You probably, and I assuredly, have heard someone exclaim something similar to: "He's the type who tries to assemble or run the device, then reads the assembly instructions afterwards."

The inference is clear. Thank God for SpellCheck, which always should be used before publishing new webpages on the internet. And he or she who is without sin toss the first stone, which is no excuse for misspellings.

And it helps to read the Operating Instructions first, before trying to assemble or operate newly-acquired devices.

What could the Operating Instructions be compared to, if not The Law?

Not the moral Law, of course (although closely related to it), but the anti-morality anger, swear words, non-joyful disappointment, extreme frustration, and waste of money can be consequences of not reading then complying with the Operating Instructions in the beginning.

Sometimes, if accommodation is not made to whatever Law (such as warning signs of all sorts) the consequence can be serious injury or even death. Take highway signs of all kinds, for example. No need for illustrations to be said about that, I hope.

Laws need not always be formatted as negative exclamatories. Often, merely mentioning the potentially-dangerous phenomena at hand or possible issue ahead before venturing forward, or remaining stagnant and stationary without moving along when bidden to advance ahead, is enough of a precaution to heed for personal safety and even survival.

Sometimes, manufacturers of certain devices have their engineers make the devices "idiot-proof" - as, for example, constructing the two prongs of a power cord (to be inserted into an electrical socket) of slightly-different widths for proper polarization and grounding, which electrical socket itself is constructed to accept prongs only one way and not the other. Makers of electronic items take into "consideration" morons who will insert batteries with the plus and minus reversed, and so have the unit "goof-proof" circuits-protected to compensate for such possibly-accidental or belligerent fools.

Doors have locks for "expection" or "anticipation" of thieves or vandals going where no non-authorized person should go.

Which gets us to The Moral Law as displayed in not merely fickle and alterable, legalistic and limited civil or governmental statutes, requirements, and regulations, or even various cultic or adiaphoric religious texts, but the constant and non-changeable Law (i.e. laws) stated within the magnificent bowels of the non-apocryphal Sacred-66-books Judeo-Christian Holy Bible.

As previously mentioned, the result of not reading and complying with Operating Instructions of newly-purchased items is livid vulgar-language emitted, clearly-audible consternation and disappointment, plus money and time wasted.

But immediate penalties for being ignorant or unaware of, or even deliberately disregarding or disdaining (and ultimately disobeying) specific Biblically-mentioned moral Law is not always immediately obvious, yet the effects are far greater and much more devastating than those mentioned in the previous paragraph . . . both in the short and especially the long term.

Because of that, it is initially perplexing why Saint Paul initially seemed to want to divert people away from becoming informed of all what moral Law is, discouraging them from trying to obey or comply with the moral Law and miss out experiencing the gratifying benefits of accommodating to moral Law, but rather cause victims to suffer the misery and pain of not becoming enlightened of the totality of what moral Law includes and is comprised of.

He and his associates might not like it that I said that. Nor would the Holy Spirit who had His hit-men cannonize and preserve the prestigious prevalent prose of Paul's epistle particulars penned by the prominent Jewish proselytizer.

But did Paul really want us to be content remaining Scripturally-illiterate dummies as to every aspect of morality God wants us to become and continue to be aware of?

Second Corinthians 8:7 Now as you excel in everything - in faith, in utterance, in knowledge, in all earnestness, and in your love for us - see that you excel in this gracious work also.
Second Corinthians 11:6 Even if I am non-skilled in speaking, I am not in knowledge; in every way we have made this plain to you in all things.

Colossians 1:9 And so, from the day we heard of it, we have not ceased to pray for you, asking that you may be filled with the knowledge of His will in all spiritual wisdom and understanding,
Colossians 1:10 to lead a life worthy of the Lord, fully pleasing to Him, bearing fruit in every good work(!) [work?] and increasing in the knowledge of God.
Colossians 3:10 and have put on the new nature, which is being renewed in knowledge after the image of its Creator.
First Timothy 2:4 who desires all persons to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth.
First Timothy 6:20 Ah Timothy, guard what has been entrusted to you. Avoid the godless chatter and contradictions of what is falsely called ["academic" or "scientific"] "knowledge"
Second Timothy 3:7 who will listen to anybody and can never arrive at a knowledge of the truth.
Titus 1:1 From Paul, a servant of God and an apostle of Jesus Christ, to further the faith of God's elect and their knowledge of the truth which accords with godliness...
Hebrews 12:14 Strive for peace with all humans, and for the [lawful and perhaps also legal but not anti-lawful] holiness without which no one will see the Lord.

