Have you ever speculated why, though. Why did God bring about an imperfect human race in order to create His family in the end? It can't all be about appreciating and valuing His Kingdom, can it? Is it silly to ask? I don't think He minds the question if it brings about illumination of His character. I think He minds the question if I'm the creature questioning my Creator as if I have any say in the matter.
Because creating beings Like HIMSELF, is not a stamping out process. Maybe when we read Scripture, we are learning how and why GOD Makes gods; and it is not a simple process, but takes a lifetime.Gen 3:22-24 (CLV)22 And saying is Yahweh Elohim, "Behold! The human becomes as one of us, knowing good and evil. And now, lest he stretch forth his hand, moreover, and take of the tree of the living, and eat and live for the eon--!(aka forever)
23 And Yahweh Elohim is sending him away from the garden of Eden to serve the ground whence he is taken.
24 And He is driving out the human, and is causing him to tabernacle at the east of the garden of Eden. And He set the cherubim, and a flaming sword turning itself, to keep the way of the tree of the living.
Ecc 1:13 (CLV)I applied my heart to inquiring and exploring by wisdom concerning all that is done under the heavens:
it is an experience of evil Elohim has given to the sons of humanity to humble them by it.Psa 82:1-8 (Rotherham)1 A Melody of Asaph. God, hath taken his place in the august assembly, In the midst of the gods, will he judge.
2 How long will ye judge perversely, And, the countenances of the lawless, uplift? Selah.
3 Vindicate the weak and the fatherless, The oppressed and the poor, see righted;
4 Deliver the weak sad the needy, Out of the hand of the lawless, make rescue.
5 They know not, neither can they perceive, In darkness, they wander, All the foundations of the earth do shake.
6
I, said, Gods, ye are, Yea, sons of the Highest, are ye all;7 But indeed, like the earth-born, shall ye die! And, like one of the princes, shall ye fall!
8 Arise! O God, judge thou the earth, For, thou, wilt inherit all the nations.
Joh 10:33-36 (MKJV)33 The Jews answered Him, saying, We do not stone you for a good work, but for blasphemy, and because you, being a man, make yourself God.
34 Jesus answered them,
Is it not written in your Law, "I said, You are gods?" 35 If He called those gods with whom the Word of God was, and the Scripture cannot be broken,
36 do you say of Him whom the Father has sanctified and sent into the world, You blaspheme, because I said, I am the Son of God?
Gal 5:14 (MKJV)For all the Law is fulfilled in one word, even in this,
"You shall love your neighbor as yourself." Rom 8:38-39 (MKJV)38 For I am persuaded that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come,
39 nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Gal 5:22-23 (MKJV)22 But the fruit of the Spirit is: love, joy, peace, long-suffering, kindness, goodness, faith,
23 meekness, self-control; against such things there is no law. Fruit does not start out ready to eat day one, it must be grown tended treated and then harvested, get the picture a bit now .
