You seem to think that the physical world is evil? Yet you believe God created it?

We should love God more, than the our own family according to the flesh, and we should think that the real family of us is the people's who fill the will of God.
"Fill the will of God"? What does that mean to you? And are you saying that if your child or spouse isn't living up to whatever that is, you aren't allowed to love them, or enjoy their company?

God made you a beautiful planet. God wants you to enjoy it, yes?

Are you allowed to smile and laugh at the beauty surrounding you? Are you even allowed to notice it?

You speak like the man of the world, who love this world, but know this, that this world do not know God, what you are claim that you serve.

The Bible say that friendship of the world is a enmity for God.

If you do not trust the holy scriptures of Bible, then how can you trust the Spirit which have inspired the Scriptures?

I speak like a woman who lives in the world. I cannot live in a windowless room. If I did, I would paint windows with a view. I would paint flowers, trees, and lakes on the wall. My nature is to be happy.

God wants me to enjoy the beauty around me. God wants me to take care of the world, and all of it's beauty.

God does not want me to live in a gray, colorless world.

If you don't find beauty and enjoyment in this world then you are failing to appreciate your God's gifts.

It's unfortunate that so many Christians think being dour is being holy. It isn't. It's just being a Debbie Downer.

What did Jesus mean when He said,"The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full."

Check out the meaning of the concept "friendship with the world." You will find that it has to do with selfish pursuits; things taken at the expense of others.

The Bible says that do not love the world, and you do not want to follow the doctrines of it, but make some own doctrines to follow, and what are you winning for that?

Every man can make some own doctrines to follow, even gentiles, but do they follow the Lord Jesus when they do that? No, they follow they own heart desires, like you do.

But I say to you all this, that do not follow your own heart desires, but follow the Lord Jesus because the Lord Jesus Christ is the way, the truth, and the life, and who stay's in him stay's in the life, and get live.
