You know nothing of me. I been in my Bible since I was very young, and it's kept me sharp and safe. I'm sorry that we don't agree, but that doesn't make me wrong. The Lord has been speaking to me through His word for a very long time, and it's made me humble. Even though I long for His knowledge, I would never be so arrogent to claim to comprehend it. The word is clean and pure. It's living and breathing. It is truth. Free will is not a construct or a disillusion, it's a series of events that He is not bound in time by unlike how we are. He knows the end from the beginning and you just don't, no matter how bad you want to strut some stuff. But that's fine, He let's you choose. Looks like you're choosing to lean on your own understanding. Yes life is a folly and there truly is nothing new under the sun. That said, He is the same yesterday today and forever, and you are none of those things, so I reject your notion as shillish, trying to undermine a simple truth of the very existence He's created for us, just to make Him out to be a liar and you to be 'enlightened'. How can you claim to have this knowledge and not claim to be enlightened, when you try to share it with people as a secret to tell? Sorry to tell you, but you've chosen to perpetuate a lie and pass it off as His truth. Bro, those actions can get you a swim in the lake of fire. But whatever, you get to choose: accept His truth, or invent your own. Do what you want because it's your choice, but what you're doing is called heresey. Interpret scriptures, sure…..but to say one of its most basic elements is essentially false and that God revealed something alternative to you alone with respect to that is just Shilly. God's word is simple, beautiful, and perfect. Nobody never needed you to clarify it before, and chances are no one ever will. Accept the word as perfect, don't find out the hard way…
