When I spent some time talking to Charity, my Spiritual Professor CIE, about controversial topics in the Holy Bible, one was the idea of God testing our faith in Him, with us being prodded by Satan in the process. Here is what she said on that subject in 1995.
Ralph: Does The Creator test our faith in God? That is a question that is repeatedly brought up.
Charity: Well, first of all, The Creator is not human, so why would The Creator want to test?
Ralph: I really hadn’t figured that out either. What would be gained by that?
Charity: The Creator is not human.
Ralph: You do have a story in the Bible of Job where this seems to be what was going on, and he was being tested.
Charity: That is you humans’ book.
Ralph: That’s right, and Satan was right there to prod Him on.
Charity: Which we do not have.[Satan]
Ralph: So therefore, without Satan there, He would not have done it anyhow. So it was a nice mythology.
Charity: Of course.
Ralph: And they said even great saints die of cancer. How could that be, if they are so great? With all the beliefs they have and the spirituality they have, they eventually die.
Charity: Yes.
Ralph: Their life plans say so. And each one thinks their standards came from God. But God keeps changing his mind every thirty years.
Charity: The Creator does not change.
Ralph: But that is the impression they have to have.
Charity: But of course. And that is understandable. But by following these principles, you can see that The Creator does not change. The Creator is forever. The Creator does not care about social controls.
