Seems to me that God needs people to enforce His laws because He is unable to.

Can't brain. Has dumb.
God needs to experience Godself to know it as what it really is - the only way to really do that is to be able to compare it to experiencing the absence of Godself... so... God needs to experience being what it isn't.

Of course He is. He is also able to adminster judgement for the breaking of the His law. Now if god enforced His law by forcing man to obey them then where would He exhibit His grace and mercy? what He does offer is redemption for the lawless.

Why do tou assume that God needs to do what you need to do? that would make you no different than Him.

And yet here we have all manner of Gods followers forcing His "laws" down everyones throat.
So perhaps you are right.
It isn't God that needs followers to shove his rules down the throats of everyone.
Perhaps it is His followers taking it upon themselves.

For once I agree with you.

A need and a desire are not the same thing.

Am I not made in It's image?
Besides - if (before the universe and everything) all there is, is God - there's no way for Godself to know what it's like to be not God

This one is much more intriguing
"And thou shalt have a paddle upon thy weapon; and it shall be, when thou wiltease thyself abroad, thou shalt dig therewith, and shalt turn back and cover that which cometh from thee..." Duet. 23:13

your qoute.

is it enforce today?

as a mater of fact, it is.
According to my niece, who just moved up here from there two weeks ago, it is in fact enforced in a small little town just north east of Dallas, Texas.
In fact, that was ONE of the reasons she moved up here.
However, I suspect that that is not the point you were looking to get across.
Perhaps you could read the whole thread and see if perhaps post #11 covers it?
