We are such a prize that He chose to become a MAN in order to save us. The Son of God, second person of the triune Godhead, lived on earth for 33 years.

Not being Christian, I do not believe that such an event ever occurred. However, taking your argument at face value - I still do not believe that Earth is central to Lord's creation. It is Man that is central. Earth is important because we live here, not the other way around. I do not believe there is anything in the Bible that talks about centrality of planet Earth.

The order of creation, as listed in my translation of the Bible, is as follows: light, heavens (sky), land (Earth), plants, stars, etc. This is probably confused. It is unlikely that plants came before stars. The question is - is it important to our faiths to believe that six days of Creation as well as the order of Creation are literal facts? Thomas Aquinas wrote in II Sententiarum:

With respect to the origin of the world, there is one point that is of the substance of the faith, viz. to know that it began by creation, on which all the authors in question are in agreement. But the manner and the order according to which creation took place concerns the faith only incidentally, in so far as it has been recorded in Scripture, and of these things the aforementioned authors, safeguarding the truth by their various interpretations, have reported different things.

Not being Christian, I do not believe that such an event ever occurred.

You'll probably get jumped on pretty hard after THIS statement; I'll try to be gentle ;^)

Well then: since even the great Roman Empire was drawn into His influence, just what DO you believe has caused the obviously illogical following of so many people (in the first century --dang! I can't even get away from Him there...) to worship and adore a blatent fabrication?

It is written where, the most FAVORITE place of our Heavenly Father's is and it is here on this planet earth.

It is written His children were "CREATED" to give HIM pleasure and what is required of us to give HIM pleasure.

Being a "Christian" is up to each individual. Only the Heavenly Father is a "HEART/MIND" reader and whatever side one ends upon, will be between that individual and HIM. No one will be given that "death" sentence without full knowledge and that is not given until after the "FLESH AGE".

Some overcame prior to this "flesh age", but being "FAIR" all were required to be born in the "flesh age". Those who refused got the "death sentence".
