I suppose it might help to explain some of your behaviour.

How can something like this not be particularly hard to square with a loving, just and merciful God's "mysterious ways"?
'you' REALLY DO HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO IDEA here do 'you' "iambiguous"?

By the way, 'God's ways' are ONLY so-called 'mysteries' to 'those' like 'you', "iambiguous".

God's ACTUAL 'ways' are NOT 'mysterious' AT ALL, well NOT to us anyway.

Now, WHY 'you', human beings, DO what 'you' DO, like above, and do NOT DO other 'things', is also ALREADY fULLY KNOWN, which, by the way, most of are NOT God's way, AT ALL.

BOTH of these so-called God's could NOT be MORE FURTHER AWAY FROM the ACTUAL God, Itself.

That 'behavior' above is NOT in sync AT ALL with thee One and ONLY God, except as it is a SIGN of just how Wrong and DISTORTED 'that world' IS, and WAS, WHEN 'that' was happening.

Satan prevailed. The pearls are no longer cast before the swine.

I recall that it was at this post that my more or less open position (in respect to Evangelism) shifted.

Note to others:

Seriously though, in your opinion, is Age afflicted with one or another "condition" or is he/she really, really on to SOMETHING here that all PHILOSOPHERS are well advised to consider.

If the latter, please link me to a few of his/her most profound insights.

I'll apologize if necessary.

First you have to determine who (or what) it is you are actually conversing with.

Is it a human?...

...Or...

...is it the "channeled" entity who claims to have helped inspire the writing of the Bible as was proclaimed in this post here by Age (aka, ken)...

Now I found another human being who I can use to share things..."

If one is surrounded by lunatics, and yet one remains, does that mean? —

Oh shit! I’m blocking that thought!

And where, precisely, could you go where you (and they) wouldn't be surrounded by lunatics?

The mirror can indeed be a brutal mistress.

To understand it properly would be to assume that whatever "it" is that is using Age/ken as a conduit through-which to speak to us "...in the times when this is being written..." was apparently around (and up to the same shenanigans) in the times when the Bible was being written.

Now, as to the question of whether or not this enigmatic (channeled) entity is God, then I would suggest that it is highly unlikely that the Creator of the billions of galaxies of this universe could be so incredibly ignorant and annoying.

However, unless you enjoy being drawn into an endless labyrinth of verbal twists and turns that will lead you to nowhere, then whatever you do, don't ask the "entity" to explain itself.

Thank you. This explains one or two things that were hitherto puzzling me. :)
