He could, you're right.
But I have to wonder how anyone knows the difference of when He actually does do so. Unless every person who reads the Bible has a direct line to God, then they don't actually know that it was God who actually wanted and/or said all those things, and not those men who wrote it/put it together. Afterall, anyone can say God told them to do it or told them anything.
God knows you are trying....
Without hearing inflection or seeing my face as I say it to help you understand my meaning, that can be taken in either of 2 ways.
I could underline the last word, and put a RAZZ icon at the end to help, but the biblical writers didn't have icons, so their communications to us shouldn't have too much read into them.
OTOH, they didn't have to deal with typo errors. I have to correct a lot, thanks to PD Fingers.
Anyway, God told me to talk to you about your worries.
People worry too much about God and his intent. He is a kind and loving father, not at all like the guy in the OT. He is a big picture guy and isn't watching what we do in bed when the lights are out. He does notice how we treat each other, tho, and I think he keeps tabs on the greedy as well as the needy.
The devil really is in the details, as in when we start nitpicking the details, we become our own devils.
Everybody should relax and worry about their own known sins instead of looking at the sins of others and thinking our lives are somehow less sinful and gloating over it.
That should be enough to make you feel better, dear. If not, say some Hail Marys, put a thousand dollars in the Priests and Nuns retirement fund, and a dollar in the poor box, and learn to pedal your bike backwards to unwind the miserable existence you have created for yourself. Oops, I just backslid a bit and went beyond what God wanted me to say. Damn you, daughter of Satan !!!!
BTW, my church limits me to one wife, but there is nothing in the books about girl friends. Are you available on Thursdays?:2razz:
