    what is in the past can actually be a response to something in the future

    ... like God knew in the future man would need fossil fuels and it would take a long time for them to ferment in the ground and that big reptiles would provide much fertilizer to make the planet ready for farming

    'like God knew'- something like that. Man invents fire, man falls in Tar Pit with fire, 6 inventions come from accident

    You don't have to go back to the Jurassic Period to see the truth about the Creator. It's all right in front of us today. I can't even watch Nature programs because they're too friggin' violent. That certainly isn't man's fault.

    Fear is the opposite of Love, but Biblegod thrives on fear. Since God (the reformed one in the NewTestament) is supposedly Love, we still see that everything in the animal Kingdom (not to mention the human Kingdom) lives in FEAR, except those at or near the top of the food (power/money) chain.... For instance, domesticated birds live significantly longer than those of the same species in the wild. Proof that fear causes death. Proof that the God Above God did not create this hellhole. Proof that our Divine Spark within man is the only hope for this place.

    Have we strayed?

    The OP is why households are divided.

    The Biblegod is a reflection of man's fall.

    It is impossible for God to lie. Not tell a lie. But do a lie.

    So God the Creator does not create anything if He does not want to.

    And because his anger can flare up sometimes the created thing is not so much for wanting. (Psalm 2:12)

    http://bible.cc/psalms/2-12.htm

    "Kiss the Son, lest he be angry and you be destroyed in your way, for his wrath can flare up in a moment. Blessed are all who take refuge in him."

    I looked up Matthew 10:34. "peace" means "peace of mind". It is the kind of peace that is promised in connection with thinking ability. It has to do with wakefullness, being aware.
