RE: God wants us ALL on “His” side.
I agree with you. But how do we know if a specific policy or decision made by the powers that be is “On His Side”? *THAT* is the challenging question.

So simple: Love God. Love each other. Simple but not easy.

The religious chain of authority has been set since Jesus appointed Simon bar Jonah as PETER, the rock, on whom HE built HIS Church.

The "buck" stops with the Papacy who is the final authority on the subject of morals/ethics. The Pope is ELECTED by the sitting Cardinals. They CHOSE the pope so if the pope is bad...those Cardinals had themselves to blame for electing a man they might have KNOWN wasn't a good choice.

There have been bad popes. You can look that up. Jesus had to appoint human beings and that insured that there WOULD be some bad apples. It's that ole "free will" problem.

There was even a bad Apostle, appointed by Jesus: JUDAS ISCARIOT. Jesus knew what he would do.

God made the angels. LUCIFER was one of God's favorites, as LUCIFER means "Light Bearer." God KNEW that LUCIFER was a bad apple but He made him anyway.

.

God's plans were/are/always bill be His own. I don't question them but I DO have a question for our good Lord when I die and meet Him. I hope to hear good news.
Anyway, the question: Lord, why did you make the human knee so fragile? All the other joints of the body experience some 18 different problems but the KNEE has the capacity to experience 50 different problems?
Just wondering, Lord. Thank you for all Your blessings.

Mine is, "Why did you make mosquitoes?"
