So.... those of you who know me know that I'm into theology, history, science fiction, and that I have a tendency to overthink things. Sometimes, in an individual like me, all that runs together.
That said, I was in my head the other night, and I came up with this hypothesis. Please understand, I'm not trying to start a religion or doctrine. This is just a THEORY!
So....the first of the commandments is that Yahweh says that he is our Lord, and that we are to have no other "gods" before him. That statement (under the assumption that this God's Word) in and of itself to me, is an acknowledgment that there does, in fact, exist other deities or divine beings. In the book of Exodus, the statement is made "Let US make man...." (Gen 1:26), again implying multiple deities. (We're told in John 1:1-3 that the other deity was Christ in his true form).
It is also fact that all other cultures and religions, in particular the ancient Egyptians, kept meticulous records and have their own books and doctrines on the existence of the deities they worshipped. Now, Yahweh himself has already acknowledge the existence of these deities, because he told us not to worship any of them other than himself. And he gives us a reason why, stating that he is himself a jealous God.
Here is where the theory comes in:
What if Yahweh, Christ, Satan, and all of the deities/gods are actually a race of highly elevated beings that exist outside of time and space as we know it, or are simply from another part of the galaxy? Perhaps where they exist, Yahweh is some type of scientist, perhaps Christ was his devoted assistant, or partner, or a son that followed in his father's footsteps; and so Yahweh decides that he wants to create an experiment, his own race of beings. So they create the Earth, and all the things that go along with the Earth, all the living things that have ever existed, and then, finally, he decides he wants to elevate and create something that is like himself, and so he creates humanity. But then, humanity begins to grow and expand, and others of the divine race of deities began to take note, and they began to appear to humanity in various forms. And then they begin to introduce us to various technologies, theories, and civilization. We, being merely primitive humans, would see these deities as gods; their technologies and ideas, being far more advanced than the primitive human could ever even begin to imagine, would appear to us as magic and miracles. (Ex. If John the Revelator on the isle of Patmos thousands of years ago saw a vision of combat helicopters in the future firing bullets and missiles, to him, never having seen anything remotely like it EVER, his only frame of reference would be "fire shooting giant locusts with faces of men"). Anyway, these other deities begin to teach them other customs, things that perhaps Yahweh did not want them to learn. Remember, Yahweh is the creator God, humanity is his creation. This is his experiment, and the other deities are interfering. In essence, the other deities, that is other members of the divine race, have contaminated the experiments, causing chaos and confusion. And so Yahweh, being jealous and territorial of His creation, decides to set a particular segment of humanity aside to himself. (We call them the chosen ones). He then sets up a system specific to how He wants his people to live, and they are to become the example of how he wants all of humanity to be. Only, they've been contaminated by the rest of humanity and their customs and traditions, implemented from the teachings of others of the divine race, and thus the complete chaos that exists to this day; and all of the racism, classism, sexism and every other ism is a result of the disunity caused by other members of the divine race of beings interfering with Yahweh's grand human experiment.
In fact, to take the theory a step further, what if some of the other deities from Yahweh's realm, perhaps the ones we refer to as "angels", decided that they, too, wanted to create, but chose to do it through MATING with the human females, creating the race of "Nephilim" (Genesis 6), whom are referred to scientifically as "Neanderthals". (Science proves that the Neanderthal, a totally DIFFERENT type of human, co existed with homo-erectus {modern humans} in EUROPE for thousands of years.)
This would mean that the Neanderthal (Nephilim) established in EUROPE (scientifically proven), is the progenitor of the EUROPEAN groups, which has been established (historically) as the home of the BARBARIANS. The Barbarians, as history has shown, were a murderous race of Europeans that established dominance of over groups of people by gross violence and inhumane methods.....Not to state the obvious, but there's only one group of people on this planet that's infamous for establishing world dominance for millennia using these tatics, along with colonization, genocide, slavery, racism, and religious indoctrination....(yes, I know, other groups have historically engaged in barberism as well, but not on such a grand scale, and when one considers that there was interbreeding between Homo-Erectus {original man, began in Africa/Kemet} and Neanderthal {began in EUROPE}, well....) one can only ponder the state of our current existence. Ironically, when one begins to turn these ideas around, it takes us right back to the whole chosen people theory, and the concept that Yahweh wanted to keep his chosen separate. (Leviticus 15:31, 2 Corinthians 6:17) Perhaps Yahweh simply wanted to keep his chosen from further contamination created by the interference of the other deities/members of his divine race, seeing that they had already wrought havoc on the rest of his creation/ experiment.
I know..... CRAZY. And, like I said, that whole scenario I just wrote out was just a product of me going off into one of my existential tangents, which I'm prone to do. I don't actually believe in myself, it's just a WHAT IF.... (I'm not stoned, either. This is just how I think.)
And before you guys start rebuking me talking about I shouldn't waste my time thinking about things like this (there's always one), if Yahweh didn't want me to ponder my existence, then why give me free will and a mind that works this way? Why not just make me an automaton?
