What Was Missing??
Here are a few of my thoughts of why we had to experience good and evil.
What was missing?
Okay, we ask ourself, if we came out of God and are just returning to God, then why the necessity of the Adamic experience? Why the middle-man experience of Adam? Why didn't God just remain self-contained as God-All-In-One instead of God ex-pressing out of Himself the All?
I think the answer is to know or 'become' good and evil. "The Man is become as one of us, to know good and evil." This also illustrates the difference between man's idea about 'knowing' and God's. Man thinks to 'know' something is to think about it - just information - information retrieval and storage. But God's definition is "to become it'. To know good and evil, we had to become it. This was what was missing!
We were not to remain as innocent celestial spirits but spirits lowered into and clothed with flesh and blood, men tried and proven and developed in experiential righteousness.
Eph. 5:14 Wherefore he saith, Awake thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead, and Christ shall give thee light.
Yes, God took a nap in matter(us) for a little season, but he is waking up and raising from the dead! But because there is only One Power, you can take your God power while you are asleep or unenlightened and miscreate with it. This is what the prodigal son did.
When God or the seed of life in us is asleep or not quickened to life or not conscious, we are sleepwalkers. We go about our, so called, life in a state of sleep which the bible calls death. But because there is really only one Power or Energy or Life in this universe, then what creates this thing we call evil is the only power that exists, God! But, it is God asleep, and undeveloped as man. I call it God in reverse- in reverse gear. The word E-V-I-L is the word L-I-V-E spelled backwards. Evil is living life in reverse. That's why we have to repent or turn around. We are going in the wrong direction. We are using our God-endowed creative abilities to miscreate with. But there is a people coming of full age now able to discern BOTH good and evil and having our senses exercised to know and in truly knowing we can choose again. "As for me and my house (spirit, soul and body) we will serve the Lord".
