God is not being "coy" by not submitting to your little theories. Rather, He is painting a masterpiece, using different colors and brushes. You would have Him use a power sprayer and beige cause it's more egalitarian.

No, I just do as Jesus did and take God at his word. You're the one trying to excavate new ground cause you like your philosophy over what Christ gave us from God. Just as your 3rd century predecessors decided it was not sinful to sacrifice to the Roman Gods. The spirit that perverted God's word then is alive and well in a few of you here trying to reason a way around what God's word says. Same thing different day. Scripture says "Jesus wept" - you say, "That's not what it says, you're mistranslating and limiting God." If that is mistranslating, maybe you should learn to mistranslate cause you got everything backwards. If you try doing it wrong, you might mistakenly get it right.

You really shouldn't make stuff like this up.
