Why does everything take time?

[Raphael]

Why is it that everything takes deliberate time to evolve, from human physical, emotional, mental, career, business until all in the universe of a falling leaf, drop of rain, and budding flower... including the growth of the light of God's Truth upon His people?

There could be a long list of answers but let's stick to logical explanations, particularly in relation to our ups & downs in this world.

"Doctrine" also evolved, or better said, developed over time...

...This is WHY the New Testament interprets the Old.

Not only humans are provided the opportunity to have a personal flavor version of inspired messages but (it should be noted) by other creations as well...

Things become complicatedly worse during the initial stages of human messenger professions because of dark forces have the right to demand intervening tests but after unceasingly persisting and prevailing (painfully in the pain meter)... things will get better and a stronger hold of the big picture permeates.

If one reads my writings on communications with God, one may find parts of there that say that I am not allowed to explain... but with permission I try to find ways to lead to that of which is not licensed for public dispersion. Leading is different and OK.

If one makes these communications an unceasing part of his or her life, to strive to know more and to find answers (not temporal solutions), in the initial phases will experience off and on surges in the communication relations with above. Satan has all the rights to eavesdrop onto any of one's thoughts and communication with the above and interveningly mislead, bother, tempt and test until he finishes up his 'quota' to bug you. This is another thing when it is taught that Satan can't read minds, which is way off the mark. But after Satan's quota is up, things will be different... still experiencing common bad things but not on a lengthy basis, just short puffs, which get less frequent in time...

It is very important to be like the energizer bunny that keeps coming back, that never gives up on Him. This way, one will also be thorough and always double check every moment, every day, every week, even month.

Even now, if my prayers are not layered with protection, messages received are false and misleading...

There are unfavorable situations that are allowed to persist as is also seen in all patterns all around, where answers given are that this is a public exhibition of fidelity and stamina for eternal documentation for eternal witnesses throughout eternity, where people are tested whether they only come during promotional happy hours and never become regular customers. God wants regular customers because He wants to have these people in heaven forever with Him (and ofcourse assist the whole universe as antibodies for eternal immunity. That job will be great with great compensation for certain.)

There is this pattern where God likes to play weak by not having permanent victories but instead giving just enough to pass the day and keeping torment at the sustainable level and not healing instead letting the crippling soul try to walk though in such crippled manner. It's all about that exhibition deal of deliberately moving painfully and agonizingly slow but He is fair because He promises great justifiable rewards. One could look at it like a job with a hopeful pay at the end... and keep on being an energizer bunny, particularly mind-wise.

Raphael, mind telling us about your background?

[Q.E.D.]

God created time to keep everything from happening at once.

It's interesting to note that God shortened man's life span considerably following the flood. We don't need 900 years to make a decision for Christ. Which in my opinion is the sole reason for our existence, to make a choice. If you haven't done that in the first hundred years, there's not much left to lend itself to a valid reason for another few centuries.

[Raphael]

That's really nice... "God created time to keep everything from happening at once"

It would be great to have good things, instead of happening once, happens distributively on and on forever .

It would be nerve racking to have bad things, instead of happening once, happens distributively throughout one's lifetime.

I think that really makes sense.

My name is indeed as it is labeled here in this forum and I am sort of a recovering fundamentalist, skyblue888.
