Jesus in me
According to the OP it is what this god being wants... to reduce suffering.
I believe He wants to reduce sin since the wages of sin is death.

This is not God begging. This is mankind manipulating.
It has never ever been about Sin.
That's what I see. It's very clear!!
I will also not equate good souls with evil souls because all men are are not equal in the sight of God.I love and hate in equal measure. You can call me what you want, but I will not equate the havoc mischief makers on earth with those who set aright, nor the good souls with evil souls.
Who said anything about Hate?

How sad that you see wickedness and sin when you see a newborn child. What a dark and dismal world you live in.I believe there are no innocent children only children with past lives that could have been wicked or at least sinful.

Who called anyone ugly garbage evil souls? Certainly not me.When you condemn others as an ugly garbage evil souls, how do you define that? When you value and give others all those petty things mankind holds so dear, it is no more than a form of hate.
How would you feel if someone came up to you and told you that you are an ugly garbage evil soul? Would you feel loved? How do you think the person's actions would be toward you at this point?
Now for the Big question!!! What would your response be to the person telling you you are an ugly garbage evil soul?????????????????????????????
People can come up with so many excuses and justifications to hate. Many do not even realize what they are really doing. Being on the receiving end will shine light on your choices and actions.
That's what I see. It's very clear!!
I am not calling you anything. You are a Child of God. I will Love all Children of God Unconditionally regardless of their choices. I merely point that if you were to eliminate all those petty things mankind holds so dear, it would leave you with nothing but the ability to nurture the goodness in others.
You might just find you have developed the ability to really change an ugly garbage evil soul into something beautiful. Even if they did not change all the way, you might make it possible for someone else to make the difference. Just think how accomplished you would really be, hurting no one and leading them all forward.
That's what I see. It's very clear!!

According to the Bible and Baha'i beliefs, God loves everyone and shines His Light upon everyone.
Matthew 5:45 That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust.
"How ignorant therefore the thought that God who created man, educated and nurtured him, surrounded him with all blessings, made the sun and all phenomenal existence for his benefit, bestowed upon him tenderness and kindness, and then did not love him. This is palpable ignorance, for no matter to what religion a man belongs even though he be an atheist or materialist nevertheless God nurtures him, bestows His kindness and sheds upon him His light."
('Abdu'l-Baha, Star of the West, Vol. 8, issue 7, p. 78)
However, that does not mean that all men are equal in the sight of God, be they good or evil. God is not only loving, God is also just. There is no justice in saying all people are equal when their deeds are not equal.
You do not Understand. I do not value the petty things mankind holds so dear.You do not Understand. You still value those petty things mankind holds so dear. You must let them go in order to see.
God is the best reward, there is nothing to seek but Him. There is also nothing to rely on but Him.
Seek other then him, and despite everything else not worth it, and you squander your life in seeking petty life of this world, despite his warnings and reminders to the path, then God is simply giving us the path we turned to.
It's an act of justice, we belittled his friends okay, and we belittled his exalted ones okay, say they were not important, why belittle God and avoid him? He made the exalted ones the means to him and so has connected their light with his, their guidance with his, relying on him with relying on them, and the reward of their power sustenance and treasures from them as him being the best reward.
Avoiding them is in fact avoiding God, envying them and hating on them, is hating on God.
The fact is God is relied on through them.
The envier of God's chosen cannot be treated like the lover of God's chosen. They are not equal in how they should be treated.
For the envier and hater, hell is the end. And for the lover of and holder on to God's Treasured Signs and proofs and guides on the journey, paradise is the end.
If we avoid God's friends because they are a bit imperfect, why avoid God's exalted ones? And if we avoid them and envy on them because it hits our pride we are not equal plane, could not we see that God is the reward and they are means to him, and so was it worth hating on God and denying his favor to deny them?
Why couldn't we be thankful and slit our arrogance and submit to God's favors? Where they not God's treasured names and direction and face and image, so that we realize God is redeeming us and connecting us to him through them even after we fallen in the darkness?
Instead of loving the light from God and leader from him and guardian from God over our souls that has been fighting for our souls our whole lives trying to save us, we deny him and his authority and run towards dark hearts? Could not we see God's favor to us in all that or that it's ingratitude we chosen because we could not handle the rank of God's exalted ones and the greatness of their lovers above the haters?
Of course, many people simply do not hate them other than that they want to run towards illusions from Iblis. Yet, the truth and happiness all lied in God's light, not in illusions that lead to worshiping Iblis. There are different gates to hell, but none of them should be entered.
There are better ways!!
You do not Understand. I do not value the petty things mankind holds so dear.
I only value those things that God revealed through the Messenger, which are anything but petty.
You do not Understand. I only value those things that God revealed through the Messenger.You do not Understand. You want these petty things that mankind holds so dear to be true. If you really Understood all sides, they would no longer be a viable choice you could make.
