Simplicity Verses Complexity--Which Is Better



I pity modern man. He is either being barraged by complex verses from religious books or reading some gloomy articles about this dying planet. He has no universal reprieve from an uncertain future, right!

Forgive me, for I will proceed to reflect on the life and times of the first man, according to Christianity. That is Adam for those not in the know. This is one gentleman who had it so simple. There was no Bible; or Koran to read for that matter. He knew what he needed to know and was quite content for a while.

I admired his life. It was so simple. Then came sin and the need to develop volumes and volumes of descriptions and examples of what he should do and not do. And they didn’t come easy and simplified for our reading and understanding!

This led me to ask myself this. What if man really found out who our Creator really is and accomplished what that creator desires of him? We would then have our maker and his team of leaders and guides on one part and we on the other; living simple lives with no one having to breathe down our faces on what we ought to do or not do.

I say this because some of the books and articles bordering on our maker’s wishes, desires and our destiny are pretty much complex. Personally, I get a headache reading through most of that material. That’s part of the reason why my views on this blog are very simplistic. If we knew our creator and his desires very well, then there should be no need to constantly interpret verses from the “Holly books for the masses. It really ought to be straightforward. What is wrong and what is right ought to be pretty clear-cut.

And if anyone in the congregation needed further convincing or explanation, then the holy books and teachers would come in handy. That person would find great material showing numerous examples and explanations why wrong is wrong and right is right. And of course who is the “big boss” and who is his nemesis. It should be that simple. After all man has been trying to simplify his life of late!
