Toyspace; Energy And Bundles Of Energy Field

By Will Myers

Toyspace is coined to represent nature as being an illustration of a higher truth. God Almighty being the highest Entity in existence is that higher Truth; the universal truth plus infinitely more truths, going into possibly more existences created by God Eternal. All of these truths are contained in the Son of God.

The beginning of all things required energy for it to come into being. Many scientists believe that matter came first, but us Christians know that God had the energy and the thought Who created all things composed of matter and any other thing that has a name. Matter is a bundle of energy as described by Einstein’s equation, E=MC(squared), which is the energy-matter equivalence equation showing that matter and energy are interchangeable.

We observe forms coming into being and going out of being. Humans can intervene into the things existing but since humans are part of God’s creation their intervention is only part of God’s master plan. Men observe the behavior of matter and energy which are working perfectly as predestined by God.

The Master Mind of the big bang works dynamically with purpose, working toward God’s Goal without ceasing. In John 6:29 (KJV); “ Jesus answered and said unto them, This is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he hath sent.” God has predestined that humans become like the Son of God Who has God’s Holy Spirit. We have been expanding our Toyspace and slowly realizing that the worlds are framed by the word of God and that the heavens declare the Glory of God. In Romans 1:20, (KJV); “For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:” we learn that God has a school. The biblical scriptures are our schoolmasters leading each person unto the Son of God.

All things of all forms and fashions came into being based on God’s Master Plan (matter releasing quanta of energies and absorbing quanta of energies). Men have been observing and intervening into matters and affairs of men while learning the unfolding truths of God which speaks of the Son of God. This comes from God proceeding from the world which is called the Spirit of Truth Who shall lead us through all truths until all mysteries are revealed.

God has to be in the equation of life in order to see that everything is working in harmony and properly related to each other that “IS”. Science and philosophy always begin at a reference point and relates and develops from that reference. As a result, science and tech have grave difficulties integrating with the Words of God which is about the beginning and the end of all existences in the universe.

On the other hand, children of light don’t know as much as the children of the world know about their ways. The children of light are advised by Jesus to observe the world’s ways then move as guided by their Sprit of Light, Spirit of Truth.

Jesus said that we don’t see the Spirit of Truth because we don’t know Him, but Christians which know Jesus also know the Sprit of Truth. Christians can observe God’s Truth which proceeds from the world and tell of things to come because they know Jesus. John 16:13; “Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come.”

Energy and bundles of energy (matter) acts in concert governed by God’s Master Plan forms all things and illustrating to man dynamically the unfolding truth of God leading unto the One Truth of the Son of God Whom we are predestined to be like. Amen.

Talking to God Is Talking To The Son Of God

By Will Myers

God see no bounds and have no limits to His power. Man, however, see bounds and have limits. As much as secular humanist exaggerate the power of the human mind, one has limits in the physical world and have a finite capacity mentally. The Son of God, Jesus, was sent to earth by Father God to save man. Jesus is 100% god and 100% human. To any person, the Son reflects and transmits the Will of God. Whatever God the Father is communicating to a person then the Son Jesus is communicating the same. They are in perfect harmony. God is available to anyone by the Son Jesus to talk and listen to God Who is our Heavenly Father. The bible gives us the name of our Heavenly Father, and that name is Jehovah Who is almighty and eternal.

Most monotheistic believing persons pray the prayers of asking for something and thanking God for something believing rightly that they have sent the prayer up to God. It is now time to talk with God and patiently await an answer as we would with our earthly fathers. Through Son Jesus, we have a personal relationship with God, our Father, which extends infinitely further than any relationship with our earthly father.

Intimacy with God is the purpose of life. In John 6:29, King James Version (KJV); “ Jesus answered and said unto them, This is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he hath sent.” All we have to do in life is to increase our faith in the Son Jesus. Just continue to ask God questions and read his word for more knowledge.

All physical laws, civil laws, and spiritual laws serve the purpose of making people believe in Whom God has sent Who is Son Jesus; if you don’t believe such then your God is too small. Knowing His purpose, we can hear and watch God perform; observe His simplistic beauty; talk with God intimately.

Knowing the Lord Jesus’s voice is important. There are many deceivers in the world, and many demons attempting to influence your mind. One must love Jesus and be one of his sheep. His sheep know His voice.

One should seek God’s counsel and what does God want you to do next than listen patiently. An understanding with God on any personal matter is part of your relationship with your Heavenly Father.

