The notion of divinity keeps changing as new inventions through science disapprove traditional notions. This has ignited a debate in religious circles and heralded the emergence of a grouping where God is pronounced Jeezes. The answers provided by religion no longer satisfy the curiosity of humanity. Traditional theology has ceased to be the center of human thinking. These ideas are gaining momentum and being embraced by followers in different parts of the world.

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.

The pastor at the center of this debate is Jeeves who cites the trouble of Job as documented in the book by the same title. The Old Testament gives a story of a person who lost all his possessions including children. In his words, Jeeves says that God was preparing Job for greater glory through suffering and therefore humanity should not loose faith in Him on such account.

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.

Creation and evolution theories continue to make headlines even in these debates. Scientific discoveries are proving some of these notions wrong. Life seems to be more complex than what is recorded in religious stories. The younger generation is becoming more restless since they have more access to information. They are able to combine facts from different quotas in order to draw their own conclusions.

Shifting theological centers are opening new chapters in the understanding of God. Traditional knowledge is gradually being dismantled as people recreate new notions of their supreme being. The entry of scholars from both sides of the divide serves to make it more sensitive.
