For some reason today I haven't been able to focus very well...it's a wonder I got school done! I woke up late today after that certain sleep like you sleep when you're sick. Don't think I'm sick though! We've got the feast tonight, and we Tagggirlz made some plans afterward to have a date in our room and watch some of a new version of a Jane Austen (girly) movie. Hey that "Tagggirlz" looks kinda cool! :D Then I think I'll do some of the One True God study by Paul Washer and make sure to write things down and have some deep thought time. On that thought, the latest from that study.....
Washer is now focusing on the Self-Existence of God. In Exodus 3:14 God told Moses, "I AM that I AM". According to Washer this... "demonstrates that God's existence was not caused, nor does it depend on anything...outside of Himself. It is God's nature to exist, and so he simply IS--without effort." It's like the question, "When did God first begin?" He ALWAYS was, though we can't understand that.
Acts 17:24-25 ~ "The God who made the world and everything in it is the Lord of heaven and earth and does not live in temples built by hands. And he is not served by human hands, as if he needed anything, because he himself gives all men life and breath and everything else."
This verse is Paul telling the men of Athens about the true God who was unknown to them. God needs nothing--another verse somewhere told the Israelites that they should not think they are doing what God needs done by offering sacrifices. He doesn't NEED sheep and oxen--He doesn't eat them. He NEEDS nothing! He is, just because of Himself
