: : There is a way to look at how the two greatest commandments can be used as the ultimate purpose for the creation of the universe and life. : : If life started by random chance, then we can look for any random purpose to life that suits us. : TO FIND THE ULTIMATE PURPOSE. : For an ultimate purpose to exist, there must be a God. : A God who has no beginning must have the time and the need to look for one clear and uncompromising purpose before he would even contemplate creating the universe and life? : What would this ultimate motivating force be, that could compel God to create a whole universe, so that intelligent life could exist on at least one planet; a planet like Earth : It helps to look at the Bad reasons to create life first. : Would God enjoy creating a universe were he could watch others suffer sickness, conflict war and death? : Would it please God to create a competitive world where everyone would have to compete against each other for his attention? : Would God want to create life that would conform to one religion? : Would God want to create life so that he could be merciful? : Would God want to create life that would fear his power? : Would it do God’s ego good to create life that would bow down before him and worship his greatness? : Would it give God pleasure to create a universe so that he could sit back and admire his handiwork? : Would God be lonely and have the need to walk and talk with others? What would he want to talk about? Philosophy? Religion? Football? Knitting? Television? : What ultimate purpose would God set for the life that he creates? : Would it be for everyone to turn to God’s religion, banish poverty, gain intellectual superiority, conquer sickness and death, and conquer the universe or is there more? : : The greatest reason God can have to create life is love. : Therefore the ultimate God humanity can have is a God who loves in the greatest way. : 1. There must be a God who willingly loves all of mankind as he loves HIMSELF, for all time and unconditionally. : This is the greatest reason to create life. : If the greatest reason God can have to create mankind, is to love each and everyone of us, as he loves himself, then God must create mankind, with the freedom to return God’s love : 2. All of mankind to be created with the freedom to love God the creator unconditionally. : God willingly loves everyone as he loves himself; we also need this same freedom to love everyone in the same way, so that the truth can be complete for God and mankind. : 3. All of mankind to be created with the freedom to love all of God’s children (neighbours) as they love themselves, unconditionally. : We can marvel at the great attention to detail that is evident in everything from the tiniest single cell of life right up to the giant structures of galaxies. The greatest reason for all this to exist is so that God and humanity may have the freedom to fulfil one uncompromising purpose. : Look at some choices that must have been available to an all-powerful God. If God wanted to create everyone as a Christian, or Muslim, or Hindu he must have had the power to do so. Can it be that God needed everyone to have the freedom to love rather than to have everyone conform to any one way of life. : You can find the ultimate purpose for the existence of the universe and life for yourself by challenging the above statements in your mind in an honest way, test them against any religious beliefs, test them against any form of logic. : Can there be any greater purpose for God to create life? Can there be any greater purpose for humanity to exist? In human terms this is the ultimate truth, the ultimate purpose for the existence of the universe and life. : As you challenge this purpose in your mind it will become final and ultimate, by this you will perceive and understand it for yourself. : To make any sense for the creation of the universe there is a need to start from an ultimate purpose. : If God were to create life with one supreme purpose in mind, it follows that he would be resolute in the way he creates, so that he could then satisfy this one intention. : What would God have to sacrifice if his one uncompromising goal is to create life that can love? : What price would humanity have to pay if they were created to love? : Is humanity created in the greatest way that it is possible for an ultimate loving God to form us? Is the price worth paying? : PURPOSE- DESIGN AND RISK. : When you design anything and have a demanding and uncompromising purpose to accomplish, it means some other aspects are sacrificed so that you may achieve your one aim. The more demanding the purpose is that you are trying to accomplish will mean the more you must be willing to sacrifice so that you may achieve your one goal : For example if you were to design a car purely for speed and acceleration today it would look something like a dragster. This car is intended to get to its maximum speed in the shortest time then come to a stop. This design for a car would be useless to carry a family in comfort with their luggage and also give them the ability to hold a conversation with each other. If you have a very exacting purpose to achieve such as speed there is a price to pay, you must be willing to forgo comfort, quietness, economy and the choice of shape so that you may have a chance to increase speed. Throughout humanity’s history countless thousands of people must have died in the pursuit of speed in so many different ways from horse racing right up to space travel. : It must mean that any of these people like test pilots, or racing drivers who were aware of the dangers in advance knowingly risked their life to try and achieve a purpose. : Look at the risks involved in making the first flying machines; the pilots must have known that