Which is exactly what I've heard about your god.
Except "for his own ends" is changed to "purpose"
He told Adam the truth.
He warned Adam that a wrong choice would not be to Adam's advantage. He would die.
He did not coerce Adam against his will.
Sure, a great God has a great purpose.
But he did not create Adam a robot that could not resist His purpose.
But that's alright. I am sure you find something else to blame God for.

How many times do I have to tell you?
This isn't a kickball game, we don't have to pick sides. The truth is somewhere in-between.
How can the "truth" or the true way of worship that God is looking for and accepts be somwhere in the middle? The middle of what? A selection of untruths?
A truth is 100% true and unadultreded and anything else even 99% true is still not truth.

Originally posted by SuzianneI was thinking the same about yours. What is ironic about truth? Either something is 100% true or it's not.
This gets the prize for ironic statement of the month.
That's why scriptures make it clear as to god's viewpiont on worshipping him with "TRUTH" and not some form of a "luke warm" substitute belief that is peppered with man made doctrines and that tickles the ears.
