So here is a theory I have proposed. I have shared it with some people. Some disagreed, some found it amusing, very few said , it could mean something. It could just be a figment of my imagination. But nonetheless I thought it would be worth sharing.
If you are a religious person, id supposed or rather take for granted that you believe that God exists. Well the account for my theory is based on Christianity specifically. I cannot judge for other religions.
So God created us. I want to believe He did, but with what purpose. The bible says to love our God with all that is within us and to love our neighbour as our self. But I often wondered if this was just a test by which God wanted to ascertain something. This thought troubled me and I tried piecing together random parts of the bible trying to find the answer. Maybe I’ve got it wrong; maybe there wasn’t the need to ascertain the fact at all. But I’m curious by nature J
The bible says that God had his angels with him even before the world was created. There were millions of them I supposed. They were designed to serve God all the days of their lives. But then one day Mr Lucifer decided to do things a bit differently. Lucifer, yea I’m talking about the devil himself. He was one of highly revered angels among God’s troop and held a very high position. He one day decided to defy God. He wanted what God had. He wanted to be God! But of course God would not allow that. So Lucifer was banished (or chose to leave, not too sure about that).
Well up till here everyone who calls themselves a Christian knows this story. But I want to elaborate or rather try and imagine what might have happened after that. The story:
So Lucifer now had drawn God’s wrath upon him and he told God that now that he has been asked to leave he would make a deal with God. All the other angels who were watching this were shocked at the change of scene; God’s beloved angel was challenging him. So Lucifer told God that He was to leave then he wanted a part of angels to leave with him. He wanted his own entourage to rule over. But God was not so easily moved. He told Lucifer, if that is what he wants, he should let the angels decide for themselves. But Heaven was a place where the angels were not aware of good or evil. They were very pure beings, very holy. So decided to create an environment where they could exercise free will. A contained space where God could watch closely those who really wanted to follow Him and those wanted to take to Lucifer’s path.
God created the world in seven days (says the Bible), but for God (as the bible says) one day is like many years in the life of a person. So I would like to believe that it is a few million human years which should sort of support the big bang theory. Come to think of the theory , even if what exists today popped out of one single atom , I would like to believe that something out there ( I believe its God himself) gave it the touch of energy that was required to produce our beautiful universe. Eventually our earth was created and god made man and woman… But they were like any other creature out there, fending for themselves. Wild things. “Then God breathed life into these beings”.. yea He put some soul into them! He introduced the divine energy that we call angels into every living man and woman. Our bodies were so awesomely designed to decide what write and wrong, but our souls ultimately decided whether we stick to the right or we stick to the wrong. I believe our conscience is our soul. I don’t believe that any animal or insect possess a soul. What we ‘need’ is determined by our worldly bodies. What we ‘want’ is determined by our souls.
Ok so that was a bit of hard talk. If you don’t sorta agree with what I have written so far, then read no further. Cause otherwise you would want to argue with me and I’m no good with arguments and since this theory is something that I have imagined, I’d say chill.
Continuing. We are living on planet earth, eating sleeping, doing whatever. And we are faced with a lot of decisions. In the meantime Mr Lucifer of course has his ploys. He is constantly on the move . He works through subtle temptations. He is also figured out ways of penetrating our conscience ( our pure side),telling us in a gentle manner that its ok to do evil. One bite , what harm can it do. But one bite everyday then ads and you find yourself in a terrible situation only when it too late . then you know that he has trapped you. But its too late. It was part of the deal. God had told him that he would let the people decide for themselves, Hell or Heaven.
Now don’t turn around and tell me it’s the devil’s fault. He planted the seed no doubt , but YOU made the choices.. YOU and YOU alone. CHOICES.. That the freedom we have! That is the ultimate freedom.
In the old testament of the Bible, a lot of people lost track of how to make choices. A lot of people forgot that there were two greater beings watching closely to see which side they would head. God felt sorry for all the people that were making the wrong choices. He said I think it’s time I sent someone out there to give them a reality check. So Jesus his chosen Son was sent to earth. Now you might ask , God should have probably shown himself with a some thunder and flash of lights and people would be jolted back into doing good. But that would have kinda defeated the purpose for which he sent us to earth in the first place. People had to still choose you see. So jesus came as a humble being , born to a carpenter family. And eventually people came to know that he was God’s son . Not everyone believed , but he knew that he had planted a seed and that it would grow and people would be aware. And our devil here ofcourse had to interfere again. He even tried to tempt Jesus one day by telling him that if He bowed down to the devi l, then he would give him all the land that was seen up till the horizon ( the scene in which this event takes place is on top of a mountain). But Jesus refuses. And the devil torments him but he comes out the situation by God’s grace. Later on after 33 years of preaching and teaching Jesus died on the cross. But he left a promise, That whosoever believes in Him( Jesus) will find their way to heaven. Yet again a choice. Those who believed in Him , when they died , their next destination was heaven.
Ah now you might be thinking, what happened to judgement day. I was coming to that.
I believe that outside this body of ours , outside this universe, there does not exist a dimension called TIME. Because if it did , then God couldn’t have created our world in seven days (this part is debatable, I have yet to find proof).So when we die , God talks about a day when He shall come back again and all the dead will rise and He will pass judgement on them. I think that when we die , our souls are free from the dimension of time. Our souls face judgement the minute we die. SO yea as you are reading this , some dead peoples souls are being judged! (I do not mean to scare you)
So when our souls go back to God , we give an account of all that we have done in the environment that we were placed in. We give an account of all the good and all the bad CHOICES we have made. And then God decides whose party you join. The devil doesn’t really need your company. He just enjoys torturing souls. That’s his hobby or so I hear. On the other hand , God rewards those who have made the right choices, and by right choices I mean , choices that please god , choice of following Jesus into heaven. Our reward is eternal life. He will create a new world for us , where there is no death , no hunger , no temptations… no devil . (Maybe another big bang , cause after all , big bangs are created when the universe eventually dies ,i.e. exhausted of all the gases that are required to be burned to keep the universe afloat and everything burns till the last atom. There is such a great energy within that atom that it burst all over again, creating planets all over again)…
Maybe the big bang atom is just some play object that god has in him show case. He probably likes creating planets . Imagine the earth in all its beauty. God must be some insane genius eh! Many more big bangs to come I suppose. But I guess just this once he thought that he should put our souls in the middle of it to test us… if we wanted to be where he is or where the fiery flames of hell are.
Have you made your choice??
God is waiting….
And so is the devil…
