Does God Require Permission to Exist?

The question of whether God requires permission to exist is often seen as a nonsensical discussion. This article explores the nature of divine omnipotence, examining the principles of theology and recent biblical evidence to demonstrate that God does not need permission to be.

Divine Omnipotence and Existence

Many might ask, 'Why does God need permission to exist? From whom could He require such permission? God either is or is not. Permission has no meaning in this context.'

God is Lord and possesses all power. Consider these biblical verses:

Matt. 28:18: And Jesus came and said to them, 'All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me.'

Isa. 40:23: Do you not know? Have you not heard? The LORD is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. He does not faint or grow weary; his understanding is unsearchable.

Dan. 2:21: He changes the times and the seasons; he removes kings and sets up kings; he gives wisdom to the wise and knowledge to those who have understanding.

Psa. 33:16: By the word of the LORD the heavens were made, by the breath of his mouth all their host.

Prov. 21:1: The king's heart is a stream of water in the LORD's hand; he turns it wherever he will.

God’s Sovereignty and Independence

The question of whether God needs to be allowed to exist is oxymoronic. If He requires permission to exist, He cannot in fact exist. Let's break this down further:

If God needs permission, this implies there is a being supreme to Him. This contradicts the concept of His omnipotence.

Even if one tries to imagine allowing God to exist, this logic is flawed. It presupposes the existence of a being above God, which undermines His divine nature.

Religious Fantasies and God’s Reality

There's a common misconception that there are billions of different gods, each existing as a fantasy in the minds of believers. However, there is no substantial proof of the existence of any of these gods beyond human belief.

Daniel 4:32: Not by the strength of an arm can one save himself in his courage.

Each believer’s concept of a god is unique, making it impossible for one grand, unified concept of the divine to exist. Therefore, in seeking to understand the divine, it is necessary to base beliefs on observable miracles and the nature of the universe.

Divine Miracles and Observations

Modern society, particularly in the 21st century, does not need to question the existence of God per se, as the divine has demonstrated observable miracles through the natural world. From this perspective, no need exists to remain confused by a multitude of imaginary gods.

God does not need the permission of anyone to exist. God has always existed and will continue to exist forever.

The question, 'Does God exist?', is outdated in the 21st century. The God of the universe has demonstrated His existence through the observable miracles performed by nature, guiding humanity to discover His true identity.

Do not allow the fantasy of countless gods to persist in your life. Trust in the observable signs of divine presence in the world around you.

Conclusion

The question of whether God needs permission to exist is redundant when considering the omnipotent nature of God. Believing in God's existence should stem from the observed signs and miracles of the natural world, not from abstract or imagined concepts.
