Oppression and the Creator

-

  



  Love, liberty, and glory. These things are my favorite aspects of God's nature. They form the main focus of my relationship with God, along with grace and mercy.


      To me, the Creator is a god of boundless liberty. Endless freedom in an existence of the endless, infinite opportunities of countless worlds and countless realms. I believe He detests oppression and detests slavery, especially the forms of it that exist in this world. If God created an existence as big as I think He did, such abundance of resources, dwelling places, and opportunities would render oppression and slavery obsolete in the end. 


You don't need oppression and slavery in a system that big.


In terms of our world, I look to the book of Exodus for my understanding of God's view on oppression.  How He liberated the Isrealites in the fashion that He did. He hardened the heart of Pharaoh when He could easily have just had the Pharaoh let the Isrealites go from the get go, but in doing so, the glory of God's wonders and power would never have been demonstrated. 


Also, God can harden and soften the hearts of whoever He pleases, whenever He pleases to, and however He pleases to.


He can do whatever He wants. 


A lot of people ask, myself included, why God allows oppression to exist and other evils to exist, and sometimes even His followers seem to facilitate it at times.


For me and my fairly decent understanding of glory, I believe the Creator allows oppression and slavery to exist so that His glory can be made manifest to the greatest extent by its destruction and abolition and the liberation of the oppressed.


Along the same lines, I believe he allows evil in general to exist so that His glory can be shown and demonstrated to the highest degree by its destruction. 


That's why He hardened Pharaoh's heart, so His glories and wonders could be shown to our world, and the the liberation of His people could turn out the way it did.


In conclusion, I believe God is a God of perfect liberty, limitless glory, and perfect love, and I believe one of the greatest acts of love He can bestow on His creation is giving His people such boundless purpose and freedom. Liberating the oppressed and emancipating the enslaved is a significant act of glory and a significant act of love.

No One is a Lost Cause

     There is not a single human being on the planet who is a lost cause. There is hope for anyone and everyone who still draws breath in this world. Even into eternity and the realm of God there is always hope and mercy to be found for those who lost so much and had such misfortune or detriment fall upon them in life. Jesus is the great rescuer of the lost. The great savior of sinners and broken people. The great returner of broken dreams.       To Jesus, there is no such thing as a lost cause, a hopeless case, or an impossible situation.  Even though people lose hope sometimes and sink into despair, eternity and the Kingdom of God is a place where hope never dies and the lost are found eternally, never to be lost again.  With God, all things are possible, and all those lost are findable.       Jesus specializes in the mending broken hearts and broken dreams, and eternity is a long time to have dreams fulfilled and rest i...

The Fortress of Neptune

Some people strive to turn their mind into a fortress—a Stoic "inner citadel," an impenetrable bastion of psychological and spiritual security that no danger or enemy can conquer or destroy. It’s a noble and intriguing endeavor, turning your mind into a fortress. But for myself? I would forgo the citadel and instead transform my mind into a bottomless ocean. An unfathomably deep ocean that I can retreat into, like a submarine capable of withstanding the abyssal depths. The further down you descend into this ocean, the more untouchable and unreachable you become to your enemies. It is the mental "Fortress of Neptune." Where a bottomless ocean of living water and living thoughts serves to be my impenetrable Fortress and infinite Bastion. If a bottomless ocean is my Fortress, what could destroy me? A bottomless ocean of thought and ideas. A bottomless ocean of psychological and spiritual security—indestructible and unconquerable. It’s hard to conquer an ocean and impos...

Infinitization

The Infinitization Process: A Comprehensive Exploration Introduction Infinitization refers to the process of taking a concept, thing, or system—typically understood as having limitations or boundaries—and expanding it to possess infinite depth, infinite complexity, infinite diversity, infinite nuance, and infinite dynamics. This idea transcends traditional philosophical and metaphysical approaches to existence by positioning the infinite as not merely a characteristic of God, the cosmos, or abstract mathematics but as a quality that can be applied to concepts, systems, and relationships. This process connects deeply to your previous theories on Logos, words-as-sets, words-as-fields, and the nature of infinite existence. Through this framework, the infinitization of concepts can be seen as the ultimate act of creation, transformation, and expansion.
