Life’s Great Question – Why
Feb 6th, 2012 by Russ

Who Does God Reveal Himself Too?

The great question “Why” has forever been upon the lips of man as he ponders his own existence. Those few who have been able to answer this question were quietly passed by, unheeded, in the struggle for survival. The whys of the world is why we seek answers. Why is easy, God experiences Himself through His creation. He reveals himself to himself by experiencing himself. Sound, far fetched? Think about it. Who is God revealing himself to? Why would he have to reveal himself to anyone or anything? God is self contained, self motivated, in need of nothing, continually creating, and formulates all the rules. He doesn’t need to impress anyone, has no spouse or enemies – woe you say, what about Satan? Ha, nothing exist outside God, so God created Satan to complete his own experience. The fact is, good can’t exist without bad, there would be no reference point – one has to exist for the other to exist.

What Is The Meaning Of Life?

Why brings the question of What. What is the meaning of life in the first place? Why create life extending into the future without purpose? Scholars, Professors, Theologians, great Religious leaders, have pondered this question from the dawn of time yet, no one can agree on its true meaning. Man is the catalyst, the go between, the deciding factor. Man decides, and creates an effect while God experiences the result.

Man struggles along the path of life with a heavy heart and bleeding feet only to find in the end the grave awaits. He harbors resentment, a sense of incompetence which besets his every avenue; and in his blind groping he lifts his hands in speechless anguish, and his weary cries stir the air with supplications to an apparently unheeding God. Where art thou oh Lord? Why do you forsake me in my hour of testing? And man shakes his fist at a God he no longer understands, because he is no longer willing to surrender. Man has become disconnected, disengaged in God’s creation. His greatest achievement gone astray, turned inward, crippled in his own self calamity.

.

Why Do People Have To Suffer?

Why the suffering, the sorrow, the sin, the sickness and a lifetime of trouble, only to be met at last by the grim and sinister tomb? Why are people destitute, troubled and unforgiving? Who can comfort in the loss of a child or see solace in the eyes of a dieing mother. Why do people inflict pain on each other for personal gain? And the tomb awaits, silent, cold, steadfast for man’s last performance.

Why, why, why? Man seeks wisdom only to discover foolishness; he seeks the learned only to find a lack of wisdom. Why, why, why? His cry has appeared to go forth into an empty void.

A Cry From The Soul

But wait! from somewhere within, a whisper of an answer comes, some subtle inner sense of things; some unknown presence has surfaced to give an answer as a still small voice speaks, “Man, know thyself.” And the inner man, gently prompts and prods as man goes wandering along in his own self indulgence. God has not turned away from man, it is man who has turned away from God. And God silently grieves for the finest in his creation.

Is The Natural Man Lost?

The Instinctive (natural) Man has again spoken and told this lost creature to search more deeply into his own nature; the soul; to look deep within himself for the answer to life. Enter the closet and seek God’s answers for the hour has come in the progress of man when he can understand this voice and do its bidding. And if you are right with God, the answers will come, although at times, they will not be the ones you sought.

Mat 6:6 But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly.

We no longer have to cry in torment, we Know. We no longer need to ask if there is a God, or if we dare to speak to Him; we do not analyze, dissect, affirm, or deny, We know. We trust in God because first we “Know in whom we have believed.” The sooner the one who is seeking realizes that truth must be revealed through his own soul, and not that of another, the sooner he will attain solace.

Is It Right To Prosper?

Health, happiness and Success belongs to the children of God because they are the heirs of God’s promise. If His created creature has indeed become His adopted children then they have dominion over the creation through His promise. It is mankind who has dominion over the earth and everything in it, not Satan.

For sin shall not have dominion of dominance over you: for you enact the law through his grace.

What about life, how do you, as a God fearing person overcome worldly temptations? How do you fit in with non-believing family members, co-workers, friends, and the rest of the world? First off, let’s look at the makeup of man and the areas he must master to be a true Achiever.

“He who makes himself a sheep will be eaten by the wolves”

In the next article we will delve deeper into the mysteries of life as they impact the makeup of a believer. We will take one more step into the uncovering of the human spirit/soul connection and its importance as a broader, deepening of understanding within a material/spirit world.

Do you ever sit back and really think how great life is?

Extremely cheesey, and everyone has their bad days, but sometimes I just sit there and think,

“Wow, my life is amazing.. I’m enaged, I’ve got great school marks, I get along with everyone and I have a good family. I really love my life.”

Sometimes I just feel so happy about my life. :D

Do you ever think like I do? Or do you find that strange?

Answer
sometimes.. lol

What movies are there about people who don’t believe in God but have a great life?

