@3:10 regardless of how corrupt human perceptions and beliefs became, it is in fact not cool to just suppose you are forgiven. Who are we to know? The attitude of true faith is to do ones utmost best and not even hope for forgiveness, it is not ours to give , only something to pray for.

[@Knaeben]

You missed the whole point of the nature of God vs. the will of God. We are natural, intimate aspects of the universe, a nature which partakes in the nature of God, and it's not possible to NOT be forgiven. If there is an echo of unforgiveness, it is of you not being willing to forgive yourself. This is projected onto a God who is seen, via Nominalism, as being "inside" the universe as a thing among other things.

​​@@Knaebenthe teacher here says that Nominalist's claimed we can only know Gods will. They focused on God being distant and not close. He is more mysterious.

Your warnings seem to be a rejection of the pursuit of happiness. To me that natural human right is entailed in stoic philosophy. Pursuing happiness will lead to the evolution of virtue, especially when we encounter obstacles.
