That is not only a poor metaphor, it is an illustration of the truth that you are either an infant in Christ or not at all. And if not at all you are terribly confused. You have already been given the Timothy passage that illustrates the truth of your need for study. And sir, if you will bend your will to submit to the will of God and if you, then, read the entire book through with prayer and meditate on what you have read, you will hunger for the Living Word and every time you read it again, God will show you new truths from the very same passages.
The "idea" that God, the Creator is less than complete or less than perfect or the idea God ever was less is man made foolishness and is a case of making God into the Image of Mortal and Fallible Mankind.
All of these things you are speaking to me scream Caution! The only good in all of this is the truth that if God, not one of the gods of the world, but if God has begun a good work in you, it is very, very, possible He is using Bill Taylor as one of the tools He will use to complete His work in you.
The truth, the absolute truth is that, with God there is no beginning and there is no end. Neither has God ever been anything other than Perfect. You have tried to give me a lesson in Mathematical Folding but the truth, found only in the Holy Bible, is nothing on nor in this Earth, Solar System nor in any of the Universes can be used to explain God. God created all of this for the benefit and use of Man. None of this is anything more and while God is here, with us, God is not bound to this Time/Space Continuum the way the Hindu, Buddhist and the other gods, again with the lessor g, but He is not bound by anything and the words you publish here are not the words of a Wise Man.
Praying God will bless you.
if God was so perfect(powerful/mighty) that absolutely everything were possible for Him, then why were there so many suffering people in this world (under sin) for so many years (these are already several millennia)?!, why hasn't He removed the sin and the death for all these millennia, but they were admitted to enter into the world and (to) cause a lot of problems/troubles to many?!, and why did Solomon say:
Ecclesiastes 10:5-20 "There is an evil which I have seen under the sun, as an error which proceedeth from the ruler: Folly is set in great dignity, and the rich sit in low place. I have seen servants upon horses, and princes walking as servants upon the earth. He that diggeth a pit shall fall into it; and whoso breaketh an hedge, a serpent shall bite him. Whoso removeth stones shall be hurt therewith; and he that cleaveth wood shall be endangered thereby. If the iron be blunt, and he do not whet the edge, then must he put to more strength: but wisdom is profitable to direct. Surely the serpent will bite without enchantment; and a babbler is no better. The words of a wise man's mouth are gracious; but the lips of a fool will swallow up himself. The beginning of the words of his mouth is foolishness: and the end of his talk is mischievous madness. A fool also is full of words: a man cannot tell what shall be; and what shall be after him, who can tell him? The labour of the foolish wearieth every one of them, because he knoweth not how to go to the city. Woe to thee, O land, when thy king is a child, and thy princes eat in the morning! Blessed art thou, O land, when thy king is the son of nobles, and thy princes eat in due season, for strength, and not for drunkenness! By much slothfulness the building decayeth; and through idleness of the hands the house droppeth through. A feast is made for laughter, and wine maketh merry: but money answereth all things. Curse not the king, no not in thy thought; and curse not the rich in thy bedchamber: for a bird of the air shall carry the voice, and that which hath wings shall tell the matter."
?!, as it is also evident from this passage, there is some period of sleepiness for the true God, because He is really all-powerful and almighty to do/make every good thing within the framework of the eternity, but when being in a state of sleepiness during the first centuries of the eternity He is not fully able to save all human and other besouled beings of the world completely and permanently from the evil, except e.g. some true believers exercise faith in Him right(ly) praying to Him from the heart for overall salvation, because the show of pure love for the neighbor and the right exercise of faith wake Him (up), here is how for example there were many people in former israel suffering from all sorts of evil, and there was no even one to save them completely and permanently until the coming of the Lord, Jesus Christ, Who did it just by praying to His Heavenly Father, the true God, not that there were no many worshipers in israel who also prayed to God for better things including as many people as possible in their prayers, but their faith wasn't right enough, also because it was after human(imperfect/unclean) traditions/doctrines/commandments
so, you are right about the fact that the believers should believe that the true Lord God is above all without doubting, but there is also an eternal judgment, as well as a doctrine about it in Christ on which all the Holy Law, Word and Scripture of God and Christ is based, and therefore should be considered in the judgment for the things in the faith, otherwise neither will the understanding/interpretation of the Scripture be right/absolutely correct, because it is based on that doctrine (of eternal judgment) including all word of the Lord Jesus Christ that He ever said
