How can we be certain that God is the supreme, most high being? How can we (or even God) be sure that there is none greater?
Years ago, when I was agnostic, I assumed that if God were real, then of course there is not anyone or anything higher. I suspect most others have had a similar experience. However, I know that there are some people who have thought much, much more deeply than most into many topics relating to God, and they need answers with evidence to questions most of us have never even imagined. Those answers, with evidence, are coming!
Again, I do not believe what God taught me on this topic is his complete answer to this question. I’m sure there will be much more on this topic later.
Putting it as concisely as I’m able, here it is. God has done many things that would force an equal or greater being (if there were any) to intervene and reveal themselves. In many of those situations, they would have to intervene even if they knew exactly what God was doing and why he was doing it.
I am going to use the business owner analogy again, as it makes it easier for me to write about this.
If you were a business owner with need to demonstrate that you are the supreme authority of the business, you might try doing a very, very bad job of setting up and running that business—such a bad job that if there were some higher authority, they would definitely have to intervene.
You could demonstrate it in a way that might appear to be laziness or disinterest by not doing any work at all for a very, very long time. For example, before the business is even set up and ready to run, during a time when a higher authority (if there were one) would expect you to be very proactive and busy, you could spend your time doing nothing or doing things that are very contrary to what a higher authority (if there were one) would want. If there were any higher authority that wanted the business up and running, they would have to intervene.
In the past, after I became a believer, but before I knew God as well as I do now, I would often get a big creepy feeling when considering subjects such as this one. I remember how unpleasant that was, so I will share this truth now for the benefit of those who may be feeling such after reading this article. God is the supreme and most high authority over all. God is sovereign. There is not anyone or anything equal to or greater than God. God is good! God is great! There is no other like God. I know this absolutely!
God bless everyone!
