Because watching everyone coming up with their own interpretations gives him something to watch. Although I presume he will have got cable tv by now.

Thanks, Hot, I wrote it in the heat of the moment and later thought better about it. In the end, I felt it was more rhetorical, an expression of my own frustration, rather than something that could be responded to in any meaningful way---like bloomdido's response above. But thanks for your good intentions. .

Sometimes I do that as well. You should check this thread out, which was started when I saw the real racism by meanful Christians.

Confusion doesn't come from God.

Man brings confusion among himself when he puts trust in himself instead of God.

We may as well ask, why did God confuse the languages at Babel?


Gen 11:9 That is why it was called Babel—because there the LORD confused the language of the whole world.


True, God is not the author of confusion. We can say that because God's plan is simple and clear. Its simple and clear when not confused with thousands of years of man's doctrines.

The confusion comes in the understanding of God's plan. And the reason is God has concealed his plan, so that we would have to search out the true meaning. This is for our benefit and growth.

Prov 25:2 It is the glory of God to conceal a matter; to search out a matter is the glory of kings.

Matt 13:44 The kingdom of heaven is like treasure hidden in a field. When a man found it, he hid it again, and then in his joy went and sold all he had and bought that field.
