Is God particularly fierce?

I gave you many questions, but if you look on them very carefully,you will recognize that these are not questions,but answers in disguise.

The God who created heaven and earth is loving. However, his anger could be too fierce for disobedient Children.

Does the Sun gets dark and stop sending light because only one of trillions billions quadrillions sunrays fell asleep, temporarily ?

God made Heavens and the Earth.

There was a Tree of Life in the Garden.
Look at the Tree of Life as a flashlight or a beam of Light that
leads and shows the way of Light. Like a tree which grows in one direction
the flashlight shines a narrow beam of light to walk safely.
This flashlight is fixed on the path, like a tree is fixed by it's roots.

There was also a tree of knowing Good and evil. God says don't eat this
or you will know Good and evil on the inside of yourself.( "EGO" judgment of Good & evil)
Just stay on the illuminated path (Tree of Life) don't look around in the darkness
that is on the face of the deep. Just follow the path that is illuminated by the flashlight/Tree of Life.

Don't even worry about what you think you see in the darkness
just follow the illuminated path. Otherwise to know Good and evil I will have to
take away your fixed flashlight and give you a little LED keychain light to find your way.
Which is death of the fixed Light and your days will end.

Of course Man had to know what is that, in the darkness I can see
but not know. I want to know what it is, to see if it is Good or evil.
I don't want to just follow the illuminated path. Sure God says I will be safe on this illuminated path
but he knows all, what is in the dark and in the Light.
I want to know also. Chomp, chew, chew, swallow.

There is no light without dark, no good without evil, nothing can exist if it's direct opposite does not also exist.

I think someone made an error in the garden of Eden story

Or a many layered teaching aid.
I was merely pointing to the story to show God is not fierce.
Man makes bad choices which have an effect.(cause and effect)

I don't know sky...
within a space of infinite potential any conceivable thing that exists would have a conceivable opposite that could also exist. both might be needed to see what one of them is. without imaging what evil is, it would be hard to know what good is and see it from a distance. but good could still exist without evil, just it wouldn't be able to be seen

if there is a cosmic principle of infinite potential then it suggests limitless creative impulses going off in myraid directions, essentially unordered by a central planner who simply created the space for it to exist as a living thing
and we are located somewhere in the far corner of the infinite potential

Everything is cause and effect, bad choices can also have a good effect

' but good could still exist without evil '

You are using the words Good and Evil Opposites which need each other to be....

Yin/Yang..... Opposites which cannot exist without each other, as each contain the seed of the other.

Good and Evil might be relative.

For example, some might consider me negative while others might consider me positive.

Look at a coin. How many sides does it have. 3 - most people forget the edge.

Look at a glass of water that is half full of water. Is the glass half empty or is it half full?

Neither - the glass is full.

Put your hand over the top of the glass, tip the glass 180 degrees and then submerge the glass with your hand over the top of the glass. Slowly remove your hand and turn the glass upright under the water. You should see one half of the glass release air bubbles.

Yes, the glass was half full of water but the rest of the glass was full of air.


We have preconceived beliefs and some of them might have errors.
