It always amazes me that people seem to think that mouth-agape incredulity is some kind of refutation of the point(s) being made. Your behavior is ridiculous. Not surprising mind you... but ridiculous.Oh my word...

It deserves nothing better...It always amazes me that people seem to think that mouth-agape incredulity is some kind of refutation of the point(s) being made. Your behavior is ridiculous. Not surprising mind you... but ridiculous.
I could have said the very same about any of your replies to me. And how would you have viewed me if I had replied to one of your posts with nothing but "Oh my word..." Hahaha... oh... how funny. Perhaps I should just start doing that. Wouldn't it make me seem just so intelligent?It deserves nothing better...
The word tantrum comes to mind...I could have said the very same about any of your replies to me.

Yes, that is what I thought of your "Oh my word" post as well. Glad we are on the same page.The word tantrum comes to mind...
To them. Apparently He ran out of minutes in the intervening centuries.Yes. The focus is, without exception, on God. God reveals Himself. Yes, God interacted with various individuals, but only to make himself known.
No it’s not. The censuses weren’t. Most laws are irrelevant to God. God rarely features.Fact: Scripture is 100% about God.
God told me otherwise.So, NO, Scripture is NOT a collection of human experiences.
I agree but you would think that the right religion would prevent that.Followers change the fundamental concepts of a said religion for personal reasons. They come up with crazy interpretations that suit their interests. As a result they divide into multiple sects.

And our fate hangs in the balance, correct? Who makes a game out of such things? Better yet - who praises or worships the person who makes a game out of such things? Ever watch "Squid Game"? Who were you rooting more for in that show, if so? The makers of the game, or the players trying to overcome the challenges and/or buck the system? I was rooting more for the players myself, and I would likely guess that I wouldn't very much like the person who would find themselves rooting for the makers of the game. I also don't think very many people would like to find themselves part of such a game without having been asked first - literally how "God's game" here on Earth works - no one gets asked if they want to participate, and those forced to play are asked to literally worship and adore the one toying with their fate during the whole of it. It's messed up.Finding the truth - is the name of the game!

That's a whole lot of maybes.Why make us play this game you asked?
Maybe information is out there and it is scattered among multiple religion.
Maybe we already have a history with God in God's immediate kingdom in our soul form - where we insulted God somehow. Maybe we questioned God to show why we should believe he is the only God and no other gods are there. Maybe the angels got upset at our demand and requested God to expunge us. But God decided to deal with us in a different way! Maybe God decided to show to the Angels that some of us can still be salvaged.
So, maybe God decided to put all of us (the offenders) into some kind of repository. Maybe after that - God decided to make a vessel Adam's body (the first subject) and put Adam's soul in it. God then asked for all his angels' support in this new endeavor that he had undertaken. Maybe the angels didn't think we deserve a second chance. However, maybe all of the angels finally agreed with God's plan except the one we now call "the devil". Some can describe this almost unanimous agreement of the angels in different words such as - "the angels bowed to God's will" (I wouldn't call it bowed to Adam though!)
This vessel (Adam's human body) and all future vessels (future humans' bodies) can hold up to two entities. After that, maybe God decided to send us to a detention center (this world) with walls keeping us separate from viewing God's kingdom. Maybe when the soul gets into this vessel (our physical body) our memory gets erased of our earlier existence. However, maybe all that memory will come back when we die.
Now via this new beginning (new birth) - we are given a 2nd chance to prove our worthiness. God occasionally sent us some messengers to give us some basic information that would help some of us - finding our path back to salvation and a path that could help us redeem ourselves.
Maybe here we are required to believe in God's total authority over everything just by witnessing the wonders of his creation. Maybe God wanted to show his angels that some of us are still capable to lead a righteous life and not all are lost cause!
Maybe that is why information is scattered and because we don't even deserve it!
By the the way - you can continue with what makes sense to you!
