Mankind – A God of His Own Existence?
In the Garden of Eden Satan wanted to divorce man from God, and how did he do it? He used Adam and Eve and deceived them by appealing to the pleasure of believing themselves as a God. Ever since then mankind has desired to be the God of his own existence (either individually or collectively as a group) whereby he seeks to enjoy pleasures while forgoing any consequence or responsibility. When a man becomes a God of his own existence he essentially repudiates the idea of a true God and instead substitutes himself as being a God unto himself.
The sin of man, the desire to be a God, starts with his divorce from God in the Garden of Eden. There in the Garden Satan, who had already divorced himself from God by virtue of his own sin, indulged his contempt for God by deceiving God's creation to sin and perpetuate the divorce ritual. In fact that first divorce in the Garden of Eden is repeated throughout man's existence where now people do little else but plan their divorce.
Politicians court potential voters with promises of moral principled decisions but then divorce them when they throw in with special interests to further man's corrupt self-serving nature. Businesses lure customers to purchase their product or service but then divorce them with little regard for product quality or longevity. The news media appeals to a person's hunger for truth only to divorce them by providing a tainted truth by interjecting a high degree of factual amnesia and outright manipulation to project a political ideology. Woman and men are always portraying themselves as a source of pleasure to each other only to divorce each other when responsibility comes calling. And children beg for pleasure only to divorce responsibility when it comes time to follow a principled conduct.
Throughout life we learn that many people love to share their pleasures but balk at the thought of sharing any responsibility (the spirit of evil). Sadly Christianity has fallen into this trap whereby they use the Bible to appeal to the sinful mind of man with promises of financial and lifestyle equality that nullifies any personal responsibility.
People wonder why God, if he is so loving, would leave us in a world where there is so much hardship, heartache and inequality. When one looks at the bible critically one sees that once man was granted his divorce from God in the Garden of Eden, God did not let man wander off and forget all about the God who created everything. A sinful man desires only one thing, to be the God of his own existence, where he alone determines all of his pleasures and responsibilities. But God put man in a world where he cannot become the God of his own existence and his conduct is therefore wrought with difficulties and responsibilities to deny him this delusion of being a God of his own existence that would offer him no resistance or consequence to his pleasures.
Nowadays christian churches seem hellbent on appealing to man's sinful desire to be the God of his own existence in an effort to get him to acquiesce to a brief in a higher sovereign deity by treating God as some sort of spiritual servant when we pray to God as if he were a waiter.
God will assist man to be responsible but not for man to be a God of his own existence whereby man could still indulge his pleasures and God is only summoned to effect 'a healing' whenever we suffer any negative consequences for our sinfulness.
It seems we welcome God only to clean up the mess left behind by all of our sinful feasts. Man may be able to see himself as a God (through the knowledge of good and evil) and convince himself that he is in fact a God of his own existence, but God will not let him become that God. (But man will try anyway)
God Bless
note:
Economic and social justice is a Satanic ruse where man convinces himself that he alone can impart equality that resembles a God like utopia. Man suffers inequality for the very reason man desires equality, because of his sinful desire to be a God of his own existence. Once man achieves equality he can, and will, render God as a figment of a discredited religious philosophy. Who needs a God once we achieve a God like utopia of perfect equality.
Adam and Eve sinned and divorced God trying to be equal with God. Is is interesting that men and women now divorce each other simply because they feel that they are no longer compatible, or equal with each other. When Satan thought that he was now equal with God he looked upon God with contempt and divorced him. Equality is not a utopia but a curse for all those who try to achieve it.
Man is offered equality in only one regard, that is the equality of forgiveness offered by the death and resurrection of the Son Of God, Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ died on the cross to offer all of mankind forgiveness equally, irrespective of any works or ritual. Accept Jesus Christ now as your savior and gain the ONLY equality that God offers mankind, the forgiveness for ALL of our sins.
Do it now!
Amen
