GD11d Is God Arbitrary re Bible?

Audio-only, continued from 11c:  now we get into HOW YOU BECOME BETTER as a result of learning and living on Bible, in terms the world respects.  Irony of never becoming a better person, Romans 7;  but on the other hand, becoming more competent than a genius human.  Whaaa????

For what it's worth, my pastor spent seven whopping years of 7-hours-per-week Bible classes to explain all this, in his 1985 Ephesians series (available for free at http://www.rbthieme.org ).  So you'll forgive me, if it takes this hour and the next (Episode 11e) to explain the idea.. okay?

Massive explanation is in http://www.brainout.net/LordvSatan3.htm and its four-part Part 4, which begins at LvS4a.htm .  For at Satan's end, the Trial is about PERFORMANCE.  So God bests him by showing how, even in our uttermost uselessness and weakness, we 'perform' better than anything Satan can achieve.  Yet, remain totally worthless at all times.  Yikes!

Warning:  people tell me the LordvSatan stuff is addictive.  It will take you many months to read;  a whole year, if you start at LordvSatan1.htm .  The series is about the Trial, took me 10 years to write (four years initial, balance editing and clarifying).  So I hope you'll forgive me if I have little patience for folks who insist that there is no Angelic Trial, or that Satan's out to make us sin gross sins, or that the pre-Trib Rapture's invalid.  So if you're one of those folks and you spew unstudied nonsense in my videos, I'll just ignore you.  DO YOUR HOMEWORK, because these issues are real.  If it took my pastor 7 whopping years of almost-daily Bible classes to teach all this, and me 10 years to write it up, there is a LOT of BIBLE material to support the 'interpretation'.  All of it, in fact, fits together perfectly, once you understand the Trial.

Like it or lump it, we are in a far more sophisticated Trial about GOOD DEEDS, than any Christian really knows.  Don't be clueless like they are, crusading over stuff in the world, like how evil the media is, or politics, etc. ad nauseum.  That's the Third Temptation in Matt 4, and Satan just hooked you!
