Re: to blind new agers
Greetings severestormsteve1.
"3 Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field which the Lord God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden?
2 And the woman said unto the serpent, We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden:
3 But of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die.
4 And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die:
5 For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil.
6 And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat."
I don't disagree with you regarding the verses needin g to be looked at closer for they do indeed show us that we depend on Lord Jehovah not that we are God. What happens however when you power-hungry people together vying for the top spot? Did not the great Lucifer himself try to overthrow Lord Jehovah as God of all? Certainly he did and man followed suit. Take any verse out of context and you can make it say whatever you want to. Give someone your favour and more often than not, they will betray you in the worse way possible; even rejecting/denying your very existence. Lord Jehovah favoured Lucifer and Lucifer fought and was cast out of heaven. Lord Jehovah favoured Adam and Eve; first Eve then Adam betrayed Lord Jehovah. However, they did so I believe out of curiosity and because they were tempted. Tell a small child not to play with fire or breakable objects and I bet they'll do so because 'let's do what Mommy and Daddy told us not to because it's exciting'. I don't truly believe they intentionally set out to break Lord Jehovah's commandment to not eat of the tree of knowledge. The 'ye shall be as gods' is certainly a powerful tool of temptation; who wouldn't want to have the same knowledge as Lord Jehovah? Imagine what you could do with that knowledge if you had it? Although you wouldn't be God, you could certainly set yourself up as a dictator and enforce the rule that all must address you as Lord God or my creator/destroyer.
"22 And the Lord God said, Behold, the man is become as one of us, to know good and evil: and now, lest he put forth his hand, and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live for ever:
23 Therefore the Lord God sent him forth from the garden of Eden, to till the ground from whence he was taken."
To sum up, even though man is not God, many believe that they are God and no matter what others will say, it won't make any difference. Do I myself believe that I am God? I certainly believe that I as ar e all of us are one therefore of Lord Jehovah God or should I say created by Lord Jehovah. I'd even go so far as to say that I as are all of us are divine sparks, I'd even go so far as to say that we're godlings; belonging to the same spiritual family. However, I cannot in truth believe that I am God due to the fact that I do not have the power to create out of nothing; I have to have something to create with be it material components or even thoughts to create music but it must be something. Builders need bricks, painters need canvas and paint; bakers need flour; bards need imagination; spirits need willpower but Lord Jehovah creates out of nothing.
Kind regards, Amin Abdullah.
