Do You Have Questions? (A Balance Between Conversation and Theology)

-


Hi, I'm Light.

I have a question for you: 

Do you have questions? 

Do you desire to find answers?

Do you believe in God? 

Okay, I know that was three questions instead of one, and I have good/bad news . . . I have more!

You may not have the answer to any of these preliminary questions right now, and that is okay.  It is okay not to have all the answers.  Whether or not you do, I have a suggestion for you in this post.  Keep reading, okay?  

Here are more questions you may or may not have answers for.  I don't have all the answers to all the questions either, so we'll reason together:

Is God really all-knowing?

“Even if we feel guilty, God is greater than our feelings,
and He knows everything.”
—1 John 3:20


Does God always tell the Truth?

“God is not man, that He should lie, or a son of man, that He should change His mind.
Has He said, and will He not do it? Or has He spoken, and will He not fulfill it?”
—Numbers 23:19


Is God the Truth?  

“Jesus told him, “I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life.
No one can come to the Father except through Me.”
—John 14:6


Is God also His Word?  

“In the beginning the Word already existed.
The Word was with God, and the Word was God.”
— John 1:1


(I figured this may be a bit confusing, so I made a summary of all the questions I just asked and their answers:)

QuestionsAnswersBible Verse
Is God really all-knowing? Yes.1 John 3:20
Does God always tell the Truth?Yes.Numbers 23:19
Is God the Truth?Yes.John 14:6
Is God also His Word, personified?Yes.John 1:1
Bonus: God's Word is Truth and knows everything, right?Absolutely!All of the above

So . . . 

God is all-knowing;
God always tells the Truth;
God is the Truth;
God is also His Word;
His Word is Truth; it knows everything. 

And, in e-qua-tion . . . 

Truth = God = God's Word
Truth = God's Word

(I duly apologize; I do not mean to take you back to high school Math and/or Chemistry, haha.  I reason and understand best using pictures and diagrams.)

Did you know the answers to these questions?  Did you notice that the Word of God, gave us answers for our questions?  It's so accessible!  How did you feel when the scriptures responded to your questions with answers, or confirmed what you already knew?  

Do you want to know what I learned from our conversation today?  You don't have to have all the answers, and the best way to get them is asking questions!  Here's my suggestion (finally):  If you ever find yourself desiring answers, write your questions, and take a five-minute or five-hour dive into the depth of Truth, God's all-knowing Word.  Tip: Asking Him in prayer also works.  After all, He knows everything, right?

“The People of Light” (I) | Light and Darkness

In this day and age, it is unlikely for one to be unaware of the suffering being experienced globally.  We all hear the Earth as she groans.  To preserve our sanity, many of us have covered our ears. Situated within suffering is a peculiar body of people whose hope appears inextinguishable.  Within the Earth grimacing at chaos rises a contrasting melodic sound.  With one voice, the people sing songs of joy and triumph, shifting the atmosphere.  Their words and hands share healing.  Their stories of enduring dark pasts inspire.  Even in dire heartache and grief, their recovery is sure.  Their peace remains unable to be permanently stolen.  Despite the steady decline of society’s circumstances, this people declares resolute, “It is well”.  If they have had and are having the same human experiences as the rest of the world, how do they live beyond the suffering? These people are called the People of Light, Children of the God of Israel.  Each carries a ’light’ within that is unexplainable

You Have to Start.

“Fear tries to convince you that you can’t do what you were born to do. It makes you want to run from the opportunity to break that cocoon and enter a new stage of responsibility, showing others whom you were really created to be.”  — Tanänia Reid      I know how it feels to be where you are; afraid of starting. I know that you are scared because, as I write the second sentence of this blog, I am. Regardless, I have to start. You have to start. We have to start making our dreams happen. Time is valuable, and our timidity is expensive. We have too much within us not to give our all, especially to those who need it. The Ultimate Catalyst      The fastest way to get a man to believe is to give him proof of what to believe in. I figure that it would be hard to believe in the wind if nothing ever swayed. Belief in the unseen is born from its physical representation. Therefore, it is impossible for others to believe in the gold within you if it is unseen, bottled up, and tucked away. If

Spiritual Warfare - An Introduction

Hi, I’m Light. Welcome to— Introduction  War:- “a state of armed conflict between different countries or different groups within a country.” (Oxford Languages) War is synonymous with warfare, and spiritual warfare adopts this definition. Spiritual warfare is an unseen reality of armed conflict in the realm of the spirit; one between the kingdom of darkness and the Kingdom of God.  “From the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffers violent assault, and violent men seize it by force [as a precious prize].” — Matthew 11:12 AMP Like all wars, spiritual warfare involves violent attacks, plunder, weaponry and casualties. Due to destinies, purposes, possessions and people’s lives being at stake, it is important for those within the Kingdom of God to be knowledgeable about and equipped, experienced and trained in spiritual warfare. Those of the Kingdom of God must have an awareness and be learned on how to engage and be victorious in spiritual warfare. Sadly, victory i
