You only live once

[NeverL0ved]

Everything that exists in the universe has a decay rate. Entropy is present in all matter & energy, and not even the light itself can escape being destroyed.
It was entropy that created me, being utterly dead as I was formed in my mother's body of decay.

Therefore I submit to the horrifying fact, that the creator is death.

Oh my. No offense, but your theology leaves little to be desired. Decay is a feature of the created order. But, we have been promised a release from our being subject to decay.

The better option is to be grateful for all the gifts you are offered. Life for example. Do this every day, for success reasons.

Oh? I thought decay was caused by the fall of Adam & Eve. Interesting how you argue on the premise of the human belief that a promise will save you.

Yum yum yum yum yum.

It wasn't so much an argument as a suggestion towards a better theology. Consider basing your theology on the God who raises the dead and calls into existence that which did not exist (Romans 4:17). That would be a much better starting place than decay. Or, you know, don't.

Yes, you were born dead and dying. Which is why Jesus showed us the way to life.

"And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. Believest thou this?"

The creator is not part of the universe. He exists eternally separate from, but intimately involved with it.

The creator is life - without Him nothing would exist.

But that's not true, everything does ultimately die. Believing in some wonderful afterlife (Or afterdeath) isn't something you actually know, because you've never seen such a place.

That doesn't make any sense. God's there, and not there at the same time?

If this is life as people call it, why should it die?

If God made everything perfect in the beginning, how could it ever be made imperfect?

There are different realms of existence, logic is the wrong tool to understand this. Read the bible with an open mind and payer - maybe you will be given understanding.

How many realms of existences are there Carl?

 

[Carl Emerson]

Well it is clear that He dwells in timeless eternity with other eternal entities like those who belong to the order of Melchizedek, the 24 elders perpetually bowing before the throne etc.

Then there is the chronological created order which includes the physical 'heavens' and the fallen spiritual realm where the created angels dwell.

As I don't add to scripture I will leave it at that, but we read of multiple heavens according to Paul's experience.

Yes, and it's these types of unprovable concepts that kicked off the insanity of Joseph Smith (Founder of the LDS church)

There's no reason to think God made everything perfect from the beginning.

So how did he make the universe?

 

[Carl Emerson]

Yes, and it's these types of unprovable concepts that kicked off the insanity of Joseph Smith (Founder of the LDS church)

Well you will have to conclude then that Jesus was insane because He confirmed scripture as the go to source for truth.

You know God. God does as God pleases. It pleases God to create, so God created.

So prior to the fall you could get whole eggs back out of an omelette?
