Where's the Beef?

People believe they have a beef against God. They read (or are told) the verses of "God's Judgment" as though it were something God chooses and is eagerly waiting for. Prophecy is what Holy persons of God saw, and if they warned and foresaw crash and calamity, it doesn't mean God does it. Ancient man may even have understood it in that way, not always understanding a bigger, fuller picture. Even Israel came out of man's seeing all natural forces as 'gods'. But God, not only creator and designer, but the life force itself, lives through all sufferings and wars which ever occur. They are the results and consequences of all the choices mankind makes. Could He give thinking ability and its partner the ability to choose, and then not let it be exercised? This life is an unavoidable journey and lesson! If there's to be rational creatures that is! Since God Himself opened this Pandora's box, he built the rescue from imPerfection and death (fading away) right into all things "from the foundation" (beginning) "of the world", which we likely underestimate..