All prayers are answered if one believe without any doubt. Strong faith moves mountains, but faith without any doubt changes time. It takes faith to put God’s Word into operation. Repeating prayers are a show of unbelief that God has answered your pray, but thanking God repeatedly for answering the prayer is acceptable when it’s an expression of love coming from the heart.

Secular Humanist Leading Youth Into Hell

By Will Myers

I have debated many atheist and agnostics over the years and I still haven’t heard a plausible answer to the problems of the humanities; it’s as if the humanity is going to perfect itself if humans would only destroy any faith in God. When I inquire as to the need for morals the usual reply was that humans can think for themselves. The debate has always ended with you can’t prove that there is a God. My mentioning faith and that we all have faith in something seem to vanish into thin air.

I, to this day,  can’t understand why when atheist are informed that the bible is a practical book authorized by God for our psychological processes to generate joy and happiness, they usually claim that the book is obsolete. Well, what in hell replaced “do not murder.” Atheist see but don’t see. They see the sunrise each morning and the change of seasons but see nothing but only self. Atheist seems to think that if things are good then they will always go good; an old magnificent fallacy of the youths.

The bible is a Wonderful Counselor. The teachings in the bible are to ensure one to have a wonderful life. Faith is necessary for the Word of God to operate to its fullest in one’s life. Faith in the Son of God is like a key that unlock a door. Matthew 16:19, King James Version (KJV); “ And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.”

I have an overview of our present separation of state and religion Delima which has gone far beyond than what is necessary. I believe this reason is that the powers-to-be need to destroy any dependence on any other entity other than the secular government. There is a determined movement to capture the minds of each citizen of the earth by the governments (To be One World Government), implementing all of the social machinery that exist today which has not been deployed to their full fruition. This state of the private citizens would be without privacy which leads to control by intimidation and in many cases direct acts for the demise of a private citizen.

Faith in God has in the past been a safe deposit vault for American values; a preservatory for individual rights and freedoms; a place that a tyrannical government could not reach.  Respect for the individual shall diminish greatly; individual priveledges are very tentative at present all because we are turning from God. Our faith gives each individual citizen a ground to stand on when groups attempt to undermine the individual because an individual can be destroyed without anyone having committed a civil crime. What secular humanists fail to tell anyone is that the group is always right without adhering to any moral values. Soon, the individual shall lose all respect.

Our free democracy with the demise of the individual shall move toward communism and fascism. Bernie Sanders, the proclaimed Socialist Democrat, is needed at this time to counter the communist and fascist movement in America in order to preserve the individual’s rights. Don’t panic; elements socialism and communism and fascism is already in our democratic government. Why? The purpose of the government is the welfare of the citizens. Therefore, since the needs of the people are the same world over, governments has similar duties. Our American democracy supposedly places emphasis on the people as the controller of the government, but for this to be effective the individual must have grounds to stand on. Now, we are moving from individual rights as fascist and communist elements in our government increases.

Light Up Your Mind; Secrets Revealed

By Will Myers

The below diagrams are at first mind-boggling, but if you come to understand what they are saying in a practical sense then you will receive much universal knowledge and the fullness of the Son God.

John 6:29, King James Version (KJV); “ Jesus answered and said unto them, This is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he hath sent.”

THE WORKS OF GOD ARE NOT LIMITED.

jesus CHRIST Inspirationalbert-einstein-picture-1.jpg

ddddfgod-equation-jesus-100-2-5-15-3b EnlargedGod Equations Eixtence and Observer 3God Equation Final Draft Nov 23 2013 2aGod Equation Final Draft Nov 23 2013 2a

The bible scriptures are implying a lot of mathematics. Life is a process given to us by our Creator, God, and it must be always true; therefore, the process can be codified into mathematical terms just as words codify civil laws. As expressed in Isaiah 28:16; “…God has laid a stone in the essence of all things…” It’s God’s Perfect Righteousness, giving the perfect order to all things. God is not a God of chaos but turns chaos into what He Will. From God’s perfect order, we get math,  science, and technology.

Matthew 16:19King James Version (KJV)

19 And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven. This scripture clearly defines a process with an identity of the spiritual and the material world. 

Psalm 19:1, King James Version; “ The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handywork.”

Hebrews 11:3, King James Version (KJV); “Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear.”

At first, the mathematical expression above with given conditions described by the words will depress your spirit, but in a short time  comprehension will come to you at a point in your universe. Ignite! Know Jesus personally.

