God as CEO - Real Sovereignty
We would have told God just like many have said: "You ultimately caused all of this to happen. You cause suffering of millions, perhaps billions of people who had nothing to do with the first failure. You allow the Hacker in. We don't deserve to die (of course we all know that we do deserve to die). You do."
And you know what. He agreed.
"When you build a new house, you must build a railing around the edge
of its flat roof. That way you will not be considered guilty of murder
if someone falls from the roof." - Deut 22:8
“If
a bull gores a man or woman to death, the bull is to be stoned to
death, and its meat must not be eaten. But the owner of the bull will
not be held responsible. 29 If, however, the bull has had the habit of
goring and the owner has been warned but has not kept it penned up and
it kills a man or woman, the bull is to be stoned and its owner also is
to be put to death" - Ex 21:28-29
"For
the creature [and/or creation itself] was MADE subject to VANITY NOT
WILLINGLY, but by reason of Him [that’s God] Who HATH SUBJECTED the
same in hope. Because the creature itself also shall be delivered from
the BONDAGE OF CORRUPTION into the glorious liberty of the children of
God. For we know that the WHOLE CREATION groans and travails IN PAIN
until NOW" (Rom. 8:20-22)!
- He did not build a fence around the tree of knowledge of good and evil.
- He allowed the snake in.
- In a sense He knew that the "bull", had a habit of goring and did not keep it penned up.
But
He knew for man to achieve the highest glory, he may need to be
subjected possibly to the lowest depth. In Hebrew Sheol is the lowest
depth any man can descend to, the ultimate pit.
I
guarantee when man gets the full keys to the cadillac, wielding lots
of power, it would be wielded responsibly. There will be no messing up,
as we all know how it turn out when we tried to run things on our own.
Plus
life is more than this pittance of a blue orb floating in sea of
darkness... This is just Phase 1. A test lab so to speak, growing
"little gods" (which I know some will take offense to).....There is a
whole universe out there, an entire expanse...
This is just Phase 1...
It
was God HIMSELF Who subjected the whole creation to vanity, and He
didn’t ask anyone’s permission before He did it. And it is only God
Himself Who will deliver the whole creation from the bondage of
corruption, pain, and suffering.
