“God is not a divine being or a magician, but the Creator who brought everything to life,”- Pope Francis.

For the first time in Christian history, Pope Francis described “God is not a divine being or a magician, but the Creator who brought everything to life,”  He also lauded theory of evolution is true. 

For a common gesture we cant find nothing special on this statement. But if we think with strict Christian custom and tradition we heard that the first man created by the God and He is Adam. 

We are very familiar with Adam and Eve and their argument with God about the fruit of their Knowledge. Adam's God was not much frank like Pope Francis!. What we can learn from this talk is a first kind of western activities on  freedom and free thinking capacity of Human and his ability to prosper the life with his gained knowledge and experience. Adam changed his world with his mind, intellect and hard work. This gained  knowledge of Adam disturbed God's ego. God warned Adam for his own thinking and using his own knowledge. 


Adam's knowledge is mentioned as "Tree of knowledge of Good and Evil .In Christian theology, consuming the fruit of the tree of knowledge of good and evil was the original sin  committed by Adam and Eve that subsequently became known as the fall of man in Genesis 2-3.

Here we can find a philosophical twist or discontinuation between the millennium old  Biblical  thought with Pope Francis. In Adam's case God didn't want man's free will and intellect to be free from Him. God further faulted man for his Good and blame it as "Sin".
Here we can identify the approach of man's freedom and imposed control over it by religious ambitions. We  know that it was Issac Newton who calculated the birth day of Jesus Christ. 

Prophet  Mani's followers are introduced the "Church and Bishop system" in the christian hierarchy by establishing one as a Bishop and constituted a first church. He introduced  his own Manichaeism  with Jesus-Trinity juncture!  Manichaeism was a major Gnostic religion that was founded by the Iranian prophet Mani in. 216–276 AD in the Sasanian Empire.

Here we can find Vedantic search of truth by hinting major example of "a rope in darkness that can be misunderstood as a snake". The time we saw it as a snake, it is not a rope!. The mind understand it as a snake. But it is the intelligence that can differentiate that it is a  rope and  not a snake. This vedantic example discussed in all major texts of eastern philosophy. Eastern philosophy allows man to think and reach his own conclusions for his dilemmas. 

Now in this changed world order, most discussed issue is Jesus's Vedantic connection and His study on Vedanta at Kashmir. Pope Francis is a generic person and can read the gaps between lines. We can hope that Semitic religions will end the usages like "Is the only God".

This kind of re-establishments can ease the Islamic adamant minds to open the doors to peace.
