine Approval & Glory".

Surely, the overthrowing of the idols of SIN & spiritual adultery thereof is the SECRET OF DIVINE POWER. The Spirit of God only came upon the Old Testament Apostle, Gideon De Judge, when he had accomplished the essential sacred act. Alleluia!! Amen. Hosanna In The Highest!

Of course, the contemporary Child of God & His servant might not have a physical altar of Baal & the Asherah shrine thereof, but majority of the Children & Servants of God @ this end-time era may have many other idols, which more often than not, they prefer to the power of faithful Walk with Almighty God. There are idols of SIN all over the place, which take the place of God in men's lives, say the idol of greed, covetousness, adultery, spiritual adultery, fame, priestcraft, hatred, corruption, etc. All these idols must be cast off before we stand to represent the Almighty God & serve in the Divine Capacity as His Holy Ambassadors on earth.

No doubt, Gideon obeyed without hesitation, compromise & reservation. As far as Gideon was concerned, these idols are nothing to compare with the Goodness, Power & Glory of Almighty God of Israel Who his fathers worshipped. 

Alleluia!! Amen. Hosanna In The Highest!

In conclusion, every committed Child of Almighty God & all His Kingdom Servants must be His Witness of the Blessed Testimony of Lord Christ De Messiah. This can be attained only when, first & foremost, we reject the false altar of Baal (SIN) in our lives, dismantle & shatter to pieces all the Grove of spiritual deceits & idol worship, which lie besides our former unholy altar of idolatry.

The Servants of God & all His committed Children of the Kingdom @ ZION are called to walk with The Lord God in The Power of Testimony of The Blessed CHRIST De MESSIAH, The Lord & Saviour of Mankind.

Indeed, "Total Obedience In All Faithfulness, Holiness & Righteousness" is the Sacred Pathway to Divine Power & Victory, to God's Glory & by His Grace.

 Amen. Alleluia!! Hosanna In The Highest!

So, Blessed Lord, Set The Sign Of The Victory Of YOUR Holy Cross Of Salvation In Our Habitations, That Sin & Death May No Longer Have Dominion Over Us - YOUR Favoured Kingdom Saints @ ZION Of Holy Jerusalem: Our Glorious Happy Home. Amen & Amen. 

Alleluia!! Hosanna In The Highest!

Blessed Kingdom Brethren @ ZION: Earlier we noted that SIN is an inherent ingredient of every helpless human mind & make-up. Certainly, this means that "every one was born with a lawless, Sin-prone nature"; & of course that all men have sinned. Above all, the human mind is naturally antagonistic towards God's Holy Law (Romans 8: 7). In fact, the Spiritual Mirror God uses to show a sinner his/her spiritual condition is His Holy Commandments & those who break them commit SIN.

THE PURPOSE OF THE HOLY LAW: 

The Holy Scriptures make it plain that the real function of God's Holy Law Of Commandments is to make men recognize & be conscious of SIN (Romans 7: 20). Apostle Paul in Romans 7: 7 states: "If it had not been for the Law, I should not have recognized Sin or have its meaning". For instance, I would not have known about covetousness - would have no consciousness of Sin or sense of Sin - if the Holy Commandments had not repeatedly said, "You shall not covet & have an evil desire".

The above texts, no doubt, show that God's Law exposes Sin; it brings it to one's notice, it shows it up for what it really is; & were a society to set it aside - then within a single generation it would be quite incapable of defining or even recognizing sin. Such a society would inevitably descend into a vortex of Lawlessness - a chaos of worst order - vice & vandalism that surpass its imagination - let alone control! 

FORMS OF SIN:

 In a nutchel, we have SIX words that are synonymous to SIN. Because of the constraint of space & time, I may not stand to exhaust them all herein. But I will have time & space to reveal & examine them in the subsequent tutorial work of this Theological Romance @ ZION. So Help Me God! Amen. Alleluia!! Hosanna In The Highest!

