Must admit I didn't read many of the postings but here's my 2 cents. There is an interesting saying which goes something like this...There is a way that man thinketh right but leadeath to death. Although science gives us so much understanding it gives us way more questions than answers. Evolution, a scientific theory, is full of good rational concepts and theories but it's just not even close to the truth. God is the source of all our discoveries and truth. Truth is revealed little by little and unfortunatly when scientist or mankind get a little truth they just assume the rest or maybe that's unfair they reach in the dark and make conclusions that seem right with their present understanding but will lead to death or spiritual death that is. We are created but not in the way most understand the word created. We didn't come from nothing. The correct word is organized. We have always existed, us and God. We are all intelligences. The universe is made up of only two things which are intelligences and matter. Things that act upon things and things that are acted upon. Scientist are getting closer to knowing this with the studies in quantum mechanics and string theiory. Although we are all intelligences we are among or part of a spectrum of intelligences. The goal of all intelligences is happiness. Having all truth and being able to live with that knowledge brings happiness or fufillment. Thats the purpose of life. God is perfect and well alot more than that but we were orpanized so that we could be perfect like God someday. We must learn or grow in intelligence by using our free will on this world and in the life to come to develop righteous behavior. The purpose of our creation (organization) is to give us the opportunity to develop virtue to grow in wisdom and understanding. Like a weight lifter at the gym needs weights to grow muscle we need trials and temptations to grow our muscles of virtue. Well I'll just end by saying evolution is a pretty neat theory and well I must admit has pretty good convincing story and (too many ands if know) as some truth to it, it just wrong and for those who old on to those misconceptions too tightly it will lead to death. Spiritual death. This is fun (please forgive the spelling mistakes and bad grammar)  Sudz Boy Joined: 7/9/2006 Msg: 104 (view)   The tree of Life Posted: 7/10/2006 3:35:22 PM Hi, I'm new to this forum stuff. And although this thread doesn't seem to be interesting anyone anymore I just wanted to reply to this last posting. This is my first time responding to a posting so I'll try to keep it brief. I should say that I don't mean to offend anyone but I might so get over it. OK consider this. God never created Adam and Eve in the sense that he made them out of nothing. The word created comes from the bible which was translated incorrectly. It should have read organized. So the theory goes God organized Adam and Eve from intelligence and matter the two basic things in the universe. (that's another theory I might share at some later point) When he created Adam and Eve they were internal just like all intelligences. However they did not know the difference between good and evil. (they did not know alot of things) To keep a long story short they were innocent and pure. While they were in the garden of Eden they did not need to eat and they did not age. Ok so what's going on why would God tell them not to eat from the tree and even more why would he put the tree there if he didn't want them to eat from it? Again to keep it short it comes down to temptation and free will. Man it's tough to be short believe me I'm trying. Ok God new that Adam and Eve could not have children while in their innocence and well he wanted them to have children so that more intelligences could come to an earth and learn and develop etc...(another theory for another time) so God could not force Adam and Eve to become mortal s even though he knows this is the only way they could feel real joy (because an innocent intelligence doesn't know evil or hurt or sadness etc therefore it cannot know joy)and have mortal children so what God did was place a choice (temptation) in their environment which God new they would succomb to so that they would be able to have children and fulfill the replenish the earth commandment he gave them. It may sound like God set them up but what he did was give them an opportunity to grow and develop and at the same God gave us all the same blessing. So to summarize which is tough when I know I missed out a bunch of stuff...God did tell them not to eat from the tree but the bible doesn't really relay the whole story. God told them that if they would eat from the tree they would become mortal and die some day. And well the devil did do what God expected and tempted them to eat but it was all part of his plan. Like I said I know I'm leaving out a bunch of stuff but this is the good part of the picture or theory I believe so let me know what you think. CTR   Show ALL Forums
