Likewise, as the gardener cultivates the earth and plant seeds that will in time yield fruit, a shepherd takes on a flock that he will raise; a vessel is filled with habitat and living things that will likewise in time take on a life of its own, so too does the creator provide habitation and sow seeds in which to grow for all time.
The father of man was created after his father’s image and likeness, formed as a perfect spiritual being, but adolescent. He was given a not so simple command that would try his resistance of evil and his obedience to his creator. Although man did not have the presence of mind of good and evil, evil was present as a negative influence which led to mans demise and thus being clothed in flesh hindering man’s immortality.
The letdown by man and subsequent sins of his offspring for generations prompted his creator to likely start anew, but for compassion he instead spared his man and made necessary changes that further limited man. However man would once again corrupt himself facilitating the need for instruction that was finally reinforced by a living example for man to follow.
Likewise, as the gardener removes weeds to ensure the survival of his flower, a shepherd directs and redirects his flock, and the keeper of the ant farm may shake things up; so too must the creator intervene.
Consequently mankind was now faced with a perhaps more difficult, daunting challenge to defy the suppressive weight of flesh on spirit to redeem his original pure naked status.
Likewise as the gardener provides to ensure a healthy growth, the shepherd protects his flock, and the keeper of the ant farm oversees; so too must the creator protect, correct, and nourish.
Conversely, evil has no nurturing ability, no creative capability but devoid and cannot sustain life as it is the absence of love.
Likewise, the gardener consumes the fruit of his labor to preserve himself, the shepherd uses the wool of his flock, the keeper keeps, so too must the creator use his man to perpetuate the infinite expansion of the cycle of life and space.
As man transcends the physical constraints of his existence only having accepted and retained the manifestation of his creator stall he be fruitful and multiply after his kind beyond the parameter of what is known and unknown by man.
Man as we know him is the conception of the failures of man, salvation, and ultimately the creator’s love for his man. Much has been given and much is destined unto man therefore much will be required from man during his course of supernatural apprenticeship.
