God's intention has always been for His work to be new and alive, not old and dead, and what He has man adhere to varies with the age and period, and is not everlasting and immutable. This is because He's a God who causes man to live and be new, rather than a devil who causes man to die and be old. Do you still not understand this? You have notions about God and are incapable of letting go of them because you're close-minded. It's not because there is too little sense within God's work, nor is it because His work is inconsiderate toward man's feelings, and less still is it because God's always negligent in His duties. You cannot let go of your notions because you're too lacking in submission, and because you have not the slightest likeness of a created being; it's not because God is making things difficult for you. You caused all of this, and it bears no relation at all to God; all suffering and misfortune is created by man.

God's thoughts are always good: He does not wish to cause you to produce notions, but wishes for you to change and be renewed as the ages pass. Yet you do not know what is good for you, and are always either scrutinizing or analyzing. It's not that God is making things difficult for you, but that you lack a heart of fear for God, and your rebelliousness is too great. A tiny created being, daring to take some trivial part of that which was previously given by God, then turning around and using it to attack God—is this not the rebellion of man? It's fair to say that humans are utterly unqualified to express their views before God, and less still are they qualified to parade around their worthless, stinking, rotten, flowery language as they wish—to say nothing of those moldy notions. Are they not even more worthless?
