God is Not Invisible Part 2

The majority of people have the wrong idea of what God really is. In part one, we saw how it is apparent that the God or gods who created man is not invisible, has some sort of material body and is even genetically compatible with man. This is all evident from the writings in the Bible alone and nothing outside the Bible.

In this part, we’ll see more evidence of the likeness to man that God is. It is taught in many religions that God is all-powerful, all-knowing and in all places at the same time. Remember, we’re talking about the god that created Man.

In the very first book that talks about the creation of Man, God gets tired and has to rest from the is work on the seventh day of creation. If God didn’t have a physical body with the “likeness” of Man who was created in His image and with his likeness and is all powerful, how is it that he is getting tired? You might say it’s all symbolic and not literal. Well, the Creation story is taught in church as a literal story and in some religions people are supposed to keep the Sabbath or the seventh day out of respect to the day that God rested from his work.

God is not Invisible Part 1

The majority of people have a completely erroneous idea of who or what “God” is. The following inferences are extracted from the phrase in Genesis 1, which says “And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness…” in its literal form. Continue reading

The Story of Creation

My analysis of the story of creation is based on the assumption that the story is actually literal. However, what we know and understand about reality and what is literal is much different than what is revealed in the biblical story of creation. There are many points in the story that make it obviously metaphorical. If the story of creation is literal then… Continue reading

The Great Plan Part 5

Does Man Actually Have Freedom of Choice? The concept of “free choice” was never completely a part of God’s Plan for Man, at least not in the beginning. It seems free choice was a very small part of the plan. Whether we realize it or not, God has a very active influence on the nature of our decisions. Continue reading

The Great Plan Part 4

The Whole Idea Behind the Plan The reason for the whole creation, as it relates to Man, is to provide a whole experience for Man and in the end God and man finally live together as one. That all be one, as thou, Father, in me, and I in thee, that also they in us be one; that the world believe, that thou hast sent me. (Jn 17:21) Continue reading

The Great Plan Part 3

It sounds like that from the very beginning of creation it was all a part of God’s plan for the woman to be subject to the man and her desire to be to him — at least according to what was written in the Bible. Also a part of the plan was for man to have to work all of his life and then at the end of life to die.

If man didn’t die and he just kept on multiplying, the Earth would have been overpopulated thousands of years ago. In fact, all of nature is involved in a natural cycle of birth, life and death. Wouldn’t it stand to reason then that man, being a part of nature, would follow the same path? Continue reading

The Great Plan Part 2

The Curse? It is said that God put a curse on man because he disobeyed God. I did a search for the word ‘curse’ In the third chapter of Genesis and the only two places that the word was actually used was where He cursed the serpent and then He cursed the ground. But He never directly uses the word curse with the man or with the woman. This is the (supposed) result of the woman’s disobedience: Continue reading

The Great Plan Part 1

They start with the assumption that God didn’t know what He was doing when He created man and man was a perfect, sinless creature who “fell from grace” and was cursed. They assume that God expected Man to be perfect and live forever, but he blew it — he went and sinned! He screwed the whole thing up for all the rest of us!

It seems (from most Christians’ point of view) that God did not expect man to disobey and eat from the forbidden tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil and that man did know the difference between what was right and wrong. This couldn’t be further from the truth! Continue reading
