You see I think that the bigger truths that will save mankind other than the fact that Jesus died for our sins, but what I believe is that God gave us half-truths because they are better than no truth. I have a dream that I could be transported somewhere where I could interact with a continuum concept computer (That is a sphere of spheres) that would feed me and give me tools. The biggest reason is that in spite of the 12 steps very few people have gotten rid of all of their addictions and that coffee and cigarettes torment me. I would like to be able to plant a tree of life (or recovery) and work on it myself. I know there are people who could help me with this but I have no way of contacting them I hope that some force can help me with this. there is a lightning storm who knows I might be struck on my way home.

while it is true that GOD gave man only a minute amount of truths (this does not mean half truths, but our brains cannot comprehend bigger truths than what HE reveals to us...and the theory that GOD could have given man full use of his brain is ridiculous...man is inherently evil, what he has done with only ten percent of his brain would only be magnified 90 percent, because man would not become better with full use of his brain, but worse...why did GOD give us such a large brain and then only give us ten percent? there are those who do get to use a bit more...and GOD gives more use of it to HIS children as HE reveals HIS knowledge and mysteries to them.) to mankind, the rest of your theory is not supported by the KJV bible. GOD is complete and completely capable of giving strength to those who obey HIM, and HE is completely able to help them overcome....everything in time...the thing is this...remember that JESUS said that it isnt what you consume that blackens the soul, but what comes out of you because what comes out of you comes from your heart, if you still do the things GOD speaks against, and dont make the effort to overcome them...then they are still in you to do them...if you are, every day, struggling to obey GODS will and law, and you want to avoid sinning...then when you slip, you repent immediately, and are forgiven, and continue to work at overcoming. what is coffee? where in the bible does it say that coffee is a sin? does coffee come between GOD and your worship of HIM? ie...do you choose to drink your coffee rather than read your bible or pray or...get the idea? and ciggarettes, while they do physically blacken the lungs, they do not spiritually blacken the soul. my mom also struggles with this one. she asks GOD that if HE wills her to stop smoking, and it is sinfull and coming between HIM and her worship of HIM, then please take it from her, because she knows she hasnt the will nor the strength to overcome this one on her own. so far, GOD has NOT seen fit to take it from her, in fact, everytime she has run short, through NO EFFORT of her own, tobacco has come to her. she believes that if and when GOD feels it is important to her salvation to quit, HE will help her to do so. she has the desire, but not the strength...remember the apostles in the garden of gesthemene, when JESUS asked them to pray with HIM? each time HE came upon them, they were alseep...rather than be angry with them, HE understood the problem...HE said this about it; the spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak. when you drink your coffee and smoke a ciggarette, each time, thank GOD for it, and ask GOD to bless it and to protect you from the harmful effects of it. remember to stick to the teachings of the KJV bible, and not mans interpretation thereof...man only confuses what GOD makes clear.

Jesus said that he is the truth. Do you not want to hear about Jesus anymore? You believe that there is hope for all mankind, but there are many who don't want anything to do with the hope of man. There are people who have plans coming to fruition who will take control of all who are against the hope of man, which is to say, their control of mankind. They see themselves as the hope of mankind. And if there was no God then they might be, because without something, some power to keep man from annihlating himself that's just what he's going to do. But Almighty God is the one true and living God and he sees what is going on here and in a moment, as a thief in the night, he's going to come to judge the wicked and to gather those who know and love his name to himself, and create a new heavens and a new earth wherein dwelleth righteousness.

I will warn you that if you seek higher truths, you might find them. And you might not like them. Some might be hard to accept or even painful to know. I say this because I see you are taking a rather religious perspective on this one. But the sort of bigger truths you are looking for often go beyond religion. They may even lead you to question yours. There is nothing wrong with that, but it might make you uncomfortable.

That's kind of a glass-half-full outlook.