So is it really anti-Christian and anti-Gospel but instead damnable and of Satan, The Devil, and demonic, to desire pleasing God by wanting to try to obey His Law, and - beyond that - actually trying to obey His Law and - beyond that - even obeying it at times in spite of deplorably-inadequate hit-or-miss success and failure?

Piss and poop in your face, and your ilk, if you presume so. Perhaps most police would agree.

However, is that trying, and only partially-succeeding, what "justifies" us (a constant striving for but falling short of accumulating enough brownie-points to tip the future Judgment Scale in our favor)?

Can we atone for past and present sins of ourselves by ourselves without dependence upon God and His bloody gospel, but instead by intending to and trying to perfectly obey all the Law 24/7?

Romans 3:21 But now the righteousness of God has been manifested apart from Law, although Law and the prophets bear witness to it,
3:22 the righteousness of God through faith in Jesus Christ for all who believe. For there is no distinction;
3:23 being that all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,
3:24 we are justified by His grace as a gift, through redemption which is in Christ Jesus,
3:25 whom God put forward as an expiation by His blood [did you know that God had male-gender "blood?"], to be received by faith. This was to show God's righteousness, because in His divine forbearance He passed over former sins;
3:26 it was to prove at the present time that He Himself is righteous and that He justifies him who has faith in Jesus.
3:28 Clearly, a man (and woman) is justified by faith apart from works of Law.
3:29 Or is God the God of Jews only? Is he not the God of the nations also? Yes, of the nations also,
3:30 being that God is one; and He will justify the circumcised on the ground of their faith and the uncircumcised through their faith.
3:31 Do we then overthrow Law by this faith? By no means! On the contrary, we uphold the Law. [Love the Star-of-David-reminiscent six-pointed silver stars which Old-West sheriffs and marshals wore on their shirts]

Galatians 2:21 I do not nullify the grace of God; for if justification [i.e. getting right with God but not by attempting self-atonement and self-redemption through haphazardly trying to perfectly obey all the Law, and frequently missing the mark] were through Law, then Christ died to no purpose.

Even purported "good works" and "fruits of the Spirit" are, of necessity, defined by Law.

What is meant by "good" works and "fruits of the Spirit?"

Are "good works" to be regarded as sexually conquering a motel or hotel escort or harlot in a massage parlor, promoting or tolerating so-called "gay" or "abortion" "rights" minus "hateful judgmental discrimination," smoking or getting drunk with the gang to become "acceptable," successfully robbing a bank or convenience store and getting away with it, anonymously raping a woman who might like it underneath it all in a secluded park at night without getting caught, trading sex with the teacher for a passing grade, cheating because "everyone else is doing it," or lying to stay out of trouble?

Whatever the Law within Holy Writ defines "good" works to be, such "good works" are obligatory:

Matthew 5:48 "You, therefore, must be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect."

Luke 6:46 "Why do you call me 'Lord, Lord,' and not do what I tell you?"

Romans 3:19 Now we know that whatever Law says it speaks to those who are under Law, so that every mouth may be stopped, and the whole world may be held accountable to God.
3:20 For no human being will be justified in His sight by works of Law, because through Law comes knowledge of sin.
3:21 But now the righteousness of God has been manifested apart from Law, although Law and the prophets bear witness to it . . .

Romans 5:1 Therefore, being that we are justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ.
Romans 5:9 Thus, being that we are now justified by His blood, much more shall we be saved by Him from the wrath of God.
Galatians 2:16 yet who know that a person is not justified by [hit-and-miss] works of Law but through [non-faltering] faith in Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Christ Jesus, in order to be justified by [consistent] faith in Christ, and not by [sporadic] works of Law, because by [imperfect] works of Law shall no one be justified.
Galatians 3:24 So that Law was our schoolmaster/tutor/trainer until Christ came, that we might be justified by faith.
Galatians 5:4 You are severed from Christ, you who would be justified by the [non-satisfactory partial obedience to] Law; you have fallen away from grace.
Titus 3:7 That being justified by His grace [understandably bestowed as His compensation to us for imposing Tempter-and-Tree stumbling blocks in the Garden of Eden], we be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life.
James 2:21 Was not Abraham our father justified by works, when he offered [or was in the process of] his son Isaac upon the altar?
James 2:24 You see that a man (or woman) is justified by [good?] works and not by [inconsistent?] faith alone.
James 2:25 And in the same way was not also Rahab the whore justified by works when she received the messengers and sent them out another way?

