Truth vs. Good

what i learned this morning.

learned item #1:

truth does not equal good... in otherwords, these are not the same... it can not be assumed that truth itself will always produce good. It does not.

The serpent told the truth to Eve in the garden that if she ate the fruit of the tree of knowledge of good and evil she would become LIKE God himself - knowing both good and evil. He told her the truth. But knowing the truth in itself was not a good thing - for Eve, and Adam, and for all their children forever.

this is one of the secrets of the story of the garden.

hmmmm...

I always assumed that truth = good. That if I could find the knowledge and facts and history and truth of the story and nature of man and God and earth - that that would be good.

Wrong-oh!

learned item #2:

God is not the god of this world... in fact there probably is no god of this world other than the billions of human beings living here. Each.

(Jesus, David, and God all said humans were gods - look it up.)

consider Jesus's prayer:

"Daddy - who lives in ANOTHER WORLD"
"Hallowed by thy name" - whatever it is, however its pronounced, hats off to the eternal taboo of man that words in this world are a bridge to the next - including the power to tap into or offend that other world.
"May Your world come."
"May Your will" (and desires and control and government) be done -
"in THIS world like it is in YOUR world."

Get it? God is god of his own world. Not this one. His will isn't done here on earth. Jesus said we should pray and ask him and wish that it would happen.

So if he is the god of heaven then he's not the god of earth which is where I live - here - 3D visual, green, planet with blue water as seen from the space shuttle.

Conclusion: There is no God - in this world. (God being defined as the supreme being of "Good" and all-mighty power that makes all things happen)


if i combined this items i could conclude that if the God we understand and believe in (Supreme all-mighty loving power in another world) does NOT EXIST IN THIS WORLD

and

it may not actually be good to know this (truth does NOT = good), then its probably best to believe that there is a God over our world even though there isn't one.

So, the Great God in Heaven may be there but He's not here but its good to pretend that he is. (presto! - religion!)

Everybody - one big group-hug illusion - let's prayer and pretend He answers, hears us, does what we ask (if its good and He knows its good - which nullifies the whole request kinda doesn't it?) and gives us comfort and relief and salvation and hope etc. etc.
