mike182, mike182, now that sounds familiar ......... :biglaugh:Abram said:Mike182 did a thread on "if you were in control" that I enjoyed to read.
ok, so miracles are not gonna have a lasting affect, and i can't infringe on free will! ok, so what other options do i have, well, i could do nothing! let them figure things out for themselves. i might throw a few appostles in now and again, just for a laugh, but id mainly leave them too it.But what if you were the God of this planet?
How do you convince a world you exist?
You can't affect free will and every time you do miracles they forget in just a few generations.
What kind of example would I be giving if I just rewarded infidels who try to murder my messengers? If one is fool enough to challenge God's people then consequences are in order or in shorter terms, "you have to break a few eggs to make an omlet".MdmSzdWhtGuy said:Why smite? Why not just make their enemies all of a sudden be nice people? Then nobody gets smote, and everybody is happy? What would be wrong with that?

Precisely the response I would expect from a follower of the God of peace and tolerance. Keep up with the persecution of the infidels, this is the message of peace that all should bow to.Muhhamad Abdul Salam said:What kind of example would I be giving if I just rewarded infidels who try to murder my messengers?

I don't think I'd even try to convince them, unless I was bound by a higher law.Abram said:Mike182 did a thread on "if you were in control" that I enjoyed to read.

Surely you could say that for any action? Why does this action affect a person's free will any more than letting them find out on their own does?You can not convince a world you exist without affecting freewill.By knowing you are there for sure affects peoples overall life , thoughts , emotions , actions , because they know , if they know they do not act with complete free will! Part of free will is finding out for yourself.
Because, in this case, you are negating the need for Faith.Fluffy said:Surely you could say that for any action? Why does this action affect a person's free will any more than letting them find out on their own does?
