You're arguing against something which s not claimed in the quote you provided. Agreed You couldn't be more wrong about this. Nothing is secondary with God. Couldn't agree more Baloney. God loves beings that do not share and express it. There was justice because God is just. Ditto mercy...

How are 2 separate verses an outline for a method?

Nice straw man. Neither do I.

UPDATE: I found the movie on Youtube: (I've saw it when it was new 8 years ago. It's a good watch. It won secular awards.)

Is there something deeper than what these sparse 3 words say?
