I have noticed that many assume that God -or the divine -or the soul, etc., are mysterious to the point of not being able to be understood -as if being able to describe them would make them less holy or divine.

Not only is that an impossibility, but it misses the point of the purpose for our existence.

Christ is called in scripture "the firstborn of many brethren". It is written that we will see him as he is -and be like him.
God said "Ye are gods".
It is also written that the entire creation will be liberated from its bondage to decay by the children of God -and that we will be given immortal bodies with extreme creative power (like unto his glorious body).

All of that requires that we increase in understanding of the nature of all things.

Finally... "It is the glory of God to conceal a matter, and the glory of kings to search out a matter"

Anything that exists is inherently knowable. God is far beyond our present capability to know and understand certain things -but those things are still inherently knowable.

Hi. i enjoyed what you wrote. I would like to respectfully state that there is a REASON and a GOOD one.... why he states that he "opens the eyes of the blind".

Oh Ye of little faith, you really have many things wrong. What religion are you, really? I mean, you ACTUALLY believe that God said that we shall be gods? Dude, it was a figure of speech. We shall be like him, meaning that if we accept Him as our Lord, into our lives, and repent our sins, then we will become Christ like-meaning, we will do what is right, follow the ten commandments, make disciples of men, ect: The Bible, nowhere did it say, that we will be gods.

The Father will always be "The most high God" -and the Word who became Christ will always be our God with the Father -but we will be made much more than human.

John 10:34Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your law, I said, Ye are gods? 35If he called them gods, unto whom the word of God came, and the scripture cannot be broken; 36Say ye of him, whom the Father hath sanctified, and sent into the world, Thou blasphemest; because I said, I am the Son of God?

Phil 3:21Who shall change our vile body, that it may be fashioned like unto his glorious body, according to the working whereby he is able even to subdue all things unto himself.

more later

Meanwhile..... people think about living forever, but have you ever wondered what you would DO forever?

Isaiah 45:18 For thus saith the LORD that created the heavens; God himself that formed the earth and made it; he hath established it, he created it not in vain, he formed it to be inhabited: I am the LORD; and there is none else.

Rom 8:18 I consider that our present sufferings are not worth comparing with the glory that will be revealed in us. 19For the creation waits in eager expectation for the children of God to be revealed. 20For the creation was subjected to frustration, not by its own choice, but by the will of the one who subjected it, in hope 21that h the creation itself will be liberated from its bondage to decay and brought into the freedom and glory of the children of God.

That means the entire universe! We will order it and create throughout it.
The meek shall inherit the Earth first -then subdue the rest unto themselves under the government of God and Christ by employing those new powerful bodies! (Similar to the glorious body Moses saw the back parts of -and in which Christ will return -though not bound to that particular form -and which allowed the Word to create all things in the first place) The only way we can have access to the entire universe is to have bodies which are not bound to this Earth!


John 3:7Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again. 8The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit.


(The scripture Christ referenced was Psalm 82:6 "I have said, Ye are gods; and all of you are children of the most High")
