What your saying doesn't make any sense to me. We both have different beliefs about God. So stick to yours while I stick to mine.
My own god is an intelligent being behind existence of all life. The God of the Jews.
This people are all atheists in disguise!
With their own hands they made their gods {Psalms 115:4} if you listen intelligently to him you will find out that everything in his head is all about material possessions so it's money that determines his what his god says so his god is nameless, worthless, hopeless, soundless, helpless and that's what he expected from all gods! Psalms 115:5-8 wink

Me and my wife had an argument this morning.
God is all knowing and before creating Adam and even, He know what they would do. He knew they would be Tempted and they would eat the fruit and bring Sin to the world and He also knows that His son would have to die in order to save us from the sin caused by the fruit
Why didn't He just make the fruit inaccessible to them so they don't eat it.
But instead He Allowed them to get access to the fruit, eat and bring sin to the world.

Mind you, He's all knowing and He knows all this would happen before they did. He knew Satan would tempt them and they will fall, He also knew that He would have to curse them when they eat the fruit.

Why not just prevent this by making the fruit inaccessible to them. That's the logical thing to do




This is my belief. The tree of knowledge was planted as a wager between God and satan. God defended the obedience of his creation but satan threw his bet on man seeking independence from God so the tree was a test and man failed. And since that failure man has sought to do what is right in their own eyes and not the will of God. God knows all things hence He sees all the possible timelines of any entity. Hence it is just for God to allow free moral agents to choose which timeline they would like to live and face the consequences. So if you are arguing within the Judeao-Christian worldview it is perfectly logical for God to be all knowing and yet watch Adam and Eve sin. A righteous judge does not advocate for whoever is to be judged. So even if God sees all possible timelines, He as a judge must allow you to choose the timeline you would like to live and in the case of Adam, he chose to fall and he suffered the consequence.

First and foremost,God has no material or physical form. God is the totality of the consciousness of the universe fully embodied..

Secondly the Adam and Eve story is a recast of an earlier Babylonian epic about Adapa, it tells how man lost the chance to dwell indefinitely on earth. That's is just what the story teaches, if you want to learn about the different layers on meaning in the story join the Kabbalah...
In the original tale there where two trees, the tree of good and the tree of evil, Ninghiszida was the serpent of the good tree and Dimuzi was the serpent of the evil tree, and any where you see Dimuzi, inanna is not far behind..
Adam simply means man

And Eve means woman.

There where more than 1 pair of humans created by God.

No physical form but it’s is embodied. Ah, the god of contradictions.

How about half embodied half disembodied?

God is the partially embodied consciousness of the mass energy balance of the fully embodied universe.

How about the totality of the matter of the universe fully disembodied?

How about God has no immaterial or material form?

God is the multiplicity of the trifecta of the infinite, the immaterial, and the timeless………..partially embodied grin

Is there anything wrong in thinking about money and wanting to be bastardly rich?

Nature itself is filled with ABUNDANCE - the fact that one seed can grow and multiply in thousands of seeds is proof of this.

Poverty is only an appearance.

The true reality is ABUNDANCE.

You're correct!
Abundance for all not when someone is trying to acquire everything then expecting others to serve him like his slaves. Surely he will need to go extra mile to protect himself from the same people he has drained.
So surplus only makes sense when it's distributed evenly! smiley

OK

When folks mention God's Love, I want to tell them that when God buried about 14,000 israelites under the desert sands for their stiffneckedness, that was Love in action. When God part the red sea and buried the Egyptian army in it, that was also Love in action. God is Love and everything He does is Love. undecided

That's because it is a rubbish story that never happened.
The writers tried to make a point with the story but forgot about the many loopholes in it.
If any human on earth who is thought to be smart, intelligent and wise were to make such poor decision, people will conclude he's not as smart as they thought he was.
Imagine knowing the future and having the power to prevent mishaps, but still go ahead to make mistakes, na confirm mumu be that na. grin
Anyone with an open mind knows deep down that the whole of Genesis in the bible doesn't add up. Na small small una go realize the truth.

If He knew that they would disobey. There are 2 things

1: He won't have created them
2: He would remove the thing that would make the sin. Since he knew they would disobey even if He instructed them not to eat it


It's like lighting a candle and telling a stubborn child not to play with the candle. You know the child is stubborn and won't hear. And you know if the child plays with the candle, he would burn down the house.
The best thing is to remove the candle so the child won't have anything to play with. It's that simple

But there are a billion things obeying Him for eternity. Isn't He free to make/do something different?

It is not only the fear of God that suggest you have wisdom... You can take certain life changing decisions muddled with intelligence and action according to your good book

Proverbs 20:1
Wine is a mocker and beer a brawler; whoever is led astray by them is not WISE.

Proverbs 29:11
A fool gives full vent to his anger, but a WISE man keeps himself under control.

Proverbs 29:15
To discipline a child produces WISDOM, but a mother is disgraced by an undisciplined child.
