God Versus Nothingness by ogaemeka(m): 7:37am On Mar 06, 2021
GOD VERSUS NOTHINGNESS (John 1: 5)

If we dare to extract the implication that God's omniscience and omnipotence reduces the devil to an enforcer of His will, then we can absolve the messenger of blame for carrying out the functions assigned by the Master.

Looking at Isaiah chapter 45 verse 7, we can even go further to question if the devil really exists as a person, or as a metaphor of the Almighty's prerogative to be mischievous!

And what can you do about that?

You can learn that it is beneficial to ignore the worries and struggles of life and focus on the positives no matter how little. If you keep feeding your mind with the true perspective of positivity, you will find that the negative is a lie that is coated with false appearance of reality. I mean that adversities are tests that you will surely pass because your faith in Christ has entrusted your mind with God's coercive authority over darkness.

The opportunity cost of succumbing to the distraction of pessimism is the incalculable potential of what could have been for the human race in the glorious eternity of your illustrious vision, because no matter how long it takes, the vainglory of this material existence will eventually fade away. Ignorant minds are workshops of the devil in the sense that the collective magnetism of hollowness is a gravitational force of darkness dragging the human race to class oblivion.

The mind is never idle even when one is asleep, and the devil's tools are potentiated to the extent of the mind's susceptibility to subversion in any state of consciousness, therefore ignorance is an inexcusable indictment of not feeding the mind with truth. However, I trust that your acuity will continue to help you overcome calamity.

God is the creative inventor of all things, and your great imagination is the workshop of His manifestation!

One Person's Knowing does not absolves another's duty.

For Duty is Personal and Liability is Personal and All Personal Liability arises from that person's "guilty mind" called "Mens Rea"

The Law of Guilt and Absolution is
"Actus non facit reum, Nisi mens sit rea"

Translation: "A man's act is not guilty, UNLESS his mind is guilty"

And the Personal Knowledge of God has no connection to the duty and liability of Satan, for he had power choose either the good work or the evil one!

When men lack understanding, they speak from their emptiness.

Isaiah 45 is clearly about the Super-ity, Greatness and Authority of God and His Anger against All of His Creations in Failing to Do their Duty and in Doing their Duty Wrongfully!

I can only reply that God rendered His counsel through men, so it is not impossible that He is still doing that through me.

Apart from that, I will not bother to help your struggle with comprehension.

God versus Nothingness? Isaiah 45 tells you that God Himself created it all...Good and Evil(the Void/Nothingness) included... So how do you set God up against His creation(the void/ nothingness)?

And speaking of focusing on positives and ignoring the negatives, is that according to God or man? undecided

When it comes to learning, it is observed that humans learn deeper lessons through pain borne of the negative aspects of life, mind you. So if we are to ignore the negatives as you suggest, how do we in fact learn th valuable lessons of life? undecided

I did not mean to ignore the negative aspects of life per se, but the pessimism that it attempts to forster on one's mind. The point is trite, and is clearly implied in the follow up.

And, God did not create nothingness, but from nothingness.

But the persimissim( even depressed thoughts) that is fosters is indeed a part and parcel of the negative aspects of life, is it not - the pain which we learn from, is it not?

God did not create the nothingness? Isn't God the creator of ALL things? undecided

I understand, but I know for a Truth that God never considered or said

" ...the devil" is "an enforcer of His will..."

This is Not True!

No my bro, one can decide to look at the positive side of negative events, to remain optimistic.

Nothingness is the absence of something, a state of "uncreatedness". However, its infinite void offers the inexhaustible potential of what can be. It exists side by side with God, as an eternal relationship (or battle) between potential and realization.

2nd Corinthians 12: 7

Therefore, to keep me from being too elated, a thorn was given me in the flesh, a messenger of Satan to torment me, to keep me from being too elated.

And we are back where we started. Again, the deep lessons of life are learnt when dealing with the pain that results from living. Saying that one should instead decide to look at the positive side of the negative is akin to saying that one choose denial something that we also know does not help the learning process.

Nothing is the absence of something, a state of uncreatedness? Where did you get this idea from? undecided

Are you suggesting that the 'Nothingness' exists outside of God domain .i.e. Not under His Control? undecided

From your posture earlier you were resistant to correction!

But the shortest answer I can give is that

"Not Withstanding Any Previous Liability, All Creations Are Tightly Bound to carry out the Direct and Express Instructions of God, At any period of time as per their instructions!

Thus, the mere fact that The Lord gave instructions to Satan at specific times and places does not therefore absolve Satan of any prior liability neither does it crown on him the Defence of Agency and Superior Orders"!

The land was lawless even before I became a lawyer and what have I done to be attacked so?

Anyway, if you had a discerning spirit you would see that our spirits are different being male and female as our posts and threads prove.
