"new heaven and new earth" isn´t that waht christianity use to say that the universe and the earth will be destroyed?

Answer 1

Does God Really Care About Us?


Part 6
Why God Has Permitted Suffering
WHAT went wrong? What took place that spoiled the fine start God gave our first parents in the Paradise of Eden? Why, instead of the peace and harmony of Paradise, have wickedness and suffering prevailed for thousands of years?

The reason is that Adam and Eve misused their free will. They lost sight of the fact that they were not created to prosper apart from God and his laws. They decided to become independent of God, thinking that this would improve their lives. So they stepped outside the God-ordained limits of free will.—Genesis, chapter 3.

The Issue of Universal Sovereignty
Why did God not just destroy Adam and Eve and start over with another human pair? Because his universal sovereignty, that is, his inalienable right to rule, had been challenged.

The question was: Who has the right to rule, and whose rule is right? His being almighty and the Creator of all creatures gives God the right to rule over them. Since he is all-wise, his rule is best for all creatures. But God's rule had now been challenged. Also, was there something wrong with his creation—man? We will later examine how the question of human integrity is involved.

God has allowed time for humans to come to the peak of their achievements

By man's becoming independent of God, another question was implied: Could humans do better if not ruled by God? The Creator certainly knew the answer, but a sure way for humans to find out was to allow them the total freedom they wanted. They chose that course of their own free will, so God permitted it.

By allowing humans enough time to experiment with total freedom, God would establish for all time whether humans are better off under God's rule or on their own. And the time permitted would have to be long enough to allow humans to come to what they considered the peak of their political, industrial, scientific, and medical achievements.

Therefore, God has allowed man a free rein clear down to our day to show beyond any doubt whether human rule independent of him can succeed. Thus man has been able to choose between kindness and cruelty, between love and hate, between righteousness and unrighteousness. But he has also been confronted with the consequences of his choice: goodness and peace or wickedness and suffering.

Rebellion of Spirit Creatures
There is another factor to consider. Our original parents were not the only ones to rebel against God's rule. But who else was in existence at the time? Spirit creatures. Before God created humans, he created a higher form of life, great numbers of angels, to live in the heavenly realm. They too were created with free will and also with the need to submit to God's rule.—Job 38:7; Psalm 104:4 Revelation 5:11.

The Bible shows that rebellion first broke out in the spirit realm. A spirit creature wanted total freedom. He even wanted humans to worship him. (Matthew 4:8, 9) This spirit rebel became a factor in influencing Adam and Eve to rebel, claiming falsely that God was withholding something good from them. (Genesis 3:1-5) So he is called Devil (Slanderer) and Satan (Adversary). Later, he induced other spirit creatures to rebel. They became known as demons.—Deuteronomy 32:17; Revelation 12:9; 16:14.

Humans, by rebelling against God, gave themselves over to the influence of Satan and his demons. That is why the Bible calls Satan "the god of this system of things," who "has blinded the minds of the unbelievers." Hence, God's Word says that "the whole world is lying in the power of the wicked one." Jesus himself called Satan "the ruler of this world."—2 Corinthians 4:4; John 5:19; John 12:31.

Two Issues
Satan raised another issue that challenged God. In effect, he charged that God was mistaken in the way He created humans and that no one would want to do the right thing when put under pressure. In fact, he claimed that under test they would even curse God. (Job 2:1-5) In this way Satan called into question the integrity of the human creation.

Therefore, God has permitted enough time for all intelligent creatures to see how this issue as well as the issue of God's sovereignty would be resolved. (Compare Exodus 9:16.) The eventual experience of human history would reveal the truth about these two issues.

First of all, what would time reveal regarding the issue of universal sovereignty, the rightness of God's rule? Could humans rule themselves better than God? Would any system of human rule apart from God usher in a happy world free from war, crime, and injustice? Would any eliminate poverty and provide prosperity for all? Would any conquer sickness, old age, and death? God's rule was designed to do all of that.—Genesis 1:26-31.

