FOREWORD

The notion of the word ‘God’ has been misunderstood for long and by many people, scientists have searched him through their apparatus many times and speculated about his existence with their scientific knowledge, but since then they have never seen Him with their human eyes neither with their telescope because God is merely and only a Spirit. How many people are praying every day a God that they don’t really know, that they have never seen, and have never come to the full knowledge of his attributes or tasted them? The question we should ask ourselves is this: can we worship and please God without knowing exactly what He likes or dislikes? We believe in God not because we have seen him but because He exists not because he is, the more people have tried to blindfold and embarrass others about this notion of supreme being, the more voices have risen to demonstrate that God doesn’t exist and that there is no life after death, the more the proof of his existence and the understanding of his attributes become more and more clear.

We have been so impatient with God, to the point that our misconception about his nature, our problems, suffering and lack led us to question many times the existence and power of that supreme Spirit. If God exists why can’t He put an end immediately to all the troubles of the world? Does God care about our pain, does He see when our world is about to fall, when tears are streaming down from our eyes? Does He care when people, friends have abandoned us and said bye bye to us? When diseases are knocking at our doors? When people are dying under the threat of bullets? When an airplane crashes or when a bomb strikes an area? Or when an act of kamikaze kills a lot of people?

It seems clearly to me that today when people manufacture something, they accompany it with a handbook just to help the user know how to use their invention easily and suitably. The same thing applies to God our manufacturer, He created us not because He wanted his creatures to suffer, problems come just because we don’t know who He really is and we don’t follow the manual which He gave us, which is supposed to guide our life. Knowing God, that’s to say knowing his nature and obeying his commandments are therefore more important than our prayers or just believing that He exists. In this book we are going to explore all the attributes of this God to remove once and for all the misconceptions about Him, we are going to demonstrate that life continues after death and that there is also a final judgment.

Welcome to who is God? welcome to his true knowledge.

1. GOD IS A SPIRIT CREATOR

Scientists have tried over and over to demonstrate the origin of heaven and earth, how the nature and all his components have come to existence, many theories have been developed for centuries, upon which the creed of many knoweledgeable people relies. What is fascinatinating and true about all these demonstrations is that all creatures come from the combination of this smallest particules, called atoms which are parts of everything, either simple or complicated, small or great. According to the theory of big bang which is currently admitted by scientists, the world originated from a great explosion that took place some million years ago and according to the theory of Darwin, men evolved from monkeys and all species from natural selection.

Although those theories based on human approaches and knowledge have tried to demonstrate the source of the creation of everything they all have their limits. They didn’t explain plainly the source of everything, for instance why did the big bang occur? Who caused the explosion? Where does the universe come from? If men were coming from monkeys, why didn’t they continue to evolve today? The first man and woman were probably like monkeys but were not certainly monkeys. Who created the earth and all that is therein? Who created us? Even if men have evolved from monkeys, where does those monkeys come from? Today with the advancement of science and technology we can admit that all creatures are made of billions of billions of atoms. It is plausible to believe that all those atoms couldn’t combine themselves randomly to bring into existence all creatures, how many atoms have are there on this earth? they are countless, why are they not combining today randomly to form new creatures? We need to humbly reflect and admit that there is a powerful being behind the scene of creating everything. A wonderful God who is more knowledgeable than us, who is a mighty Spirit and know all the secrets of the universe, who used his power to cause the big bang and commanded the atoms of the earth to combine in a logical way to form each creature according to its pattern. “You are worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honor and power; for You created all things, And by Your will they exist and were created” (Revelation 4:11).

According to the Bible, more precisely the book of Genesis demonstrates clearly that God is a Spirit who created everything. This chapter of Genesis is reliable because it has been written by Moses himself a man who was trained in the best school of Egypt and was as a matter of fact considered as an intellectual of his time. This man couldn’t explain how the universe came into existence by basing his analysis on his limited knowledge unless he had been inspired by God, the manufacturer himself. Let us recall that Moses was a man who used to communicate with God mouth to mouth, he certainly received all his commandments and inspiration from Him (Exodus 33:11). He was the man who saw the back of God. “Then I will take away My hand, and you shall see My back; but My face shall not be seen” (Exodus 33:23). He was a divinely inspired intellectual who could explain clearly the source of the creation of everything, let us recall that it was Moses that brought the children of Israel out of Egypt not with swords and weapons but by the power of God on eagle’s wings.