It becomes clear that self-atonement by trying to obey all the Law perfectly at all times in every way [remember to always and completely stop at stopsigns, and never exceed the speed limit even a tiny tiny bit], is woefully inadequate to cover our past and present sins (even though such were committed under spam-like duress), and/or sacrificing whatever self-righteous sacrifices we might presume that we ourselves self-expiationally might attempt to justify ourselves with.

Instead, what is the only workable and valid remedy is explained by:

Hebrews 10:1 Being that the Law has but a shadow of the good things to come instead of the true form of these realities, it can never, by the same sacrifices which are continually offered year after year, make perfect those who draw near.
10:2 Otherwise, would they not have ceased to be offered? If the worshipers had once been cleansed, they would no longer have any consciousness of sin.
10:3 But in these sacrifices there is [only] a reminder of sin year after year.
10:4 For it is impossible that the blood of bulls and goats could take away sins [but merely only atoned for temporarily with necessity of annual or added repetition because of re-sinning].
10:5 Consequently, when Christ came into the world, He said, "Sacrifices and offerings you have not desired, but a body have you prepared for me;
10:6 in burnt offerings and sin offerings you have taken no pleasure.
10:7 But I have come to do what you wanted, God, as it is written of me in the roll of the book."
10:10 And by that will we have been sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.
10:11 And every priest stands daily at his service, offering repeatedly the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins.
10:12 But when Christ had offered for all time a single sacrifice for sins, He sat down at the right hand of God,
10:13 then to wait until His enemies be made a stool for His feet.
10:14 For by a single offering He has perfected for all time those who are sanctified.
10:15 And the Holy Spirit also bears witness to us; for after saying:
10:16 "This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days," says the Lord: "I will put my laws on their hearts, and write them on their minds,"
10:17 then He adds, "I will remember their sins and their misdeeds no more."
10:18 Where there is forgiveness of these, there is no longer any offering for sin.
10:19 Therefore, friends, being that we have confidence to enter the sanctuary by the blood of Jesus,
10:20 by the new and living way which He opened for us through the [Holy-of-Holies] curtain, that is, through His flesh,
10:21 and being that we have a great Priest over the house of God,
10:22 let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, with our hearts sprinkled clean from an evil conscience and our bodies washed with pure water.
10:23 Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is faithful;
10:24 and let us consider how to stir up one another to love and good works,
10:25 not neglecting to meet together [good peer pressure, being that 'Bad company ruins good morals'], as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another, and all the more as you see the Day drawing near.
10:26 For if we sin deliberately after receiving the knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains a sacrifice for sins,
10:27 but a fearful prospect of judgment, and a fury of Fire which will consume the adversaries.

A shallow superficial presumption of anti-Law outlook pertaining to New-Testament apostle and author Paul appears, at first, to be diametrically opposed to what his Creator did right from the start by giving triple-Law commandments to our ancient ancestors Adam and Eve:

Genesis 2:15 The LORD God took the man and put him in the garden of Eden to till it and keep it.
2:16 And the LORD God commanded the man, saying, "You may freely eat of every tree of the garden;
2:17 but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat of it you shall die."

So the eat-but-do-not-eat Instruction Manual for the primal pair was quite non-complicated and simple. And what was the cause (not "reason") for totally-but-innocently-naked Eve choosing to disobey one of those Prime Directives (the third of which was to "multiply" - however they easily figure that out in the state of complete mutual undress they found themselves in)?

Paul put it this way:

Romans 7:11 For sin, finding opportunity in the commandment, deceived me and by it killed me.

So he blamed "sin." And yet we are told that all was "good" to start with:

Genesis 1:31 And God saw everything that He had made, and hey, it was very good. And there was evening and there was morning, a sixth day.

Did that "goodness" include God creating the Garden Tempter, the dangerous and eventually lethal Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil, the free wills of both Adam and Eve to choose to disobey Law, and "sin" of and from who all were "inevitably" involved?

Was that Prime Directive to not eat of the Forbidden Tree what got both Eve and Adam to sin? In other words, was the "Don't-Eat-of-The-Tree-Lest-You-Die" simple Operating-Instruction-Manual-equivalent Law to blame and at fault for our preliminary parents choosing to disobey it and thus "sin?"

