The Why Question about the Universe



The Bible is exciting because it has the answers
To questions even about the universe

Did you know that there are several dispensations

And the pre-Adamic dispensation dealt with Angels

As Free moral Agents and now it's about us men

 

In Genesis remember that God made man

To have dominion over all things

And hence the chief reasons for God's dealings with man

Is to bring him back to the place

Where he was before the Fall

 

Man is proud to create robots of machines

That he could cause to run forever

Without any choice of their own

 

How much more would man glory

If he could make something

After his own image and likeness

That could intelligently and willingly

Cooperate with him

In all matters to the common good of all

So he would not have to direct them

Artificial Intelligence is a step in that direction

And cloning is also known in some circles as a work of man

Not sure how much self -will they are given!

As surely any plan of the enemy is all about control

 

However if man could make free moral agents

He would naturally have to regulate and limit them

And hold them responsible

For their moral acts

Otherwise, they might rebel

And destroy man and rule in his place.

And is not this the same objection

Of what many fear that the path

of the transhumanist agenda would accomplish

Agents that would extinguish humans

To take their place

 

So it is with God

He made man a free moral and self-acting one

So God must also of necessity

Have some restrictions and limit the acts of man

In the best interest of all.

Otherwise man might rebel and destroy the Creator

And rule in His place.

This has already happened before in Bible days

When men with one language joined forces

To build the tower of Babel

And God had to come down to intervene

God's dealings with man must be on the basis

Of such a cooperative plan

For the common welfare of all

Or His universe would become

Chaotic and could not continue

 

God's dealings with free moral agents

Is in holiness and absolute justice

Giving God a sound basis

Of punishing rebels who refuse to conform to the plan

Since they have refused all merciful dealings

Have hardened themselves against all that is holy and good

There is nothing else for God to do

But mete out justice according to deeds committed

For the continued good of society, forever.

Rebels in everlasting Hell

Will be an eternal monument

Of God's wrath toward sin

In order to cause coming generations

To conform to the highest good

Of their own good and of the universe.

 

Why should not God punish rebels who persist

In destroying themselves and the eternal society

Planned by God?

Why should not God bless all who voluntarily

And wholeheartedly cooperate with society?

This plan of rewarding obedience

And punishing disobedience is the only just plan

And is the only one that could be used

With free moral agents.

Everyone can be blessed if he so desires

Or can be cursed if that is his choice.

Therefore, punishment is not compulsory for anyone.

It is the free choice of that individual,

And he alone is to blame for his eternal choice and destiny.

And of blessing those who do conform

God's will is that none should be lost.

 

Justice and righteousness must prevail

Or no society can be eternally preserved

In the universe
