They are pulled further away from their spiritual truth God wants his children to come home to him, to turn away from the evil lurk of Satan and his henchmen. If he could find a child or children who were willing to write a book about a conversation between God and humanity explaining the truth of his love, it probably would be similar to the following dialogue. Humanity starts the conversation and God explaining his perspectives of why what he does to teach his children, because he loves all of his children. No matter what awful transgressions they have or will commit in the past, present and the future, from murder, adultery, lying, stealing and deceiving others. No trangression is not forgivable.
