Chapter 5
WHY DID GOD CREATE MAN?
kredaz@mclink.it .

Thank you Father for this day. Lord, sometimes I compare myself with your works.

I consider how small I am compared to the majesty of the mountains, the lakes, the sky and the clouds, the sea. I realize how miserable I am in front of all this. I consider then the strife of man, the wars, the hatred, the ignorance of people.
People who have some power are hostile and produce more hostility and bitterness, and I realize that the whole world lives unjustly.
So I would like to ask you: "Why did you create us, knowing that we would become so corrupted?"

"Because I enjoy talking to you I will explain why I created man:
I created man in my image and likeness 38, I made them male and female 39.
When I created man I didn't want a lonely creature, abandoned to himself, but I created two beings, so one could complete the other and be a family 40.

In fact, neither can a man live without a woman, nor can a woman live without a man.

I have created you because I want to love you, because I am love 41 and life 42, I want you to live and experience my love.
I wanted to communicate with you the ability to understand, to express yourselves, to communicate.
Just think of the ability that man has to create music, to write poems, books, or to paint,
These things do not come out of the blue, neither do they happen by chance; They are fruit of an act of my will. Be still for a moment. Just imagine what it would be like to take away all the negative aspects of humanity and to exalt all the positive ones. Admire the heart, the beauty of nature, consider how you are made, how nature is regulated.
Study chemistry, physics, biology and astronomy, think of what project lies behind creation.
Observe the sea, sail on it's waves.
Walk on the mountains; Think of the trees of the forests, with the flowers and the rivers. I have done all this to give you a place where you can live well, for your enjoyment. Only a fool can say that all this came about by chance.

Because I love you truly, you are for me extremely precious 43.

At the base of all my choices, and all of my actions, there is love 44.
This is the reason why I developed my plan, which started with creation and evolves towards eternal life. I want to live with my creatures for eternity, in peace and true love 45.
It's true: mankind is corrupted and if I were to consider humanity strictly in the present, I would destroy it immediately 46.
But my plan has an eternal perspective; it's different from man's mentality; it must be considered in its totality.

My thoughts are higher than man's thoughts 47.

My plan is perfect, marvelous. The splendor of creation, the beauty of the islands of the sea, the vegetation, the sky and the stars, they are just a taste of what I have prepared for eternity 48.
Every living being will recognize my perfection 49, when their mind will be opened. When this era will end, men will see my plan in its fullness, and for those that will not take part of it, "there will be gnawing of teeth 50", as my Word explains.
These words could lead you to think that I want to condemn man, but on the contrary, I want to save him; He is the one I died for. 51

Maybe now you can understand what is the reason for the creation of mankind".
