~ No Man Has Ever Seen God ~
Introductory Quote ~ “In the early days of space exploration one of the Russian cosmonauts returned from space and matter-of-factly stated that he hadn’t seen God! The essence of his comment was, ‘I’ve been there, done that, I didn’t see God — therefore there is no God.’
“Because God was not seen by Russian cosmonauts or our own astronauts, does that mean that God does not exist? Does it mean that He is absent from outer space? Or, is He present but invisible?
“We know that it is dark, very dark, in outer space. We also are aware that outer space is full of light traveling from stars in all directions. Only a tiny fraction of this light travels in a direction that causes it to reach our planet earth. Space travelers do not see the light that is so abundant in space.
“The Scriptures tell us that the God who is light dwells in darkness!” (from the book: “GOD’S NATURE: Sonlight Sunlight” by Robert Lloyd Russell).
Scripture ~ “No one has seen God at any time. If we love one another, God abides in us, and His love has been perfected in us. By this we know that we abide in Him, and He in us, because He has given us of His Spirit. And we have seen and testify that the Father has sent the Son as Savior of the world. Whoever confesses that Jesus is the Son of God, God abides in him, and he in God. And we have known and believed the love that God has for us. God is love, and he who abides in love abides in God, and God in him” (1 John 4:12-16).
Closing Quote ~ “As we return to Einstein’s theory of relativity, we find that as an object reaches the speed of light, dimensions in the direction of travel become zero. This means that objects traveling at the speed of light become invisible, no matter how large they are at slower speeds. Light defies our normal constraints of spatial dimensions.
“Although light is invisible, it is capable of manifesting itself. We can detect the presence of light as it reveals our surroundings, and we discern the effects of light such as feeling its warmth on our skin. It is as if we can see the unseen.
“We can utilize the effects of light in many ways. In our era with the use of lasers mankind has harnessed the power of light to perform many wonderful tasks — from supermarket checkout procedures to critical medical operations.
“In a similar manner we do not see God, but we see the manifestations of God. The effects of the invisible God are clearly seen. His presence can be known.
“The key to understanding either physical or spiritual light is found in observing what it can do. Although no one has ever seen physical light, mankind has learned a great deal about its characteristics; we have applied our knowledge in useful ways.” (from the book: “GOD’S NATURE: Sonlight Sunlight” by Robert Lloyd Russell).
