Biblical Proof That There Is No God on Earth
Introduction
Two things must be made clear from the outset. Firstly, It must be said that It does not matter whether the reader of this thesis believes in God or not, benefit will still be gained. Secondly it does not matter who exactly God is, rather it is His nature that is important to understand. Some say, and I am not one of them, that God is either Enki and Enlil or some combination of the two Sumerian Gods, hence Elohim, the plural. It is impossible for us to find the truth; except we do know that The Sumerian story of the Flood is the oldest legend of that event and that Jewish scribes once lived in Sumer. No, it matters not who God is. The point is that God is our Creator.
Now the reader of this thesis might be a theist or an atheist or an agnostic, but all three groups will benefit from a greater understanding of, I believe, the true nature of God. For example, the atheist does not believe in the existence of God but will still find the results of this thesis relevant in some respects. He or she will feel at least to some extent vindicated in their beliefs, at least in this life if not the next. The agnostic will find it a light perhaps to illuminate either side of the fence that they sit upon, but its strongest effect may well be felt by the theist, the believer in a Creator. Regardless, all types of reader should keep an open mind.
Surprisingly the Old testament Bible is very clear that whilst there is a Creator, scientifically unproven of course in our times, this Creator does not get involved with, nor intervene in this world. In other words, whilst God sees all things God has given us freewill and the responsibility of dealing ourselves with the wickedness that some commit
That is not my religious opinion. It is the very Bible that tells this to us, and the purpose of this thesis summary is to show you the logic that has led to the above claim and the way in which we have all been so misled. Basically, Semitic religions have misrepresented the facts to us, and that God has not been with us in this world since Genesis
Starting at the beginning with the right Objective
It is vital to get two things absolutely correct when you are setting out to find or discover something, like the truth of things. Firstly, one must make sure one has the objective clearly defined in the mind’s eye; nothing else will do. In this thesis the main objective is the understanding of the true nature of God, especially in relation to humanity and our world. Secondly one really does have to find the beginning of things and start there
Understanding The true nature of God
For myself I do believe for any true theist God would be Perfection and would create and treat us all equally. God would allow us freewill but regardless of this God would have to be omnipotent omnipresent, omnipresent all-powerful, all-knowing, all-seeing and perfect to be God and nothing less would suffice. God would never be towards his creations, weak, indecisive, violent, destructive, vengeful, demanding of followers, praise and worship, angry and so on. Why not? Surely if God were all-powerful, God could be anything that God wishes, and this must be true but to us his creations he is as an ever-loving all-powerful parent that has blessed us with free-will. It is a difference between "could" and "would". God created our world, blessed us all to be fruitful and multiply and has no wish ever to destroy us, no matter how bad we get. At this point some people might bring up the Flood, but that will be dealt with later. God was, is and will ever be beneficial to us.
It is not easy to consider God, given the duality of our nature and our world. We live in a world of life and death, good and bad, growth and shrinkage. We may well be represented by the number two, but God is represented only by the number one. God has no duality, no blessings and curses, only blessings. While we grow and wither, God only grows. While we wax and wane, God only waxes. While we can be love and hatred, God is only love. How can this be when we are made in the image of God I hear the theist cry? It is because we are made in His image, not a carbon copy. The statement that we are created in the image of G‑d means that we were formed as a reflection of our Creator’s attributes and characteristics. This cannot be taken to mean that we literally look, feel or think like G‑d does, because He has no form and is not limited in any way. Rather, we are like a one-dimensional reflection of a real object. From the reflection we can have an inkling of the original, but the reflection is literally nothing in comparison to the original.
This is expressed in many ways: some physical, others psychological, and still others are purely in the spiritual realm for example. All other creations are doing exactly what they are programmed to do and cannot change their natures. Only the human being has the power to grow, mature and change, because he or she is a reflection of God, who is unlimited. Man was endowed with the power to think independently, to peer into the future and to make rational decisions. This is a reflection of G‑d’s infinite wisdom, but unlike God, we are flawed
Starting at the beginning. The Truth of Things
If any person attempts to seek the truth of things mid-way through an event or happenstance or at its end, then that person is no more than a fool. The beginning of things is the simplest form, the root. Everything is conceived pure or with the purest of intentions and only later gets corrupted. Note the monk who stripped of all worldly wants and desires can begin to see things for what they really are. With a firm picture in my mind’s eye of this all-powerful, ALL KNOWING AND ALL-SEEING benign creator I decided to use the Old Testament a book I have been familiar with since childhood i.e. the beginning of things to start at. I could have started anywhere I suppose, in the Old Testament, The New Testament, The Koran but no I sensibly decided to start at the beginning and I must say that as every Muslim really does believe that it was Allah who wrote the Old Testament for the Jews I doubt that Muslims would object to my using, in their eyes Allah’s first holy book. What’s more I’m going to use the part that The Jewish nation were NOT accused of tampering with, by both Muslims and Christians i.e. Genesis. I doubt Christianity would object either. After all my mission was to find God and Christianity reveres the Old Testament almost as much as the New Testament, I’m sure they would agree that the God of Genesis is God as certainly would the members of the ever-faithful and long-suffering Jewish religion.
