A Time When God Is Pronounced Jeezes

A Time When 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.

A lot of activity has been seen through blogs, videos, public platforms and books evaluating tradition theological perspectives. Death is a common point of focus especially the pain that follows the demise of a young person. The puzzle surrounds the suffering that is occasioned by such death. This stains the image of a Supreme Being who is 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.

Evil people seem to enjoy a long and comfortable life compared to the good ones. Those who walked in righteousness suffer in poverty, a contradiction from natural justice. The evil ones continue to oppress the good and live long to oppress more. This means that natural justice fails to manifest which taints the image of divinity. The reactions in all quotas regarding such scenarios continue to be emotional.

A pastor who has tried to explain the scenario is called Jeeves. He uses the example of this servant called Job. He had a lot of wealth that was wiped out in one instance. All this children and possessions disappeared. This, according to Jeeves, was supposed to test his faith. It should give humanity strength instead of weakening their faith.

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.

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.
