Divine Purpose

If a “spiritual universe” exists, there likewise must also exist laws or principles common to both such a “spiritual universe” and to the physical universe, in order for us to be able to perceive any manifestation of such a “spiritual universe.”

The inevitable implication is the existence and reality of God. Summary of Ch. Two: “The fool has said in his heart; there is no God.” (Psalm 12:1)

I.   Divine Purpose

            What would an omniscient, omnipresent, and omnipotent being, possibly want? The only possible thing that such a being would want would be an entity, perfectly complementary to Him, that was His of its own choice, and not out of necessity.

II.   THE NECESSITY FOR A SECONDARY WILL

Obviously, if there existed only one will (God’s) in the universe, there would be no possible way for such a divine purpose to be realized. It is essential to the attainment of such a divine purpose that there exist to divine will a secondary, opposing will.                                               III.   FREE WILL

            It should be equally apparent that, in order for such a complementary entity to choose to belong to God, it must have an independent, free will.
