How Do We Know When God Is Among Us?
In the last two blogs, I discussed signs and symbols and their use. Here, I continue this discussion by showing that we can determine whether God is among us. We can make such a determination only because we can distinguish symbols from signs. Christians say that God appeared among us as Jesus Christ more than 2000 years ago. Since I conclude that the teachings of Jesus are divine, I argue that these teachings are of God. Further, Christians expect a second coming of Jesus Christ based on the verses found in Matthew, Ch. 24. This expectation would be fulfilled when the sun darkens and the world dies; when people are judged by God; and when people are sentenced either into Heaven or Hell. Since the ancients did not distinguish symbols from signs, I argue that this chapter of Matthew has been misinterpreted, propagated to us moderns and is misleading us.
One cannot expect God to appear in our world as a human and viewed as a pure human. This view would reduce God to an ordinary human being. If God appears in our world, He must be both God and human. To reject this duality would transform a theist or panentheist into a deist. If you accept this duality, you must also accept the eternal partnership of a monotheistic God Hi creation and recognize the need for eternal appearances of God to our world to teach us His wisdom. I mention the eternal appearances of God because godly people cannot allow their minds to become divided. All beliefs related to God must be consistent. And, this is why our symbols must be also consistent
Our physicists found hundreds of laws of physics using only six fundamental symbols: electrical charge, temperature, mass, length, time, and angle. In the teachings of God, we must also find a small number of fundamental symbols that express hundreds of laws of God
In Part IIb of The First Scientific Proof of God, Lloyd Graham lists sixteen Godlike persons. All of them were crucified. I believe that Jesus Christ was crucified because His new and turbulent teachings are divine and were not understood by the religious leaders of His time. To detect God’s appearances, the repeated use of fundamental symbols should be found in the teaching of God. The teaching should be consistent and be new and turbulent. One sign of consistency is God’s prolific use of metaphors and their alignment to kinds of audiences. In Matthew, Ch. 24, Jesus asks us to learn these symbols. There, He says, ‘Watch, therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come.‘
