You raise some logical questions and in a very civil manner. (Thank you.) I don’t know the answers to any of those questions. They do sound contradictory. I just know we think with a mortal mind. We don’t understand Gods mind. I think He does things which appear wrong to bring about a particular result. And God is God. He can change His mind if He wants to. But I believe it is so everything will come together as planned. At any rate, He doesn’t say anything about smoking cigarettes to be wrong either but to hear people tell it, that is a sin worse than murder. He does say that its what you use your body for that is immoral and will condemn you, not what you put in it such as food and drink and probably cigarettes.
I appreciate the tone of this answer and certainly don’t expect any concrete answers (I looked really hard—they aren’t there) nor expect you to change your mind about the existence of God (a very stressful experience). Unfortunately you undermined the courtesy of this reply by sniping at me behind my back in later replies.
