"Made in your image" (Poem)

"Made in your image"

Made in your image Lord on the day that I was born

You designed all the parts together on that bright May Day morn

You gave me two arms to raise and gave me two hands to praise

I was born to worship you Lord in everything I do

You gave me two legs to walk and you gave me a mouth to talk

With ten toes that have to move a pair of feet to fit my shoes

My legs at times can sometimes run when I play around and have some fun

My fingers they are ten in all just perfect when I catch a ball

My mouth it helps me to breathe to bite you gave me lots of teeth

My nose to smell the aromatic scent my tongue then tastes it was Heaven sent

You attached on my head two ears to hear my eyes help me see things clear

You gave me lips that I could kiss there wasn’t one thing Lord that you missed

I have a stomach that stores my food with nutrients that do me good

You gave me bowels too to do the things I have to do

I don’t mean to be so crude but the bladder too gets rid of fluid

The liver, kidneys filter too they eliminate toxins that are no good

 

The lungs, pancreas and intestines all these parts they work so fine

The heart pumps at just the right rate you gave me parts to re-create

Bones and skeleton, muscles and veins a nervous system to help us feel pain

An immune system to help fight disease some people say it’s evolution, I say Oh please!

The heart it doesn’t miss a beat my rear is a nice soft seat

Sometimes you know my eyelids blink I have a brain to make me think

Which I also call my human hard drive all these parts just keep me alive

God made me intricate and so complete straight from my head down to my feet

"Did God Create Sin?" (Just a thought)

"Did God Create Sin?"

As I write this article, I would like the readers to know, that I’m not trying to be facetious in any way regarding this topic.

Over the years, this question has always been on my mind. Did God create sin?

The bible describes Lucifer or Satan as the one who tempted Eve with the fruit in the Garden of Eden.

Apparently, Lucifer had been cast down to the earth because sin and pride was found in his heart.

We learn this from these two ambiguous scriptures in Ezekiel Ch. 28 V. 1-19 also in Isaiah Ch. 14 V. 3-17

The reason that they are ambiguous is, one part talks about a king then all of a sudden, it starts to describe (as we are told), that this is now about the fall of Satan/Lucifer.

They describe how Lucifer had fallen from Heaven. 

Ezekiel Ch. 28 V. 5 says “You were perfect in all you did from the day you were created until that time when wrong was found in you” (Living Bible).

Isaiah Ch. 14 V. 12 “How you are fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning!” (Living Bible).

Question #1

If God created Lucifer and he was perfect in all he did up to a point, then where did the sinful thoughts come from?

I’ve always been told that sin cannot exist in heaven, yet, sin was found in Lucifer before he was cast out of heaven, and hence the reason he was cast out.

Therefore, if God created Lucifer, he must have created him with the ability to sin.

Here is my point, let’s say, I’m going to rebuild my engine, and after checking the parts, I find that one piston rod is bent, do I go ahead and rebuild the engine with the defective, imperfect part, or do I get a new one, before putting it all together?

If I make a loaf of bread and forget to add yeast, my bread won’t rise. I created it, so whose fault is it? I can’t blame someone else it was my creation.

If I make homemade soup and it tastes too salty, is it the soups fault? No it’s my fault; I made (created) a soup and added too much salt.

If Satan was created by God, then anything that Satan is capable of doing, must have been created by God, seeing as God created all things.

Someone or something must have given Satan the ability to sin; it had to come from somewhere. God, after all is the creator of all things. No matter where it came from, God must know why it exists.  

Question #2

Why on earth (literally), did God cast Satan down onto the earth? 

God creates Adam and Eve and tells them not to touch the fruit of a certain tree, knowing, that Eve would eventually touch the fruit.

If God is all knowing, then he must have known that Adam and Eve were going to disobey him. God already knew (apparently), that Satan was on the earth. 

If I knew there was arsenic in my yeast, I would discard it and start with something new and fresh.

Let’s just say I go ahead and make the bread anyway, why would I use something that would poison me, in fact, why would I even begin?

Therefore, God being omniscient, knowing all these things, why didn’t God dispose of Satan first, and then create Adam and Eve?

I guess according to the following scripture, God can do as He pleases without explanation to anyone; after all, He is God.

Romans 9:21

English Standard Version
“Has the potter no right over the clay, to make out of the same lump one vessel for honorable use and another for dishonorable use?” 

Having said all that, we have to keep in mind that hosts of angels (demons, as they are now called) went with Satan too. Therefore, this means that all the angels who followed were sinful in their thoughts too.

Which leads to another question, can angels in Heaven right now, become sinful too?

If sin was possible in Heaven thousands of years ago, can it still be possible today and millions of years from now. If it happened once, could it happen again, for example, to Michael or Gabriel?