First & foremost, SIN Is LAWLESSNESS, the transgression of the Law of God (1 John 3: 4). God established the boundary line between Good & Evil & whenever we overstep that boundary, whenever we are guilty of intrusion into the forbidden area of evil, we are breaking the Law & committing Sin. Whenever we fail to live up to the standard & requirements of the Ten Holy Commandments, whenever we go contrary to the precepts of the Lord's Sermon on the Mount, we have transgressed the Law of God & then we are guilty of Sin. 

Apostle James made it quite plain that we are guilty when he stated: "But everyone is tempted when he is drawn away of his own lust and enriched. Then when lust is conceived, it bringeth forth Sin, and when it is finished, bringeth forth death" (James 1: 14-15). It is because we have all broken God's Laws, all transgressed His Holy Commandments that we are all classified as sinners.

Secondly, SIN Is FAILURE To Do Good: Not only do we sin by doing things - outward acts - forbidden by God. We also sin by "Failing" To Do Good when we have opportunity. In other words, God not only wants us to refrain from evil, He also wants us to act by doing good. According to Apostle James: "To him, therefore, that knoweth to do good and doeth it not, to him it is Sin" (James 4: 17).

All of these Sins are really expressions of Satan's character as revealed in & through mankind: for SIN, we must emphasize, is rebellion against God's Holy Law & it originated with Satan the Arch-rebel & lawless one.

Third, SIN IS INIQUITY: INIQUITY is the deviation from Right  whether or not the particular act has been expressively forbidden. Iniquity has to do with our

inner motivations, the very things that we so often try to keep hidden from the eyes of men & God. They are the wrongs which spring from our own corrupt nature rather than the evil acts which force of circumstances sometimes causes us to commit.

• The Lord CHRIST De MESSIAH described this inner corruptness when He said: "From within, out of the heart of men proceeds evil thoughts - adulteries, fornication, murders, thefts, covetousness, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness: All these evil things come from within and defile the man (Mark 7: 21-23). 

Fourth: SIN As "MISSING THE MARK", Falling short of the goal that has been set. God's GOAL is Blessed CHRIST De MESSIAH. In fact, the GOAL of a genuine Christian is CHRISTLIKENESS. The object & end-purpose of all life is to live up to the life of Lord Christ De Messiah. He came to show us what it is possible for man to achieve here on earth; & when we fail to follow His example, we "miss the mark" & fall short of the Divine standard; & thereby commit Sin.

Blessed Sparkling Kingdom Brethren @ Zion: We have two more terms that are synonymous to SIN, namely:

SIN Is A form Of TRESPASS & SIN Is UNBELIEF.

However, because of limitation of space & time, I want to decline for the time being in affording you description of these last two words that describe SIN. 

But if the Lord Christ De Messiah tarries to effect His forthcoming Rapture of the Kingdom Saints @ ZION Of Holy Jerusalem before our subsequent Theological Romance @ ZION, then, I will in the subsequent tutorial work, endeavour to lend sufficient explanations to the final terms of SIN. Permit me now to have my own breakfast, like you did, all right! 

Alleluia!! Amen. Hosanna In The Highest! 

Before our next necessary Theological Discourse, I want to offer YOU a cordial, warm & special "INVITATION TO THE BLESSED LORD CHRIST De MESSIAH" Who is The Saviour of the World.

Thus, YOU will lay YOUR burden down. YOU will learn of the simplicity of Truth. YOU will develop the power within. YOU will receive the Power from without. YOU will enter a new segment of eternity. YOU will begin to realize YOUR CREATOR, our Creator & Eternal Father, personally.

Stay put in aspiration. Hold on to this tutorial piece with challenge, in expectation, to conquer SIN in YOUR LiIFE. Open up the expectation; don't limit YOUR SOUL to reach out to Divine Goodness. YOU are going to lay YOUR burden down @ the Holy Feet of Blessed Lord Jesus Christ De Messiah Yahshua, The Most Merciful Son Of God. SO BE IT, O LORD! 

Alleluia!! Amen.

