Oh, god themselves told you all this? Then by all means keep depriving yourself. Hopefully god can show up to me someday and explain for me too. Until then I’ll just have to continue to rely on my common sense. Shame I’ve been alive almost 40 years and that omnipotent being hasn’t gotten around to laying out the rules for me.
What exactly am I ignoring? I’d love an external force to just tell me what to do but nothing has appeared so far. Other than a bunch of church types making demands of me with nothing substantial to back their claims of what’s right and wrong.
What if God became a man and lived among us. But performed miracles in the presence of witnesses who wrote that stuff down. He’d live a perfect life without sin, yet as a man He can bear the punishment for our sin so we can be forgiven, so He could be perfectly merciful but also perfectly just.

What would you expect?
I would expect you to be able to tell me what “is in plain sight” that I am apparently ignoring as you claimed. It’s a simple question.
