Is there a bigger loophole

I recommend an episode of Futurama called "Godfellas".

Yes, I saw... you were doing well until everyone died.

In human history than "God works in mysterious ways"?

That's a man made saying not anything based off of Scripture. I do like the U2 song though.

"Does this dress make my arse look fat?"

I answer honestly. My wife has a great arse, but if she puts on a few pounds I'm not pretending like she didn't.

If she doesn't want me saying she looks fat, then don't look fat.

It's a religious explanation for anything we don't understand.
From my perspective, there are basically 2 beliefs regarding existence: destiny and chance which I don't see as mutually exclusive.

The mysterious ways crowd see God as totally in control so for instance when a seemingly good person reaches an untimely end, it's mysterious because we can't explain it but it must be part of God's plan.

I'm more of the school of stuff just happens based on often complex circumstances.
I'm not sure God has personality as we think of it.
God might simply be the collective of existence/matter/energy which must exist by definition (has always been) in order for the universe(s) to exist.
The Big Bang Theory seems pretty plausible through a perpetual state of contraction via Gravity and expansion due to explosive heat.

God is the highest level of consciousness, of which you are a lower level of. Without God, there would be no reality, you would experience and understand nothing. Just a machine of action and reaction like an AI or a robot. This part of god within you is referred to as your soul.

You will not find God "out there". It's like trying to find Leonardo in the Mona Lisa, or Bill Gates and Microsoft engineers in your Windows OS. It's kind of silly trying to find the creator in the creation. God is found within.

This is what Jesus refers to as the "father/son" relationship. And the gap that brings this understanding is known as the holy spirit. However, it does not go by that name, or any name. Labels are just what humans need to communicate. It does not give as humans do, it's just pure understanding.

So when Jesus says "That which is spirit is spirit and that which is flesh is flesh", that's what he is referring to. Ever play a video game? What happens? Your consciousness is entering another "universe". Do you become your character in that game? No, your consciousness is still separate. You're aware of your other reality in the game, but imagine if you didn't. Now you see life as we know it. Do you die every time your character in game does? No. In a similar manner there are 2 deaths for humans as well. We have the death of the flesh, of which we will all go through, but then there is also the death of the soul. And that's a whole other ball game.

If you are able to make that connection, then you will see the God within. And when you understand that it's also within everyone else, then the commandments and why they are all sins against God will become crystal clear.

For the record I am not a "Christian". But I can also explain the way, the light and the path if you'd like and what it means. Because unlike what Christians will tell you, it's not just believing in an idol and hoping it's going to come pick you up like a taxi cab. There is no such thing as Taxi Cab Jesus. The only thing that is saved by the death of truth is the lie, and the lie will live until the truth returns.

All of society is built to hide these truths from you.
