Coming to know Christ

Imagine if you will that God is the ultimate computer programmer and that He designed this artificial life game called the sims. He gave these sims the power to make their own choices and even gave them the ability to communicate with Him. They are intellegent creatures without any faults, but they are completely innocent. They do not know the difference between right and wrong. They are like the animals they are to rule over innocent.

Now God wants these creatures to love Him and be loyal to Him but in order for them to do this they need to be tested. He gives them one rule not to break. They can do anything else their hearts desire but they can't break this one rule. He tells them not to eat of the tree in the middle of their world. If they do then He gave this tree the power to create in them the knowledge of right and wrong.

Now another set of creatures that HE created before the sims are a type of robot that actually live in His plane of existence and He created these robots with intellegence and the knowledge of good and evil already so they are not innocent but they are pure. But like the sims they also have free will and emotions just like the sims do.

Now God tells them that they are like God also just like them but in a different way. He expects them to help Him take care of the sims just like a child would be expected to take care of a pet. One of them the first and most advanced robot of them all, he is like a android, thinks why should I take care of creatures that exist only on a computer. Are not we better then them? Why should we serve them?

What they do not realise is that by taking care of them, just like we take care of a pet that it actually makes them better than the sims. It makes them the sims masters. But they don't see it that way. so the greatest one talks to some of the others and convinces a third of His robots to follow him and try to destroy the sims and become more like God.

So the android called lucifer goes to the computer and chats, using the keyboard and a sim animal called a snake, to the female of the sims. He knows that the male sim was created first and is not easly tricked but the female sim who has not been around as long is easily tricked. So he talk her into eating one of the apples.

She eats one and brings one to the male sim called adam. Adam sees her and instantly knows that she has done wrong by eating the apple but he loves her and wants to be with her so he eats the apple too. Now they know the difference between good and evil. so they try to hide from their programmer God. Which is silly to do because He knows where everything is because He made it.

Now God had spent years making the sims and their world and because they are so advaced and so much like Him in certain ways that He loves them as though they were His children. He nows that they have sinned and is sad beyond belief. They have failed their test. He knew that they might do this because He gave them free will. He also knows that lucifer tricked the woman into eating the apple but that adam was not tricked, He knew adam ate it willingly because he loved eve. Adam knew that what he had done was wrong.

God does not want to destroy them and start over so He comes up with a plan. A way to save them so that they can eventually be transformed into androids like lucifer by using their minds and spirits. But the only way to save them is to have someone like them who knows good and evil already but is sinnless to take their punishment for them so that they can become His children in every since of the word. So He tells them about His plan but tells them that is will be several generations down the line so that they themselves will not see it happen but one of their decendents will.

Part one over part two coming up next.
