If we can't live in harmony with each other, let alone nature, what makes us think we can live in harmony with God?
I believe if we could, we could kick the end times can down the road.

Individually we can reasonably well, but as a whole species, no. Not when the lunatics have always run the asylum.

A new stumbling block for inclusivity
Doesn't matter. Once ai is programming itself better than and faster than humans, we all may be goners. ai would not have a reason to keep us alive.

(Jesus says: does not Torah say "ye all are elohim (gods)" ?
Yes but like the original adversarial elohim, we've got it backwards too. Something the 'church' is not too keen on teaching as it appears to defend the wrong kingdom.

Some teach the truth, some don't. The trouble is the truth is hidden.

Well, you know the saying about being convicted by the scripture.
But good point. When the 'church' rejoined the world of man, it did not become in balance with the world, but rejected the Kingdom and re-joined an out of balance world. One cannot be in harmony with God while promoting and aligning with an out of harmony system. We can't have it both ways.

We can't. Every relationship in this fallen world requires some pushing and pulling, including with our Lord.

poetry
requires
harmony!

but it is a simulacra.

if you listen to the rhythms
of this fallen world
you hear the clash of the sword
the bellow of authority
the blow of the shield

the squabbling couple
the struggling child
the rotation of the political stars
the turning of advantages

the ever living constant
warfare
the only rest is death

beauty
a brief relief
but this is what
we chose
with the fruit
we abandoned peace
we chose

WAR!

first against God
which is against ourselves
we hate our own selves,
we are God's image
now we cannot even agree
on how best to conquer God

if we could

When we accepted the Gospel
we choose

PEACE!

with God,
but now,
peace must fight war
also
how best to follow
how best to have peace
with God
is something else to fight over.

so take up your sword, and learn your steps
those who learn to fight,
are successful
those who refuse to fight,
are the broken we
have to keep mending.

Take the Armor of God and fight!
