The first sin. Right?
My question is why was the tree with the fruit of knowledge even there if man was not supposed to take sustenance of it?
Consider this:
I as a lowly man, know if I do not want my children playing with something, I put it out of their reach.
It only makes sense, right?
Wouldn't a God have a higher understanding?
Why was the tree with the fruit of knowledge even available if it was not meant to be found?
We are talkin bout God here, not yer average human being.
Maybe I'm missing something?
It just only makes sense if you don't want yer kids playing with something ya don't put it where they can get to it.
Consider this, Perhaps man was intended to partake in the fruit of knowledge and is intended to use that knowledge in a quest to reach a desired level of understanding?
If that is the intention, where is the sin?
How do we know when we have reached the intended target?
Perhaps the tree of knowledge we have been warned about is not a sin but a way to find grace in the eyes of our creator?
What if we are expected to become more than what we are now?
What if the whole purpose of life is to achieve an understanding that is currently unknown to us?
What if we are still in learning mode?
There are PEOPLE that would like you to believe you are a sinner.
There are people that want you to believe the end is upon us.
What if we are only a fraction of the way we are supposed to go?
How could you know?
Is that man that tells you he is holy to actually be believed?
Is the scripture intended as the single most word on the will of the creator or is it a transcript of how man has interpreted its meaning?
Where do you draw the line?
At what point do YOU try to interpret the mind of God?
What gives you the authority?
Consider this:
Humanity has in effect, proliferated to 6.8 billion souls.
Is there any reason why a God would want this?
Unless we haven't reached the point God intended us to be?
I mean, we're talking about God right, not a politician.
A God that put all of existence into reality.
Created the heavens and the Earth.
A God that is able to create everything from nothing.
This God, able to do all that, MUST be able to govern its own creation.
If not, Is it really God?
As it is, reality, I have a lot of trouble with some of the ideas that make up the foundation of my belief.
Sadly, I watched a film tonight that tried to suggest that we are at the limits of God's intentions. (Summerland Project aka Amelia 2.0)
The issue I have is not with the statement but with the implication.
How could any man know the actual will of God?
Why should we believe any man that claims to know to will of God?
At what point do we draw the line?
How can we ever know the actual word of God?
Perhaps, we were never meant to?
Perhaps, we are only supposed to know the word of man?
Perhaps, we are only intended to know what we need to know to advance to a level at which God has originally intended.
Perhaps when we reach that level of understanding, God will no longer be a question?
Who really knows?
