this thread is for those who were ex christians,non
believers...
in the beginning there was God(for easy differentiation, the
more popular name Jehovah will be used)..now Jehovah is very
unique...even his name meant he who purpose..now he wanted to share
the gift of life..so he started creating...the 1st and only direct
creation..his only begotten son..whom people got to knw later as
Jesus..
Jehovah and Jesus spent countless ages together..Jesus had the
privillage to learn directly from Jehovah..they are the best
example of father and son..now Jehovah wanted to make Jesus
happy..so they went into plans of further creation...soon..more
spirit creatures were created...known as angels..universe,
stars,planets were created by Jehovah through the hands of
Jesus...
then came earth...where the bible book is eventually written by
the hands of men,inspired by Jehovah..now, it was written, Jehovah
created everything in 6 days...its impossible if its a day = 24
earth hours..as it will contradict science..the truth is..each day
of creation was a long period of time..unknown to be exact how long
each "day" was..so 6 such "days" past by and the creation is done
with Jehovah resting on the 7th and thus made the number 7
holy.(the idea of each day not a literal days can be found in the
prophecy of the rebuilding of the jerusalem temple)
on earth,man was created...adam(not adeline)...soon woe to
man(woman) was created to compliment and assist adam..eve(not
steve)...a strict law was given them..of all the fruits in eden you
may eat to your content.except the fruit from the knowledge of good
and bad..even the fruit from the tree of life was allowed...if you
eat from the former tree..you will positively die..
meanwhile..in the heavenly realm, there was this cherub..perfect
and maybe only second to Jesus..started to feel vain after so many
angels looked up to him..he had loved Jehovah so much then..now he
wants to have the worship for himself..he wants to be God...he
knows if he challenged Jehovah in terms of might there will be no
fight..so the crafty guy came to challenge his right to
sovereignty..he might have a chance if more agreed that its better
for creatures to rule themselves than ruled by Jehovah...off he
went to eden and he knew eve didnt had that much time with Jehovah
to know enough of him..and twisted his words to lure eve..now eve
was vain..she didnt want to be under adam(not in terms of sex
position) so she took the forbidden fruit herself first..before she
offered it to adam...adam loved her too much..so sinned with
her..thus humans were doomed..but the love of God prevailed..he
uttered that humans will be saved..the lying serpent will be
crushed..
conclusion...Jehovah and Jesus are 2 distinct entities..satan
was never named lucifer..humans chose to die...Jehovah still
lovingly made leeways for humans to be saved..the 6 days were
explained...adam loved eve more than Jehovah...
though the name Jehovah was used..it has nothing to do with
christian group known as Jehovah Witnesses
