When God Is Pronounced Jeezes

By Luisa Sharpe


The notion of the Supreme Being finds new meaning and explanation with discoveries by scientists and increased dialogue on religion. This has created a new school of thought where God is pronounced Jeezes. This has largely emanated from the unsatisfactory answers provided by traditional theology that seems to have been disapproved by science. Humanity is seeking redefinition with an increasing momentum around the world.

The centers of the discussion include online and copied videos, public forums, books and blogs. Criticism is growing with a lot of the traditional notions about divinity being questioned. Death remains emotive with most members of this new school of thought unsatisfied at the unexplained demise of young people. It sends innocent children into a lot of pain and suffering. This is unlike the known portrayal of the Supreme Being as caring and all good.

The pain that family members suffer in case of loss goes unexplained, especially where young family members are involved. It appears as though life has been taken away from a promising union or family. The spouse is left in eternal loneliness with the children being denied the love of growing under the watch of both parents. The incidence also means the end of a family dream that included growing old together. This has become a theological dilemma with most scholars being unable to explain.

The long life enjoyed by evil people compared to the suffering and poverty experienced by good people becomes a contradiction. Continued living by the evil people becomes a bigger burden to the oppressed. Such scenarios cause the good people to loose faith in natural justice and even doubt the fact that divinity is good. This is a debate that continues to draw varied reactions in different quotas.

Jeeves is a pastor who has taken the discussion to a new level. The book of Job in the Old Testament is his point of reference as he seeks to advance his ideas. He cites the loss that befell job which included possession and the wiping off of his children. According to Jeeves, this acted as preparation for greater things that were on the way. This is how the Supreme Being tests the faith of humanity in him.

The notion that God is perfect has become another point of contention. This is a claim that runs across religions in all societies. Those opposed to the notion claim that the idea would make sense if calamities like floods and earthquakes would stop causing immense suffering as they do. They take innocent lives with unfulfilled dreams.

The conflict has also revolved around the theories of evolution and that of creation. This is in light of recent scientific findings that seem to go contrary to such contention. There is more complexity to life than is indicated in sacred scriptures. Science has disapproved some of the notions and the younger generation is realizing that what they believed no longer holds. They are attempting to make sense of the idea of God.

Gradual replacement of traditional theology is creating a new image of God. The Supreme Being seems to have acquired a new image. Scholars are still trying to justify their positions to unyielding population that has access to more information than before. The debate is far from over.
