You mean more like "In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth"- Genesis 1:1 Nope, I mean more like: Once upon a time there lived a beautiful princess in a big castle in an enchanted forest... Here is a much more accurate description God created all life, humans were brought into sin and death by the mis use of free will by Adam and Eve, Satan challenged the rightfulness of Jehovah God's way of ruling, calling into question whether humans could do better without divine guidance. Also, the motive of all humans for serving God was called into question by Satan, claiming humans would only serve God if he put a protective hedge about them The issue of God's sovereignty and humans is a universal matter, as even angels watch, the issue needs to be solved once and for all time God in essence has let Satan play out his challenge and let humans rule themselves to see if their way is better and in the mean time, Jehovah sent his Son to the earth to provide a ransom for those humans who would exercise faith and want to take Jehovah's side of the issue The culmination will be that God's Kingdom will rule the earth, bringing an end to all wickedness, including Satan, and will fully vindicate Jehovah NOW< THAT is a bit more accurate |

He made a perfect world where these creatures could live and where he could have communion with one particular creature, man, whom He loved. God had an enemy, satan, who He had also created, but who was turned very evil and wanted to destroy God. This enemy turned man against God, but God loved the man so much, that the Son portion of the Triune God agreed to come down to earth as a man and to act as the blood sacrifice to atone for the man's sin and to rule over the men who would accept Him and surrender to Him. God wrote The Bible, which documents the blood lineage of The Son, prophecies about the son and the future work of God through the nation/state that God created to bring His Son into the world called Israel and to tell the people about what He, God, had done for them. It's a Love Story of Epic Proportions. Christard and Lover of God |