O How Blessed & Wonderful Are God's Gifts To Men Of Integrity & Goodwill: Life In Blessed Immortality! Brightness In Righteousness! Truth In Full Assurance! Faith In Confidence! Temperance In Holiness! And These, The Eternal Heavenly Father Has Subjected To Our Understanding & Edification, As It Pleases Him, In His Grace & Love. 

Alleluia!! Amen.

Behold, Blessed are they who embrace & live by the pure, Total Gospel Truths & Wisdom of Blessed CHRIST De MESSIAH, for they shall be called the Sons of God.

Blessed are they who observe the Testimonies, Divine Injunctions & Faith of Lord Christ De Messiah, for they shall secure their dwelling in The Blessed Lord CHRIST De MESSIAH'S Eternal Light.

Blessed are they who have wives as though they had none; for they shall be made Angels of God {1 Corinthians 7: 29}.

Blessed are they who, for the Love of The Lord Christ De Messiah, abandon the glories of the world; for they shall judge Angels & be placed @ The Right Hand Of The Lord Christ De Messiah. These shall not face the bitterness & misery of the last Divine Judgement.

Remain Blessed, Chaste, Steadfast, Faithful, Heavenly Conscious, Loyal, Loving & Forgiving, Vigilant & Rapturable In The LORD CHRIST De MESSIAH. 
Alleluia!! Amen. Hosanna In The Highest!

Blessed Sparkling Brethren @ ZION & Favoured Associates Of God's Kingdom: 

Compliments To U, Today! 

Alleluia!! Amen.

In our "Today's Scripture Quote" we are admonished & blessed with great & edifying Divine Message of glorious order & vitality. 

Alleluia!! Hosanna In The Highest!

Though, many believe the Holy Scriptures from Genesis to Revelation, yet they are not witnessing, or winning people to the Lord God. The Holy Bible says: "The Fruit Of The Righteous Is A Tree Of Life; And The Wise Winneth Souls" (Prov. 11: 30).

Most people are still enamored of the subtle, softening things of this materialistic 21st century but won't sacrifice for their Lord & Saviour, CHRIST De MESSIAH.

We are called to woo & win unregenerate friends, neighbours, relatives & business associates. But how many among the Believers in Holy Christianity & Revival Judaism (Yahwehists) today ever entertain any thought of Ministerial Visitation, Handling Out Tracts & Earnestly Seeking To Win Souls?

Of course, the very message of Proverbs 11: 30 @ best overwhelms my soul, gives me total spiritual restoration, renewal & revival as well as fresh dedication to personal evangelism.

A fruitful righteous man has a Heavenly Mandate, a Divine Authority behind him to minister as a Role Model to the people - his community & society @ large - in Word, in Conduct, in Love, in Faith & in all Purity (1 Tim. 4: 12).

In fact, the productive righteous man is a saintly man called to be a teacher of righteousness, an exemplary preacher or minister of God's Righteousness & Salvation. He is a practical example whose life speaks louder than words. He is, indeed, the kind of man God uses.

God is looking for exemplary teachers of righteousness, notably in this modern world of evil, adultery & idolatry. Certainly, our contemporary world earnestly needs dedicated sacred Ministers of righteousness, sanctified for the Lord's use in Service, to carry the Divine Waters of Salvation & Gospel Truths to famished souls of men wallowing in their ignorance, wickedness & sin @ large.

The Biblical Pastor Timothy was admonished by Apostle Paul to be an example of the faithful Children of God, not merely following the example of others - he must as well be an example of the Believers in The Blessed Lord, CHRIST De MESSIAH.

Though, the fruitful life of a righteous man may not always be appreciated by men, yet it is very valuable & divinely recognized in The Sight Of Almighty God, being a necessary example for others to adopt & religiously follow, to God's Glory. 

Alleluia!! Amen.

Obviously, it is the work of a sacred teacher to minister the Truth to the people of God. For the Word of God is to be unfolded, its perfections to be exhibited, its doctrines expounded & its difficulties carefully explained.

