I have been wondering why humans are on
earth – why did we need to leave Heaven?
Were we imperfect – thus not being able
to stay in perfect Heaven?

Was it really the fallen angel Lucifer
that caused the problem? How could
imperfect Lucifer even be created by
God?

We are created by God – surely no other
human or animal created mankind. 2007
Science is in the stone ages compared to
what God has created billions of years
ago. But are humans a perfect creation
of God or are they imperfect
necessitating earth for learning
purposes?

The whole idea of being on earth seems
ridiculous to me – why not just be in
Heaven. Is there reincarnation or
recycling of souls to earth after death
of the body? Some religions believe we
come to earth millions of times to
slowly learn the Laws of God until
wefinally pass and then we can end the
Wheel of Karma. Do you believe this? But
it seems that most humans are totally
unaware of what’s going on spirituallyin
the world and mostly concerned with
accumulation and material comforts.
Do you have some straight forward
answers to these questions?

Any assistance in these matters would be
greatly appreciated!

______________________________

The person who sent me that e-mail is
wise in that he is looking for answers.
He realizes that only GOD could have
created us. (Even Darwin realized
that he was probably wrong before
his death.)

Do I have those answers? I’d like to
think so.

Part of the problem is that there are
some tv ministers who want to make you
believe that things are complicated, and
only they can help you come to
a relationship with our maker.

Some of these answers may shake
your faith as to what you believe you
know. If so, then be blessed.

First, I believe we are not the first that
have inhabited this planet. And, we most
likely will not be the last.

If you read the Hebrew closely, it truly
says: “and the earth was made void,” not
“and the earth was void.”

That means that something was here
before us. Possibly the dinosaurs?

And, you can also read in Matthew, “this
generation shall not pass away, until
all these things” when translated
properly should read: “this race shall
not pass away, until all these things”
So, we are just one of probably many
races that have and will inhabit this
earth.

In Revelations, we are told that “a new
heaven and a new earth” will arrive. So,
heaven, as God has intended for us has
not yet been completed. Even Christ told
the apostles, “I go to prepare a place
for you. If it were not so, I would have
told you.” If Jesus had to go and
prepare a place, it means it wasn’t
ready.

So, then why did God put us here?
God brought us here to worship him and
so that he could enjoy seeing those who
have learned the truth, which is to help
one another.

If you will notice, each person has
their own unique talents which they
excel at. Some avail themselves of these
gifts, others put them to waste, and
others still never figure it out.

Lucifer was not the problem, originally.
But, being God, he wanted people and his
very own angel creations to worship him
through free will.

Lucifer chose not to follow that path,
but imagined himself greater than God!
So, he convinced a third of the angels
to follow him.

Lucifer’s first hope was to corrupt the
perfect creation of Adam and from Adam’s
rib, Eve, to try and lead that rebellion
away from God.

You see, Job’s story happened prior to
Moses and probably even Abraham. And, so
Lucifer wanted to prove to God that God
was not as good as HE believed he was.
Which is why all the horrible things
happened to Job. But, Job won out by
praising God and waiting for the good
things to come.

I believe it was somewhere around here
when Lucifer truly began to depart fully
from his creator.

When Christ was in the tomb, before
he arose,he chained
Lucifer. (That doesn’t mean that if you
don’t get to close, that Lucifer can’t
get you. It’s like teasing a rabid dog
on a chain and getting closer and closer
until he is able to bite you.)

Paul says that we are but a mist that
appears and then vanishes. He also
states it is “appointed for man to die
once, and then the judgment.”

No, I don’t believe that we get to come
back again and again and again until we
get it right. We are supposed to strive
to learn the first time. Sadly, not
everybody pays attention to this. And,
even more sadly, the fact that some
people think it’s okay, because they’ll
get the chance to get it right later,
because of either reincarnation or
purgatory.

When I talk about aligning yourself with
the universal laws, I’m referring to
“getting right with the way God meant us
to be.” We should help one another by
doing what we do best. If it’s
carpentry, mechanics, teaching, music,
or whatever, it is because God put those
skills within that person. They were
meant to be used to help others. Wallace
Wattles stated that it was God playing
through that person’s skills.

You are right that most people don’t get
these teachings. They focus on “self,
self, self” instead of “helping others.”
They flock to the latest news about the
latest celebrity who acted up, instead
of focusing on teaching their kids to
get in alignment with God’s laws of the
universe.

I’m sure that some of this will need
clarification, but hopefully, it has
started to help you understand the
straightforward answers you are seeking.

Make it a great day in the Lord!

______________________

Since I wrote this, I have begun
studying some of the books that
were not “included” in the final
cut of the Bible.

In The Wisdom Of Solomon, it
states that wisdom will not
come to those of malicious intent.

I think the actual translation would
probably read that wisdom will
not come to any deed of
malicious intent.

I have seen people that are
malicious in their intent– and
yes, some of them even proclaim
to be ministers– that have
stated some very “wise”
things.

Everybody thinks that they will
get to heaven, either
because of the “reincarnation”
or “purgatory”, or because
they”ve suffered in some
way or some other
justification.

But, that’s not necessarily
the truth. By avoiding
being malicious, and
helping others, we
have the best hope
to reach heaven.

When I talk about
aligning ourselves with
the principles of the universe
that God set forth, I’m talking
about focusing on what
is right, pure, and helps
others–not on cleverness
or even knowledge.

I encourage anyone that
has questions that does not
wish to post them via
comment to drop me a line.

As you can see, I ain’t afraid
of the tough questions that
some scholarly ministers
might avoid.

Make it a great day in the Lord!
