Which is exactly why I think the general Christian concept of God makes no sense whatsoever. If he's determined to destroy "wicked ones", why doesn't he? Is he not all powerful? Why would an all-powerful being have to "plead" with anything? In fact, why would an all-powerful being even WANT anything to begin with? If God knows everything and is all-powerful, then how can anything NOT be a part of God's plan?He certainly knows the consequences of what will happen, yes.
That is why he pleads with mankind not to behave in certain ways. Our bad conduct is not part of his plan....that is seen by the fact that he says whoever is acting wickedly will come to their finish. Prov 2:22 As regards the wicked, they will be cut off from the very earth; and as for the treacherous, they will be torn away from it.
If it was his 'plan' that people act wickedly, then why is he determined to destroy such wicked ones? Even his adversary the Devil is soon to be destroyed. Obviously they are not part of his plan.
I'm sorry, but the concept of a benevolent, omnipotent, omnipresent God just doesn't make any kind of sense whatsoever.
