Paradise on Earth

Post #1

Post by onewithhim »

When I learned that the Bible speaks of a restored Garden of Eden and the restoration of mankind to the perfection and endless life that Adam forfeited, I was thrilled. Who doesn't want to keep living on this beautiful earth, with our loved ones, and being able to do all the things we love to do---endlessly?

If God said to you today, "When do you want to die?" would you say "now!!"? I don't think very many people would say that.

We CAN live forever here on Earth. The Bible tells us that we can.

Matthew 5:5
Psalm 37:9-11,29

You are debating yourself:

God transcends creation so can't exist on earth but can exist in heaven.

Make that make sense.

I think God is omnipotent and can exist in his creation.
I think God is magnificently glorious and cannot live on a tiny speck of dust in the Milky Way which is one of billions of galaxies in the universe.

So you're placing restrictions on God.

Bad idea.

He places restrictions on Himself. He cannot be reduced to a small speck of dust on a small speck of dust. He also cannot die. It is a bad idea for you to scoff at that and other things that God wants us to know.

God is a spirit:

John 4:24
God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.


How small is a spirit?

How much does a spirit weigh?

Which weighs more -- a spirit or a small speck of dust?

Which is larger -- a spirit or a small piece of dust?

Are you an expert in regards to spiritual bodied beings?

<======================>

Why would God want us to know that "He cannot be reduced to a small speck of dust on a small speck of dust"?

Because if we think that He can, we are diminishing Him. He wants us to know that He surpasses all things in His majesty, even the edges of the universe. This helps us to know Him and what He can do for our benefit.

When you claim that God cannot do something you are diminishing Him, unless it is something which is stated in the Bible.

It is stated in the Bible that He cannot do something---He cannot be confined to this earth. IKings: 8:27

It doesn't have to be stated in the Bible that God cannot die. It is purely common sense. If He is the Source of life, then if He died all life would cease. Speaking of God: "For with you is the source of life. By light from you we can see light." Psalm 36:9

Yes, at that time, everyone who believed in Jesus as their Savior will be born again of the Spirit as an immortal spiritual bodied being equal unto the angels and rule the earth forever with their Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

And who will these millions of persons in heaven rule over?