God created math and science. There is nothing created that is not created by God.

Romans 1:20King James Version (KJV)

20 For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:

Psalm 119:18


New International Version

“Open my eyes that I may see wonderful things in your law.”

Long time did I search for the universal truth, and discovered the Son Of God was next to me all the time. Without doubt, the Son of God, Jesus, is the universal truth, and science support such conclusion.

The Perfect Righteousness Of God Who Is In Christ Jesus

By Will Myers

It took man millions of years to arrive at the physics of the universe and the civil laws alone with many philosophies. The intellectual prowess of man developed because of  our design and the design of the universe. Only as recent as 500 years did man become aware that there were even physically laws in which they could consider as being perfect; although, men were suspicious of their existence long before codifying them. Isaiah 28:16,King James Version; 16 “Therefore thus saith the Lord God, Behold, I lay in Zion for a foundation a stone, a tried stone, a precious corner stone, a sure foundation: he that believeth shall not make haste.” Zion in Hebrew means “in the essence of all things;” and is a quality that is experienced always; a potentiality (Uspace).

If we let Vspace represent the nexus of all things that are dynamic, then we have UspaceVspace=Q, the laws, the way things are made. God’s perfect righteousness giving perfect order (Uspace) imposes on all things with a resultant of Q. God sent His Son into the world for to save each of us and His Life was determined to be perfect by our Creator, Father God. Jesus is the Perfect One (UspaceVspace=Q); God’s mind wrapped in flesh.

If one take a moment to listen to Christ Jesus before making necessary choices, then one is guaranteed to receive the Life from God Eternal. This Life has been destined by God to give anyone happiness. One shall receive presecution but God has provided a way to overcome, and one shall receive 100 times more than what he had lost in the name of His Son.

Psalm 19:1; “The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handywork.” This scripture clearly expresses the existence equation of UspaceVspace=Q in which the Life of the equation (Potentiality) is called the Spirit of Truth Who proceeds from God in the world, and tells of the Son and tells of things to come. The works of God in our dynamic system is to make people believe in Whom He has sent; His Son.

Romans 1:20; “For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:”

John 6:29: “Jesus answered and said unto them, This is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he hath sent.”

Exalt The Name Of Jesus And Father God Shall Reward You Greatly

By Will Myers

Jesus said that if you exalt His name then He would draw all men unto Him. This is happening in micro settings all around the world. The finality shall surely come in which all good men shall seek to grab our Savior. This would ensure membership in God’s Kingdom. One would think that the wealthy and powerful could remain neutral, but there are no neutral grounds. Either you are with Christ or left with satan.

Hebrews 11:6

But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.

For the Son of man shall come in the glory of his Father with his angels, and then he shall reward every man according to his works.

Rejoice ye in that day, and leap for joy: for, behold, your reward is great in heaven: for in the like manner did their fathers unto the prophets.
Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a namewhich is above every name:
O Lord, thou art my God; I will exalt thee, I will praise thy name; for thou hast done wonderful things; thy counsels of old are faithfulness and truth.
(space)
We all seek a fulfilling life, and no one has a patent for a most gratifying life except for God Who is our Creator. Although, most people will not take the time to learn of our Savior and commit themselves to the Christ.  The major problem is always the self who blocks the presence of Jesus, Son of God. The both is never invited into your dwelling to abide with you Spiritually.

Higher Concepts Available From The Son Of God, Jesus

By Will Myers

1 Timothy 2:5; “For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus;”

Man has been transforming spiritually and physically which includes advancements in science, math, philosophy…ect for over 100,000 years when humans began to have emotions of love for one another, and had begun funeral rituals which was evidence of the beginning of man’s concept of the after-life. Rational thinking naturally began to increase, and since each concept fell short of the underlining realities or the cosmic universal the man needed to improve upon each concept which became a precept upon discovering the next concept. This brings one to the need of finding the higher concept which usually meant future survival for a Band of humans.

When man’s rational thinking developed to the level of one God who created All things and all knowing, humans toyed with the idea of where did everything come from; what is the purpose of life? As an answer inspired from God a Savior was born into the world.

