Question: Can you please strongly confirm all these answers and that my understanding is correct?

God’s answer:

Attagirl

Meaning: Now, I was taking the right approach when talking to Him.

Moral of this story:

Question: Why do you do this to me? Why do you say things knowing I will understand it in a certain way when it’s not what you mean? Often, you don’t correct me. I only know it’s wrong when you answer a related question and it contradicts what you said before?

God’s answer:

To keep you on your toes.

Meaning: to keep you alert and vigilant.

Question: What do you mean?

God’s answer:

Don’t jump to conclusions

Question: I don’t understand the relationship between keeping me on my toes and not jumping to conclusions?

God’s answer:

When you think you know, you no longer pay attention. You stop asking.

Don’t assume you understand what I am saying. Fools don’t inquire.

Question: And, am I asking now?

God’s answer:

You seek clarification. You make sure.

Question: How does deliberately confusing me keep me on my toes and prevent me from jumping to conclusions?

God’s answer:

I blindside you. You do a double-take.

Meaning of blindside: Here God’s use blindside to mean he hits me on areas where I blinded myself into thinking I know the truth (what he means) by giving me contradictory answers that throws me for a loop (to confuse or surprise someone²²).

Meaning of double take. a rapid or surprised second look, either literal or figurative, at a person or situation whose significance had not been completely grasped at first²³

This double take also pertains to how God will all of a sudden use a word or phrase that he said in prior chapters, to “keep you on your toes”

Question: Do you want me to include this conversation in the book? If so why?

God’s answer:

To teach them not to make the same mistake.