In days like this our modern world when all sorts of wrong-doing abound, professing to be derived from the Scriptures, when the foundations are being undermined, we need sound teachers of righteousness & moralists to turn erring men back to "The Holy Law & The Testimony"; & to show the people that, in the midst of the confusion of tongues, there is still a Voice that speaks with no uncertain sound. Of course, he is the teacher who must meet the assaults of the many evils which have fastened themselves upon the vitals of professing Christendom of this contemporary world. In fact, it is the teacher who leads men into the deep things of the Words of Salvation & Eternal Life; & by affording the spiritual food for nourishment unto the people of God serve to avert societal evils & leave no relish for wickedness & unrighteousness. 
                                                                   Alleluia!! Amen.

Certainly, The Lord Christ De Messiah never intended that His Followers or Christians should stop with the Gospel of Salvation & Eternal Life. But unfortunately many a Christian is prone to settle just there, leaving the wonderous Gospel Truths hidden in the mines of Scripture, while he remains a spiritual babe & paupers! God forbid!

The divinely commissioned sacred teacher of righteousness is sent to help avert that ugly & detestable situation amidst God's people; & to open the divine treasure-house & bring out of it the light of "things fresh & old", to God's Glory & by His Grace. Alleluia!! Amen. 

It is high time all the Children of God & His Kingdom Saints @ ZION began praying for teachers of righteousness, that they may be preserved by the Lord as blessed noble Vessels without blemish & sanctified unto the Lord for the Divine Service; that they keep the even spiritual balance of Gospel Truths & present but the "Whole Counsel Of God"; that the Knowledge & impartation of the treasures of God's Word of Life may never be with them a cold intellectual responsibility; instead, that their sacred Service may be as the sacred fountain which brings Divine Beauty, Blessedness, Prosperity & essential Fertility to its own banks while bearing fruits of Divine Refreshment, Peace, Illumination & Prosperity unto God's blessed Children, to His Glory by CHRIST De MESSIAH.

                                               Amen. Alleluia!! Hosanna In The Highest!

O Beloved Blessed Kingdom Saints @ ZION Of Holy Jerusalem: Remain Blessed & Lifted Up To God's Glory, By The Blessed Lord CHRIST De MESSIAH. 

Amen & Amen.

Welcome To The Latest Sacred Tutorial Offer @ ZION In Our Theological Romance Course: "PHILOSOPHICAL DIGEST @ ZION", With Exciting, Interesting, Thrilling & Profoundly Philosophical Discourse On: A Critical Quest To Prove God's Existence {3}.

Earlier, in the sacred Lecture {2} of this Course, we had a philosophically nourishing & impactful theological romance on the sacred tutorial work @ our "ZION-BIAFRAISM KINGDOM FAITH INTERNATIONAL Sacred Lecture Hall @ "The Heavens" (In The Air) via my sacred International Office in the Internet Website: http://www.zion-biafraism.blogspot.com / # 

Visit & Read.

Obviously, a careful & thorough perusal through the pages of that interesting & exciting academic exercise with philosophic insights blended with scientific cum theological expressions properly balanced with mathematical equations to lend enough significance to the proof that there is God up in the "Heaven Above", will, certainly, interest YOU, satisfy YOU, thrill YOU, arouse YOU, entertain YOU, challenge YOU, strike YOU, convince YOU & make YOU wonder...but never bore YOU! Alleluia!! Amen. Hosanna In The Highest!

O Blessed Sparkling Sacred Academic Wizards: Let Us Face The Pleasant, Tasking Divine Music Of The Day! Amen. Alleluia!!

A PHILOSOPHICAL APPROACH TO PROVE THERE IS GOD IN THE HEAVENS ABOVE: Ever since the development of Philosophy, the recognition of the mystery of the existence of God had hung heavy in the minds of Philosophers. Nevertheless, among the Christian Theologians it has had a better fate - Faith & Divine Revelation, in their view, are the solutions to the problem.

