Genesis

 Genesis has the events that start up this round of testing and preparation before the millennium. God creates the heaven and Earth. But within the second chapter God is threatening to kill people. And in chapter 3 the whole creation goes to shit. It is a strange tale of woe. By chapter 6 God kills every animal and bird on land except for what is floating in a big boat. The whole thing seems very ill conceived. One disaster after another. Where is the happy path to this thing?

God continues killing people and we eventually learn, later in the Bible, that everyone that flunks the test gets thrown into an eternal lake of fire.

It appears that Satan and his angels are already doomed to eternal damnation before the whole thing starts. There is no direct account of the fall of Satan, but he always does evil stuff. Genesis doesn't directly talk about Satan, man seems so flawed God spends a lot of  time killing people and directing activities.

By the time Abraham comes along people are killing each other, having same gender sex, and having sex with animals. God never explains why these things are even possible. Why don't people pair up for life like wolves or ducks? these are recent descendants of the people and animals that came off of the big boat. I believe God is infinite, ands can do anything. Why didn't God adjust the brains and souls of the boat survivors to continue with better results? Why start over with more failures?

God let's things go completely wrong, and then takes fatal corrective action. This is a theme that will continue until the eternal lake of fire and eternal Paradise, which is still in the future.

 Since God is infinite, it allows God to contain eternal evil and destruction, while enjoying eternal happiness and bliss. It isn't clear why both are present for all eternity.

God

  Throughout my life God has been working to bring things about and make things available when needed. A while back my wife and I divorced after 33 years of marriage. Shortly after that she died. Throughout the entire process there were many many things that occurred that just came together. For instance an apartment just happened to be available the same week that it was needed. Then other apartments became available as they were needed. Without looking much. Also my company fired me shortly after her death. But they also insisted that they would pay unemployment benefits. This just happened to coincide with covid-19. So my unemployment benefits were more than normal because of covid. Also medical benefits were made available, which was unexpected. Then my car died and another car was made available at a rock bottom price. It was a great car and did well for over 70,000 miles. There were many other small things that came into play. It's really incredible to see how God does things...

iniquity of the Amorites

  Genesis Previous Chapter Gen.15 [ 1 ] After these things the word of the LORD came unto Abram in a vision, saying, Fear not, Abram: I am thy shield, and thy exceeding great reward. ... [ 13 ] And he said unto Abram, Know of a surety that thy seed shall be a stranger in a land that is not theirs, and shall serve them; and they shall afflict them four hundred years; [ 14 ] And also that nation, whom they shall serve, will I judge: and afterward shall they come out with great substance. [ 15 ] And thou shalt go to thy fathers in peace; thou shalt be buried in a good old age. [ 16 ] But in the fourth generation they shall come hither again: for the iniquity of the Amorites is not yet full.   This implies that the iniquity of the Amorites has begun, and will continue 400 years before the elite army of God's priests return from Egypt to slaughter every living thing. Since the old testament is for our examples, we can make a guess at when Christ will return. The recent round ...

pixel 2 XL camera focus

  For almost a year the camera focus has been irritating at times. Especially when taking close up pictures. The camera would focus on stuff that was further away because it took up more of the field of view. Then finally this morning the thought occurred, why not click on what you want in focus and see what happens. And here are the results.   Notice June 13 is out of focus.   By clicking on 13 the focus automatically changes and then take the picture.   I'm hopeful that Jesus will figure out some way to get those Google guys into heaven.    Here is an example of a fantastic picture ruined by focus problems.    Armed with the new knowledge of resetting the focus more fantastic pictures can be produced.
