“God is the author of the cosmos, not a character within it. Since he created space-time, it is pointless to try to find him in the heavens. Could one find Handel himself by searching through the words of his Messiah?” ~Dr. Kenneth Boa (scientist and theologian)
And yet he is here with us.
Thank you, Mitch,
Before reading your whole post, reading just the question, I said to myself, He is here now.

I am amazed at how personal God’s presence is. Multiply that by the 7.7 billion plus people currently living on this planet!
The US and World population clock website estimates that there is a birth every 8 seconds, and a death every 10 seconds. And I believe that God is there for every one! Wow!!

And without breaking a sweat. ;>) It’s hard for us to keep from thinking of God as a sort of superpowered human being, isn’t it?

God is everywhere. He is like a glimmering “shadow” that surrounds us and is in us. Our breath is the breath of God which he personally gave our first father, Adam. He .knows all about us. In Star Trek’s “Metamorphasis” this concept was the main part of the plot.

I don’t know, Rudy. I’m not interested in numbers the way you are, I’m interested in what it says.

Psalm 65:2 is either a mighty promise or a warning shot across the bow, depending on our relationship with Jesus. ;^)

The Bible and the New Testament re great depending on your point on view. But Brian Murasesku in his recent book, The Immortality Key, states you don’t have to look for God, you just have to find him. He is already within us. It’s up to you.

Ah, found him. Murarescu. Apparently he puts forth the idea that psychedelic drugs were the key to ancient spiritual practicess, including communion in the early Church?

The image and scripture passage pair so well with the quote making a great exclamation point.

The eternal nature of God should humble us all. It differentiates Him, the Creator, from us, mortal creatures. Thank you for sharing this quote by Dr. Kenneth Boa. Have a blessed day!
