Quite a lot of theological assumptions in there! But it's fairly
obvious that I can give you a message; quite why a God should not be
able to do the same is not clear to me.

Not in any meaningful sense. But I sense a perfect storm of strawmen
about to be deployed. The question that we should ask, surely, is why
our masters want our minds to be populated with some many excuses as
to why "Do not steal, do not commit adultery, do not lie" is not
binding. While they keep our minds off this question, and while we
internalise what they feed us, we are unlikely to reach *any* valid
conclusions. Surely?
All the best,