if they ascend a few hundred feet of the ground, and experience a problem they risk injury or death. Without these risk-takers humanities feet would still be firmly on the ground. : If there were no risk takers, how would anything new begin? How would humanity progress? : LOVE AND FREEWILL. : Many people doubt the existence of God because of all the conflict and suffering that mankind has to endure; surly a loving God would not allow this to happen. If you think life is a mess, try and think of all the options open to God in the way that he could create the universe and life. : We have a general knowledge about the workings of the universe; we have a general knowledge about the history of life. This puts us in a unique position it gives us the power of hindsight. : With your knowledge you now have the free choice to look for all the ways that life could be created; so there must be a greater way to create new life in a new universe. : For this exercise to have any meaning, there is a need to ask these questions from the creators point of view, so that you may experience the emotional conflict of creation for yourself. Only search for the greatest meaning and the greatest purpose as you read this, try and make allowances because it is written in human terms. : : If I had the power of creation I could create all the beautiful stars and planets of the universe. I would become God the builder, would that satisfy my creative needs, or could I do more? : I could create a whole variety of life with almost no intelligence like plants; they will not cause me any grief with their conduct. I now become God the gardener, would that satisfy my creative needs, or could I do more? : I could create life with more intelligence to hunt for food, look for shelter, mate, and breed a future generation. If the knowledge and intelligence is limited and they do not have the freedom to love I have now created the animal kingdom. I am farmer, a pet owner. Their behaviour should not cause me too much trouble, but how can I act in accordance with the ultimate truth by creating the animal kingdom? : As God I could create life with a progressive way of gaining knowledge and intelligence. As God I could create life in my own image, a life that could understand me. Creating life in my own image is the greatest form of creation open to me. I now become God the parent; my children must be real children to me in the literal sense. I can create nothing greater because I cannot create anything greater than myself. : As a parent, or as God the parent, would I put off having children in case they may become evil? I know that any children that I have will be open to the same kind of temptations and feelings that are open to me, greed, lust, anger, pride envy, covetousness, sloth, and love. These are the temptations that we all can sucb to. As a parent, or as God the parent, with free will would I control my children and prevent them from making their own decisions, or would I teach them the difference between right and wrong and allow them to grow and make their own decisions? The choices open to any loving parent in creating life seem to be the same choices that were open to God. Can it be we have the same needs as God when it comes to creating? It is not enough to be a builder, gardener, and farmer; there is a greater need to be a parent. As a parent, or as God the parent, I should love all of my children, even if they turn to murder and by their actions they show no love in return. : As God the mother or God the father, how do I give out free will? As the creator of life I have the freedom to choose from good or evil, as the creator I do not misuse this great power. If I p it on, I know this gift can be abused; what choices are open to me? : I could with hold free will and create the ideal society where no one would fall to the temptations of anger, lust, envy, gluttony, pride covetousness, sloth, and love. Everyone would work for the good of others, putting the needs of society before their own needs freely with no grumbles. This would be like the ant society; there is no free will involved. As God, would I be satisfied in creating creatures with a predictable behaviour and with no freedom to love like the ant society? Would mankind swap free will to live selflessly like ants, or can I create in a greater way? : As God I could create life that is programmed to do anything as long as it is good and not harmful or offensive to anyone else. Would this be the greatest form of creation open to me? But how can they have the freedom to love? : I could create life on another planet the same as we have on Earth with total freedom to love, it is an awesome risk, I know that great things good and evil will happen if I do because I have already witnessed what happens on Earth. : We can be disturbed when we watch news programmes on the television and see in graphic detail the horrors and extreme conditions of life. These are God’s children, just imagine what God the parent must go through being the creator this makes him responsible and he must also feel responsible for all the good and evil that his children commit on Earth. : What kind of an emotional burden does humanity place on a loving God? It seems that God must pay a very high price emotionally to create children with the freedom to love. : If I were God how could I live with myself when I look at life on Earth? How could I put things right? Should I intervene and stop evil happening? Do I just intervene in extreme cases like murder, , child abuse, and violence? What about the murder of a drugs dealer, or injustice, theft and fraud? Where do I draw the line on when I should intervene? : If I know evil is about to happen, how do I prevent it happening? Do I have that person executed? Do I cause