    God Likes thinkers. But faith without works. Is dead. To have knowledge and not use it to better, I cant see how even God can condone that.

    Perfect Love (God) thinketh no evil at all,

    Neither to punish, Nor even to forgive:

    1Corinthians 13:5

    For if the truth be kNOWn: Mt 12:31; Mk 3:29;

    all law imputed sin "hath never forgiveness",

    neither in this world, nor the world to come.

    http://www.godshew.org/ShewBread.htm#Forgiveness

    So charity never fails (1Cor 13:8) is notably

    put on "above" forgiving: Colossians 3:12-15.

    Until we do that, it's still potential fail-u-are.

    For Better is not yet Best, nor yet true Rest.

    A person's career is not God's focus. He's more worried about the spiritual aspect of a person's life.

    You can be a very smart person and work at a gas station, as long as you're not being lazy.

    Wasn't Jesus pretty darn smart, but spent his life doing things that others considered to be a waste of time?

    i hear a <sigh> from the spirit.

    but i know it is written that the wicked shall flourish and yet be burned in the fire as weeds.

    i guarantee you, most success in this mortal life, is evil or criminal. what you define as success is an abomination to God as it is written what man highly esteems is an abomination to God.

    "Faith without works is dead."

    Basically means to get up, get out, and do something. Don't waste your potential by sitting around.

    I lack the arrogance, and ignorance, to presume to speak for any god.

    He doesn't think anything about them.

    Look at satan he was a genius, and he chose to waste his life.
