(5,126 posts)So sometimes I run scenarios in my head of "if I could be some super hero for God and fix it all, what would I do?"
It's stress relief and not a prayer. Watch too many super hero movies.
But by thinking about just getting the very top items I thought, "What if God decided that the whole 'Lucifer thing' is done now"?
Based on a conversation with an agnostic/atheist leaning co-worker who basically said that Lucifer kept God from killing off humanity so he's not all that bad of a guy.
So what if having Lucifer tempt humans right off the bat was part of "showing God that humans weren't worthy of His trust or time" but over time Lucifer spins it that he's only doing what needs to be done. God knows better but really wants Lucifer to turn himself around and is giving him time to change?
Then as a prophet or whatever I am able to broker this deal that Lucifer is forced to give up his spirit of rebellion and sees what he's actually done and rolls back his lies etc like some reboot of humanity. And he sees God again as he did when the world was young and then winks out of existence and we get to work repairing what's left of US without the lies.
Some people, like tRump, are too damaged and are given a simple cease to exist clause like Lucifer and make the world a better place by leaving it. The rest of US learn to deal.
BUT that is complete fantasy. The only thing it does for me is give me an idea that God may have a lot invested in ALL of US and is doing what He can to see the best result for everyone that will accept it.
I don't pray to actually have all that power, and I'm glad it's actually in God's hands and not mine.
It's just my way of over thinking it.
