How do you think you can know what the Real Truth is? No, I do not think God wants to be questioned because God is All-Knowing and All-Wise; so why would be question God? That would be highly illogical.
God only reveals His Will through Messengers, otherwise God is hiding. The reasons for God’s actions are only revealed through Messengers of God, anything else we come up with is the product of human imagination.
Mankind’s behavior warrants God’s wrath whenever God determines it warrants His wrath. God is the Knower of all things.
Holy books were revealed by Manifestations of God (what I often refer to as Messengers or Prophets). Some of the Holy books were written by men, but these men were guided by the Holy Spirit. There is nothing “petty” in the Torah, the Bible, the Qur’an, or the Writings of Baha’u’llah.
Do you think you Understand God and what God is doing with this world better than a Manifestation of God that was sent by God? Holy books do not teach hate, they teach love and justice. Unconditional love is not always warranted because it is not in the best interest of the recipient or the giver.
Clearly all men, be they good or evil, pious or infidel, are not equal in the sight of God. That does not mean God does not love everyone, but that is a separate topic. All people are not the same; they differentiate themselves by their behavior, which is determined by the free will choices that they make.
God has always used Holy books because that is the only way humans can ever know the Truth about God and their Purpose in Life. Anything else is just the product of the human ego.
Anyone can "believe" they have Discovered the Truth and be wrong, and when different people say they have Discovered the Truth, and those Truths are contradictory, how do you determine which one of them really has the Real Truth? Your method of Discovering Truth is thus completely illogical.
We are not supposed to judge other people. That is the teachings of all religions, judge not lest ye be judged. Only God can judge.
Everything that is not love is not hate. One can simply recognize bad behavior for what it is.
You must think you have a lot of knowledge and power, to be able to turn evil into good. I do not think I have that kind of power. People only change themselves if they choose to change. I am not going to teach him anything because he has no interest in learning.
Should I go to his attorney’s office and say I want to teach him unconditional love? How is that going to change him? He is a truly evil person, lying in order to try to extort large sums of money from my insurance company. He has no evidence of his accusations, but because of how the justice system works, he will get money, when he does not deserve one red cent. Lying is the foundation of all evil. I hope God punishes him after he dies, if not before, because that is the only way justice can be served.

Yes, who your are is coming out.
You have made an assumption that those holy books are the truth instead of Discovering the Truth for yourself. Once you have chosen that these beliefs are the truth, you have built your life around them. Why? You Want them to be the truth. Since you want them to be the truth, you no longer question. You have accepted. Search within yourself. Discover Why you want them to be the truth.
Everyone learns regardless of their beliefs. When your actions return, in time, you will discover them for what they are rather than what you believe they are.
Clearly, you have many issues and learning to deal with. You do not really Understand what I have been telling you. Given enough time. You will for we are all walking toward the same goal.
your quote:Your method of Discovering Truth is thus completely illogical.
My answer: I realize it is beyond you at this point but only because your view is corrupted.You want your beliefs to be true. In Discovering anything, everything must add up. Everything about God Does add up unlike those holy books. Sounds logical to me.
your quote:You must think you have a lot of knowledge and power, to be able to turn evil into good.
My Answer: Since this is a multilevel classroom, Everyone has something they can teach. Change is what this world is all about.
You are right. Each must choose to change for themselves. On the other hand, everyone can point others in the right direction showing others the view they might not be aware of. I have done this with you.I can't count how many people I have seen change.
Yes, I have Discovered much, probably more than the average person. On the other hand, there is more yet to Discover than I already know. This is why I am a Hungry Student.
To Question is the start on the journey to Discovery. I have never been afraid to Question God, religion, holy books, people and everything.
To Question is a part of God's system. God wants us to Question it all. The only ones who do not want you to question are those who do not want you to Discover the Real Truth. God isn't hiding anything.
your quote:Mankind’s behavior warrants God’s wrath whenever God determines it warrants His wrath.
My Answer:How could you ever be satisfied with this answer? It points out how lacking your religion is. You are telling me do not question and did not find out. Your religion does not have the answer.Is this really God's way or mankind's way.
Do I have more knowledge of God than some old prophets that told people they were God's messenger? You can believe that one. I have been on the road to Discovery a long time and I can tell you this: God isn't going to intimidate your choices as religion and mankind attempt to do.
Religion is a catalyst that will bring out so many of mankind's problems to the surface so they can deal with them. It will work for you as well. You have my blessing.
Yes, that is how I see it.
Oh yes, maybe if you think in terms other than payback with that so called evil tenant, you might widen your view and Discover a better answer for all.
The first thing God pointed out to me was that mankind carries such a narrow view. Be open to all the possibilities around you rather than hating and getting the evil tenant.
