Why man was Created--You asked for it
vektek,
You ask, I reply: Genesis 1:26 And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness; and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.
Proverbs 3:35 The wise shall inherit Glory; but shame shall be the promotion of fools.
Romans 2:10 But glory, honour, and peace, to every man that worketh good, to the Jew first, and also to the Gentile.
Romans 8:16 The Spirit itself beareth witness with our Spirit, that we are the children of God;
8:17 And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together.
>>>This is Why we must Endure to the End before we can be counted as Saved<<<<
8:18 For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us.
8:19 For the earnest expectation of the creature(mankind) waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God.
8:20 For the creature was made subject to vanity, not willingly, but by reason of him who hath subjected the same in hope,
8:21 Because the creature itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God.
8:24 For we are saved by hope: but hope that is seen is not hope; for what man seeth, why doth he yet hope for?
8:25 But if we hope for that we see not, then do we with patience wait for it.
>>>>again this shows we must Endure unto the End before being Saved<<<<
Ephesians 2:10 For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them
>>>>the above is after we have accepted Jesus Christ and choose to try and walk in the Fruits of the Spirit<<<<<
To Simplfy the above scriptures for those interested:
Mankind was Created in the Flesh to be tested to see who would be counted worthy to later become Spirit beings and rule the universe with God. Ya know, maybe go out and be a God to another earth etc in some far reaches of the universe?
For the universe extends forever, which is farther than mankind can imagine.
God 1st created the angels as Spirit beings, then found out that some of them got to thinking they were Better than the one who had Created them and rebelled against their Creator. These were cast down to earth for a time and times to deceive mankind who was Created in the Flesh.
Why was mankind created in the Flesh and not as Spirit beigns?
The Spirit beings(angels) who rebelled will have to be locked up in the pit and shall Suffer for their crimes.
Because God is merciful and does not wish that any should Suffer as such, he changed his p[lan and decided to create mankind in the flesh. This way those who rejected God their creator, God would not convert their Flesh into Spirit. These who choose to rebelled against him would just be gone after they die.
Only those who Honor and respect their Creator and attempt to walk in the Light shall be converted into Spirit beings come Judgement day.
Mankinds Whole Purpose here on earth is to learn to get along with other people and to become a Better person.
Earth is a training ground for mankind to test and see what each of us Freely chooses to do by our Free will choices.
God does not want any who are going to rebell against him like some of the angels did.
This is again Why we are not Saved until we endure unto the End, and only then if we be counted worthy.
What is the Whole Key to if we may be counted Worthy?
Could it be as simple as being willing to change from our Poor choices in Life and be willing to do the Right things and learn to live in Peace with others?
This can be done by learning to live in the Fruits of the Spirit and reject living by the works of the Flesh as most of mankind has fallen into doing.
