How The World And Mankind Were Created Pdf

[Ariano Waiker]

Thedocument summarizes Greek myths about the creation of the world and mankind. It describes how Chaos existed first, followed by Gaea (Earth), Ouranos (Heaven), and their monstrous children. Cronus overthrew Ouranos and later was overthrown by Zeus. Prometheus and Epimetheus created mankind. Stories are told of Pandora, Deucalion and the great flood, Prometheus' defiance of Zeus, and the five races of men.Read less

Now we know God is omniscient ie. He is all-seeing and all-knowing, of everything as well as of what will happen in the past, present, and future. That means He would surely have known that Adam and Eve would, at some point, decide to disobey Him. He would have known that this sin would condemn not just the duo, but succeeding generations of mankind, along with the earth.

Before going into why God decided to proceed with Creation, however, I figured that it would help to narrow the scope of the discussion by considering (and dismissing) several alternative options to explain what happened. As a believer, I kept to the basic assumption that God is good and that He is perfect.

Why did God create the world even though He knew it would go south? Because He desired a loving relationship with man, and was ready to be patient, forgiving, and merciful when man failed. Compare that to a couple who have a child. They already have each other for company, but they desire the companionship of an addition to the family. And even though they know that this child will be naughty, flawed, and rebellious, the hope of the joy that this child brings is worth the heartbreak and the pain.

(If we argue that God was being unfair in putting this temptation in the Garden, consider this thought: There must have been thousands (maybe even more) of fruit trees that Adam and Eve could eat from, but they had to eat from the one forbidden one.)

HAVING A KID, INSTEAD OF A ROBOT???? THAT DOES NOT ANSWER THIS. IF GOD KNOWS THEN WHY. YES I HAVE A KID, AND TE KID MAKES CHOICES, BUT IF I KNEW AHEAD THAT MY KID WAS GOING TO END THE WORLD, I WOULD NOT HAVE HAD HIM. SO PLEASE ANSWER WHY????

God does weep over the pain of this fallen world,but if God was to stop it then he would be taking away someones free will to make good and bad decisions there for being forced to obey and follow God which is not a mutual relationship but a robotic one.If man does not repent of his sin in the end God will punish them for it. He does not wish that anyone parishes though,but that all repent and be saved, But he is God of Justice and their will be justice for those who suffered wrongly. People do not get away with their sin.

Even if there is free will and love why did god cursed Adam and Eve and sent away from Eden. If he knows that his children are naughty, flaw and going to fail but still he loves then no father in the family throw away their kids. Instead they will try to explain and help the kids to understand. Once they understood they will not be the same old.

Hi Leslie, I have some important news for you. Could you please contact me regarding this article at my facebook address or alternatively my email address Grahamtr...@gmail.com God Bless and thankyou. Regards Sheldon Graham.

Hence the second shock for Satan, despite Jesus was born in all things like His brethren except sin , despite Satan was in HIS SOUL! Removed only BY FORCE on Jesus baptism by John the Baptist. Depicted in

Matthew 11:11 Amen I say to you, there has not risen among them that are born of women a greater than John the Baptist: yet he that is the lesser in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he. 12And from the days of John the Baptist until NOW, the kingdom of heaven suffers violence, and the violent bear it away.

Throughout the days from the cross, and till Pentecost, JESUS CHRIST WAS THE TRUE KING ON EARTH and He ruled earth as the sole sovereign overall no matter what, and who! Thus, Jesus Christ implanted the seed of His first fruits in every conception occurred on earth, and SOULS were born of God, in the human flesh and blood body as SONS OF GOD in every birth occurred on earth. The entire human race from that moment on ALL had ONE SAME BLOOD, and ONE SAME FATHER

Thanks Leslie for your views on this topic and thanks to all that responded. Very interesting comments. Out of the 3 choices that you offer, I personally believe that option 1 is the mostly likely to be accurate. I believe God made creation perfect (which includes mankind). I do not think God lost control of his creation because he allowed for free will which resulted in the fall of man. God then had his son come down to earth to save it.

I am so glad I found this post! It felt so good that after years of pondering this question I see my beliefs nailed on the head here. God showed just HOW MUCH he loves us by the sacrifice of his Son, and gave us free will to make the decision to have a relationship with him or not. He just wants to be our father & have us be his children.

