God's Perfection

What is Perfectiion ? - a state of completeness and flawlessness.


The scriptures tell us that God is perfect:


Matthew 5:48
Be you perfect as also your heavenly Father is perfect"



Perfection entails the lack of needs or wants. Being perfect, God does not now nor ever has nor ever will have any needs or wants. Deliberate creation, on the other hand, entails an effort to satisfy some need or want. Yet the scriptures tell us that God created:


Genesis 1
In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.



Being a creator requires that God at one time had some need or want to create.

However, it is impossible to have some need or want and also be in a perfect state without need and wants.

Now we can look at everthing that exist and say, it is here and it must have had a starting point because it would appear to us as though it has not always been here. This leaves us with a dilema!!


God is either not perfect or has not created anything. If God is not perfect in his attributes, all knowing, all powerful, and in all places at once; then he is not God. If God is perfect, then God can’t have any needs or wants; hence, God wouldn’t bother creating something. If God deliberately creates something, it must be because of some need or want — even if it is as simple as curiosity.


I openly state that God is real and so must fullfill all of the requirements of the afore mentioned attributes. Since I believe in God, I am saying that I believe in a perfect God. That means a God who is in a state of perfection without wants or needs. Let's see if we can find out how this can be so and how it relates to what we call all of creation.


There is only one thing that can be done in a state of perfection and that is to experience the state of perfection (God is the experience of perfection.)


Malachi 3:6 "For I am the Lord, I do not change."


But an experience can not be known (God is all knowing) if you can not define what that experience is. In order to define any experience you must put thought to it.



What I propose is that God is perfect and what we call the creation has always existed, just as it is now. I suggest that God is having a conscious eternal thought about what he himelf is, perfection. Now how long does it take to have a thought? What are you thinking of now and when did you start thinking it? How much information is required for you to think the thought that you are thinking now?


I suggest that the thought God is having is what gives God an awareness and experience of himself as the perfected being in the perfected state and as we look at what kind of thought this must be we find that it is a dual nature thought that brings about the conseguence of the so called creation (two sides of the same coin).


The perfect and eternal thought "I am that I am " .


This is very important because God has no begining.


Psalm 90

1 Lord, thou hast been our dwelling place in all generations.

2 Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever thou hadst formed the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting, thou art God.



To know what you are (God is all knowing) you must know what you are not and without having anything to compare himself to, the one true being (God) compares himself to everything that has the potential (God is all powerful) to be, manifested in thought.


Now to know what a thing is you must experience the thing. So what we have is the one thing (God) thinking of all the things that could potentially exist and what those things are from their beginning until their end, in order to reason that he is not those individual things because all of those things are only potential things (imagined) and are not true, they are a reflection. God himself is the only true thing.


This is where our lives come into play


You see, everything in existence is a so called "illusion" but the illusion must make logical sense because it is God who is considering what these things must be like and God is a God of order.


1 Corinthians 14

30 If any thing be revealed to another that sitteth by, let the first hold his peace.

31 For ye may all prophesy one by one, that all may learn, and all may be comforted.

32 And the spirits of the prophets are subject to the prophets.

33 For God is not the author of confusion, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints.


If we pay attention we can see this logical process throughout all of the natural world.


Take an apple for instance.



We do not just get the apple manifested in it's ripened form. It goes from a seed that is germinated, then grows into an apple tree, who's branches bare fruit, and which that fruit must ripen before you have the mature and delicious apple. The apple can not come into existence without the entire process of it's natural and logical growth. That makes sense and so it is with all of nature.


That same process happens with higher forms of life like humans.


God manfests your life (God is all powerful) inside of his eternal thought but your life must follow an order of logic and process. From birth to growth until whatever the outcome may be.


Acts 17:

24 God that made the world and all things therein, seeing that he is Lord of heaven and earth, dwelleth not in temples made with hands;

25 Neither is worshipped with men's hands, as though he needed any thing, seeing he giveth to all life, and breath, and all things;

26 And hath made of one blood all nations of men for to dwell on all the face of the earth, and hath determined the times before appointed, and the bounds of their habitation


In the span of your life, the purpose that you serve is much different than that of an apple. Because you have the ability to look at the rest of what we call creation and experience and define it. You are the tool by which God experiences in his thought what the apple taste like, if you will. So it is through your life and mine that God experiences all of the things that could be and in a real sense all that is, when all conscious experiences are summed up (because that sum is equal to the one thought that of the experience of perfection).


1 Corinthians 10:31

31 Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God.



Now I'll tell you why it is through you that this is done.


To have a thought you must have a language to think the thought in and we use words as our means of language. Words by definition are:



A unit of language, consisting of one or more spoken sounds or their written representation, that functions as a principal carrier of meaning. (Try and think without using words and you'll see what I mean.)


So where is the logic in God, the one being having a language if there is no meaning to be carried ?



There must be a process that explains the existence of a language and so just like the apple seed, the seed of the word comes into existence in a logical and reasoned order from the beginning of the simplest life to the growth and understanding of what ever the language that God's perfect thought is communicated in. And how is this done?



John 1


1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

2 The same was in the beginning with God.

3 All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.

4 In him was life; and the life was the light of men.


What did it say? The word!!

The word of God is what gives definition to the thought. It brings life to the thought and it is the light of men because in the word does man find understanding of his existence and the tool by which he relates to everything else.


(Time is an illusion that we are subjected to in order to make sense of our experience. The past exist as a memory that can only be remembered in the present and the future is only a hoped for anticipation of what may come but never does. It is always now.)

Our lives are a part of that process and our conscious experiences in our existence lead us to the perfect thought of God in which we may join with him in realizing that perfection (the kingdom of heaven). The scriptures are the guide to that understanding and are a part of our growth that can allow us to reach perfection in God which is our true purpose.



Luke 17:20-21

20 And when he was demanded of the Pharisees, when the kingdom of God should come, he answered them and said, The kingdom of God cometh not with observation:

21 Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you.


Perfection entails the lack of needs or wants. And God does not need or want because God is complete.


All things in Creation have a dual nature. The Universe is composed of opposing forces, positive and negative, and this is the significance of the "light" and the "darkness". As up defines down, left defines right and together are a system of direction; so to is the creator (the word) and the creation (the experience) together the state in which God exists(God is all places at once); completed balance.


Perfection.


Romans 11:25-36

25 For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in.

26 And so all Israel shall be saved: as it is written, There shall come out of Sion the Deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob:

27 For this is my covenant unto them, when I shall take away their sins.
