THE NEGATIVE ETERNITY ! A MUST READ ! A MUST THINK !

PART 1

Fact. So far,

We have always referred to eternity as an expanse of time that has no end, commencing from the judgment day, where everything on this earth will be destroyed by the almighty GOD. Then came the concept of hell and heaven, where we will spend our eternities. We start our existence from Adam.


The Negative Eternity
I am extremely tempted to think that if we can believe that our spirits are immortal and eternity is a concept wherein time has no end, and people after their death spend eternity in hell or heaven, we should also think about the Negative Eternity.We can compare eternity with the concept of infinity, both have no end and you can apply infinity to time.

Question:1.
What was there before Adam?, Before the big bang? Before the nebula, what was God doing before the earth was created? The expanse of time runs in reverse too. Like BC, am talking about BE,” Before Earth". Let’s call it the Negative Eternity.
2. Human existence on this planet earth is only as old as 50000 years, with only 250 generations from Adam (Authentic information). So in the light of Negative Eternity, People,Earth,religion or anything else on this earth only forms a tiny spec which grows smaller and smaller day by day as the negative eternity couples with positive eternity.
We are not a significant thing at all!

PART 2

THE EVOLVING GOD!

We can apply the concept of evolution to God also in the light of eternity.Eg. Laws of God. Moses: Eye for an Eye, Jesus : Forgiveness , Muhammed Sal.: Eye for an eye but if you forgive you will be seen high in the eyes of God.We can clearly see the evolution of God's laws to mankind.2. Moosa,Adaam,Ibrahim, Eesa (peace be upon them all) were not a Muslim, Islam was not announced to Mankind until Prophet Muhammed (PBUH)). We can see the change in his messages and laws and his instructions to man kind. So can we say that God also evolves along with time? So if he can evolve so much in the last 50000 years then what was he like some 5000000000 years ago? What was he ruling? What were his creations then?

Eternity- When the earth is destroyed by God and we all are brought back to life on Judgment day. Some of us go to hell and the others to heaven. We will spend our Eternities in our respective hell and heaven. Then, what will be God doing? Won’t he get bored because people in hell cant do mistakes and people in heaven wont do mistakes? Won’t the people in heaven get bored in life spending an eternity doing nothing? Just imagine!

ETERNAL PUNISHMENT!

Punishments are derived from three doctrines.
1.Punishment should transform the wrong doer into a better person.(juvenile prison)

2.Punishment should deter the wrong doer from committing the same mistake again and should also threaten others and forbid them from committing similar crimes.(imprisonment)

3. Punishment should scare the society to an extent that they wont even think of committing a crime.(death sentence)

So, In the light of religion and eternity,The Punishment of hell does not fall under any of these doctrines.Because, everyone is dead and all have been brought back to life so either you are in hell or heaven. And..

1. Hell and heaven are places where people cannot do mistakes or sins. SO, no need for reforms or corrections.

2. People in heaven cannot change and get back to heaven.So there is no point in them repenting for their earthly sins in hell or heaven, because it’s of no consequence.

3. People in heaven will see these people in hell getting punished for crimes which cannot be committed in heaven, so it’s neither a threat nor a message for the others.

4. So these punishments do not help the people of hell or heaven. So, it serves no purpose what so ever.

And if someone will ask God , why didn’t you create me as an angel who is constantly, all his life, praying you?, why did you create me as a human with all weaknesses, then tempt me and punish me? In the Eternity of Space and Time Our knowledge of God is trivial.In my opinion, The Scholars of theology, collectively, know only less than a grain of sand about God or faith or even the concept of God or religion.

What’s your thought?

Those are very interesting thoughts. I thank you for inviting us to share our thoughts on this. Here is my 2 cents.

1)What was there before Adam?, Before the big bang?
I like this quote in Contact " I don't know if there are aliens out there. But, what I know is if it's just us, then it's an awful waste of space". Again, "utility" is a variable. While I use computer for blogging, someone might use it for chat alone. Utility is based on our need. Why is there so much space? - makes no sense to us but if we do consider the possibility of God's existence, probably we should understand.It is beyond the scope of the mind controlled by time and space to jump out of it's orbit to understand what really happened before all creations were created. There might have been some other creations, evolutions or there might not have been so. We are still struggling to figure out how many planets are in our solar system. There are theories that space is infinite. It need not be. For an ant, my house is an infinite space. not for me. Man is dwarfed by the magnitude of nature. It will take a wild guess to even assume theories of eternity in space and time. But yes, If we'll have to beleieve eternity prevails, we are in a tiny capsule dropped into ocean.Your conclusion is pretty much my prespective too.

THE EVOLVING GOD? :God need not evolve. But his creations should. If I have the right to turn my living room to bedroom, my friends will adapt to the changes I create. I believe, God can change rules and it's upto his creations to adapt and be in the game.I think God is too perfect to evolve!

But, I strongly beleieve that God does change the rules of the game based on people's change in mindset. For instance, we don't need rules for homosexuality until somewhere down the Adam's line a man starts it.

ETERNAL PUNISHMENT:
Punishment has it's value as long as freewill exists. If "freewill" is removed, the man becomes a machine that will just do what ever he's supposed to do. Because, "not doing" is not an option.If an angel has the freewill to choose wrong which explains Lucifer's orgin, I guess there is a great deal of freewill out there outside the timecapsule(life) too. So, It makes sense that God punishes evil doers with eternal hell because souls in heaven will always be on toes.

I must say that your thoughts were quite out of the box and encourage your mind box to throw more of these..
