Quote from jem:
When you can tell us what existed before the big bang - you can then tell me whether the universe has a Creator. Till then know you are basically no more rational than those you insult.
Well nothing has really existed since the big bang except the sequencing of a hypothetical story-line thought up before the big hypothetical bang. The big bang symbolizes an explosion of magnitude big enough to destroy the Kingdom of God, and set up another kingdom in its place. Planets, full of molten whatever, symbolize cooling shrapnel, spinning wildly about darkness but for the light of a white-hot gaseous ball of fire which will eventually explode before it dies, destroying the race of man on earth. This scenario plays out all around this universe except where the race races to another planet of cooling magma somewhere else in their galaxy. Saved by technology, every body is doomed to die anyway. And nothing lives but that something else must die.
Now tell me, what kind of "Creator" creates this? This is totally sci-fi, and what makes it must be insane. Before the insanity, however, there was, is and always will be the Kindgom of God...otherwise known as Heaven. It is within "you". It's opposite is also within "you". This means you do not know who "you" are. You are the sane Son of God, multi-tasking, playing with opposites using tools like denial, rash judgment, repression and faith. This universe proceeds entirely on faith, made to seem real by the wickedly powerful mind of the Son. So powerful is this mind, it made the pseudo-mind that makes this world on a whim. This pseudo-mind is rather a
thinking machine, a tasmanian devil, which makes by separating. As the Son lends this mind power through belief, it sets this world spinning wildly out of control, lifting "order" out of chaos...a veritable cosmic juggling act not more real than the Cat In The Hat. Man appreciates the psuedo-mind that makes it, but it is not the "Creator". Made in the image of it's maker, man - the idea of mind fenced in by limits - is an engine of destruction in the mind of the Son. This world is not a creation, it is a
making. It makes the Kingdom of God conform to an insane wish to turn it upside down, make a mockery of it, and cause what is blasphemous to be worshipped.
Can the Son really do this? Do not underestimate the unlimited capacity of the Son. What is make-believe to him is frighteningly "real" to the self-decieved. It's going to take a miracle to dismantle what seems to be real. Miracles do nothing because ultimately, nothing has happened at all. This is a complete farce from beginning to end. Miracles prove it.
Indeed, Heaven is not a place. It is everywhere and everything that is real. It is Reality. It is Christ. It is...drumroll please...YOU!
That's good news, right?
