all those scriptures i posted come from the Hebrew scriptures.
Well IMO I kindly disagree. If there would be any relevance between God and Humans (if in fact God does exist) it would be feelings (at least before it would be anything else). IMO it is feelings that a likeness is explained when some say "we were created in His image".
Yes but taken from a Christian perspective. The Hebrew Scriptures are not viewed as literal or absolute by any Jews I know. I also know no Jews who believe it is more than the writings of man.
Well thats understandable, but those scriptures need no interpreting, they are statements.
you dont need to interpret a statement.
Of course. Let me put this into maybe a better view.
If "you" where given the Knowledge (as the child) that you were going to do something wrong and did nothing to change it, this is OK? Did anyone ever think maybe when it comes to "bad" or "evil" things that if we could change them that it may be appreciated?
I challange you to give one single person in all history who was not bound to their nature, taking offense or otherwise. You cannot hold that against someone, especially if you believe in a deity.
Actually, that is false.
It is completely impossible to understand anything without interpretation.
So God knew then before hand that one of His creations was going to attempt to "replace" Him first off you are saying. Secondly you state that "wanting" or any other kind of emotion is impossible or at least "hidden"??? There is always a scenario of the unexpected (not necessarily inconceivable) is impossible?
Did you ever hear of instinct?
Well thats understandable, but those scriptures need no interpreting, they are statements.

Of course scripture needs interpretation - they're not written in formal logic.Well thats understandable, but those scriptures need no interpreting, they are statements.

So you are saying the Human Id does not exist? Id, Ego, Superego, and the Unconscious in Psychology 101 at AllPsych OnlineBy definition humans do not have instincts. They have intuitions.
No I do not think at all the God is either angry or Jealous, but maybe disappointed
I am the last person who would question why a prayer is not answered (IMO prayers are always answered, just not always the way we think they should be answered. Do you feel that everyone should be judged the same as a child? Just the same old lame excuse of "well they didn't know what they were doing" justifies inappropriate actions?
I apologize if you misunderstood me, I do not think God is disappointed in us:no: If that where the case, I do not think our species would still be around.God is not disappointed in us.
OK it is now obvious to me that you are not at all familiar with my views; I in no way whatsoever believe in Judging anyone. That IMO is the biggest problem with people; if they would worry about themselves half as much as they do others it would be a societal improvement.We are judged according to our own standards and shown our hypocrisy. You do know what you are doing you simply justify your own selfish behavior all the while condemning others. It's human.
If this where true, Hell would not existBut you are instantly forgiven by God because He knows you are like children now.
If you can not find forgiveness in your own heart, how can you ever expect to be forgiven? (IMO if you can not find that forgiveness, if you ask to find it you will )Being forgiven by others, forgiving others, and forgiving yourself might take a while.
Yes, I think we should. There is really no reason not to.That is kind of what I am getting at; shouldn't we (granted with limited Knowledge) do our best to achieve the closest thing to perfection as possible, just as a "Thank You" kind of?

Instinct is: a powerful motivation or impulse;
instinct - Dictionary definition and pronunciation - Yahoo! Education
Intuition is: quick and ready insight;
Intuition - Definition and More from the Free Merriam-Webster Dictionary
If you ask me it seems (logically speaking) Humans contain both instinct and intuition; I can not see (any) non-divine or Divine Being not having some kind of both, just in an aspect in which we do not yet understand
If you read the definition you cited it says that instincts are characteristics of a species. That means that everyone of the species does the same thing in the same situation without thinking. Humans do not.
