No creation is complete without it's creator. I do not believe God is trying to make Earth habitable for Him but rather to establish a connection between Him and His creation.Sushan wrote: ↑04 Mar 2021, 07:06That is quite a logical answer. Actually why God wants to come to earth by leaving the heaven? Why He has to try so hard to make earth a suitable place for Him, while He is having a heaven to be in? If His intention was to be close to the good humans, he would have easily taken them to the heaven, unless trying to live among them.Unique Ego wrote: ↑04 Mar 2021, 01:52I believe that history does indeed repeat itself; you only need to look back a a few hundred years to see it. Nations and civilizations come and go. But the idea that this is somehow the devil winning at stopping God's plan to inhabit the earth is simply hogwash to me. First off, the way the scriptures define heaven, why would God want to leave that for our "clump of dirt?" If anything, God's ultimate plan is to come and take those who believe in Him so that they can be with Him in heaven—and that's something a million "serpents" can't stop. The scripture says that this world will pass away...so I believe it will.Sushan wrote: ↑02 Mar 2021, 00:49 By studying various religious scriptures, the author has identified a general pattern according to which the events occur when God's Divine Plan (To make the physical world a dwelling place for God) is going to be fulfilled. As per the author, various leaders have emerged since Moses, such as David, Ezra and Esther, Simon Bar Kokhba, who would have fulfilled this task, but failed due to the opposition by the serpent (as per the author, the very serpent who made Eve to eat from the forbidden tree has continued his mission in preventing God's plans from happening).
So, according to the author, this general pattern happens as,
1. Bad events happen
2. Leaders emerge to command
3. Amalek war ( Amalek can be any nation at the time who opposes God's Divine Plan)
4. Building a temple (or the revelation)
5. Death of the leader
The author shows that this cycle has repeated several times, and he suggests that it will help us to predict the future events.
When studying the bible and other relevant religious scriptures, have you noticed such a pattern? Or is this merely a making of the author by arranging few historical facts into a pattern? Is this a proof for the saying, "history repeats itself"?
On the other hand, this almighty God could create the whole universe. But He is unable to defeat a mere serpent. Is this believable?
The serpent is also a creature made, it wouldn't be difficult for God to oust Him but God wants man to choose on whose side they'd rather belong.

I agree that history repeats itself but the pattern the author is describing sounds a little too detailed.Sam Lauren wrote: ↑02 Mar 2021, 06:34 History absolutely repeats itself. We can see patterns in the growth of civilizations, especially ones with similar governments. If you look at the history of Ancient Rome, there are a lot of parallels to the United States. They also had a Republic. Elections grew increasingly expensive; politics became a path of wealth; as their economy depended more and more on other countries, the companies involved were able to sway policy makers for laws in their favor; there was a growing division between the rich and commoners, and right before the collapse of their republic they did away with the middle class. Their laws led them to having no middle class. Many economists says our middle class is dwindling too!