Romans 7:12 So the law is holy, and the commandment is holy and just and good.
Romans 7:16 Now if I do what I do not want, I agree that the law is good.
Galatians 3:22 But the scripture consigned all things to sin, that what was promised to faith in Jesus Christ might be given to those who believe.
First Timothy 1:8 Now we know that the law is good, if any one uses it lawfully...

Paul seems to pooh-pooh the Law, only to then revert back to it describing misbehavior which, of necessity, is defined by Law -- not simply concerning what such misbehaviors are described as being, but also using Law to tell us why and in what ways such misbehaviors are bad, wrong, evil, destructive, non-profitable, and damnable.

A substitute of "being led by the Spirit" (instead of vainly attempting to always perfectly obey all the Law without dependence upon and faith in God) resulting in not sinful works of human flesh setting shortsighted minds and cravings on flesh-only desires and cravings (like ostriches with their heads buried in some hole) but instead performing holy works of God called "fruits of the Spirit," requires cultivating one's sacred desire to do what it takes for God to produce, in a person's life, fruit which the person cannot create by themselves (although cultivation in many forms is admittedly a series of good works or labor of and by each person which takes both willing personal discipline and voluntary effort on their part).

Even purported "good works" and "fruits of the Spirit" are, of necessity, defined by the Law.

What is meant by "good" works and "fruits of the Spirit?"

Are "good works" to be regarded as donating to porno-art or pervert-homosexual or abortion-homicide or evolution-mythology or antisemitic causes?

The Law, plus enough and proper knowledge of it, is both crucial and vital in determining the value or worthlessness of such fruits of "love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, good, gentleness, and self-control.

Such platonic goody-goody "successory-type" words by themselves, as moralistic-axiom semantics devoid of context which some moralistic teacher might propagandize toddlers in elementary school with (e.g. honesty, integrity, peace, love, perseverance, unity, tolerance, determination, etc.) are not adequate, but even they must be defined by Law.

Being "tolerant and at peace with, loving, persevering with, in unity with, determined with" homosexuals?

Leviticus 18:22 You shall not lie with a male as with a woman; it is an abomination.
Leviticus 20:13 If a man lies with a male as with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination; they shall be put to death, their blood is upon them.

Second Chronicles 19:2 But Jehu the son of Hanani the seer went out to meet him, and said to King Jehoshaphat, "Should you help the wicked and love those who hate the LORD? Because of this, wrath has gone out against you from the LORD.

Isaiah 3:10 Tell the righteous that it shall be well with them, for they shall eat the fruit of their deeds.

Jeremiah 4:10 Then I said, "Ah, Lord GOD, surely you have totally deceived this people and Jerusalem, saying: 'It shall be well with you'; whereas the sword has reached their very life."
Jeremiah 23:17 They say continually to those who despise the word of the LORD, 'It shall be well with you'; and to every one who stubbornly follows his own heart, they say, 'No evil shall come upon you.'"
Jeremiah 38:20 Jeremiah said, "You shall not be given to them. Obey now the voice of the LORD in what I say to you, and it shall be well with you, and your life shall be spared.

Being "tolerant and at peace with, loving, persevering with, in unity with, determined with" summertime female immodest, fornicatresses, and adultresses?

Ezekiel 16:36 Thus says the Lord GOD: "Because your shame was laid bare and your nakedness uncovered in your harlotries with your lovers, and because of all your idols, and because of the [aborted?] blood of your children that you gave to them,
16:37 therefore, hey, I will gather all your lovers, with whom you took pleasure, all those you loved and all those you loathed [loathed!]; I will gather them against you from every side, and will uncover your nakedness to them, that they may see all your nakedness.
16:38 And I will judge you as women who break wedlock and shed [aborted?] blood are judged, and bring upon you the blood of wrath and jealousy.
16:39 And I will give you into the hand of your lovers, and they shall throw down your vaulted chamber and break down your lofty places; they [the anti-vice squad and IRS?] shall strip you of your clothes and take your fair jewels, and leave you naked and bare.
16:40 They shall bring up a host against you, and they shall stone you and cut you to pieces with their [islamic-ISIS?] swords.
16:41 And they shall burn your houses and execute judgments upon you in the sight of many women; I will make you stop playing the harlot, and you shall also give hire no more.

First Corinthians 6:15 Do you not know that your bodies are members of Christ? Shall I therefore take the members of Christ and make them members of a prostitute? Never!

Titus 3:10 As for a person who is factious, after admonishing him once or twice, have nothing more to do with him,
Titus 3:11 knowing that such a one is perverted and sinful; he (or she) is self-condemned.

