Honestly, in comparison with God, we are, so, would/could we have been told everything?


It's just, I see so many quoting scriptures, but don't think a being as great as God, could have passed everything on to such a low life form. It would be a lot like me drawing pictures, and showing them to my goldfish. (If I had one).

"Everything"? Nope. But he's told us what he has chosen to tell us. And that is in the Scriptures.

yup

err...sorry. "yes"

He's told us that. Gave us 4 Gospels and many other books.

He told our primitive ancestors what they could comprehend with their undeveloped carnal minds but they misunderstood God from the very beginning. God came as a human to correct the misunderstanding but our ancestors were unable to comprehend the spiritual message. They feared a wrathful God and were too carnal-minded (and terrified of Spirits anyway). Apparently, things haven't changed much since.

made in God's image is hardly a "low life form." We carry a piece of the Creator within us, and we have free choice whether to recognize that and both honor the Creator, and also honor all of humanity (individually and collectively) as being children of God. and to act and conduct ourselves in a manner befitting.

As far as having the intellect of root vegetables, speak for yourself. But it seems odd to me that you are equating people with the intellect of root vegetables to the worship of "god". Hmmmmmm.

...i don't know about you but i was conceived with the divine spark and don't perceive myself as a low life at all...i doubt my creator looks at me as a "low life form" either...
