Everyone believes in God, and I will prove it. Even “the demons believe and tremble” (James 2:19). satan also believes. Lucifer, the “son of the morning angel” has been quoted as saying “I will rise up” (Isaiah 14:12-23). Who is he rising-up to overcome?
Names and language are important. For English speaking friends, God is referred to as God. For Spanish speaking friends, Dios is His name. For Islamic friends, Allah is His name. For peace-loving nature lovers His name is Mother Nature, and for some His name is Nirvana. (I’m not being sacrilegious; I’m explaining my belief that everyone believes in God). Who is He? He is the Creator, Sustainer, and Provider of ALL that exists.
So, what is the difference between those mentioned? All the above-mentioned names represent someone or something that is the greatest of all that exists or the “highest energy” that exists. No matter what, all the names characterize a power that creates and sustains.
Names are important. Again, lets offer names of God and their meanings: Elohim=Creator, El Deah=God of Knowledge, El Roi= God Who Sees, El Shaddai=God Almighty, Jehovah Rapha=Healer, Jehovah Sabbaoth= Lord of Hosts, Jehovah Rapha= Healer. These are Names that Describe God’s character so mankind can know who and what God is all about. Bottom line, He is Creator, Sustainer, and Provider. He is Alpha and Omega, the Beginning of all that exists and the End of all that exists BUT most importantly, SAVIOR!
The truth is Almighty God is so great He can never adequately be described.
Now, back to the question, what is the difference between the names of God mentioned above? Again, all those names characterize a Creator and Sustainer, A “Higher (highest) Energy”, the greatest level anyone could expect or imagine. The Answer: Of all that use those names, they either, 1) Acknowledge the one and only true God, Creator, Sustainer, and Provider, or 2) They deny and/or oppose Him, the Almighty God.
It is ok to want to achieve Nirvana described as the highest level of consciousness. That sounds like being in heaven with God, doesn’t it? But who created such a thing as a consciousness? I submit to you Almighty God. He called it a “living soul” breathing Life into that soul (read Genesis) when HE, Almighty God created us! The problem is that many who seek to achieve Nirvana, deny it was Almighty God who created The Highest Level of Consciousness some call Nirvana. So, I ask them, Who created Nirvana?? Answer: Almighty God.
What makes Nirvana controversial is that it acknowledges a perfect condition BUT denies the One who Created it. The same holds true for “mother nature”, a vague way of denying that Almighty God is the Creator of nature. Again, we see that what these believers say is true BUT deny the source of its existence, Almighty God!
Most people believe in satan, that he exists, or they at least believe there is evil. Let’s look at names. The name satan means “opposer”, adversary or the one who resists. Question; Who is he (satan) resisting? Answer, God.
We see plenty of evil in the world today. Most will acknowledge that both good and evil exist AND are opposites. What is Good? Answer: Truth, Love, Life, Peace and more. What is Evil? Answer: Deception, Hate, Death, War and more. Of course, these definitions are relative based on one’s perspective, so, God Help Us and Save Us from those people. It is hard to believe that there are those who believe Deception, Hate, Death and War are “good and ok”. I submit to you that view is perverse! God Help Us! Unfortunately, they are practicing this perverseness today in our governments and institutions (These are the Principalities and Powers the bible speaks of). They have joined and worship satan as their provider and sustainer. Just take a look at the conditions of our world today. We are in a spiritual war.
Finally, another thought to close. Evolution believes in the “big bang”. The big bang suggests there was a void and gases happened to somehow chemically react, explode and dust was formed coming together to create our universe. Question; Where did those gases come from? Who created the gases?