So, should one have "love" for pervert homosexuals, homogays, baby-murdering abortionists, creationist-contradiction evolution-mythology heretics, antisemitic anti-Zionist "palestinians," prurient-"art" pornographers and immodest slut-types posing for and getting money for exposing themselves indecently? Should one be at "peace" with those accursed ones? Should we be "patient" with (or "tolerant" of) such? "Kind" to them? "Gentle" towards them?

Piss and poop in your face, and your ilk, if you presume so. Perhaps most police would agree.

The totality of Scripture is chuck full of incident after incident of God wreaking just and deserving vengeance against the wicked - both by Himself with Acts of God, and Him frequently using His human executioners.

To repeat, for those possibly dull-of-mind, and thus self-challenged: the same Paul who apparently despised behavior modification by obedience to Law again reverted back to Law in terms of enlightening us what the Law says we must not do:

First Corinthians 6:9 Do you not know that the non-righteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived; neither the immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor sodomites,
First Corinthians 6:10 nor thieves, nor the greedy, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor robbers will inherit the kingdom of God.

"We are not under law but under grace to live in the Spirit with liberty and freedom without bondage to law?" Tell that to a squad-car cop next time you are inclined to run a red stoplight with the irrationalization of: 'Keep your laws off my body' or: 'No one is going to tell me what to do.'

Paul's apparent diatribe against Law is curious.

What is anti-Law(?) Paul after? What point is he trying to make, by stating such Law-related things as:

Galatians 5:19 Now the works of the flesh are plain: fornication, impurity, licentiousness,
Galatians 5:20 idolatry, sorcery, enmity, strife, jealousy, anger, selfishness, dissension, party spirit,
Galatians 5:21 envy, drunkenness, carousing, and the like. I warn you, as I warned you before, that those who do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.

Ephesians 5:3 But fornication and all impurity or covetousness must not even be named [nor suggested] among you, as is fitting among saints.
Ephesians 5:5 Be sure of this, that no fornicator or impure man, or one who is covetous (that is, an idolater), has any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God.

Colossians 3:5 Put to death therefore what is earthly in you: fornication, impurity, passion, evil desire, and covetousness, which is idolatry.

Concordantly, the Law (and knowledge of it) is absolutely essential in not simply becoming cognizant of who to trust and admire for courtship to marriage (in stark contrast of who to not romantically date for dating leading to marriage, involving at least the issue of wearing decent or indecent, modest or immodest seasonal and year-round clothing covering what even burka and hijab shawled and robed islamic fundies would consider not punishable by beheading), but discerning who the bad guys and gals are, compared to who the good guys and gals are:

Psalm 119:29 Put false ways far from me; and graciously teach me your law!
119:34 Give me understanding, that I may keep your law and observe it with my whole heart.
119:44 I will keep your law continually forever;
119:51 Godless persons completely deride me, but I do not turn away from your law.
119:53 Hot indignation seizes me because of the wicked, who reject your law.
119:55 I remember your name in the night, LORD, and keep your law.
119:61 Though the cords of the wicked ensnare me, I do not forget your law.
119:70 their heart is gross like fat, but I delight in your law.
119:77 Let thy mercy come to me, that I may live; for your law is my delight.
119:85 Godless persons have dug pitfalls for me, men who do not conform to your law.
119:92 If your law had not been my delight, I would have perished in my affliction.
119:97 Oh, how I love your law! It is my meditation all the day.
119:109 I hold my life in my hand continually, but I do not forget your law.
119:113 I hate double-minded persons, but I love your law.
119:136 My eyes shed streams of tears, because persons do not keep your law.
119:142 Thy righteousness is righteous forever, and your law is true.
119:150 They draw near who persecute me with evil purpose; they are far from your law.
119:153 Look on my affliction and rescue me, for I do not forget your law.
119:163 I hate and abhor falsehood, but I love your law.
119:165 Great peace have those who love your law; nothing can make them stumble.
119:174 I long for your salvation, LORD, and your law is my delight.

Proverbs 11:30 The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life, but lawlessness takes away lives.
Proverbs 29:18 Where there is no prophecy the people throw off restraint (and sometimes their modest clothes), but blessed is he (and she) who keeps the Law.

Second Thessalonians 2:3 Let no one deceive you in any way; for that day will not come, unless the rebellion comes first, and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the son of perdition,
Second Thessalonians 2:7 For the mystery of lawlessness is already at work; only he who now restrains it will do so until he is out of the way.

