god and omniscience

i just had this one epiphany whiles walking one day

Omniscience this is idea of attaining all knowledge in the universe

Absolute knowledge, this is the knowledge that only god can attain.

But if god did have this knowledge then why creates us?

Even if we choose to argue inherent omniscience

It still doesn’t explain why would god create us?

 

In order to explain this thought, in order to keep on believing

I the writer of this piece came to a postulation

I know not if this poetry anymore 

But I must write this in a form of anything before it dissipates into the abyss of my life.

 

What If god himself does not know all the answer’s what if?

It’s not inherent what if god created humans to be an experiment

What if he created us with this “free will” not so that he can rule us but

To  learn from us? , instead of having one basis

God thought to himself I can have seven billion notions on how to handle a situation

God created us not to follow him but to oppose him, to give him new ideas

He created us so that he himself can learn from us.

An intelligent, quite defensible point of view, 20. There are many.
Truly enjoyed reading this thoughtful work.
Have found it infinitely easier, however, to love God, than trying to understand Him.
At present, human beings simply do not possess the wherewithal for such a cosmic undertaking.

[Peter H]

true , it will take generations to understand such a being , i liked your review . thank you :)

I have pondered the meaning of your deep and thoughtful questions, too. I came to much of the same conclusion you have. I understood that the only way for God to experience and manifest his light (his love) was to create, over and over. then, to experience the reflection of this light, his love, back unto himself.... How could you experience the universe you have willed into creation (with the physical laws you've allowed to take root) if you have no body, no receptors spread out into the universe in which to do so? How could you understand who you are (a being of pure love) if you don't also create the opposite too, in which to contrast it? meaning, light is better appreciated in a room full of darkness... I like that you brought this up in a poem, Peter, because it's one of my favorite subjects to wonder about; which is basically if there is a God, why us? Why all of this?

[Peter H]

I've basically pondered this many times , in many religious arguments based on the principles of many religions and deity . and from those experiences i came up with this conclusion or hypothesis . omniscience is a great argument among philosophers and religious advocates the law of causality as well . these are things i read because i question a god instead of following him . i think that is what he truly wanted he never wanted docile pets but people to help him see liberally , i'd much rather believe that than to believe we were meant to be submissive to a gods will . this is all assuming though that a supreme deity thus exist , i think we as humans foster this hope because if we don't foster the hope of an afterlife then would life itself be worth living ?

[Peter H]

i think all in all we need this belief in the supernatural to at least escape the mundane hopelessness in our lives .

[Tree]

Yes, it's about finding your own way. Free will would not be an option if we were meant to be just pets. I suspect we shall all find the answer one day; one way or another.

[Coyote Poetry]

I believe God create the planet and people with free-will. I don't know if he is watching. Chaos and craziness had left this Earth in a bad place. I like your ideas. Thank you for sharing your thoughts.

thank you coyote poetry you have an interesting alias i'll return the review soon my friend

[Marie]

Can't say that I agree with it, but it's certainly another way of looking at things. A fresh viewpoint is always welcome.

[Peter H]

well its from perspective , its mostly just an hypothesis to open our minds to liberal ways of thinking i never liked believing that a question has only one answer i'm the type of person who believes that they're infinte ways to approach all matters it just depends on the individuals forte :)

[TL Boehm]

That's an interesting concept. My belief is that we are companions - not necessarily teachers for God - but I still think the poem makes one consider one's own position and it is always good to be able to articulate what you believe, what you think. Very thought provoking poem. Well done.

[Peter H]

i;m happy you liked it thank you for the review .

[Sami Khalil]

Food for thought . Well penned...:)

[Peter H]

thank you very much my friend your review is most appreciated than you for stopping by .

[Sami Khalil]

My pleasure. Any time...:)

[Brandon S. Whitten]

Interesting thought. Good read and write. But what makes us so sure God is a he?

[Peter H]

since he is prime i just used he . what makes us so sure theirs only one god ? so many questions and each one can only be assumed or speculated thats the hing about a deity their is only belief in them there is really no hard evidence .

[Brandon S. Whitten]

I wouldn't be so sure, the unknown doesn't need proof. it's an experience.

[A. H. Pinley]

Does it really matter the gender? Same question is asked about Jesus. Does it really matter the tone of his skin? Hard evidence is staring back at us in the mirror everyday. Intelligent design to fullest. We know who we are. Can the same be said about a dog, a horse? It's perfectly fine to have these questions, these doubts.

[Peter H]

actually according to matthew 22:30 which i recently read it clearly stated umm angels are gender neutral and i believe god himself may be the same thing . but again this is clearly just hypothesis .

[A. H. Pinley]

Which answers my question, does it matter?

[A. H. Pinley]

If we're going to get tripped up over whether God is male or female we've missed the boat. God said it is unhealthy for man to be alone. God created an order and we man broke it. Your questions are healthy.

Art,
That is what this idea is. i think it makes for a very powerful spoken word piece already. This is by far one of my favorite pieces from you Peter. I mean seriously you capture so much thought within here and with it a feeling of getting to know you or at least your mind. i find much philosophy to this and ever more some ideas to truly consider and ponder. Most excellent Peter.
I absolutely love this, do you intend to write from this or is this the finished copy? The reason I ask is I was wanting to place it in my library. It is that good. But i want whatever is your finished version. I could place it in there for now also and change it out if you intend to write from this.
Pure art and philosophy friend.
Sincerely
Christopher

May I place this in my library and or it's counterpart please?

[Peter H]

of course you can , bro . but i do intend to tidy it up somewhat when i gain more experience and knowledge i'm happy you enjoyed this . i will send you a first copy when i'm finish re-editing it somewhat but i'm happy you loved this thank you very much for the review my friend .

[Peter H]

i really did wish more people found this piece to be a thought inspring as you and mr. jacob did . i would have loved more insight into other indvidual thoughts on this but nevertheless i'm gleeful for your review.

[unsavable_soul]

It is my pleasure,
I find the same problem often, however giving it your best and giving to others what you want yourself is the best for of leadership. So just keep on keeping on friend. I am here when I can be. Thanks again for the interesting read and having it in my library.
Chris

[SHEEMA HUQ]

A revealing insight in to your faith and your relationship with God, your projections are considered carefully, thanks for sharing

[Peter H]

hmmmmmmmmm , its much of a faith like christianity i do believe in a deity yes , but the concept of having complete and docile fate baffles me , the concept of living your existence to please one makes me sick lol

[jacob erin-cilberto]

what an interesting concept...god creating us in order to learn more about himself.

He created us in his image...so to speak..so yes, he might be learning from us.

what if he isn't omniscient, omnipotent or omnipresent and is more like us than we are like him.

i find this a piece i will revisit...i like a poem that leaves me pondering.

[Peter H]

exactly , i'm happy you enjoyed it mr.jacob , love your review's
