Knowing the God who is

In my last post I gave a very brief detailed set of ideas I believe explain why the Bible says there are none who seek after God.  You may disagree with me but that is way I understand the matter.  You may not find my reasons convincing.  You won’t be the first.  And honestly, I won’t lose sleep over it.  It is not that I don’t care, I do.  I just don’t see much value in debating.  I’d rather challenge you to come up with convincing alternatives. 
 
I believe that the Triune God of the Bible is real.  He is one being who exists as 3 persons living in an eternal perfect relationship of fellowship, love and respect.  I also believe being 3 in 1 is part of the rationale for the Creation.   God wanted to express Himself in a way that allowed for sharing the experience of His life with others.   I can’t prove that.  It just seems like a logical step for an omnipotent and omniscient God to take.  Thus, the first thing God reveals about Himself in the Bible is His Creation. 
 
And within the Creation account we find the origins of the Human Race.  The different animal species were all created genetically independent of each other.  They share a common genetic design because of a common creator but are not genetically connected.   He did not do that with the Humans.  We all descend from a pair of common ancestors.  Adam and Eve were made in the image of God.  We don’t know exactly what that means, but we have hints.  It included a creative mindset, the ability to make independent choices rather than just following preprogramed instinctive reactions. 
 
That last one is what led us into sin.  Adam, confronted with a choice between believing his wife or God went with Eve.  And sin brought death with it.  That changed everything except God’s creative purpose.  According to Genesis 1:26-28 He charged Adam and his descendants with partnering with Him in ruling over the earth.   This is the first mention of the Kingdom of God.  Sin didn’t change God’s intention, but it did alter the path He would follow in achieving His vision of a universe in which we Humans would share management responsibilities with the Creator.
