A Philosophical and Spiritual Conversation with Betty part four

 The Philosopher turned Theologian: We had to have been created by an Eternal and Infinite Consciousness who has established an eternal reality.

Betty: We call Him God.

The Theologian: Yes. Unreality can never create reality. God must exist for reality to exist.

Betty: And yet we have to put up with unreality contained in false combinations. How did unreality get into our universe anyway?

The Theologian: God has an Infinite Knowledge of reality and an Infinite Ability to create good and useful systems that are beautiful which happens to be what goodness and usefulness are. God is wholly innocent. God never thinks about the creation of any kind of false combination because they are not real, and they are useless. God excluded all unreality from His universe. He thought that because it cannot exist, then it has to be impotent. God has an Infinite Knowledge of all that is good and beautiful, but He ignored unreality because that which does not exist can contain absolutely nothing that can be known.

Betty: So I have to ask you again how did unreality get into our universe?

The Theologian: The inerrant and infallible Word of God, which is the King James Bible in English, tells us how that happened. One day God became shocked to discover that His most beautiful angel named Lucifer had rebelled against Him with one third of God's angels that followed Lucifer. God also discovered that Lucifer had been influenced to rebel by certain negative consciousnesses that had somehow emerged from a bottomless pit of unreality that could not exist in reality. Yet, this bottomless pit had somehow produced destructive, negative consciousnesses which are the opposite of positive, creative consciousnesses. Unreality was not impotent. It could produce negative consciousnesses which were wholly intent on annulling positive reality. Exactly what negative consciousnesses could be remains a complete mystery to all positive consciousnesses, including God's. They cannot exist in reality, and yet, they can have a negative and destructive effect on reality. You can read about Lucifer's rebellion in Ezekiel 28:13-19 and about the mystery of iniquity in II Thessalonians 2:7.

Betty: So unreality can influence reality in a negative and destructive way?

The Theologian: Yes, but that fact puzzles positive consciousness since it can only experience and think about that which is real.
