I believe God created all, good and bad and everything in between. The whys and hows of how His Sovereignty comes together is not something I can know. I don't believe I can understand the mind of God, or that I can tap into His Energies, but instead, that through the continual bestowing of His Grace, I can live a life that honors the Sacrifice of His Son.

This 'self-loving' God, so styled by you, and who you seem repulsed by, seems to me to be indeed a 'self-loving', self-regarding God, as is evidenced by His inability to tolerate the broken covenant between Him and our first parents, Adam and Eve.

I'm not sure what this communication of mine to you is worth, as I don't know whether you believe Adam and Eve to be fable or truth, based on your comments on this thread as regards Scripture. Though, that isn't really a concern of mine, as it's your business, it's just that it seems relevant based on this present discussion.

If you find, this, my, view to be so totally missing the mark or repugnant, that doesn't trouble me in the least, as I have little confidence in your powers of theological analysis, based on your myriad comments to this thread. So, Kosta, we'll just have to agree to disagree, and to wish each other peace.
