God's hand or Man's? II


  I want to talk about paradise.  Can we even think for a moment what true paradise is.  Just imagine waking up in the morning, and not even thinking what will I wear today?  Walking out from where you slept, and eating the first good looking peace of fruit, or herb.  You don't have to go to work all that you do is talk to God, and tend His garden.  You would see a animal, and God would tell you what to name it.  Everything is perfect, and you don't do anything wrong, because you don't know what is good, or evil.  God's plan was paradise for the human race.
  Everything was created, a perfect environment, food, fish, birds, animals, and the last to be created was man, in the image of God.  The difference between man and all of the other creation, He (God) breathed life into man's soul, and with that came free will.  Because of free will, He (God) had to give man a choice to make on his own.  Thus the tree of knowledge of good or evil.
  When God finished creating something He always said,  "I looked upon it, and it was good."  Was there evil in His paradise, and why?
  I want to share a thought that I have had for some time.  God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the Earth. Genesis 1:28 (KJV).  God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the Earth Genesis 9:1 (KJV).  True I am 65 years old, but I am not repeating myself.  One commandment given at two different times, the first was to Adam, and Eve, the second was to Noah, and his sons.  Reading the account of Noah everything that breathed through it's nostrils died, but the fish didn't die.
  In whom the god of this world (Satan) has blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the Glorious Gospel of Christ, Who is the Image of God, should shine unto them. II Corinthians 4:4 (KJV).  When was Satan made the god of this world?
  Searching the Scriptures, there is no mention of the time that this happened, but reading the Scriptures it is evident that it happened.  Going back to the tree of good, and evil, God is the only one who is good, and Lucifer is all evil.  We have no indication how long this battle has been going on, but it started when Lucifer declared he could do what only God could do.
  What we do know is as soon as Adam, and Eve disobeyed God the first blood was shed to cover their nakedness, so the shedding of blood changed their appearance to God.  As the result of their disobedience of God, they were driven from paradise, and the curses were placed upon them, and all of their descendants.      (to continue)