Glory to God!

Personally, I agree with what this author has written. In relation to your comment, not having the child is just your opinion/something you would do.

We just have to trust God because after all, the Bible never really gave an answer to this question.

You nailed it! God is love! God wants to share to us that once upon a time, there was a loving God who created man, to show His love and forgiveness. After everything passes away, the Bible and all of creations, would be a story of once upon a time, there was God, who loved His creation, that despite all the evils it would commit, He continued to create them. What a loving Father. All for the glory of God.

That was question I have long time ago as I began to read the bible.God is love! God wants to share to us that once upon a time, there was a loving God who created man, to show His love and forgiveness. After everything passes away, the Bible and all of creations, would be a story of once upon a time, there was God, who loved His creation, that despite all the evils it would commit, He continued to create them. What a loving Father. All for the glory of God.

God told adam and and eve to not eat of the tree lest you surely die. Now as a parent if i tell my my child to not do something and i warn him that he will be punished (spanked, grounded etc) and he does it anyway and i refuse to do as i said as far a punishment, i have lied and the child knows this and will continue to do things beyond my instruction because he knows he can and will suffer no consequence. Therefore the bible tells us God cannot lie, he told them what they should not do and they did it. And im sure with a broken heart and sadness at their choice, but it was a freewill choice they made.So as any good father (parent) he follows thru with his punishment as he stated, they disobeyed and they suffered the consequences of their actions.

If God is all knowing , all being, all sufficient. He does not need to create something that he Needs to have a relationship with. Because then he would not have a desire to build a relationship with anything or one outside of the Trinity? If God created man for His enjoyment, would it not be sadistic if God to watch all the suffering, we did not ask to be here. Why would God need, or want us to choose to love him, when He does not need outside Love to feel complete. If we are created in Gods image, why do we as Humans feel the need to build relationships and build a relationship with God, as we have a void in us that can only be filled by a relationship with God.

You have missed the point of this question and the simple uncomplicated reasoning that gives way to understanding, and without fault.

We are not singled-out individually, we all suffer and sometimes as a nation of people.

In the end the measure of what is a good person is not measured by you. So live your life, give love and find truth in the promise of time.

Sorry, but God set up Adam and Eve from the get go. He is just a cruel being who hurts us as a way to entertain himself. As others have pointed out that in heaven God will make people perfect. It is clear that he could have done that from the start, but why pass on a chance to watch others suffer horribly and die.

Stories describing creation are prominent in many cultures of the world. In Mesopotamia, the surviving evidence from the third millennium to the end of the first millennium B.C. indicates that although many of the gods were associated with natural forces, no single myth addressed issues of initial creation. It was simply assumed that the gods existed before the world was formed. Unfortunately, very little survives of Sumerian literature from the third millennium B.C. Several fragmentary tablets contain references to a time before the pantheon of the gods, when only the Earth (Sumerian: ki) and Heavens (Sumerian: an) existed. All was dark, there existed neither sunlight nor moonlight; however, the earth was green and water was in the ground, although there was no vegetation. More is known from Sumerian poems that date to the beginning centuries of the second millennium B.C.

Babylonian poets, like their Sumerian counterparts, had no single explanation for creation. Diverse stories regarding creation were incorporated into other types of texts. Most prominently, the Babylonian creation story Enuma Elish is a theological legitimization of the rise of Marduk as the supreme god in Babylon, replacing Enlil, the former head of the pantheon. The poem was most likely compiled during the reign of Nebuchadnezzar I in the later twelfth century B.C., or possibly a short time afterward. At this time, Babylon, after many centuries of rule by the foreign Kassite dynasty, achieved political and cultural independence. The poem celebrates the ascendancy of the city and acts as a political tractate explaining how Babylon came to succeed the older city of Nippur as the center of religious festivals.

The myth continues as the gods swear allegiance to the mighty king and create Babylon and his temple, the Esagila, a home where the gods can rest during their sojourn upon the earth. The myth conveniently ignores Nippur, the holy city esteemed by both the Sumerians and the rulers of Kassite Babylonia. Babylon has replaced Nippur as the dwelling place of the gods.
