RE: Sin and the Blame Game

What I'm picking up is that God is too locked into his own temporal frame of reference to communicate basic information to humans. If he says he's going to do something tomorrow, he just doesn't get what 'tomorrow' means to a human, and he can do it a thousand years later and for him that's still 'tomorrow' and he's mystified that anyone expected him to have done it a thousand years ago.
I'm not anti-Christian. I'm anti-stupid.

Oh, Huggy. Anything to avoid answering a question, lol.
Nay_Sayer: “Nothing is impossible if you dream big enough, or in this case, nothing is impossible if you use a barrel of KY Jelly and a miniature horse.”
Wiser words were never spoken.

You can arrive
(mayan arrivan on-when) for any sitting you like without prior
(late fore-when) reservation because you can book retrospectively, as it were, when you return to your own time
(you can have on-book haventa forewhen presooning returningwenta retrohome).

But this god thing was supposed to be talking to us on this planet using a phrase that is used as a specific measure of time, it didn't say a "beetlejuician 7 year", it just said year, which on earth means 365 and a bit days.
Indeed when it was supposed to be saying those things the people knew not of other worlds or time being relative a year was a year was a year.
