I agree with most of your post, hospepie, except the part that God “tests us.” God only sends us blessings. The rest is our doing...

Not according to Scripture.

Human life is a Maze.. a test.. Failure is Draconian, success is Utopian..
Could even be a contest.. or better a qualification for some future Universal Authority over a "few or many things".. I like qualification better.. but test works.. Jesus implied many of these things.. If his metaphors can be decrypted its not a secret....
