The Reason for Creation

The coming of the lawless one is according to the working of Satan, with all power, signs, and lying wonders, and with all unrighteous deception among those who perish, because they did not receive the love of the truth, that they might be saved. And for this reason God will send them strong delusion, that they should believe the lie, that they all may be condemned who did not believe the truth but had pleasure in unrighteousness.
(2 Thessalonians 2:9-12) New King James Version

God’s ultimate goal is a place which is perpetually light, where there’s no impurity or corruption, and where he has fellowship with sentient beings. But he isn’t going to make anyone be there unless they want to be there.

Purpose and Reason

Two dolphins with what look like big smiles.

Who hath saved us, and called us with an holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace, which was given us in Christ Jesus before the world began,
(2 Timothy 1:9) KJV

Our devotional is called WHY? Why did God create the universe? In the process of answering this question we have deduced that creation has a purpose:

The purpose of creation is to bring about the permanent physical separation of light from darkness, day from night, good from evil.

Seek and You Will Find

Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives, and the one who seeks finds, and to the one who knocks it will be opened.
(Matthew 7:7-8) ESV

There have been times in our life when we didn’t know what to do. Or perhaps we knew what to do but we didn’t know how to do it. Or maybe we knew what to do but we just didn’t want to do it.

Longsuffering

Cutaway of planet Earth showing the crust, mantle, great gulf and hell.

The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
(2 Peter 3:9) KJV

Here’s something we hear a lot, the indignant cry:

“I’m not going to believe in a god who would torture people who don’t love him!”

God Can’t Lie

Planet earth on the second day as concentric layers of sediment around a gravitational singularity

In hope of eternal life, which God, that cannot lie, promised before the world began;
(Titus 1:2) KJV

What are the logical implications of “God can’t lie?” Total destruction of the mainstream science paradigm (SciPop). Figuratively speaking we’re going to do to SciPop what Samson did in Lehi with the donkey’s jawbone.

What is Creation?

Declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times the things that are not yet done, saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will do all my pleasure:
(Isaiah 46:10) KJV

What is creation the verb, not creation the noun? The act of creation. Maybe we should say creating? Where does creating start? From nothing? Or is it the transformation of one form into another?

The Big Picture

What is man that You are mindful of him, And the son of man that You visit him?
(Psalms 8:4) NKJV

If the truth about God is self-evident, as we’re told in Romans chapter 1 and which is confirmed by Hypothesis 16, what’s the significance for atheism? Atheism isn’t intellectually viable.

The Reason for Hell

For thou wilt not leave my soul in hell; neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption.
(Psalm 16:10) KJV

The reason for hell is: the temporary storage of the accumulated impurity and corruption which is inherent in creation. It’s a consequence of the creation of gravity, and it’s required for the purification of creation.

The Ultimate Answer

Unto me, who am less than the least of all saints, is this grace given, that I should preach among the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ; And to make all men see what is the fellowship of the mystery, which from the beginning of the world hath been hid in God, who created all things by Jesus Christ: To the intent that now unto the principalities and powers in heavenly places might be known by the church the manifold wisdom of God, According to the eternal purpose which he purposed in Christ Jesus our Lord: In whom we have boldness and access with confidence by the faith of him.
(Ephesians 3:8-12) KJV

We can know the ultimate answer to life, the universe and everything by understanding the difference between purpose, reason and function, and by understanding how Earth’s form fits its function.

It Was Very Good

Then God saw everything that He had made, and indeed it was very good. So the evening and the morning were the sixth day.
(Genesis 1:31) NKJV

We should be very clear about a key aspect of the Matty’s Paradigm premise: The fall of man isn’t the fall of creation: the universe was created in a fallen state. The fall of man was when Adam and Eve realized the truth.
