Transcendent Bible

Posted on Mar 9th, 2009 by Daniel: Devotee and Mystic : Eternal Dynamism Daniel: Devotee and Mystic
Everything created needs a cause. This is the scientic way. All this phenominal reality here is bound by cause and effect. The question for you is how did it all start? The big bang materials cannot have caused themselves. Why can you not theorise where they came from?

We need an original cause, and we can’t have something coming from nothing. These things are obvious, to me at least. The Bible actually claims that we were “brought forth”, or made from existing materials. This creation must have arisen from something that exists, but isn’t possesed of the same qualities, and there must have been a reason for it, and this reason, or cause, needs to be able to design things of incredible complexity.

So this creation has as its original substance, this higher reality. Mysticism makes just this claim. The claim is that we are really composed of something higher, and we can connect with it, because we are of it. This satisfies my logical inquiry perfectly. And as to a designer, scripture details thousands of years of interraction with God. A problem that exists though, is that there are many mystics who fall prey to illogical thinking and assume that there is no personal God. They have the same problem as you. In the end, they cannot answer how and why they exist.

As my name implies, I am both a believer in God as a personal entity, and a believer in God as an omnipresent impersonal God as well. My position satisfies all the logic that must be satisfied.

"Ever since the creation of the world his invisible, namely, His eternal power and deity, has been clearly perceived in the things that have been made. So they are without excuse..."

Romans 1:20
