8 BILLION ROBOTS. Pt. 2

I suppose every saint and sinner, alike, have heard the story.

After God made everything he could possibly think of making, He realized His extravagant handiwork was missing only one small thing. And thus, He did something He was quite adept at doing.

^26 “And God said, ‘Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.’”

^27 “So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.” (Genesis 1:26-27)

The Lord God, the Master of the universe, the Alpha and Omega, the First and the Last, the great “I AM” created the supreme jewel of all His created beings. He fashioned and breathed life into Adam and Eve; our first parents. He formed them in His own image, and endowed them with His best attributes.

Strength, Awareness, Reason, Understanding, and Free Will

He did not withhold any of these qualities from them. For He could not be content with a people who lacked any wherewithal to serve or not serve Him, as they jolly well chose to do or not do.

And having done so, He understood the ramifications of having created such a complex being. And eons before He made the earth and the stars, He understood mankind’s propensity to resist or yield to temptation, and to make both good and bad choices.

But in His great love wherewith He has loved us, He refused to create a world full of automatons; a people who possessed absolutely no wherewithal to resist His will, or to do or not do whatever lay in his heart to do or not do.
