An
image to depict the idea “multiple spheres of life”
Today,
reply is on the operations of divinity as only a single source among
the many different frameworks that shape and structure human life,
and existence. The earth as a sphere of life has been created by
GOD; and while there are many fixed elements and features making up
the world system that man has created for survival, neither existence
nor life in the earth have been made to be predictable by mankind.
The causes and origins determining behavior, events, and occurrences
that make us appear as salt and light or error and darkness also
include appetite and emotion, evil (i.e., calamity; catastrophe;
upheaval), covetousness, finite human knowledge, mechanical and
natural law, misfortune, risk-taking, trial and error, inbred
wickedness as well as indwelling spirits that may be defiled and
profaned. Exchange, joining, interaction, and separation of the
discrete elements for life have resulted in diverse challenges,
recurring conditions, and fruits. It is written: Ecclesiastes 9:
10-12, King James Version (KJV): 10 Whatsoever thy hand findeth to
do, do it with thy might; for there is no work, nor
device, nor knowledge, nor wisdom, in the grave, whither thou goest.
11 I returned, and saw under the sun, that the race is not to
the swift, nor the battle to the strong, neither yet bread to the
wise, nor yet riches to men of understanding, nor yet favour to men
of skill; but time and chance happeneth to them all. 12 For man also
knoweth not his time: as the fishes that are taken in an evil net,
and as the birds that are caught in the snare; so are the sons
of men snared in an evil time, when it falleth suddenly upon them.
One of the fighters in the “Yahoo! Answers” public forum on
Religion & Spirituality who used the ID “Anonymous” (no

Why
does God allow murder, natural disasters, diseases, mental illness,
wars, cancer, fatal accidents, disabilities, evil and child abuse?
Could
he not stop them if he wanted to?
THE
GOLDEN ARROW: I am the LORD, and there
is none else, there is no God beside me: I girded thee,
though thou hast not known me: That they may know from the rising of
the sun, and from the west, that there is none beside me. I am
the LORD, and there is none else. I form
the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I
the LORD do all these things. Drop down,
ye heavens, from above, and let the skies pour down righteousness:
let the earth open, and let them bring forth salvation, and let
righteousness spring up together; I the LORD have
created it. Woe unto him that striveth with his Maker! Let
the potsherd strive with the potsherds of the earth. Shall the
clay say to him that fashioneth it, What makest thou? or thy work, He
hath no hands? Woe unto him that saith unto his father, What
begettest thou? or to the woman, What hast thou brought forth?
(Isaiah 45: 5-10, KJV)

“Anonymous”,
here are some points to consider: All do not acknowledge the
sovereignty of GOD; the events in human life are not all caused and
made to happen by divinity; and divinity should not be thought of as
the origin and source for all human experience. A mature
understanding of the spheres for life and the multiple frameworks for
human existence requires acceptance of many fixed conditions, diverse
operations consistent with the form and substance of material objects
as well as a realization of continuous motion that is directed and
harmonized with features that are not man-made, that are unseen, and
that nonetheless exert influence and power. In addition, to divine
prerogative, eternal purpose, sacred law, the sovereign will of GOD,
and the immutable, unchanging operations of divinity (we also say,
divine fullness; the Godhead; the Father, the Son, and the Holy
Spirit) whose makeup is Spirit and active presence, the
living are challenged to respond within life-frameworks that include
relying on secular knowledge and information that are
incomplete and unreliable, measurable dimension (i.e., form), finite
self-will (i.e., limited willpower), time and space, mechanical
process and natural law (we say, chemistry; history, physics,
politics, etc.), mortality, chance occurrences (i.e., bad and good
luck; unanticipated, unintended “random” events), and the
operations of sin. Sin is no spirit substance or material object put
forth by divinity; yet, sin has direction, effect, and presence.
Even though sin is irrational, and does not appear in accordance
with careful thought and healthy decision-making, the operations of
sin can dominate awareness and self-will within created beings and
living creatures. Sin promotes destruction, nonexistence, and a
return to the conditions of chaos, confusion, and corruption that
were in place before the founding of heaven and earth (we say,
preexistence). Sin opposes the continued existence of divine law,
the Lawgiver, and the universe produced through divine order. The
process of GOD appearing as Jesus Christ on the earth to alter the
impact of sin upon the living has required thousands of years, and
thousands of sacred events, within thousands of lives to bring us to
our present state of readiness to receive Christ at his appearing to
harvest those who are his from the earth (the Advent; the Rapture;
the Second Coming).
There
is far more that should be said, correctly examined, and spiritually
apprehended. (For example, consider the following from the
music ministry of Steve Amerson:

Even
so, I trust this fragment will be useful. Be it unto you according
to your faith.
