| I'm still upset about that apple incident, and I don't know how God can expect us to do good on earth when we are not God we're human. Very nice of him to give us choices but to stick us here where the odds are against our favor is cruel. |
First of all, when Adam and Eve were in the Garden of Eden, if you read Genesis, you'll see that to have been created in God's image they would have had to be in spiritual form. It wasn't until they were cast out of the Garden that humans became physical beings. Secondly, it wasn't the fruit itself that was the temptation. It was the knowledge she was promised by the snake. It was the idea that she could be as great as God by knowing what he knew.
The reason this is such a bad place to be, I think, is because we choose to use that knowledge, and our free will, for the wrong purposes. God is constantly testing us. Why should we go to Heaven and be with God if we cannot prove we are worthy of it? If we aren't strong enough to resist corruption, are we worthy?
Well, I think so, as long as we make the right decision in the end. I mean, hey, look at the guy crucified next to Jesus, right?
Now:
| (Yes I am one of those nuts that believes in God and at the same time realizes if that is true I'm going to Hell) |
um... yeah... that probably about sums it up for me too. hehe
And, back to the original topic of this thread.... what meaning? there is no meaning. what would be the point of everything if there was an actual meaning? ok.... life means the same thing for everyone....BORING! that would truly suck!
I think a better Question would be "What does your life mean to you?"
Oh, wait, webgizmo already said that. hmmmmm
I'll have to think some more.
