Just WHO’s Universe IS this anyway? 🙂
Whoever ‘own’s it get’s to establish the rules that apply to it – ‘this is my Father’s House’ – i have to play by His rules until i can build my own…. 😉
What ‘rules’ would/will/have we put ‘in place’ and in stone????
In ‘our’ Universe’s and can anyone else live solely by them, in them?
What would be the minimum set of such rules we All could abide and live by???

I should qualify my earlier statement:
I didn’t mean to say God created it only for us (humanity)…there may well be other intelligences in the Universe… it would be theirs too. And why not…
All evidence suggests it’s a really BIG place!!

Forgive me but we were never properly ‘introduced’ over at FC. I kind of formed an early opinion of you as belonging fairly firmly into the ‘Atheist’ side of the ‘line: ————————.
If this was in any way remiss of me I do humbly apologise but if i was closer to being right than ‘wrong’ could you please ‘explain’ to J just how you ‘arrived’ at….
“Maybe God created it for us and it’s His gift to us.

Just a thought.” and the follow-up…
” didn’t mean to say God created it only for us (humanity)…there may well be other intelligences in the Universe… it would be theirs too. And why not…

:D”
Both views i am quite happy to entertain personally while Jason accuses me of ‘enabling your Atheism’ in my post…’Freaked Out Friday’ – and other places.
I say it helps you form a new perspective to allow a greater vision of what God can mean/be into your life – he says it is condemning both you and I to Hell everlasting.
Care to ‘put him straight’ on which view (his or mine) you might be personally holding closer to, currently??

Love- love the whole thought pattern..God did choose a strange way to save the world, and to lay down the rules..But it is HIS! 🙂 If it were mine, it would be in worse shape than it is as I have minimal longsuffering characteristics, and even less patience some days. I would have already destroyed it! So aren’t we all glad that it is not my world, with my rules! 🙂

Just so we’re clear…
I am not suggesting that because the world was given to us that we are free to behave as we choose.
Quite the contrary.
My view is that the universe is set up in such a way that if we are not good stewards of our world we will not be long for this world.
Its resources are finite and its environment fragile. Our future is assured only by our capacity for intelligence and wisdom and our willingness to listen to both of them.

I KNOW you did not mean this just the way you wrote it:
“Its resources are finite and its environment fragile. Our future is assured only by our capacity for intelligence and wisdom and our willingness to listen to both of them…”
Or perhaps, on second reading, the way SOME can read it!
I KNOW you meant to make it VERY CLEAR that Love has a singularly Important part to play in human ‘endeavour’ if we are ALL to ‘survive….’
the big difference i see (and i hope more than just i do) between Intelligence and wisdom is that Intelligence involves almost entorely our brains whereas Wisdom comes from the brain VIA the Heart! ❤ ❤ ❤
