What does God do?

I've been struggling with this question for some time. So God created the heavens and the earth, that's for sure. But in everyday life what does he do? Does he have anything to do?

I'm looking for specifics here. If I drop an apple, is it God who makes it fall to the ground? Does God create fire when I light a match? When I move my body is it God doing it or me?

Hope someone can answer my questions, thanks

 

Just know that God is all-powerful (and thus we are to realize that in promises) in His doing. All-knowing makes God a little unbelievable.

 

God is pure act and exists outside of time. God doesn't make a person do anything (or rather, he isn't the one causing the effect of nature after a person does something). It is sort of like being 20 feet above a graveyard and seeing all the dates and gravestones of peoples lives over centuries all at once.

God would be the one ultimately responsible for all of existence, so in a way, ultimately you dropping the apples would in fact go back to Him.

 

Let me add though that in most Christian traditions, God is three persons in One - seperate and distinct yet making up one entity. The Father communicates his infinite love to The Son, The Son reciprocates, and... somehow the Holy Spirit is involved there. It has been awhile since I've read Augustine's The Trinity.

EDIT: So basically, if one can say before earthly existence in regards to God, His entire being was made up of perpetual infinite love, which is the existence that humanity is meant to share in heaven.

 

Not sure- - buI think he helps manage the Yankees once in while

 

What do you mean ultimately? Let's go through the process of dropping an apple. I let it go by extending my hand muscles - I assume that's me doing this and not God. Now gravity pulling the apple down - is that God? Is all gravity done by God? Can God choose not to make the apple fall down?

 

No, by ultimately I only mean that when you go back far enough without God there would be no gravity, not that God actually IS the gravity. In other words if I don't bake the cake you can never eat it. He is responsible for the gravity inasmuch as he is responsible for existence in general.

However, I would say that it would indeed be in God's power to suspend gravity, though I don't tend to think he involves himself so directly in human affairs - or material affairs for that matter.

 

He's kicking back and watching football on TV.

Just kidding but in away it's true. God does use his dynamic energy constantly to sustain the universe but things like gravity are part of the laws that he established in the beginning and they petty much just operate on their own.

As for what God is doing right now, he is still in his day of rest, the seventh day of the creative days, so he's kicking back and watching football on TV.

 

Whatever he wants.

 

considering no one can be specific what god is, theres no answer to the question.

some people say god is everything somehow, then it literally is doing everything but nothing.

if god is a man in the sky, which is extremely improbable, then he has probably set the rules of science together and has let things go a while ago.

 

How are you sure?

 

God pounds ma ass into submission like it got caught robbing his house!

 

Is it possible for an anus to steal things?

 

it can steal souls

 

I think he sits in front of his computer and surfs the web for entertainment (us being the web)

 

ooooooo

 

A book told us that Jesus told us and then some people witnessed that he was resurrected as proof of his divinity, which could not happen unless god created everything. Deductive reasoning.

 

i can feel wonders of love and am softly amazed . i can give
myself to do god's will , and shall be small in the uncertainty of self
importance . It's odd . I just like to be love and to play with time
because it's easy .

i don't much think about what god does or doesn't do . this
is the strongest position of honest faith .

 

G-d inflicts pain on his servants .. right now G-d can suck my nine inch dick, since that all the cocksucker blessed me with..

 

Whatever I ask.
