Hi Bob Good morning. <<1. You continually refer to your vision of God and the plan you have superimposed on Him as the noblest and highest path. First of all, I don't believe that for all to be saved even if they were at complete war with God all our lives is the highest and noblest path. Oddly enough, I don't think my opinion counts for a hill of beans, only God's Word. Mans opinion is formulated by what we can understand which is certainly a VERY small fraction of all there is to know and understand. I don't think with our very small minds and perception we can define the highest and noblest path without Gods help. After all He is the Highest and Noblest.>> True, I believe that God is the Highest and Noblest Path. It is also true that our perceptions of what is the Highest and noblest Path are very subjective,colored by each of our perceptions and life experiences. I can only do my best ot determine what that high and noble path is. I believe that most people make things way too difficult. This is one of those things. I think that if you were to really look at your life, the highest and noblest actions that you have undertaken, are undertaken with love and compassion in mind. At least that is how it is for me. With that in mind, I expect God to follow that path in ways far greater than I am able. <<This implies that God has no justice system at all. If we are all going to heaven anyway, why are we all subject to this world of deception, hatred and violence. What is the purpose of our lives here?>> Yet another in a series of great questions from you. I believe that our souls "goal" if you will, is to evolve to the point where it can reunite with God. God who is the embodiment of unconconditional love. To do that, the soul, which I believe is a small part of God, must evolve and experience life to the point where it also can achieve total unconditional love. Our lives, are our sould current attempt to achieve that. the purpose is to further evolve to the pont where we can express complete and unconditional love for all things around us. Thank You for the great questions, great dialogue, and the earnest manner in whicy you engage it. Mark
