If God asked you to do something and you do not do it, then why would He do anything for you at all let alone coddle you into your belief?
Before you ask any of that stuff, why not ask yourself why God has fallen silent? His last booming command from the clouds was 2000+ years ago. Care to explain?

*sigh*
Not sure if serious, or if intellectually dishonest...
You keep avoiding the point here. Your request is pointless with an *imperfect product* made by an alleged *perfect being*. Now, in what possible world would a perfect being capable of perfectly transmitting its message decide to do it imperfectly? That doesn't satisfy its *own* will, which is a ridiculous thing to happen to a perfect being.
What you fail to understand is that you assumptions are based on a legalistic understanding of the christian religion. God issues rules. one must follow rules in order to be a follower of God. therefore the media that God uses to communicate said rules must also be perfect. otherwise a perfect God can not be perfect as He has issued rules impossible to follow. Unfairness is a trait of a imperfect God.
I got your arguement. It's wrong, not a little wrong but Mormon wrong. At best you have some bastardized version of Catholicism your working with. Not biblical christianity. Are you still with me?
If you doubt biblical christianity is different than your version, simply take me up on my offer to provide BCV. I will not cut the bible up, but give you whole chapters to read to establish my points. That way you will know what I am saying is contextually consistant with how it was originally to be understood and read. (Perceived flaws and all)
My only condition is that we first explore what you believe to be the plan of salvation. That mean BVC from you.
