Well to take it a bit further I'm thinking there is such a thing as the devil who is the arch enemy of god, I'm thinking is also pretty smart and can also create.. say the devil may have created the mosquito to make up miserable the god looked at that and then with his skill as a creator designed the mosquito hawk. I'm thinking the way things happen down here is the result of out actions, with things just occurring to us, just showing up in our heads, in fact I think both sided can inspire us.

Perhaps I was thinking along these lines, too, but I guess I have a bigger imagination. I imagine that God is the creation of an even greater entity, who tracks God's every actions. God had to design and create everything, and he is going to be held accountable for the quality of his work, and the actions of us humans is what will make or break his grade. Did God create us with sufficient insight, wisdom and understanding to live well, or did he screw it up and make us selfish, greedy and short-sighted? It must be awfully tough to create something with a consciousness as well as survival instincts, so that was the test that this über-being gave to God. So when we fall short, it's not us who will suffer, since we'll be dead, but rather God, who is immortal, and is responsible for every flaw in humans, since every one of those flaws was in his design. No wonder he's threatening us with all sorts of nasty punishments if we don't act a certain way; it's probably the most effective way he's figured out to motivate us to act in the way that his master wants us to. -- Ed Leafe [excessive quoting removed by server] _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/f8afee501bf94b689599b4da29832...@laptop ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
