We are being brought to a precipice to which we'll either retreat from, or cascade over....

My opinion, the Q/Trump plan is a part or subset of God's plan, which has been running since before the creation of heaven and earth. The real plan is to bring mankind to understand that we need God more than we think we do, that He is the only way and all our thoughts are futile, but each one has to come to that conviction for themselves. The wonderful thing is that God not needing us, never the less graciously allows us to participate in the working out of His plan.
Hmmm. interesting...
I agree.
That's a big part of it. In my view, the plan is to restore the separation from God that occurred due to the faithlessness of Adam and Eve in the Garden. (Instead of believing in God's commandment, they believed in the devil's word, and united with it, causing separation from God.)
I don't agree that "our thoughts are futile". That would only be the case if we are NOT our father's children. God being the only way is because human beings are not designed or created to exist apart from God, but rather, to live, breath and function in total unity with God.
We can only get to the unity by recognizing that God is the center, the subject OUR true center.
Does God need us? Most certainly. Why? Because love is the one thing that cannot be experienced purely alone. There must be an object of love, that (person, being, thing, creature) which you love.
God created us to be his objects of love, so that he could fully and completely experience his own perfect love, but through his children. For this to happen, we have to resonate with God 100% and be united with him.
Can you imagine a marriage where the spouse doesn't actually need you, but only lets you hang around to let you feel 'needed'? Or who doesn't actually love you, but let's you stay there so that you feel 'loved'?
The grace of God is that even though we became refuse, human garbage, worse than useless, he is determined to restore us to our original position and status as useful, as pure, as his original children.
Because we voluntarily separated (in/via Adam and Eve) from God through believing in a lie instead of his truth, we lost our original value. But God is determined to restore us to that original value, and he sacrifices, serves and loves us in order to do it.
Fully agree. This is key. Because just as Adam and Eve left God by choosing to believe in the lie, to reverse that, each of us, individually, must also choose to do the opposite: to believe in the Truth (God's truth) and reject the lie.
Agreed. Hallelujah!!