The genuine Philosophers were born with pronounced propensity for inquiry as to the why of things & acquired great skills in the shifting of axioms along tracks of REASON. They are prone to reject premises, which in their senses they cannot apprehend & scorn axioms derived therefrom as being not self-evident.

But because REASON is heavily dependent on premises & a beautiful, honest conclusion can be thoroughly falsified by erroneous premises (basic assumption) or lack of true premises, Philosophers often failed woefully when they speculate on spiritual things.

To this effect, therefore, many Philosophers have been wondering about the reality & nature of God. Does He really exist? If He does, what is His nature & what can we say about Him? Since we cannot deduce God's reality by inference such as the inference whereby we reach scientific & everyday conclusion, some Philosophers & Empiricists alike, eventually tend to wink @ any idea of God.

Nevertheless, the question "why is there anything @ all?" continues to form a thunderclap of conscience in an age when all men, women & children of humankind felt anxious of how they came into being. The pressure of the question is felt when we consider the impossibility of things just happening to be. Ah, how possible could that be?

The most thoughtful sets of people - the Philosophers & Scientists - tend to give a rational reply to the question but have not yet succeeded in giving an up-to-date solution to the problem.

According to St. Anselm, we define "God" as 'The Greatest Object Of Thought'. Now, if an object of thought does not exist, another exactly like it, which does exist, is greater. Therefore, The Greatest Of All Objects Of Thought MUST EXIST, since otherwise, still greater, would be possible. Therefore, GOD EXISTS! Alleluia!! Amen. Hosanna In The Highest!

In another philosophical work, Bradley's Principle suggests the PROBABILITY, POSSIBILITY & REALITY of God's Existence, hence, the "What May Be & Must Be, Is". Therefore, GOD EXISTS! Alleluia!! Amen.

Further, there is a COSMOLOGICAL ARGUMENT OF GOD'S EXISTENCE in the form of the FIRST-CAUSE ARGUMENT, derived from Aristotle's Argument of "THE UNMOVED MOVER". It states that everything finite has a " CAUSE", which in turn had a "CAUSE"; & so on. This series of previous "CAUSES" cannot, it is maintained, be Infnite, & the first term in the series must Itself be uncaused since otherwise it would not be in the first term. There is, therefore, an "UNCAUSED CAUSE" Of Everything - "We Do Not Know What It Is, but WE CALL IT GOD"! Therefore, GOD EXISTS! Alleluia!! Amen. Hosanna In The Highest!

Moreover, in Leibniz Philosophy, we observe a different view towards God's existence captioned "SUFFICIENT REASON". Leibniz argued that every particular thing in the world is "CONTINGENT", which means that it would be logically possible for it to exist, & this also, is applicable to the whole universe. Even if we suppose the universe to have always existed, there is nothing within the universe to show why it exists. Nevertheless, everything has to have a Sufficient Reason, which must be outside the universe. This "SUFFICIENT REASON" IS GOD! Therefore, GOD EXISTS! Alleluia!! Amen. Hosanna In The Highest!

Professor Lewis clearly stressed that no explanation or solution in the normal sense can convince us of God's existence. Moreover, young children & the philosophers alike realize that there must be an "UNDERLYING GROUND" for the existence of the world; & it must be a kind that no further ground or cause is possible or necessary for it - And THIS IS GOD! Therefore, GOD EXISTS! Alleluia!! Amen.

Of course, we could possibly escape any dilemma pertaining to God's existence by insisting that God is an "Ultimate Mystery" rather than a total mystery, since we do not use human language literally when we speak of the Ultimate. God is "The Ultimate Source Of All Things"; He is "The Ground Of Our Being".

Therefore, God Must Necessarily Be A Personality - Doubtless, "Personality" need not invove finitude.

Certainly, our intuitive knowledge of God's existence must be true, after all, NOTHING CAN ACTUALLY EXIST BY CHANCE. Yes! GOD EXISTS & WE KNOW IT! (Q.E.D.).