According to the book of Genesis the Spirit of God is the creator of everything that existed on earth, God firstly created heaven and then the earth by his power. This chapter does not explain exactly how they were made but explains the chronology of the creation. Apart from Moses, many people also admitted that God is the founder of the heaven and earth (Psalm 102:25, Isaiah 48:13, Zechariah 12:1). Even though Moses didn’t give us all the details of the creation, we have to wait many years before other prophets affirm that the earth was created by God when He made a circle on the surface of the waters( Job 26:10, Proverbs 8:27 Isaiah 40:22). It means that God made the earth round and set its boundary, which has been confirmed later by scientists that the earth was round. Do you know that Galilee was considered a heretic because he developed this theory that the earth was round, and he was right? Did you know that many were thinking that the earth was flat and were wrong?

Before the creation of heaven and earth, the universe was a place full of water, it means that the actual world where we are living and the heaven were full of water. Darkness was everywhere. The earth nor the heaven was without any form if not cover with water, “the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of waters” (Genesis 1:2). God first used the power of his Spirit to create the sun in the purpose of scattering the darkness, the next step of the creation consisted in making the heaven. According to the book of Genesis, the heaven was created from a firmament, the purpose of creating that firmament was to divide all the waters into two so that, there would be a water that is above the firmament but also under the firmament, It was probably the creation of this firmament from the small particles that resulted in the big bang. It means that the big bang doesn’t explain only the origin of the earth but the heaven as well. It was the water under the firmament that God gathered into one place to form the seas, lakes, rivers leaving therefore a dry land named earth (Job 38:1-30). This is confirmed when the Israelites were fleeing before the Egyptians, when they had not any other choice if not to face an angry red sea before them. The Spirit of God intervened in a miraculous way to the point that the red sea was parted into two, leaving a dry land in the midst of the wall of waters. If God was able to do that, He certainly used his power to gather the waters of the earth into specific places.

The God who created everything was certainly more advanced in scientific knowledge and power than us. For thus says the Lord, Who created the heavens, Who is God, Who formed the earth and made It, Who has established It, Who did not creare it in vain, Who formed it to be inhabited: I am the Lord, and there is no other. Indeed My hand has laid the foundation of the earth, And My right hand has stretched out the heavens; When I call to them, They stand up together.For as the heavens are higher than the earth, So are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts. (Isaiah 45:18, 48:13,55:9). He knew exactly what He was doing. Who has measured the waters in the hollow of His Hand, Measured heaven with a span And calculated the dust of the earth in a measure? Weighed the mountains in scales and the hills in a balance? Who has directed the Spirit of the Lord, or as His counselor has taught Him? (Isaiah 40: 12-13). After the creation of the earth, He made the first seeds of the herbs, trees, plants to spring for, because He knew how to gather the atoms together to give them a real and specific meaning. At each step of his creation God was happy, but wanted to bring more perfection, He made the stars, the moon in order to bring a little light during the night. After all these things God was not relentless in his doings He kept on being creative, He created all the creatures of the sea, then the birds of the sky and the animals of the earth. Why did He firstly make all these things? Because He wanted to prepare all the necessary conditions to welcome the first man and woman. He didn’t want them to lack anything, if not to live a happy and prosperous life. The God who was acting was not doing all these wonders all alone, He is a God who is three in One, He was acting with his collaborators (God the Son and God the Spirit). Like our Body is united with our soul, spirit and Body, God (compare to our soul) is also united with Jesus (which came in human form, body) and the Holy spirit (which is Spirit) in all his actions, they are three differents individuals acting like one. That’s why in the beginning the Spirit of God (Holy Spirit) was Hovering over the face of waters. Then God said, “Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness” (Genesis 1:26). The term “Let Us” confirms that it was not only God the father that was acting, God the Holy Spirit was also part of it, that’s why He was hovering over the face of the waters. In the beginning, God was speaking while His Spirit was doing the job, but the Word that was proceeding out of his mouth was in accordance with God the Son, that’s why the term “Let Us” was used. In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God and the Word was God (John 1:1).And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth (John 1:14). How can a Word who participated at the beginning into the creation became flesh to dwell with us, the Word that John was talking aboutwas certainly God the Son (Jesus). So they were united in word, purposes, decision and they made man according to their likeness, that is to say as they are, by extrapolation if we can know the different part of our being we can assuredly know what God looks like. A man is made of body where his spirit and soul can inhabit. So We can affirm that God is also made of three different united individuals. God the Father, the Son and the Spirit. God crowned his work by making the first man out of the atoms of the earth, what the bible reveals us is astonishing because we understood that it was the spirit that God put into us that made us to become a living creature. That’s why scientists will never cross that barrier, because only God has this secret, we can make robots but have you ever read that a man was successful in turning a robot into a living creature, or have you heard that people were able to raise a dead man if God didn’t allow it? Without the Spirit of God we are nothing. We are only limited as long as our human knowledge is limited. And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living being (Genesis 2:7).
