re: #7 Naso Tang

What’s scary is that God does not compromise and it is on all sides, is it not?/

I guess it depends on who you are talking to, but in our culture, Gd does compromise, pretty much all of the time. The human heart not only gets free reign, but even assistance. I can give you a paraphrase, and I can’t recall the exact citation—but if a person desires to become the world’s greatest thief, Gd will help that person become the world’s greatest thief. This principle applies to all of humanity, although I don’t know if this principle is universal among all religions.

Which lays cause and effect back in the lap of people. It’s on us.

The only time in scripture where this does not happen, that I’m aware of, is in the story of Balaam, who does not say what he so desperately wants to say, because Gd simply won’t allow it. But that’s about it.
