nice, i appreciate ur extensive work.

Truth Section: God is everything indeed, he is even the particles that do not exist. Looking at the bible makes me wonder if he chooses to be our launch pad. For example he even talked to adam and eve, yet free will in a certain sense was given.
For example, right now i can wave my left hand 5 times in the air. But if i slap it against concrete 5 min later, it will hurt and i will have intentionally hurt myself, with a backfire that i could not control.

We never forget that lauch pad, it is our home

War Section

The righteous have the right to defend themselves and their children
The Wicked have no right to initiate attack and plunder

once there is war, many lines have to be drawn.

The garden seemed perfect but there is that tree. And the 2 humans were there too. But the bible includes the story of the garden and the bible is holy.
The world we live in is not perfect in the standard sense.

What if everything that ever happened is perfect in the sense that God is there for it. What if everything that has ever happened is God's Perfect Game

You can''t escape it, but u can have fun

That is quantifying perfection to your standard, not His.

It is also, conjecturing from that, rejecting one who unconditionally loves you, is their idea plan.

One tree is a door out, if it was necessary why not a forest of trees? Unconditional love premises a door our or we only have slavery and imprisonment.

If you think our emotional perspective of rejection is painful, imagine crucifixion.

It was the redemption provided by Jesus, that opened the door back to that relationship with God.

To repeat God's word benefits the newcomers to the church and reminds the veterans.
To search as i have, i have no intention of touching God's copyright. If i'm am accused of being a joke to God by an non-christian, i will tell him that it is not the pastor's fault. But that an explorer must explore.

human control is so much different from how God controls. This word control gives God no respect. Without God's Limits, who knows what could happen.
Lot of Cruelness in the world already, let God put a cap on it.

Imagine a world without Christianity.

Recognizing we have put on the helm of salvation, receiving His grace, to be led by Him and striving for His "cap" on ourselves out of relationship with Him, is my point and it seems near yours here.

Imagine a world without anyone who is led by Him.

I just imagined.

James 4:11-12 " dont speak evil against each other, dear brothers and sisters. if you criticize and judge each other, then you are judging and criticizing God's law. but your job is to obey the law and not to judge whether it applies to you. God alone who gave the law is the judge. he alone has the power to save or to destroy. so what right do you ahve to judge your neighbor."

There are different ways to judge.

Sentencing someone to life in prison, firing someone at work, rejection on a relationship offer.

Then there is trying to help someone out with a warning.
