Gonna bring this conversation here..
My answer to you @Infinityloop
Let’s go back to the beginning then. God created heaven and earth and He also created plants, animals. He could have stopped there but He didn’t He created man in His image. Why? He could have left it with plants and animals but He made someone He could relate with by making him in His image...right?
When Adam and Eve break the relationship of trust with God and sin enters the world is when that relationship is broken. They are separated from God at that point and are now no longer able to live in the garden in the garden, they aren’t interacting face to face with God anymore.
Yet all through the OT God is still around but not in the close way He was in the garden until He sent His Son to save us from our sins and reconcile us to God, bringing us back into a close relationship with Him again. You can’t get closer to the Holy Spirit living in my heart...
How is Adam a god? He was created so he can’t be a god. Jesus was and is in heaven as God...no one created God. There is no similarity in that respect.
There is no purpose to religion, except to say that we were born to worship God and if we don’t believe in God we will make a god to worship. There is only one true God and the rest are fakes and phonies.
History is a long line of people who lived before us....In God’s word the Bible, God shared with us the things He wanted us to know about Him and things that we could learn from the people before us and their relationship or lack thereof with God. God is always the focus of the Bible and His relationship or lack with man...that’s our history.
Yes there is a heaven and hell and Jesus came to save us from hell so we could be reconciled to God and live with Him again instead of being punished for our sins in the lake of fire where there is weeping and gnashing of teeth. God is actually loving and caring about us or else He could just let us go straight to hell without ever trying to save us.
What is the point of the universe? God did create the heavens and where does God live? In heaven.. could the universe be heaven? I used to think the sun was where God lived because God is the light of the world and no one could come close to touching God.. what better place than the sun? Idk if that’s true but it did make sense to me.
