Hello there RedOne77: I see that you claim, as do many millions of others, who you disagree with, to be a Christian. But what is the interpretation of God’s word that your particular version of Christianity adheres to? I don’t know, but in order that we don’t begin our particular debate at cross purposes, let me first set out the basis of my belief before we begin.
I believe in an eternal cyclic Universe as do the Buddhists, who believe that Universe after universe is like an interminable succession of wheels forever coming into view, forever rolling onwards, disappearing and reappearing; forever passing from being to non being, and again from non being to being. In short, the constant revolving of the wheel of life in one eternal cycle, according to fixed and immutable laws, is perhaps after all the sum and substance of the philosophy of Buddhism. And this eternal wheel has so to speak, six spokes representing six forms of existence.” ---- Mon. Williams, Buddhism, pp. 229, 122.
I believe that the nights and days of Brahma are called Manvantara or the cycle of manifestation, ‘The Great Day,’ which is a period of universal activity, that is preceded, and also followed by ‘Pralaya,’ a dark period, which to our finite minds seems as an eternity. ‘Manvantara,’ is a creative day as seen in the six days of creation in Genesis, ‘Pralaya,’ is the evening that precedes the next creative day. The six periods of Creation and the seventh day of rest in which we now exist are referred to in the book of Genesis as the generations of the universe.
The English word “Generation,” is translated from the Hebrew “toledoth” which is used in the Old Testament in every instance as ‘births,’ or ‘descendants,’ such as “These are the generations of Adam,” or “these are the generations of Abraham, and Genesis 2: 4; These are the generations of the Universe or heavens and earth, etc. And the ‘Great Day’ in which the seven generations of the universe are eternally repeated, is the eternal cosmic period of the eighth eternal day in which those who attain to perfection are allowed to enter, where they shall be surrounded by great light and they shall experience eternal peace, while those who do not attain to perfection are cast back into the refining fires of the seven physical cycles that perpetually revolve within the eighth eternal cosmic cycle.
I believe, as did Origen, who was a Christian writer and teacher who lived between the years of 185 and 254 AD. Among his many works is the Hexapla, which is his interpretation of the Old Testament texts. Origen holds to a series of worlds following one upon the other,-- each world rising a step higher than the previous world, so that every later world brings to ripeness the seeds that were imbedded in the former, and itself then prepares the seed for the universe that will follow it. In other words, the seventh generation of the Universe evolved from the first.
I believe that In the beginning was the infinitely dense, infinitely hot, infinitesimally small singularity that was torn asunder, or spatially separated by the Big Bang. And from the Quantum of the liquid like electromagnetic energy that was spewed out in the billions of degrees, everything that has ever existed, everything that now exists, and everything that will every exist, came/comes into being.
The quantum of the liquid like electromagnetic energy that was spewed out in the billions of degrees, are invisible waves that have zero mass and no electric charge, and yet carry angular and linear momentum, this is the "Logos," which is the divine animating principle that pervades and animates all that has existed, all that now exists, and all that will ever exist. The logos is the universal life force to which all the information taken in through all the living bodies that it has evolved into is gathered.
It was the Great Cosmic Gathering force, which, by gathering those invisible waves together, created the first subatomic particles, which, when gathered together created the first atoms, from which the first molecules were created, which molecules were gathered to create this galaxy in which our solar system was created, in which solar system and on this earth that was created from the quantum of the electromagnetic energy, the first organic molecules evolved, from which organic molecules, all life on earth has evolved.
Of all the life forms that have evolved on earth, Mankind is the latest in the evolution of the singularity of origin, but mankind is not the end of the evolutionary process from which the "Son of Man," a fourth dimensional being is formed. But currently, mankind is the Most High in the creation, He is Lord of creatures and the prototype of the Lord of Spirits, who is the spirit that is currently developing within the body of mankind, which will be born into the invisible fourth dimension that co-exists within this three dimensional visible world (For the kingdom of God is within you) as the "Son Of Man," the Most High in the creation, who is the evolved Alpha from which all things come into existence, and the Omega, in which and for which, all things that come into existence, exist.
And He, the Omega in whom all exist and who the Alpha becomes, returns to the beginning (not some new beginning, but THE BEGINNING) and is one with the singularity of origin, before space and time came into existence. This then is the evolution of God, who was in the beginning before Mother Space and Father Time, were separated from the eternal embrace from which this three dimensional world is born, and it is He, the Omega of the previous universal body, who is the Alpha of the next cycle of universal activity, who, in the BEGINNING says, “Let there be Light,” as he witnesses the resurrection of the universal body in which he had developed as the supreme personality of Godhead and in which body his heir and successor will develop.
Each and every universe with their galactic cells, that have ever come into existence, which have occupied a position in space, today still occupy their original positions in time within the boundless and timless eternal Cosmos, which is the compilation of all those bodies in space/time. For he has gone out to fill the entire universe with his living presence.
Because this debate is too far off topic, I will resubmit this post in a new Thread in "General Religious Debates," under the heading, "God's Heavenly Sons."