Blessed Believing Brethren {BBB} @ ZION & Favoured Associates Of God's Kingdom: If we actually take the foregoing as a logical "PHILOSOPHICAL PROOF" of God's existence, then, we shall, in the subsequent philosophical talk on the sacred theme, go in the more divinely convincing, absolutely interesting, essentially thrilling, philosophically exciting, radically all-absorbing, totally overwhelming cum spiritually edifying & nourishing "THEOLOGICAL DIMENSION" of the same essential sacred business, to God's Glory, by His Grace, if CHRIST De MESSIAH tarries in His RAPTURE of The Kingdom Saints @ ZION of Holy Jerusalem: Our Paradisal Home! Alleluia!! Amen. Hosanna In The Highest!

Blessed Kingdom Darling Friends @ ZION: Our "Today's Scripture Quote" is very significant, edifying, spiritually relevant & absolutely nourishing & I love it. 
Alleluia!! Amen.

No doubt, every sailor expects to reach a direction that is in keeping with his steering. A certain point of the compass may appear as nothing, but the farther you go according to it, the more definitely are you departing from the part you are bound for. True to the Word of God: "Dead flies cause the ointment of the apothecary to stint & ferment; so a little folly is weightier than wisdom & honour" (Ecclesiastes. 10: 1).

For the reason that it seems little @ the inception, one is induced to overlook it; & therefore the Holy Scripture calls deceiving of this kind, "Wiles".

In fact, the more the conscience is confined to the exclusive range of the Spirit of God, the less will it meet with support from the general company of Saints.

Nevertheless one simple question tests everything: "If I pursue this course where will it lead to?"

People, more often than not, ask: "What Is Sin? or "Why Do People Sin?" Studies in Contemporary Psychology attempts to explain away the Biblical Word, "SIN". Amazingly, it refers to unfortunate mistakes for which the injustices of human society are responsible. Conscience & responsibility are completely brushed aside by this school of thought. Isn't that foolishness of higher order? Our hearts answer with emphatic " YES"!

Evidently, the greatest SIN that was ever committed by first man on earth, Adam, & those of his descendants, including our contemporary world, wasn't a mere unfortunate MISTAKE that can be blamed upon the injustices of man's society. Certainly, it wasn't committed by ignorance; it was a deliberate act by religious & learned men on earth.

Similarly, the unfortunate condemnation & crucifixion of Christ De Messiah was, no doubt, a deliberate & purposeful act carried out by wicked, unrighteous & disobedient jealous Jewish Brethren, sequel to the careful negotiations of the carnally religious leaders. Man loves darkness rather than light.

Foolishness is not mere ignorance: it is willful ignorance, the blatant refusal to be faithful to God & obey Him. Unholy complaints, egotism & murmuring against the Truth lead to vain reasoning & deceitful conclusion about the Truth & rejection of the Truth; & unfortunately culminating in malicious hatred & finally lead to murderous opposition. A typical example of such ugly, unholy & treacherous acts are traceable to the religiously fanatic disposition of the ancient Jewish nation who became the murderers of The Blessed Saviour of mankind, Lord Jesus Christ De Messiah Yahshua, Who loved us in Peace, by His Grace.

 Alleluia!! Amen. Hosanna In The Highest!

It's thanks to Almighty God that all is not yet lost. There is still Hope; there are hitherto some men & daughters of ZION who have not as yet lost all feeling for that which is JUST & TRUE. 

Alleluia!! Amen. Hosanna In The Highest!

Blessed Be The Lord CHRIST De MESSIAH Who Is Glorious & Divine, A Light Over Those Who Were Made Blind By The Darkness Of Sin; The Most Merciful Son Of God, So Powerful & Glorious In Majesty.

So Bright As To Posses No Spot, & So Pure & Holy As To Have No Crime Or Sin; Who By His Death On Calvary Cross Seized The Prince Of Death & Captured All Powers Of Darkness, Depriving Them Of All Their Powers! 
Alleluia!! Amen & Amen.