Hebrews 1:9 You have loved righteousness and hated lawlessness; therefore God, your God, has anointed you with the oil of gladness beyond your comrades.

First John 3:4 Every one who commits sin is guilty of lawlessness; sin is lawlessness.

Acts 2:23 this Jesus, delivered up according to the definite plan and foreknowledge of God, you crucified and killed by the hands of lawless men.
Second Thessalonians 2:8 And then the lawless one will be revealed, and the Lord Jesus will slay him with the breath of his mouth and destroy him by his appearing and his coming.
Second Thessalonians 2:9 The coming of the lawless one by the activity of Satan will be with all power and with pretended signs and wonders
First Timothy 1:9 understanding this, that the law is not laid down for the just but for the lawless and disobedient, for the ungodly and sinners, for the unholy and profane, for murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers, for manslayers,
First Peter 4:3 Let the time that is past suffice for doing what the Gentiles like to do, living in licentiousness, passions, drunkenness, revels, carousing, and lawless idolatry.
Second Peter 2:8 (for by what that righteous man saw and heard as he lived among them, he was vexed in his righteous soul day after day with their lawless deeds),
Second Peter 3:17 You therefore, beloved, knowing this beforehand, beware lest you be carried away with the error of lawless persons and lose your own stability.

Even Paul himself admits the vital necessity of knowing what all of what the Law is, as much as possible:

Romans 7:7 What then shall we say? That the Law is sin? By no means! Yet, if it had not been for Law, I should not have known sin. I should not have known what it is to covet if Law had not said, "You shall not covet."
Romans 7:8 But sin [not Law!], finding opportunity in the commandments, wrought in me all kinds of covetousness. Apart from Law sin lies dead.

So, he blamed "sin which dwells in him" and not himself for choosing to sin?

Pass the buck, like Adam did against Eve (and blamed God also in his excuse for Him creating Eve and Him giving her to him), and like Eve did against The Tempter (and thus, by inference, blaming the Creator who created the Tempter)?

The buck stopped with Jesus Christ, murdering by crucifixion on some cross nearly two millennia ago over in the Middle East (and who symbolically gets re-murdered each time someone virtually slaps Him in or spits into His face by sinning).

Thank God for The Ultimate Contingency Plan which the Creator had in mind for his human creatures predictably expected to screw themselves up by mishandling the Stumbling Blocks of the Tempter and Tree which God Himself had imposed in the allegedly "Perfect" Garden.

It is by that Plan, and trusting the Plan-Giver and His gracious Gospel, involving penitent and submissive faith ("beyond belief") in the benevolent Creator who the redeemed innately and essentially desire to please instead of infuriate, which absolves the sinner-by-duress who repeatedly falls into spam-like quasi-coerced deceived disobedience from all types of devious tempters . . . be they irresponsibly-misattired human females in wayward worldliness, having cultivated and consigned themselves within an anti-church-attendance and anti-Scriptural-education, satanic-media and demonic-styles, field of infidels flaunting out-of-place-and-non-authorized erotic public mopheadedness, naked arms with sleeveslessness, nude legs with slackslessness, and parts of bared feet with soxlessness . . . smokers arrogantly puffing their wayward and irreligious worldliness in the backs of business buildings during breaks . . . et cetera, ad nauseum.

The saving atonement and redemption as the gift of salvation from the Gospel-Giver does not apply to deliberately-defiant anti-Christian-doctrine deviates as mentioned in previous paragraphs. Indeed, such demented despicables would consider the perfectly-obedient goody-two-shoes holiness of Heaven indescribably obnoxious, not merely insidiously dissatisfying.

Basic attitudes toward God never change from Day One in a person's life. Manifestations of either being intrinsically "for" God (and His ways and His requirements) or instead "against" God (and everything related to the Trinitarian Holy Father) are increasingly evident as a person proceeds through life, and the Lord had given each person a sovereign free will which neither He will nor anyone can force one way or the other -- including Satan, who (according to Scripture-Text proof) is not Omniscient, nor Omnipotent, nor Omnipresent. The Devil knows not The Day nor the Hour which only the Father knows, and has not the foreknowledge of God as to knowing who will choose to continue to be for or against God, plus if then when that would happen. The ancient Serpent also is anything but all-powerful, being that the Bible records he was conquered and ousted out of Heaven and now forever unable to re-enter, which then also makes him anything but omnipresent.
