So it's said that the Big Bang could not have happened without the divine intervention of the Christian God. This is primarily because the universe allegedly could not be created from 'nothing'.
some questions:
Who created God in the beginning?
Why did God create the universe and make it so cosmically large and uninhabitable? And for what purpose were humans actually put on this Earth in the beginning?
Hi, thanks for your questions.
On most I can't think offhand of particular scripture which speaks to why God put us on earth. There may be scripture on that or may not be.
And when I think of the universe or all there is, it's infinite. There can be no end in my understanding.
God is known as Father, Jesus (Son), Holy Spirit
There is One God. Commonly said in 3 persons. Also commonly known as the Trinity.
God was not created but always existed, always was, and always will be.
Jesus left the glory of heaven to be born of a virgin, and and grew, learned, taught, healed, forgave, peformed miracles, did much more, and chose those who would start the church, and as preached people become part of the church, which is called the body (all believers), the bride of Christ.
All of us have done wrong (sinned), and due to sin, which at creation in the beginning while Adam and Eve walked with God, when they sinned, there was a death, a death in the relationship between God and them, and spiritual death, known as being blind or in darkness in this world, and dead, prior to being reconciled to God, and bodily death, though they did not phyically die when they sinned. More occurred do to the sin of Adam and Eve.
So we are separated from God, we are sinners, we do wrong, and also going on is there is a fallen angel satan who sinned long ago, and are slaves to sin (we serve sin, again unawares most to all times) and is called the ruler of this world, and it is said we are slaves to satan (unawares of course) and that satan is a liar, deciever and murderer.
satan seeks to destroy and to keep people from God.
After Jesus did the many things some listed above, He willingly died on the cross, his blood shed for us, and in doing such, he payed for the sins of the world, for all. He didn't stay in the grave, He was resurrected, He arose from the grave, and so we too know, we wil be resurrected.
As we are all in the state mentioned above, we learn in the bible that to be reconciled to God, to be forgiven our sins, to be free from slavery to sin, from slavery to satan that we can do so by having faith in Jesus that he died for our sins and was resurrected. Trusting him with our lives, committing our lives to Christ.
Much occurs to us when we do come to Christ through faith. We are no longer spiritually dead, we are alive, we are born again, we are a new creation, the Holy Spirit (God) indwells us, there is much much more which occurs as we give our lives to God.
While we then have been forgiven all our sin, we do still sin as Christians as no one is sinless but God, and Jesus being God was sinless.
But we now have God in us and helping us and we have the bible to change our minds as we grow and learn and we follow Christ, doing as He did, and again, not perfectly, but we strive to do as we are commanded.
We know, as we are told we will face many struggles and suffer in this world (which non believers also do), but Christians will struggle and suffer as followers of Christ, and we face each challenge and now God being with us, in us, we are able to face each day and the bible gives us much help, and we are here to glorify God, to lead others to Jesus, and to live a life for Christ, dying to ourselves, and putting on Jesus, walking as He did, the way He dealt and lived through things when He walked the earth.
It is an awesome thing to know the Lord, or rather be known by God. We are honored to serve God and be used by God.
well much more.
just thought I'd share some things as wasn't able to answer your other questions right now.. and above is just a small portion about Jesus and some of what occurs with us.
blessings,
tapero