To me anything in Genesis, i.e. the first, the beginning the original trumps verses that appear later in the Bible and we shall also see why this is true. It must also be remembered that Jewish scribes were at great pains to record everything as accurately as possible, especially in the early parts of the Bible.
I picked up my Bible turned to Genesis and began to read for the ten thousandth time, all the while hoping this time to catch a glimpse of the magnificence that is meant to be God
Adam And Eve
The story of the Creation in my opinion doesn’t do my image of the Creator enough justice and it wasn’t until Adam and Eve did I sense the benevolent magnificence of God, which can be explained thus. God made man and woman and wished to give them freewill i.e. the right and ability to make choices. You can’t descend from heaven and just give your people free-will, their awe of you will make them instant slaves.
God wanted to give Adam and Eve freewill, wanted them to be free. He warned them not to eat of the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, on pain of death BUT being perfect as we have already posited God surely knew they would disobey.. God had sent one of His creations to offer the other choice to Eve i.e. to have knowledge of good and evil and all that entailed, and the serpent made it an enticing choice, to know what is good and what is not. Eve made her choice and the exit from the garden was not a punishment, it was our choice. We chose to be free of the simple life and instead chose a much more arduous and yet more fulfilling path than just tending animals in the Garden. We were not tricked. We obtained what we wanted and still do, we obtained knowledge and self-awareness. i.e. before decision was made Adam and Eve like animals had no knowledge of themselves, no ability to see themselves. Like animals they were unable to stand outside themselves and view themselves objectively. We humans have been given that gift.
Of course, you must understand this is all my interpretation of the story but I wager that you will be unable to give me another interpretation in keeping with the idea of God as perfection. God didn’t tempt Adam and Eve. For what purpose would he do that if God already knew, being so all-seeing that they would disobey? Utter illogical nonsense! Yet that is what we have been taught for centuries. Why would we assume that God is either flawed or not so powerful? There is only one vaguely relevant counter –argument to my logic and it goes like this “The Lord works in mysterious ways” Well that is not a good enough argument in my opinion.
Another question one could ask is Why God, who could have created perfection did not make us perfect? The answer is simple. In the garden of Eden, we had perfection, no worries, fear, stress, dangers and so on but we chose freewill and self-awareness. We chose the world we now live in. we have freewill and that means we are not beholden nor ruled by a higher power. We have self-awareness which means we are aware of ourselves and the world around us. Unlike an animal which is set on a simple system of surviving i.e. by eating, sleeping defecating and procreating, we humans, should have no the fear of being controlled and because of self-awareness we have higher minds and more complex thought processes. Our understanding of ourselves and our species grows ever deeper; because we have the capacity to study it. Freewill and self-awareness are two gifts from our Creator to us and religion has stolen these from us, telling us how to worship, and how to think of God. ,
The next story in The Bible is that of Cain and Abel
Cain And Abel
Cain kills his brother for offering a better sacrifice to God and God spared him, showing mercy by marking him so that no one would kill him as he wandered, banished. Again, God knew that Cain would do such a thing and the mercy and compassion shown is a lesson to humanity, One could reach the conclusion that not only would God spare a murderer but also one that murders out of jealousy borne from the comparison of sacrifices made to God. If one considers the story of Cain and Abel carefully the sacrifices to appease God are less important to God than showing mercy to one who not only murders but also failed in his sacrifice.
Noah The Flood and the Nephilim.
There then follows the story of the Flood where it is made clear to us that God destroyed the Nephilim, evil creatures of abomination that were inter-breeding with us and causing the wickedness. Those that were destroyed were not humans but the spawn of the interrelationships between humanity and the Nephilim.
But it’s the chapter after the Flood that is the key part of the whole Bible.. This is where the truth of things lies and the simplest way to show anyone who studies this thesis, exactly what I have seen is to use the emphasis that the words gave to me, not the other way around. After all I wasn’t studying the words themselves nor the letters, just their meaning as spoken by Perfection.
