What a total mess you people have made of the christian faith in all its simplicity.

For God it is simple, as God is simple. But we humans, rather we sinners, make it complicated. If no one would had sinned, it would have remained simple, just love God and neighbor.
The angels too are simple because they have no body. We humans are both body and soul and thus enters the variety of expressions and needs as well as the many ways to love God as well as the many ways to say no to God which we call sin.
If I want the world and religion the way I want it, then I am in trouble because I did not create myself nor the world. I seek the truth and reality outside of my little head, from God. Otherwise I will not spend eternity with God.
God does not force anyone to accept the truth from God nor to spend eternity with him in heaven. We are free. If I demand to be in charge, then I will not spend eternity in heaven where there is only one God, not two. In hell everyone thinks he is in charge and invents the truth and reality according to himself. But in hell who is in charge? The one who is the strongest. Might makes right! The one who is the strongest is called Satan!
