What was the reason for creation?, page 1

Unfortunately there isn't an easy answer to the questions you've asked. Each person is faced with something at some point in their life that makes then stop and say, "this doesn't make any sense". It is wonderful that you and your wife have decided to adopt children. Perhaps that is why you're here. Maybe the kid you're going to adopt would have had a difficult life had you two not been there for him/her.

I feel like I can relate to your frustrations... atleast in some way. My parents had a very difficult time getting pregnant... or as my mother said, "staying pregnant". There is a 7 year gap between my brother and me. My brother had a twin that died, and my parents had 6 miscarrages between us. When they finally did concieve me they were preparing to adopt, and even after I was born my parents lost two more children. It is sad, and unfortunate, but when you become a father you'll look at your child and feel the satisfaction of getting to know that person. Especially knowing how hard you and your wife worked to become parents.

I think that as humans there is definitely a higher plan for us, and maybe in 1000 years we'll know what that is... and i don't mean it in a religious way.

Best of luck to you.
You're definitely doing the right thing.

Or the bibles were written by imperfect beings in another langauge and then translated from that langauge to another to another all by imperfect beings in otherwords US.
It stands to reason, to me at least, that the book is imperfect as well.

Or maybe, the book was a copy of much early one.
Any way you look at it, you have to try to find the original source before claiming that it is the words of god.
Yes for sure bible scholar tells us when it was written and who did wrote it, but they seems to avoid questions about discrepancy (or they give us some twisted interpretations) and overwhelming similarity with much older scriptures.

I seem to remember them saying multiple people over time wrote it. Eh. Who knows.
But I fail to see where your disagreeing, could be cause it's late, but splain please? You lost me somewhere.

OH yea I messed up in what I was saying earlier as well.

Written in imperfect langauge and translated into another imperfect langauge, then another.
You really gotta admit langauge is a rather lousy way to comunicate. But it IS all we have.

I don’t disagree with any thing.
The question is what the reason for creation.
You can only start to answer if you know exactly where this creation business comes from in the first place.
The Old Testament has been shown to regenerate this ideal of creation; I will dispute the originality of the bible because it is too similar to the Sumerian tablet which depicts all what is in the bible in a very different light.
My apprehension is that the Sumerian tablet are fare older then the bible, inscribe on them are the epic of creation which tells us of a very different process of creation where by, not God with the big “G” but gods with small “g” had created us.
Therefore I come back to what you have written as we have been created by inperfect beings.
Now the Sumerian gives us a reason of our creation, which I have difficulty to accept…but this could be a long story.

And the Sumerian accounts most likely have a basis in far older script and so and so forth.
Time distorts.
In the end, who knows.
Not saying we shouldn't seek the truth, just saying we must always take even our own beliefs with a grain of salt.
Simple fact is who REALLY knows?

Well. IMHO the bible is flawed.
Your welcome to follow it of course I am in no position to judge the path you chose. And would die for your right to believe it. Even if you believe I would go to hell after that. Just don't try to send me there (otherwords try to kill me).
Just don't expect me to follow it or even be able to fathom what I see (meaning only in my opinion) as cracked logic.