I already know of Celestine Prophecy, You Can Heal Your Life, The Secret, What the Bleep and maybe more. I just mean they don’t put God in it but it can be our own power or a higher power within. Thank you. Oh, I know about Bill Maher’s movie. Oh, Eat, Pray, Love. so they can be spiritual just not the religious kind of a church leader BSing people for their money or saying things that make no sense.

Answer
We only need to look at our history and look in the mirror to realize that all the “our own power or a higher power within” is the true bs. People just don’t want to be held accountable to anyone else. People do not want to be told when they are doing wrong. God is a gentleman, so you can make up all the self-glorifying religions you want, but ultimately every knee will bow and every tongue will confess that Jesus Christ is Lord.

If you had a great life, is it hard when you start to feel your mortality?

Oh, and just for the record, I’m not speaking of myself.

Because I’ve never had a great life, and unfortunately I will have to carry on my misery for a long time…

But yesterday, I remembered of a lady who was for sure one of the greatest people I’ve known, and who I think had a very rewarding life.

I think she might now be around 80.

I suppose the drawback of having a great life is that it might be painful when you feel you will soon lose it.

Answer
I would actually disagree… I would imagine having such a great life would make you more peaceful towards death as you can be happy with what you’ve done/had and wouldn’t feel like you’ve wasted it, while a bad, unfulfilled life might lead to a sense of perhaps wanting to re-live it in a better way

I feel young and great life is wonderful raising my kids is great but, I do feel tired from my diabetes?

how do you not feel so tired any pointers for me? I am 43 years old.

Answer
I was thrilled to see your question for a couple of reasons. Number one it was so refreshing to see a mom say that life is great raising my kids and that you feel young! Hooray! That is just so wonderful. Having had 5 children and now 13 grandchildren, I know exactly what you mean.

The number two reason I was excited about seeing your question was that I know that I can change your life! HUH? Seriously. I am going to assume you have type 2 diabetes but this works for type one as well.

My husband suffered from type 2 diabetes for over 20 years. In 2002 he was always tired, irritable, and very over weight – 80 pounds! He was on 43 units of insulin and had neuropathy in his feet so severe that he could not walk 75 feet without needing to sit down because of the pain. I told my kids that in 6 months I would be pushing dad around in a wheel chair and I meant it. He was always, always very tired. He went from a guy who loved to work around the house especially on Saturdays to a guy who’s only exercise was his thumb on the TV remote control. He was angry and so irritable all the time.

I read a book that I highly recommend “Diabetes Solution” by Richard Bernstein, M.D. This book changed our lives.

We both went on low carb diets. Within 3 months my husband came off of insulin completely and has never gone back. He lost 80 pounds within 9 months. He came off the pain medication for his neuropathy (neurontin) within 2 years. His neuropathy has been so minor for the past 6 years that it is nearly undetectable. I know it doesn’t bother him at all any more. He’s been in 2 5K races (walking of course) and finished. Best part is that in what seemed like only 2 or 3 weeks, his energy levels went through the roof. From late 2002 continuing today, this man doesn’t sit down. His energy levels are fantastic. He loves life again. The irritability and angry disposition seemed to disappear within a week of changing our lifestyle.

We went on low carb diets. It changed our lives. Dr. B’s book set me on the path of research and discovery and what I found changed not only our lives but the lives of everyone we’ve touched. We now conduct classes on diabetes and what we did to beat diabetes. The results are astonishing and it is so rewarding to see people‘s lives improve dramatically.

I have no affiliation with Dr. B. except that I love that man — never met him. He is a practicing physician in Mamaroneck, New York.

Your children are very fortunate to have such a great mom! Get healthy and you’ll enjoy those precious children even more!

Good luck and may God bless you.

Do you realize how great life really is?

Because i see alot of people on here that complain about the little things in life…. i recently saw a website that had suicide notes posted on it (maybe real, maybe fake) either way, the problems that people seem to get wrapped up in are so trivial when you look at the bigger picture.

I do the same thing… i let the little things bother me… though i try not…. Maybe i should rephrase this question in the sociology section.
(to the suicide notes)

True i dont know them… or what they went through.

But, they had a chance to live there lives fully… some people dont even get that chance… some people live lives longer and in worse condition….
My curiosity to see what happens in the future keeps me goin…. theres gotta be good ways to cope with mental stress…. i mean.. ive had my fair share (trust me, more than i care to share) and i think ive delt with it all pretty dang well…

Answer
i think life was given to us for a reason, life is great but with it comes great responsibility and if we want to throw it a way that is our fault not anyone elses.
