Of all the 45,000 so-called Christian religions or sects in the world, I am unaware of a single one that is legitimate. I am not only allowed, but rather mandated, to make that claim for a very simple, straightforward reason – not one of them knows the God of whom they speak. You may protest or at least ask why and how I am allowed to make such a claim – ‘everyone knows who God is’. Do they? I vouch to say just the opposite is true. Just put it to a simple test – ask a friend or two, or, better still, ask your priest or preacher who God is. The likely response will be a look of curiosity that I could be asking such a stupid question. Persist in your query and note the stammering and hesitant talk.
They will likely begin by telling you about all the things God has done or is doing. But just remind them that their explanation in no way tells you who God is. It simply describes some of God’s activities and actions. It fails miserably to defines God’s essence. And need I remind us that, minus an ‘essential definition, absolutely nothing has meaning’.
As helpful background information, it should be noted that throughout recorded history, mankind has recognized a higher power or powers than themselves and have ascribed certain names to their ‘gods and goddesses’. Each of those deities was recognized as controlling specific activities in our lives. Eventually, the Israelites came to recognize ‘one true God’ who was responsible for everything. Through the controlling, scheming character of Moses, their God had many human characteristics. For starters he was male and experienced human-like emotions – he could be pleased or displeased– he could be friendly and loving or he could be angry and vengeful. More importantly, through the cunning of Moses, he could be ‘bargained with’ – Moses had his Israelite subordinates convinced that he, and he alone, could talk directly with God and ‘make deals’ with him.
Of course, all those stories were written by Moses himself. So, we’ll never know their legitimacy. However, the fact is that the Jewish sacrificial religion and all Christian religions which followed stem from ‘the Moses effect’. Of course, when Jesus came along and began preaching a heretical understanding of God, Love, the Jewish hierarchy crucified him. What followed was a seemingly endless conglomerate of differing understanding of Jesus’ teachings which have been, and still are, being used to expand the number of Christian religions worldwide.
It should be noted here that the instigator(s) of those religious generally put themselves in positions of ‘power’. That power has been used to ‘control’ people through fear of eternal damnation, which makes it rather simple to extract their hard-earned money. Many are attempting to ‘build an empire’ through the process of missionary activities worldwide – the bigger the empire, the greater the control, and the richer their coffers.
The net result of all this so-called religious activity is perpetual turmoil with wars and festering hostilities erupting periodically all because of religion and ideology. There is a cause for all this discord and that cause goes right back to my original question, “who is God?”
Prior to 2016, when I published my thesis on this subject, Wilderness Cry, no one had ever defined the essence of God. Utilizing sound logical philosophy and known, provable science, I was able to define God’s essence with six simple words.
God is a perfect rational being.
This definition says it all in irrefutable terms – nothing can be added nor subtracted. This definition stems from my understanding of the following facts. Everything in this universe is composed of identical particles of energy. There are many different types of these particles but each of its kind has the same characteristics – none can change nor be changed, none can be marked or distinguished from its counterparts, each is perfect in form and function, and not one more nor less is in existence now than at the time of the ‘Big Bang’ 13.7-8 billion years ago. Collectively they represent a ‘perfect truth system’ outside of which there is no truth. Furthermore, they present a ‘perfect rationality’. Stated differently they present a perfect cause-effect system. That is to say that there never has been, nor ever will be, a cause which did not produce a perfect result). Likewise, there has never been an effect which was not produced by a perfect cause.
Have we not just described the essence of God, Perfect Rationality? Furthermore, have we not mandated a clear definition and understanding of Trinity God? Yes, yes, yes.
Rationality refers to a state of existence. In a living being it mandates an intellect and a will. The intellect perceives and the will achieves. God, with his perfect intellect reflects upon himself and sees a mirror image, identical and perfect – in the supernatural, that reflection, mirror image, is a living being, the Son. Two perfect beings viewing each other perpetually have no choice except to will, choose, love each other – the Holy Spirit or Will of God.
And, we have been told all our lives that the Trinity was not understandable to us mere mortals and that is certainly true if trying to understand a human-like God. However, a Perfect Rational God is perfectly comprehensible, not in our complete knowledge as he, but in our understand of his basic structure or nature (essence). In conclusion, I would urge you study this intently and try to understand it —you will have a total comprehension of the pitfalls of all religion.
God is real but not human-like as Moses would have us believe. He is Perfect Love which means he can reject no part of himself which each of us represents.
If you have not read Wilderness Cry, please do so. Then you will want to read Provocative Catholic which explores many, many of God’s attributes concluding with a definitive definition of Spirituality. Several years ago, I called for the Worldwide Communion of Spirituality of. It is the absolute only pathway to peace. I believe you will find my little book, Growing Up in Fancy Farm Kentucky to be informative and humorous – it has been republished with many photos from bygone days inserted.
