Reply to Part 2. Not Realizing Truth...
I think to say we live by faith (of something unseen) is a lie.
Faith in sincerity is... That I will have a job when I go to work,
...That the sun will rise tomorrow.
Your concept of faith is thus a mixed bag of your own continuity
as above mixed with a whopping lump of imagination (that you are saved,
etc. etc.). This mechanism has evolved in humans as a way of ensuring day to day sanity. (more-like insanity). Here religion is used as a way of transferring
the responsibility to self analyse the reflective self which is painful and difficult for most unaware of the above. - Religion relieving and removing the responsibility of the self to arrive at a reasonable cosmology. The individual free to continue scott free without having to face actuality... in a form of limited consciousness...not fully awake.

With due respect to your age, the truths you cite are all imagination...
Instead these are attributes and intent of a creator you have never met personally. They have not been perceived by You of the natural world
and remain as concepts that have been explained or shown to you by others. They represent the collective view of the concept of God.
Fact is that individuals sharing a collective view gain evolutionary advantage for mating etc. as well as a psychological advantage.
The tribal instinct to belong to belong socially is very strong.
So we see that faith is not imagination.
Faith is not the unseen. Faith is self knowledge that is generated internally, NOT possibly properly generated by accepting anyone else's collective or individual view. We either face or do not face our responsibility to think for ourself. The fact (truth) is... You have no idea of the intent of the creator.
and there can be only one truth in this matter)
Christians/Muslim will tell us in great depth and detail about God,
yet they have no idea, (even as a collective) about Who or what they are.
As a modern mystic and ex scientist, I profess to know much about the workings and make up of myself (and you), but know very little about God.
Someone here is cheating about knowing God.

Hey Ron,
Greetings from New Zealand.
My answer to this blog in 3 parts.
Happy to discuss.
About this post... albeit 139 weeks later

Part1. Living by the Law.
As you say the law sets believers up for failure.
And in short this a major reasons why they are unhappy.
Because people are not living their belief.
And they have done a deal where they must live with this lie until
they die. (Since they cannot give up their belief.) While the superficial
ego can be forever fooled, our spirit agency cannot be fooled and the
conflict soon causes unrest in the believers' mind and physical illness.

Only death can separate the believer from the belief, yet the life is in
conflict with the belief...recipe for disaster and a epic of acting and
deception.

Any mystic or person who has an idea of their own identity and
makeup will tell you the concept of sin is false and this is reinforced
by evolution and discursive psychology.

Sin is absent in our true cosmology which has been determined by the
Big Bang. Christian cosmology is ridiculous and based on judgement,
and good vs evil. Sin has no precursor in evolution and everything
real in the animal world has an evolutionary antecedent.

Sin is man made and the Law(word) is its source. Please do not
confuse our conscience as a sin detector. Our conscience is different to
the laws of Word, and correspond to bioethics.
Gen 1 Verse 0 In the very beginning, the word made God.

Do You really think God evolved perfect systems and lower
organisms only to produce an imperfect specimen?
If you believe that, you would believe anything!
