a thought descended upon me tonite. out of nowhere. i hadn't been pondering anything philisophical...or anything in general, really.
in the beginning, before the fall. humanity existed for one thing. to love and glorify God in a perfect existance and a flawless world for all of eternity.
now, the reason for our existance is a shade different. before we would have simply been existing. living and loving and frolicing in the feilds. now we are no longer merely existing; we are being groomed. it all started with a desire to be on an equal level with God, and in every way that is what it's still about. the thing that i realized, the thing that rocked my world is this.
He is giving us the opportunity to try to replace Him.
the first analogy i thought of was a boxing match, and i initially didn't like it. but the more i thought about it, the more i realized that's perfect. there's a fight coming. a reckoning, if you will. and all of human existance since the fall has been our training montage.
He's giving us the chance to do our absolute best to replace him so that when fight night does come around, there will be absolutly no question as to who is superior.

so are you saying that we're in a competition with God? ike, "giving us the opportunity to try to replace him" like take over his throne? and we'll have these small fights to practice and train so we'll be our own strongest fighters and therefore when God wins (as he obviously will) we'll know that we at least fought our toughest fight?