events to happen so evil is prevented? Do I have them locked up before the event? Do I impose my thoughts on a person’s mind so they will do things my way? : To do any of these things I am ‘God the Dictator’ a controlling God because I become judge, jury, and executioner, probably thousands of times every day. Intervention takes away free will because I am going to decide what I will allow you and everyone else to do. : If I had the power of creation to create a completely new structure of life on another planet would I have the emotional courage to create children in my own image and give them total freedom to love? Or would I create a lower form of life and only give them a conditional freedom; that is you can only do the things that I allow you to do. : If God has total freedom himself then I feel that for God to create in an ultimate way he must create real children in his own image and love them as he loves himself unconditionally. Therefore he could not control them in any way by with holding or restricting freedom. : To have freedom in this way seems the greatest way that a loving God could create life and this is the model for life that we can perceive existing on Earth today. To create life that can love is a risk, because this freedom also gives us the choice to be a saint or a serial killer or anything else : Is our life on Earth designed to teach us how to make choices between good and evil? Was life on Earth designed to be a fragile and limited existence to minimize the power but not the choices that we have to choose between good and evil? Mankind has used stone, iron and nuclear tools for both good and evil purposes. If all of humanity was born immortal and if we had the ability to gain supreme knowledge we can imagine for ourselves the chaos that would follow because we would still have the freedom to choose between good and evil. : Sadly to create life with total freedom will mean that the innocent will suffer. In terms of mans inhumanity to man it can seem that human suffering is to high a price to pay for the freedom to love. A loving all-powerful God must have known the risks involved to create life with the freedom to love. There has to be more to life. The innocent must not suffer in vain. : LOVE GOD : If we are created in God’s image and we have the freedom to love, then mankind was created to act in accordance with this ultimate purpose. But how can it make sense for God to say that the greatest quality we can have is to love God, when God can only exist in our imagination. Can we only love an imaginary God? : Would God the creator be content to create life that could only live a few years, would he be content if he never had the chance to come into contact with his children on equal terms. If God went to all the trouble of designing and creating a vast universe for the purpose of creating children in his own image, he must also have a need to be with his children on equal terms. : If God has the capacity to create life from nothing then he must also have the ability to resurrect life after death. If we choose to show our love for God and our neighbours in this life, we can then meet God face to face in a greater life after death, loving God can then become a reality. The greatest commandment is now making more sense. : Life after death with God must be God’s final purpose for humanity. : CHRIST. : How can God teach humanity his ultimate purpose without imposing his will on us by force? : What role did Christ have in the creation of the universe? : Could it be that Christ said to God the Father, if humanity strays to far from the truth, I will take human form and be a role model? : Did Christ plan his destiny, his life, and death before the creation of the universe? Or was his destiny decided for him on the day he took human form? : Was this contingency plan of Christ dying, put in place before creation began, because God knew the risks involved in creating life with the freedom to love? : Did God know that if humanity was to be created with the freedom to love, that many of his children would be innocent victims? : Did Christ know in advance the price that he would have to pay if humanity were to be created? Did he know that he would also have to be an innocent victim? : With our knowledge and hindsight could there have been any other options open to God that could have had a greater impact on humanity? : We can look at the choices available to create life in an open way, we can see the risks involved, we know the price that would have to be paid by humanity, Christ, and God. : God’s final purpose for humanity must outweigh all the suffering, sacrifices and hardships that humanity has to endure while we spend our time on Earth, otherwise he cannot be a loving God. : Was Christ’s mission to inform us of God’s purpose for the creation of the universe? : A journey begins to try and understand the power of the greatest commandments, are they the ultimate motivating force that would compel God to create the universe and life? : I have written this story in human terms because I cannot know the mind of God. I have written these words without authority from any church, because they do not appear to be in line with any of their teachings. There have been no dreams to reveal anything, this is a collection of words for you to challenge : The greatest way to understand this story is to challenge it, always look for something greater for God and for Mankind. The truth you are looking for must be right, there cannot be a ‘probably truth’. : If you sense any truth in this story, then feel free to use any of it or all of it if you wish, as I do not desire to claim any form of copy write. Feel free to write it in a greater and clearer way. : I would welcome any comments. : Yours in peace, : Eric Hyom.