The world became inundated with the belief that Jesus was our spiritual guide from the world unto the Kingdom of God. This gave credence to the existence of the Kingdom of God and paved the way to journey on a path to the Kingdom of Heaven in the name and authority of our Savior, Jesus. The journey, meaning also to go from precept after precept, has a campsite of the concept for the time until a new, higher concept has been discovered or a revelation is received than man moves to that campsite. This brings us to the question of “what is the next concept?” Where is the next campsite? The journeying because of a desire to be in the Kingdom of God is fine, but one need a guide, a knowledge of the path unto the Kingdom of God. I can furtherly state that this is also the path to happiness.

This brings us to the concept of a Mediator. The word itself implies that there is a compromise between two parties. Jesus, being the Son of God, knows His Father and the Kingdom. Matthew 6:33; “But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness, and all these things shall be added unto you” lets us know that if one make a choice to follow Christ Jesus than God shall supply guidance on the journey and your material needs. The Son, Jesus, is the glory and the riches of the Father. We need only to turn to the Son for directions and all needs. If and when a question arises Jesus shall listen and hear the Father for our practical answers. The practical answer is not the complete answer; it is not the end to the journey, but can be viewed as the next campsite and food to eat alone with any other immediate need to allow the journey to continue unto the Kingdom of God and gain more happiness.

Einstein once stated that “any problem created at a certain level must be solved using a higher concept. It can not be solved at the same level of thinking in which the problem was created.” This acknowledges a need for a mediator in the affairs of men, and this is very practical to all men. God has been accused of being only in the distance heavens and have left man to struggle alone. This is not true. God has always been closer than a brother; you just haven’t turned to Him and stood still alone enough with expectations of seeing God. Jesus is that manifestation of God and is very relevant today as for always. Jesus is our Mediator Who receives and gives practical answers for our successful daily lives. JESUS IS THE RELEVANT ONE FOR ALL TIMES; JESUS IS GOD’S MEDIATOR FOR ALL MANKIND.

2 Corinthians 3:6 King James Version (KJV)

6 Who also hath made us able ministers of the new testament; not of the letter, but of the spirit: for the letter killeth, but the spirit giveth life.

“God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.”

God is a Spirit. The spirit is first to exist followed by manifestations from the spirit which is in the physical realms for all men to see. Jesus possesses God’s Holy Spirit and hears every word from the mouth of God while giving the practical answers as needed for our daily life. Pray in the name of Jesus; God answers prayers.

Thank God for Gut Microbes

The microbes in your lower intestine are like Rodney Dangerfield—they get no respect. So, I am guessing that the bacteria in your bowels helping you digest turkey and pumpkin pie are near the bottom of your list of things you will be thanking God for this Thanksgiving Day. Perhaps this article will change that.

I have written previously about the benefits of gut bacteria. A study shows that humans who were richly endowed with anti-inflammatory bacterial species in their gut were much less likely to be plagued by obesity.1 Another study reveals that what you eat determines the diversity of your gut bacteria.2

Now, new research shows the likelihood that gut intestinal microbiota influence brain development and neurological behavior.3 These studies follow previous findings that demonstrated that mammals raised in sterile, germ-free conditions exhibited negative behaviors resulting from impaired brain physiology and neurochemistry.

The new studies reveal that gut microbes influence our brains through certain hormones, immune system molecules, and metabolites they produce. For example, a study of residents of Walkerton, Canada, who, over a short time period, ingested contaminated drinking water—thus, severely damaging their gut bacteria—suffered widespread depression and anxiety disorders that persisted for eight years.4 Another study showed that certain gut microbes break down complex carbohydrates to produce the fatty acid butyrate, which strengthens the blood-brain barrier.5 A complementary study demonstrated that disruption of the brain-gut-microbiota axis likely contributes to the development of Parkinson’s disease.6 Yet another study established that gut microbes directly alter neurotransmitter levels. Specifically, this study showed that certain metabolites from gut microbes promote serotonin production.7 Still another study reveals that the health condition of gut microbiota during the host’s early development might affect neurodevelopment, especially in males,8 which has touched off speculation about autism disorders.

Emerging, not-yet-published research findings show that, in at least one part of the brain, gut microbes influence the formation of the fatty sheathings that insulate nerve fibers.9 An older published study shows a probable link between multiple sclerosis and the disabling of a metabolite produced by certain types of gut bacteria.10

As this growing research demonstrates, if you want a healthy, high-functioning brain and an optimal psychological state of mind, it will be important to take good care of your gut microbiota. As your mother said, “Eat your vegetables”—especially the green ones.

