So why is god failing to convey his message?
Because of an individual's own past experiences people mix in their own personal biases with the messages conveyed from God.
Hobbes' Choice wrote:If god created men then their failings are his design.
Why would you think god is a he? Have your own personal past experiences been mixed in with what the actual and real Truth conveyed from God is?
That is not a relevant objection. I don't believe in any god, gender is no more than a convention.
It certainly was NOT an objection. What it was was a question asked for clarity. Did you notice my two sentences both ended with a question mark. A question mark infers a question asked, for clarification. An objection is usually made in a statement, not a question. For your information ALL of my sentences ending with a question mark means I am asking you a question, and not making an objection.
By the way, did you notice you did NOT answer my second question?

OR "If god created men then their failings are god's design"
They are both deceptions from what is True. I do not prefer either of them. I prefer only to see what you write, from what you
want to write. This shows Me far more about 'you', and what is thought to be right.
Hobbes' Choice wrote:Now answer the question if you can. And try it without the usual obfuscation.
Do you really expect Me to answer your question again? YET you have maybe only answered just a couple, if that many, of my questions directed towards YOU, which must be getting up towards over 50 by now.
I have answered this thread question the best I can, SO FAR. If you unable to understand it and/or do not want to ask questions to Me for clarification of understanding what I have said, then so be it. You will just keep existing where you are now.
Also, do you know how much of a waste of time it is to talk to a human being who believes (in) some thing?
By the way, just maybe if you answered some of my very simple and easily asked clarifying questions directed at you, so that I could gain some kind of insight into you, and the way you tick, and gain a better understanding of exactly where you are coming from, then I could try to write in a way that is less obfuscuring to your way of seeing things. Have you ever thought that that is what I have been trying to do all along?
Obviously what I write is obscure, not clear, and unintelligible to you because of the views you now hold, and are trying so hard to not share with us here. The reason you are so bewildered with what I write is because of those already obvious views that you are trying to hide from Me, and others.
Hobbes' Choice wrote:You seem to want to absolve god of the responsibility, whilst blaming humans for failings of design which cannot be failing done. You cannot blame a car for the flaws in its own engine. The responsibility lies with the designer.
By your response here you certainly have absolutely no understanding of what my views are yet.
One day you might.
Have you ever considered that if a "Designer" allowed Its Self to evolve into a thing, which is free to choose to do whatever it likes, and have the ability to learn from the mistakes It makes, then that is NOT absolving any responsibility from anything nor is blaming any thing for anything.
That, by the way, just might be how an evolving "Thing" comes into Its own being and consciously aware Self.
One day you also might become truly and fully responsible for what you, yourself, do, and then also become fully conscious, aware, AND be able to answer the question, Who am 'I', exactly? Until then it probably be better that you stop being so sure of yourself.
Hobbes' Choice wrote:God has failed to convey "His" message, to paraphrase the thread title.
Have you paraphrased the thread title correctly?
The thread title is a question. It is NOT a statement.
Hobbes' Choice wrote:You have not begun to challenge that except to allude to the claim that YOU know what the message is but other poor humans are not capable through their own failings.
How is it possible to challenge a question? The way you look at what I write, that is ONLY from your own personal past experiences, which are filled with already gained assumptions and beliefs, based on those past experiences, is completely deluding you from what I am actually writing and meaning.
There is nothing to challenge. There is only a question asked. I answered it, although admittedly not as good as I would like to, just yet. But bewildering people JUST BY asking them questions is part of my evolving plan. There is no fun in just giving all of Life's so called "secrets" away. What I find far more fun is watching individual human beings refuse to answer simple questions and think they know what is absolutely true, right, and correct.
By the way, HOW could a thing that does not exist convey "A" message?
if you believe a thing is non-existent, then why bother yourself even questioning it or talking about It to others?
Further to this, if you believe a non-existing thing could not convey a message, then why go on about It?
Does it bother you that some people believe things that you do not believe?
Could "God" be conveying messages to you, right here and right now, and you would not even recognize that?
