Kazydi Priestley Fushigi na Butterfly I'm pretty sure God did subject Himself to the natural when He stepped down into our world. He abided by all natural, physical laws except when it came to battling the Enemy and showing God's love. You know I don't believe that Jesus was God, right?Ok, now I'm confused. I don't mean to start an argument, and if I do, I apologize and will step down, but I really have to ask this. Why are you a moderator of a Christian guild if you don't believe that Jesus was God? That's a huge part of the Christian faith. I'm not knocking your moderator skills, I just wanted to know. neutral (It's hard to tell my tone over the internet, but I'm really not trying to be sarcastic in any way. I'll be happy to answer your questions via PM if you're interested, since they're not relevant to the thread.

Priestley freelance lover Though, someone correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't God generally referred to as the Lord of Heaven and Earth. What of Satan's domain? Doesn't the current system of things belong to him?
The thing here is, I don't really believe in Satan or his domain in the traditional Christian way. I see Satan more as a general personification of the evil in the world which is generally caused by people's abuse of free will.
As to where "hell" is for lack of a better term, I honestly haven't given it much thought. Maybe they really do live in the center of the earth like in the cartoons, maybe the wander the earth as spirits, maybe they cease to exist. I'm more concerned with this life than the next. Though, I will say I believe God is not present wherever "hell" is because I believe that hell is meant for people who reject God. They do not want him in their life, so he sends them somewhere where he will not be present. As to the logistics of that, don't ask me.
I do believe that if God so wished to subject himself to natural laws he could very well do so. As Fushigi said, he did so with Jesus, but then you said you don't see Jesus as God, so that point is kind of null and void. But that's basically how I view it.
As to the walking on water miracle, I believe Jesus truly did walk on water. Because he was divine, he was not subject to natural laws, even though he chose to fall in line with them most of the time. I believe this was simply a means of making God more familiar to the people Jesus preached to. I do take his miracles literally though.
