1. What is the purpose of our existence .. God created us to look after the earth and the animals and each other under his guidance and protection, we were never meant to get old or die, but procreate on the earth and fill it and look after it, that is why we don't want to die, that is why death is such a terrible thing.. it was never meant to be
2. So Why isnt that the way it is ? .. you will have humour me here, and take the account in genesis about adam and Eve in the garden of eden and believe it really happened
Lets take in the fact that the serpent who spoke to her was satan who was also an angel in heaven, now lets say he seen an opportunity here, that he decided he didnt want to live under Gods rule and wanted to do his own thing, but he needs a few allies so he picks on Gods newest creation Adam and Eve, in his insidous way he knew God told them not to eat from the tree or they would die, so knowing they were still pretty niave, he implies that God is lying to them and is actually holding something back from them and makes them believe that by eating from the tree they will become like God and they wouldn't die.. this was the first lie, and Adam and eve realised this after they ate from the tree.
So basically what Satan done by this small act is question if God has the right to rule over his subjects he creates or would they be better of without them?
now if God had destroyed satan, adam and eve right there and then, the question of his right to have a say over us would still be there, and called to question by the other angels
So the only option God had to prove if satan's accusations, were true or false and that we would be better of without God was to let the events play out in that way and let men rule themselves for a period of time
But because Adam and Eve had already disobeyed God and become imperfect which is what sin is, and what also causes death, it would also passed onto their offspring I guess it just messed up our gentetic code so that we ended up growing old and dying
But God had not given up his orginal purpose for us, but because thanks to Adam and eve disobedience it doomed us to imperfection sickness, but death he put in a plan to save us from that
Whilst satan was busy setting up his new rulership over earth, God was setting up his own to counteract it. and bring about a means of saving us, because he knew that not all of Adam and Eve's offspring would want to go along with the rebellion, and they want to worship God. but someone had to buy back the perfection for us that adam and eve lost
and because a it was perfect man had lost what we were meant to be, it had to be a perfect man, who would get us back on track which was why Jesus came into the earth,
When Jesus performed thos miracles like healing the sick, feeding the hungry bringing people back to life, even calming the sea showing he had power over the elements, he was actually showing this is what God wants for us and what he intends to do when he gets rid of satan..
the reason why he allowed the suffering ect to go on was to show this is the result of Satan rebellion, when he claimed we can manage without God, it does not bring us a better life, we can see this for ourselves.
Humans have tried all sorts of goverments. he has let them reach their potential scientifically and with all the technology ect. but the truth is people are still suffering and people are still dying, and its full of corruption and the world is not a great place a times
But God has set a time when he will say, enough is enough.. I have proved my point, and he will step in and do away with what we have now, and replace it with his goverment
and he will fulfill his original purpose which was to have the earth filled with people living happily together looking after it. and the animals and each other, there will be no more death no more suffering no more sickness or crime ect, and he will undo all the things that have happened, even resurrecting all our loved ones, are family and friends so we can be with them again, including all those that have died through human conflicts and natural disasters,
that is what the whole bible from beginning to end is trying to tell you
not that you will burn in hell, or its gods will that we suffer and die then all go up to heaven to be with him. or that he is some abstract being that doesnt care for us
