God doesn't work in mysterious ways. He works in reasonable ways. There is reason behind everything God does. Could God make a boulder so big that he himself couldn't lift it? That is unreasonable. Someone was thinking about an Omni-God in a vacuum. Someone asking that question was also thinking in a three dimensions. God is other dimensional. Other Dimensional is getting into an understanding of Quantum Physics. I try not to over think it, or dig too deep there. Man has been taught to think wrong, to think in science for about three hundred years or so. Thinking too much about it....digging too deep, a man could be destroyed, by God, coming into understanding in the wrong way. Someone needs a Fear of God to venture into these topics.
Do not be afraid of those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Rather, be afraid of the One who can destroy both soul and body in hell. (Matthew 10:28)
The Question: Where does God imply that he is sometimes "Away?"
Adam and Eve ate of the fruit of Knowledge of Good and Evil. God was watching.....but he wasn't. Part of God saw everything. He wasn't looking over Adam's shoulder micromanaging Adam. Adam has freedom of choice. Adam had been given authority over the Earth.
The Parable of the Tenant Farmers -
Then He began to tell the people this parable: “A certain man planted a vineyard, leased it to [a]vinedressers, and went into a far country for a long time. 10 Now at [b]vintage-time he sent a servant to the vinedressers, that they might give him some of the fruit of the vineyard. But the vinedressers beat him and sent him away empty-handed. 11 Again he sent another servant; and they beat him also, treated him shamefully, and sent him away empty-handed. 12 And again he sent a third; and they wounded him also and cast him out.
13 “Then the owner of the vineyard said, ‘What shall I do? I will send my beloved son. Probably they will respect him when they see him.’ 14 But when the vinedressers saw him, they reasoned among themselves, saying, ‘This is the heir. Come, let us kill him, that the inheritance may be ours.’ 15 So they cast him out of the vineyard and killed him. Therefore what will the owner of the vineyard do to them? 16 He will come and destroy those vinedressers and give the vineyard to others.”
And when they heard it they said, “Certainly not!”
17 Then He looked at them and said, “What then is this that is written:
‘The stone which the builders rejected
Has become the chief cornerstone’?18 Whoever falls on that stone will be broken; but on whomever it falls, it will grind him to powder.”
19 And the chief priests and the scribes that very hour sought to lay hands on Him, but they [c]feared the people—for they knew He had spoken this parable against them. (Luke 20:9-19)
In the Parable of the Tenant Farmers, mankind is like a God's Vineyard. Jesus Christ is the truevine, the Father the vitner. God rented out his vineyard to some Tenant Farmers. These Tenant Farmers were teachers of religious law. They were shaping how man perceived himself; how man perceived God. Given mankind was in trouble, whose fault is it? It is the teachers of religious law. In 2025, that may be Harvard University where they made an Atheist their Head Chaplin. Any Professor at Harvard may have been a teacher of religious law potentially, as a Secular Humanist or other. Whose fault is it if mankind is in trouble? It is their fault. God judges the false teachers more harshly. (Matthew 18:6)
God has liked to give authority to man.
26 To the one who is victorious and does my will to the end, I will give authority over the nations— 27 that one ‘will rule them with an iron scepter and will dash them to pieces like pottery’[a]—just as I have received authority from my Father. 28 I will also give that one the morning star. (Revelations 2:26-28)God has liked to give authority to man. God didn't change. (Malachi 3:6-7)
A PhD, who a false or worthless teacher, trying to worm his way out of guilt, he may have been thinking in Atomism. He wants to be an Atom unto himself. The Bible teachers about society as Organic. Christian Society is The Body of Christ. Was someone sowing corruption into The Body? In an understanding of an Organic Society, leaders and teachers, they have a burden.
