Do you ever wonder why we are in this state of sin? I understand that Adam and Eve rebelled against God, but why do you think God let's things be the way they are? I've often wondered if He is separating the wheat from the chaff. There are so many that never seek Him out. Many don't believe in Christ and never will. God is clear on what happens to them. What are your thoughts on this?

"The word of the LORD came to me: "Son of man, you are living among a rebellious house.
They have eyes to see but do not see, and ears to hear but do not hear, for they are a rebellious house.'' The Old Testament Book and Scroll of the Prophet EZEKIEL Ezekiel: 12: 1-2 Ezekiel Dramatizes the Exile: Exile on Earth; Exile from the Kingdom of Heaven |

The Old Testament Book and Scroll of the Prophet EZEKIEL Ezekiel: 12: 1-2 Ezekiel Dramatizes the Exile: Exile on Earth; Exile from the Kingdom of Heaven Thanks for the scripture. I agree man is rebellious. What are your personal thoughts though?

We exists for God's enjoyment. Many unbelievers have a hard time accepting this. Perhaps my understanding is more simplistic than most, but we all have the same nature as Adam and Eve and all would rebel and are incapable of not rebelling. Yet we exist for His delight. As any Father loves his children, even if they are rebellious, His love continues. God allows it even though much of what His children do brings Him pain, still more of what His children do brings Him joy. My kids drive me nuts far more than half the time, but I love them dearly. Same concept imho.

I agree man is rebellious. What are your personal thoughts though? There was a war in heaven. The Bible does seem to indicate that spiritual man was there same as the spiritual angels that were there in an interval or section before the, "Beginning," did occur and so forth. The Bible states that Jesus did in fact tell the Pharisees that at one time that he did in fact call them, "gods." In the kingdom of God the Bible also clearly states that there is an eternally existing , "assembly of the gods," also. There is other evidence for eternal spiritual man in several readings and teachings which can be brought forth from the unadulterated word of God also. There are several worldly accounts of exile and as the exodus of the Israelites which also stands as an example of the lives that all must endure while at home in our, earthly tents, dwellings, or tabernacles, which we live in during out temporary stay here on earth. Anything that you bind on earth will be likewise bound in heaven or has already been bound to a conclusion whether initiated in either place according to the eternal loop and the creation process of God. Occurrences and reoccurrences in the kingdom of God will continue to happen and re-happen until all things become fulfilled. This is the law and these things must take place for proper and righteous judgment to take place. God is right in even allowing the bad and even horrible to happen upon the earth even if they were to happen to me or someone dear to me. Once the kingdom of God was defiled through rebellion, it is only a natural circumstance that out of the super-natural that the earth would also become corrupted too. Remember the curse is on man and applies to planet also. The war fell out of heaven onto the earth and here we are in it too. It is not solely about a struggle between God and Satan, but a struggle between God, Satan, and the rest of the intelligent creation that God pre-ordained to be in the fight between what is right and about what God has proven through this warfare to be either right or wrong about anything! No quarter or mercy to the enemy and to the victor goes the entire spoils as we expect the same out of them! We will overcome and with honors through Christ Jesus our Lord and Savior! "In Him," the full armor of God! He is our eternal King of Kings and the LORD of all Lords! We have all fallen short of the glory of God. The Battle belongs to the LORD. Think about this for awhile. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xcFNFxoe-s8 |

I just hope god set his dvr so he can watch some of the dumb shit we do when we are gone. Yes, we've all done some pretty silly and outlandish things in our lives. Comparisons must be made I suppose. How would we know what was wrong if we always did what was absolutely right? Should we know what is right over wrong? Most of us only have a fairly basic consciousness according to some of the next level stuff that is out there right? It seems that the knowledge is endless because its source is endless also. Great observation! Good stuff! |

What are your thoughts on this? Suppose someone says "Hey, I'm the best basket ball player around". Suppose someone says they aren't. How can the truth of this be known without going to the hoops? And suppose an entity creates a universe and angels and such and says he is the pinnacle of wisdom, love and justice. Suppose someone says he isn't... how can it be proved without some trial? The bible says he is making a name for himself ("And who is like your people Israel--the one nation on earth that God went out to redeem as a people for himself, and to make a name for himself, and to perform great and awesome wonders by driving out nations and their gods from before your people"). He says it an in this context I believe that we are created for his glory ("everyone who is called by my name, whom I created for my glory, whom I formed and made.”) I'm generally of the opinion that our creation and existence is a part of his trial, a trial of himself before all creation. |
