Where God Is Pronounced Jeezes

By Luisa Sharpe


New scientific discoveries and innovations are changing the conventional notion of the almighty. A debate has been going on in religious circles regarding the new trend where God is pronounced Jeezes. Religion is no longer considered the ultimate truth and is now seen as unable to offer all answers. The debate continues to gain momentum and generate heat in different continents. There is a seeming rebellion against conventional religious theology.

The discussions on the new understanding of deity are being carried out through online videos, blogs, books and particular platforms. The question of death has steered the debate in a new direction. Death of a young man or woman becomes a bigger puzzle considering the suffering that those left behind under go. This taints the image of goodness and mercy that is associated with gods. It is contrary to the notion of universal good.

The family that looses a young parent undergoes a lot of suffering immediately and in later days. There is a lot of hope that the young family will enjoy togetherness for long. Such a dream is then cut short by unexplained death. Children do not grow up with the joy of having both parents. Theologians are finding it even harder to explain such scenarios. They are in a dilemma selling God as all loving and all caring.

Evil people have been said to life longer and enjoy a comfortable life as well. This is at the expense of good people who undergo a lot of suffering. Natural justice would dictate otherwise. The evil keep harassing the poor and underprivileged but the almighty does not intervene. This is a big scare that cannot be explained in simple terms. Different theologians have tried to explain such scenarios to no avail.

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 perceived perfect nature of God has also raised points of contention. This claim has been cited in different religions across the world. In the face of diseases, suffering and calamities of the magnitude of earthquakes and floods, the notion does not hold any more. Humanity is subjected to a lot of suffering for no apparent reason. So many dreams by individuals and societies are wiped out.

Debate still ranges on the opposing theories of evolution and creation. These notions continue to crack in the face of fresh scientific discoveries. The discoveries have heralded a new scenario where religion seems to contradict known truths. The younger generation which has access to a lot of information is becoming inquisitive and restless. The facts that are available to them do not support conventional religious teachings. They are part of the greater force behind the Jeezes movement.

The shift in theological perspectives is affecting traditional sense of God. It is causing a total dismantling and an apparent creation of a more conforming being. Scholars in both ends continue to exchange punches on who is right and who is wrong in the debate with no end in sight.
