In a more in depth and deeper look at God when He created MAN, and WHY MAN is God's GREATEST creation.
Before you read, remember this; for all you Christians that think everything has to be backed up with a scripture, you are forgetting one thing. The Holy Bible does not possess ALL the answers. At least not in the way of everything specifically pin pointed by a scripture. Learning the HOLY BIBLE as a whole is the real goal. Once we truly have a true understanding of the Holy Bible as a whole, only then will we be able to grasp the realities of all that God is, and all that He is doing. If you are not yet there, DO NOT concern yourself... believe it or not, very few reach this pinnacle of knowledge, wisdom and understanding. But those who do are very eager to help those that have not yet. Remember; to learn about the love, knowledge, wisdom and understanding of God is “NOT” a competition. It is simply the greatest goal to set in the life of a human being! We should never cease in our search. If we truly wish to know God, then we must diligently seek answers. The only one we need to please is God Himself. Everything good and everything we need comes from and through Him.
No one is more important to God than anyone else. However, with the very same FREE WILL that God gave to each of us, many do seek beyond what others do. Here is a good one for you--> Matthew 7:7-8 “Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye. shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you: 8 For every one that asks will receive; and he that seeks shall find; and to him that knocks the door shall be opened.”... Now here below is my finding.
When God created “MAN”... MAN did not KNOW the characteristics of his own Creator. God created a perfect environment for them to live in. Not yet known to His new creation (MAN) was that God is PURE GOOD, PURE LOVE and ONLY in Him is there LIFE! God gave them a beautiful paradise in which to dwell. God gave this paradise a name; The “Garden of Eden”. In order to keep this beautiful paradise, God gave them just one requirement. When God made this beautiful paradise, He created fruit yielding trees for food. In the midst of this multitude of trees God made two that were of particular interest. The “Tree of LIFE”, and the “Tree of the KNOWLEDGE of GOOD and EVIL”. They were told they could eat from any tree except one. Out of everything God made in this paradise, everything was free for the taking. The TREE OF LIFE was not spoken of in the Holy Bible until after the pair were banished. That leads us to believe or wonder about that if God had not mentioned this tree's existence to them yet.
Let me take you off the Garden of Eden story for just a moment to build a foundation for understanding before we continue with our little story. I am going to open your eyes to a few things using scriptures so that you may get a better understanding as to all I will be speaking of. Everything here is perfectly in line with everything in the HOLY BIBLE. If you are a Christian, you are most likely familiar with this scripture... Mark 10:18 “Why do you call me good?" Jesus answered. "No one is good--except God alone.” ;) Have you ever wondered why God ALONE is GOOD? What does this mean? I have asked many preachers, there are many different answers. One said; “It is His nature to be Good”. Another said “Because God is HOLY”. These two were the most prominent of the answers I got. Others were not even worthy of my taking into consideration. But each of these replies were an extremely vague answer. I said to myself, maybe they just don't know and that is simply the best they could come up with. I already knew how God was working in me, I knew Matthew 7:7 “Seek and you WILL find”. So I started thinking. In my beginning of seeking about God, He led me in a way that I should always start from the essence of beginning for a better and more thorough understanding. So in this case I did that too. There is a KEY word here; “God ALONE is GOOD”. We know God is GOOD. But this scripture adds something. “ALONE”! God “ALONE” is GOOD”. That means that NO ONE else is good. So there must be a purpose for Jesus telling us this in the HOLY BIBLE. So I started looking for other things that God “ALONE” is. After looking at all the pertinent scriptures I came to the conclusion that God “ALONE” is ALL POWERFUL, and God “ALONE” is ALL KNOWLEDGE. So with that I saw the Good and Evil had nothing to do with “POWER”. However, like the name of the TREE of the “KNOWLEDGE” of GOOD and EVIL, God “ALONE” has ALL KNOWLEDGE! So God “ALONE” being “GOOD” had to do with ALL KNOWING. Then it just popped in my head. Before Lucifer went against God, there was no evil because EVIL is the opposite of God. And God makes everything good and perfect. That means there was also no word “GOOD”. Why? Because everything was good so there was no way to know what GOOD meant. There was nothing to compare it to in order to establish its meaning. “God alone is GOOD” because God ALONE knew of all that is opposite of all that He is. But because God is Himself pure LOVE, He also gives all He creates a FREE WILL.
The Holy Bible does tell us a lot with scriptures, but as we learn more and more, it becomes more like a crime scene and we have to look at scriptures as the clues as to “what is really going on”. So looking at three key scriptures we can see something unfold before our eyes. The three scriptures are.
1. Acts 15:18 “Known unto God are ALL his works from the beginning of the world.”
2. Job 42:2 “I know that you can do ALL things; no purpose of yours can be thwarted.”
3. Romans 8:28 “And we know that ALL things work together for good for those who love God, who are called according to his purpose”. The first one says
The first one, Acts 15:18 means that God already knows everything from beginning to end. That means there is a specific plan enacted here. The second one means that in this plan that He already knows all that will take place at every turn, nothing can change anything that He has planned (everything will take place exactly as He knows it, nothing new will ever take place). The third one means that there will be things that are not good, but for God's purpose it will need to take place for the greater good after the conclusion of His GRAND PLAN that has been enacted.
We all know that Lucifer did in-fact fool Eve, and her and the man did eat from the tree in which God commanded them not to eat. But remember Acts 15:18... Lucifer did not do anything that God did not already know he would do. Eve being fooled by Lucifer was also known by God and in Job 42:2, that means that Lucifer did not thwart God's plan. Do you know why it did not thwart it???? Because THAT was God's plan all along. Remember Romans 8:28? That means the fall was for a greater good. Now lets look at what took place after God punished them. Remember in the 6 days of creation each day ended with; “and God saw that it was GOOD.”
God made the male first. He made the female for a helper for the male. Genesis 2:20-22”And Adam gave names to all cattle, and to the fowl of the air, and to every beast of the field; but for Adam there was not found an help meet for him. 21 And the Lord God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam, and he slept: and He took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh instead thereof; 22 And the rib, which the Lord God had taken from man, made he a woman, and brought her unto the man.”
After the fall God punished the woman; Genesis 3:16 “Unto the woman He said, I will greatly multiply thy sorrow and thy conception; in sorrow thou shalt bring forth children; and thy desire shall be to thy HUSBAND, and he shall RULE OVER THEE.”
God punished the man. Genesis 3:23"So the LORD God banished him from the Garden of Eden to work the ground from which he had been taken."
Notice that the woman was not banished? But she become obedient to the man through her punishment; “Husband will RULE OVER THEE.” So to be technical that meant that she was to follow.
Now the Garden was GOOD. So when MAN was banished from the Garden they were banished out from it into the wilderness where nothing was known to the couple. In the big scheme of God's GRAND PLAN they were left with a very difficult but necessary task. They had to learn and seek the actual meanings of both good and truth. They were cast out where truth is not yet conjoined with good. This left a hole that only God could fill. Leaning about God from that day has been All part of His GRAND PLAN... God's GRAND PLAN is to eliminate EVIL throughout ALL of His creation for all eternity. God had to first expose EVIL (the Fall), then eliminate it (Jesus, the TRUTH of God). MAN is the tool which God created to initiate and complete this task. THAT is why MAN is God's greatest creation. O:)