Our Creator meticulously designed a diverse array of gut microbes to ensure that our brains can function for many decades at a high-capacity level that enables us to enjoy creation and to fulfill all the purposes for which He created us. This Thanksgiving, select a menu that will be kind to your gut microbes and take some time to thank God for the marvelous way He designed your gut bacteria.

Why Argue about Evolution?

Is debating about the validity of the evolutionary paradigm a waste of time? My Facebook friend Deb, an atheist, thinks so. After I posted a brief critique about human evolution, she left this comment out of frustration:

Instead of hitting each other over the head about evolution, maybe we could work together to solve some of this planet’s pressing problems (climate change, poverty, war, environmental degradation, wealth inequality, lack of health care and educational resources, prejudice, discrimination and so forth).

Does Deb have a point? Does the creation-evolution controversy detract us from more weighty concerns?

I would say no. In fact, I assert that our concern about humanity’s social ills and our planet’s environmental catastrophes—and our motivation to act—are deeply connected to what we think about human origins.

Let me explain.

Scripture teaches that God created human beings to bear His image (Genesis 1:26–27; 9:6). Accordingly, all human beings have intrinsic worth and dignity. All human beings are equal. The way we treat image bearers equates to the way we treat God. Serving others likens to serving God. These ideas—so clearly taught in Scripture—inspire Christians to good works. They rouse Christians to action against the injustices in our world.

On the other hand, while individual atheists are as capable of good deeds as Christians, atheism itself provides no genuine motivation for such acts. If human beings are the product of unguided evolutionary processes, then we are one among countless species that have existed on Earth. From an evolutionary standpoint, human beings are a historically contingent accident of an indiscriminate, natural process. Human life has no intrinsic value; there is no ultimate meaning or purpose to human life.

From an atheistic perspective, why should we care what happens to other human beings? In an atheistic framework, it really makes no difference if human beings suffer from poverty, lack of health care, or injustice. In fact, one could argue that an atheist showing compassion to the sick and weak is “immoral” because it disrupts the evolutionary process, in which survival of the fittest serves as the engine for evolutionary advance.

I’m not saying that atheists can’t be good or aren’t good. Many nonbelievers do good works, and I deeply admire and applaud the caring things that they do. It is wonderful to see people of different worldviews lock arms and work together to confront injustice.

But what features of an atheistic worldview justify good works? Deb explains that atheists “feel it’s the compassionate thing to do….We’re not doing this because we expect any reward in the afterlife, as we do not believe in anything beyond death. We do it because we love life in the here and now so much.” However, an atheistic worldview doesn’t require compassion or kindness or acknowledgement of human dignity. It is just as valid for an atheist to reject good works as it is to embrace them. In an atheistic framework, it is not clear what justice actually looks like; it is not clear what distinguishes a “right” action from a “wrong” one. There is no objective standard for good and evil in atheism. Without that standard, what is wrong for one society (or even one person) could be right for another.

In contrast, the biblical God, through scriptural teachings, clearly defines how and why we should live and how we should treat each other.

In my view, the reason that atheists can extend compassion toward others and place high value on human life arises from the fact that all human beings bear God’s image. We inherently know that all people have dignity and worth. We have a “law written on our hearts” that guides our behavior if we let it. The moral code many atheists adopt is designed into their DNA, as it is in all humans. Atheists are, unwittingly, borrowing from a Judeo-Christian worldview, when they express a commitment to combat poverty, end war, provide health care, and end discrimination. That is why believers and nonbelievers can work together to improve our world.

When atheists do good works, they are defying the logical outworking of their worldview. As a case in point, in The Selfish Gene, Richard Dawkins states emphatically:

Be warned that if you wish, as I do, to build a society in which individuals cooperate generously and unselfishly towards a common good, you can expect little help from biological nature. Let us try toteach generosity and altruism, because we are born selfish. Let us understand what our own selfish genes are up to, because we may then at least have the chance to upset their designs, something that no other species has ever aspired to do.1

Again, if atheism is true, we should ask why we would want to “upset the designs” of our selfish genes, because to do so, would be to upset the evolutionary process. Why should we stand in opposition to biological nature? Like all atheists, Dawkins’ morality is at war with his worldview.

In the end, it is only the Christian worldview that provides the necessary framework to truly justify addressing the evils of this world.

And that is why it is important to “hit each other over the head about evolution.” What we think about human origins really matters. And the good news is that a scientific case can be made for credibility of the biblical account of human origins.