Regarding the second issue, what would time reveal as to the worth of the human creation? Was it a mistake for God to have created humans the way he did? Would any of them do the right thing under test? Would any people show that they wanted God's rule instead of independent human rule?

Answer 2

I am honestly unsure of what you are getting at.
If he had destroyed the universe right of the bat, then we wouldn't be here now would we (speaking from a christian perspective). Also, I have never in all my years of church and being a member of a Christian family, been under the impression that he had any intention of destroying it all (he tried that once, you know, with the flood, it was a way of starting over, plus he hasn't done anything like it since. )
Adam and Eve were given another chance, outside of paradise.
Satan, is a fallen angel, and while he and god aren't exactly friends, he is the one who punishes those who god deems wicked or unworthy of heaven.
Lastly, god will not destroy the world, we will. God gave us all free will and the tools to live life properly, and unfortunatly we take that for granted. We humans, because we tend to be selfish and don't take care of what we have been given, will be the end of the earth. IMHO.

Answer 3

Good Question!

No one, including Christians, have a rational answer for that. They have responses, arguments, rationalizations... but no answer.

Presumably, we (and the whole world and universe et al) are "created" for the sole purpose of testing our souls. The idea is that God, although perfect and all knowing, likes to check his work. It's sort of like a giant Quality Control project. If he ( the perfect and infallible one) makes us in his image, then we are perfect too, except not. We have to prove our worth by suffering and believing at the same time. I think that's where the word job came from. ( Job ) The whole deal is great, if heaven is what is it advertised. We haven't gotten any confirmed reports of that yet. They're all with the missing WMDs. The advertisements for heaven are a lot like some time share deals, raw deal and not real.

From Gawd's point of view, It wouldn't make sense to destroy it all up front. Then he wouldn't get the fun of torturing... (ahem... excuse me) I mean "testing" his flock.

Answer 4

Jehovah God, The God of Love. He is the Alpha (beginning) and the Omega (End). The God Almighty. The God of the Universe. The Creator of ALL Things. The God of Mercy. I can go on and on. The all Powerful, all Knowing God would never put up a white flag to Satan. Who is Satan compared to Jehovah God? Satan is nothing. When God created Adam and Eve He had huge plans for humans and the earth. His plans must go on for that is the purpose of all His creations. Jehovah God got so much love for humans that He will make sure nothing comes in the way of fulfilling every promise that He had made to mankind; that mankind will love Him back. That is what Jehovah wants from us Love, a Love that He longs for. Its to bad some of us won't make it to see the paradise promised. Jehovah God cannot lie, all what He said and promised in the Bible will be and nothing less.

Answer 5

If God were to destroy anything, he could have destroyed Satan when he rebelled. Evidently there is a bigger issue at stake here, mainly, "who's the boss." We have to remember that there is also a "heavenly audience" watching this show.

Answer 6

properly evaluate The billions of Angels observing this disagreement .....extreme subject concerns have been raised via devil: (a million) The righteousness and rightfulness of Jehovah’s sovereignty. became Jehovah withholding from mankind freedom that should make contributions to their happiness? have been mankind’s skill to control their affairs effectively and their persisted existence somewhat based on their obedience to God? Had Jehovah been cheating in giving a regulation that suggested that disobedience would deliver approximately their dying? (Gen. 2:sixteen, 17; 3:3-5) So, did Jehovah truly have the superb to rule? (2) The integrity of clever creatures in direction of Jehovah. via the deflection of Adam and Eve the question became raised: Did Jehovah’s servants truly obey him out of affection or would all of them abandon God and follow the lead being given via devil? This latter concern became added developed via devil interior the days of interest. (Gen. 3:6; interest a million:8-11; 2:3-5; see additionally Luke 22:31.) those subject concerns ought to not be settled via purely executing the rebels. They have been given Time to tutor or disprove, Logical to me.
