the whole of it. The concept of Him being unchanging is in regard to certain
special qualities, like being eternal, that define Him as unique, but not that
He can't realize everything else changes so have different reactions in regard
to that or know different ways to handle one thing. The latter doesn't make God
untrustworthy any more than it would show that a person was.
Otherwise, it's a personal faith choice like the God concept itself. It is
possible to reject it cynically. I can only recommend that a person could over-
do how positive or negative it has to be understood and reject a caricature. It
isn't that way for a lot of us.
I don't see any reason in that to change what I meant: considering that common
human selfishness seems to always have been unfortunately all-too appropriately
named, that the idea that He'd reconcile people to Himself (possibly everyone
with the Unversalism belief) to give them a purely good life not only contra-
dicts your characterization of Him as too critical than warrented but more
generous than the quality of what many people do with their free will warrents.
": Lord knows why, but He does."
"Well, when he explains all of my question to you, please let me know."
The belief in God taking people into eternity isn't based on people being
perfect so deserving a perfect eternity, so that's what I have on that so far.
Otherwise, the questions didn't seem very hard (let alone so hard as to need a
divine intervention to answer!)--it was kind of fun.
