An Evolving God

So, I'm not sure how well my theories hold up against the bible. The parts of the bible that I am familiar with are more like history or mythology, and there isn't a whole lot about the nature of what God is, apart from there being only one god, no gods before this god, three parts to this god, basic stuff like that. The parts that are mythology are stories God told that didn't literally happen as He told them, like the story of Creation, and Adam and Eve in the garden of Eden, and the story of the tower of Babel. Like, I don't believe the reason people speak different languages is because God confused their language when they were building the tower of Babel.

I was just reading Genesis again and one of the things I noticed that didn't make any sense is that Adam and Eve have Cain and Abel, and then Cain kill Abel, and then God curses Cain. So, if you are following the story, there should be only four people in the world at this point. Well, now three, because Abel died. But then God casts Cain away, and Cain complains that anyone who finds him will kill him, and God put a mark on Cain so that that no one would kill him, and then Cain goes off and marries some woman. What the hell? From whom did this other woman come from? Did Adam and Eve have a lot of other children that aren't mentioned?

So what I am thinking right now is, maybe, I don't really know, but there was evolution going on, and Adam and Eve were the first people who evolved from the apes or whatever into a human form. But this was happening everywhere, so there are other people other places. I don't know, that was just something I thought of right now.

So, I wanted to talk about this shattered God more. The purpose of life is to help God evolve. We are all pieces of God. So what God does is, He sends a piece of himself out to Earth, and that piece is the soul of a human. On Earth, that person forms bonds with other people, who are also pieces of God, and hopefully a bond with God directly. Upon death, God draws the piece back in, and that piece is again basked fully in the unlimited love of God. The bonds that the soul created on Earth are what help God evolve and grow stronger.

When fully basking in the eternal love of God, everyone is at their best. On Earth, you are still connected to God, but you are separate. You experience hardship and desire, and things that tempt you to turn wicked. As God challenges us, He challenges Himself. He challenges us to forgive one another. At the same time, He is learning to forgive us, and love us despite our wickedness.

You can not give birth to something that is not present in you. God Himself is not wicked, but within God is a desire for wickedness. He gives birth to creatures with that same desire. Within God, is humanity, even before humanity existed. That includes the positive aspects of humanity and the negative aspects of humanity. But the difference between God and humans on Earth is that within God is also a good force which overpowers the desire for wickedness.

See, God in his entirety is perfect, but in this case, perfect is relative. As God evolves, the definition of perfect also changes, and becomes better.

That is why God evolves throughout the bible. God causes death and destruction in the old testament. Perhaps He has a hard time forgiving people for their wickedness. God's rules do change as time goes on. Jesus sets out updated laws from the laws that Moses set up.

There are more than just three aspects of God. The father, the son, and the holy ghost are just the basic aspects of God.

All this is just speculation.
