David, I am quite sincerely pleasantly surprised by the below. It is quite
different from the approach I remember you taking some time ago (I'm talking
months), where you seemed to be saying that God wants us all to think the
same thing. Am I misremembering? Did I misinterpret you back then? Or have
you changed your mind? Or am I misinterpreting you now?

Which is not surprising because not everyone on TT is in the same faith.
Again, I simply caution you against finding value in the homogeniety of
ideas and opinions. Our God is a God of diversity. He values unity, no
doubt, but he values unity among diversity not unity among homogeneity.
We
see this in creation, with the diversity of species that exist, and we see
this in the fact that he created man male and female rather than unisex.
We
see this in his prohibition of homosexuality, which is a form of unity
through homogeneity, perverting the unity in heterogeneity that he has
ordained.

That's not to say that smart folks won't end up in heaven, but
perhaps it will be as difficult for them as it is for rich folks to find
their way there.
Very well said! We certainly agree upon this statement.
Peace be with you.
David Miller.
