The World and the Word

                                     The Fall

The nonexistence of negative consciousnesses which can think and act only in destructive ways can never diminish God's omniscience in the least. God possesses an infinite positive and creative knowledge, but negative consciousnesses can only be a kind of anti-knowledge.

God began to suspect that He had accidentally created the bottomless pit with all of its devils when He created darkness long before He created the heaven and earth. Genesis 1:1-2. God felt guilty about His accidental creation of evil even though He was completely innocent in this matter. Isaiah 45:7. But in the very next verse, Isaiah 45:8, God promised that He will rescue all of His creations from evil, recreate the heaven and earth to be wholly righteous, and afford salvation for all humans who would ever live. Isaiah 45:21-24. For these reasons, God has revealed in Revelation 21:23-27 that His New Jerusalem will light the whole earth, and He will not allow any night on His recreated earth. God has also revealed in Revelation 22:3-6 that He will also allow no darkness in heaven whatsoever. God will completely light heaven. God will allow no shadow of death in any of His new creations in order to ensure that no evil can ever emerge from darkness to ever infect His creations again.

God did not create His Infinite Set of Ideas that forms the Contents of His Infinite Mind because that is the Word of God which is One with God Himself. John 1:1. But God created a real universe outside Himself filled with good systems based on ideas extracted from His Set of Infinite Ideas. God created absolutely everything, abstract and concrete. Colossians 1:16. All thoughts, ideas, and emotions are good if used in the right way, even hatred. God's hatred of evil is a good system. God knows how to use jealousy in the right way, but humans often misuse jealousy in a sinful way. Deuteronomy 4:24; The Song of Solomon 8:6. God can feel guilt, but His guilt only shows that He cares about His creations that have been forced to suffer from the influence of evil. Isaiah 45:7. Demons have no ideas whatsoever. The demons and Satan can only misuse God's extracted, good ideas to invent false and destructive systems.

God created emotions, therefore He can feel them. But God could not feel human emotions in time until He became human. God felt those human emotions in the passage of time, but whatever God feels in a moment stretches out from that moment to eternity. Therefore, God waited to become human to feel human emotions, but at the same time, He feels them in eternity. This is a paradox, not a contradiction. Hebrews 5:7-9.
