  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

See if you can recognize the common patterns in this story. I'm obviously not sure about the first chapter, but humor me for the moment.

Prologue

The creation wants to become the creator and worship the creation instead of being content to be the creation and worship the creator. So the creator became the creation and worshipped the creator instead of being content to remain the creator and worship his creation.

Chapter 1

Once upon a time there was nothing. Nothing then became something, just as the very word nothing causes nothing to become something. That something is God. God then created angels, mankind, and the whole universe in 6 days. God was pleased with his creation, and so long as it worshipped him he would worship it. God then decided he wanted to be like his creator and/or return to his sleeping state of nothingness again, and rested on the 7th day. Of course God is eternally existent, even in his non-existant state. It is merely dreaming to him.

Chapter 2

Lucifer wanted to be like God and rebelled along with a third of his angels. They were cast down into hell and made into hideous demons. Meanwhile Mankind were perfect and immortal, but they too wanted to be like God. Since you can't improve on perfection the upgrade turned out to be a downgrade, we gained the knowledge of good and evil, but now, like God, we also had to return to a nonexistent state.

Chapter 3

Mankind created idols with their own hands and worshipped them. They also worshipped demons and strange gods. They created children and sacrificed them to demons and strange gods. They created children and instead of caring for the work of their loins they demanded their obedience and assimilated them into their customs and religions. In some cases, the children even grew up and slew their fathers. In all cases the younger generation beheld the older pass away and then created a newer one. The world became wicked, there was a great flood, only Noah survived.

Chapter 4

Noah's ark was the sole survivor of the flood. Then came a one world order established with a tower of babel that would resist any flood, and out from the one was born confusion and many tribes and peoples. Mankind then created governments and worshipped themselves as pharoah god kings who took slaves for themselves. They also created money and altered the value of all objects. Through Moses the people defied their god kings and became a free people, Israel, ruled only by God. Israel eventually wanted a king, to be like Egypt who created her, and thereby fell from grace and eventually died.

Chapter 5

From Israel was born Christ, the living son of God, the king of kings, but Christ didn't want to be a king. He wanted people to love one another and be free, like Israel used to be before she became authoritarian and under heavy laws. He introduced the spirit of grace and freed us from the law of Israel, except for the divinely inspired ten commandments which became summarized through love. Rather then be God Jesus wanted to become a servant, a mere mortals like us. Though he was perfect and could have lived forever Jesus himself ate some forbidden fruit, all our sins. He then went to hell and rose from the dead to give us the Holy Spirit.

Chapter 6

Out of the one Christ came many holy spirit filled Christians. These were perfected in love and also wanted to be free and ruled by God. Out of the free people came empires and much war and conquest. Finally out of the empires came the free country America. Out of America came the gospel preached onto all nations. Out of this comes the antichrist and the beast. Mankind creates the machine, the perfect idol. If the robots could become like us they would also die. Man makes his final attempt to ascend into becoming God while many Christians humbly die for their faith. God had created all things in 6 days. The elite turned the world into a single government and made everyone take 666 and worship the creation instead of the creator.

Chapter 7

God wakes up, destroys the world, and rescues and resurrects his people. They return to the perfection they had in Eden and reign with him for 1000 years. Then everyone else is judged and God creates the new heaven and earth.

Morale, summary, TLDR:

The story of Creation is that it wants to become Creator and then dies.
The story of Creator is that it wants to become Creation and then dies.
The story of One is that it wants to become Many and then dies.
The story of Many is that it wants to become One and then dies.
The story of People is that they become Government and then die.
The story of Government is that they become People and then die.
The story of Christ is that everyone who died finally lives.

Well, not quite as elegant as I'd hoped, but I was hoping to find a common pattern in all things. I like to indulge in free thinking like this from time to time.
