In the beginning, God created...
Aren't we quite conceited to believe that our home and heaven have shared a coetaneous growth? How then do we explain man's disregard for his current home, with any false hope of achieving membership into God, her son, and the angels' home? God created light, the oceans, and rivers, along with the sky, then land, whether it be desert or mountains, trees, plants, and all types of vegetation. She then created day and night, created the stars and the moon to illuminate and protect all from the darkness. She then created animals, to roam the land, fish to swim in the waters, and birds to soar in the sky. After all this, she created man.
Now, if one were to read the parable of our creation literally. I mean, if one were to actually pay attention to ALL of the words in this section of Genesis, one would know, that God, in the very words of the Bible, wanted man to be vegan. She declared that man would rule over the animals, fish, and the birds, but that every seed that creates a plant that bears fruit, would be for man and animal alike. This is a perspective I've gained recently and while not my main point here, it's relevant in the complex nature of this argument.
So let's get to where my mind is this morning. If one reads the Bible, even the story of Jesus is about man's ability to adapt, whether through hard work, simple faith, or miracles. If one reads the entire Bible or any other "good" book, man's insistence on individuality, ego, and, for lack of a better word, progress, is proof that man cannot truly admit God's omnipotence. For every advancement, whether it be the creation of fire, the ability of locomotion or flight, to enhancements in science, industry, and technology is a blight on God's power. One can try to reason that it is God's will, but then one might wonder why God would allow man the false belief he had come closer to godliness. Maybe, if God does exist, this is the true test.
It appears, through time, whenever man produces that which was once thought unachievable or even needing of a miracle, religious faith languishes in correlation. Might this be our true test? What if God gives us the knowledge, reason, and the tools to create what was once thought achievable only through divine intervention, to test our faith? True faith should not waver whether it be during times of hardship or great success. So why, do we now live in a world, that claims to be holy or spiritual, with so many claiming allegiance to their faith and their god, while simultaneously destroying his first creation and ignoring all that was achieved in those first six days?
When you look at the Earth now, in comparison to just a decade or so ago, do you see faith in God's creation or dereliction of duty on our part, to observe, uphold, and show obedience and love for the very first thing he created? If one believes that God created the Earth for us, even neglecting the obvious contradiction of destroying animals for human pleasure, then why do we care so little about it? Is it our faith that allows us to disregard God's message or is it something else? Are we not gods now, if we can create all that she has created in our material universe? One who thinks this could never have faith and one that believes in Heaven could never sit back and allow what is happening. What if our lone test to get into heaven is to physically grow, through all that God has given, and to work to leave all that we have taken, is replenished for those we have, through God's will, left to rule of her Earth. Would any of us pass this test? Not anyone I know.
