I have a theory. Not JW teaching. Not biblically provable. Just my theory.
Satan was one of the most beautiful angels. No bodies though. So beautiful by works.
What works did he do?
He led the think tank for the first life in history. A challenge was made to all creation angels. Come up with the best blueprint for life. Satan won. Lead the team. Had a huge part of creating life.
What did they create?
Dinosoars!
The earth was their fishbowl. They gave giant lizards similar computer programs for a brain as modern lizards snakes. And for millions of years watched the struggle for life.
There were spots throughout this trial run of life on earth where it would be more fun to wipe out all or most life and start over. Refining the efficiancy of animals. ei:flying.
Eventually mammals made it to the scene.
Satan was praised as the greatest thinker in heaven over his division of angels.
Someone at a board meeting proposed the idea of creatures that were awake like angels but in meat bodies like animals.
Satan loved this idea. But upon further examination of the proposed plan he saw that these new beings would be tied to the meat bodies. They would need food and shelter. Their spirit alone wouldnt be enough to sustain them. They would need God to stay alive.
Well satan didnt like that idea.
I can picture him furious at the idea! Trap a spirit in these stupid meat bodies!?!? It would be fun to play for a day in one. But at the end of the day he wanted to remain in spirit only.
So the final decision was brought to the CEO(God) and he decided it would be best to give the new creation(Man), a body to physically interact with the earth.
More fun to scuba dive in the carribean, or would you rather sit at home and watch it through a fishbowl.
But satan was able to put a provision in for man to opt out of gods plan.
The tree of the knowledge of good and bad.
So basically before we were even created the tree and the question were posed.
Do you want to live on earth with no wants yet needing god and food? Or should we all have unlimited access to heaven. To be able to look upon god and not die because you are an angel? And just use meat bodies as entertainment?
Hope I still have your attention. Because the answer is what this is all about.
Now picture the center of the earth. Molten and hot. From it begin to pull a single drop through all the solids of the earths crust untill it pops out on land. The finished product is a man. God takes this man and blows the breath of life in him.
This is a HUGE moment in history!!!! For the first time in all eternety there is this creature with the spirit and power of an angel but the body of an animal.
This is the point where evolution is wrong. All life did happen due to natural selection. Or as Darwin put it "Evolution". The driving force behind that was God though. Man is a unique creation.
We are not mortal. Yet we are connected to this realm only. But this planet and its wonders are enough to keep us busy and happy.
As far as the whole gardening thing... Maby that will be addressed in another post.
So now Adam spends time with God and really grows to love him. Imagine being able to access all knowledge of all time? The questions you would ask.
So after enough time had gone by on this (test)human it was decided to be a success!!!
What gift do you give man? A partner to share all this with. And even bring forth new life(babies).
God created man in his image...Able to love and create new life.
So now Satan is pissed!
The abomination of the human is going to be a permanent fixture!!!
So why does the bible say his is the dragon as well as serpent?
THE DINOSOARS!
Why arent the dinosoars in the bible? It would have done wonders for the validity of it. Must have been more of a hurt then help for Gods side.
Satan favors life as entertainment. Not worthy of holding a spirit creature.
We are the tie between heaven and earth. We were made to subdue it and report to heaven for leadership.
Not a single one of us can see what all of humanity is doing. So it makes sence that we cant lead ourselves. You will never have every side of the equasion like heaven can.
So Satan gets the inexperianced one, the woman, and tells her... God is lying. Eat from the tree and be like him. Eating of the tree is the way to cast your vote..... Meat body as a puppet or as your only perspective in the universe.
She was thouroughly decieved.
This was a question that would put the whole works to a halt.
This is why Satan doesnt grow old and die even though he is responcable for all sin. And we die because we need holy spirit to live. Other than that one difference we are the same as the angels. Just as important. Maby even favored by God over the angels for our beauty.
So Why would you choose a body? Why not have unlimited power?
At the end of the thousand year riegn we will need to stand before the abyss and as a perfect collective sing Gods praise to Satan. Thus making him cease to exist!
Those will choose life on earth over what Satan thinks is a cage. Because I have traveled from the east coast to the west. Been to every state except alaska. Been to asia and the middle east. The Carribean and south america. It never gets old!!!! I could spend 3000 years just getting to know north america. I love it here!!! Take away my mortality and any people who would get in the way of true love for all mankind and IM SOLD!!!
We were created with wants. This is not weakness. I love to want the love of a beautiful woman. My childrens love. The times I spend with my brother. I want pizza and lobster and cake! If all those wants can always be met by Gods promise then Im happy.
Thanks for reading. Dont know where I belong yet but do know I love God!
