I don't see that idea represented or addressed in either video. Are you referencing the idea that God took a back seat to Satan's rule or human rule? I'm still not entirely sure which one of these you actually think is going on, because you seem to waffle every other sentence.
I just watched it again, to be sure.
Sorry. It was left out of this video, but it's written.
Remember the part of the video, where the narrator said, "the teacher has the authority to reprimand the student, but what effect would that have on the other students"?
That's compared to God having the power to destroy the rebels, but what effect would that have on the other angels. It would not settle the issues raised.
Besides - I was referencing your own words when I stated that God practices, or takes advantage in a "might makes right" capacity. You are the one to be found stating that God can do as He wishes with human lives because He created those lives. This is you stating that it is okay for God to do anything because He has the power to do so. If I suddenly discovered how to create autonomous life-forms that could live/eat breathe/love/etc., do you think you would agree with my doing anything and everything I wanted with them? Would you be okay with that, if you generally disagreed with how I was treating them - perhaps allowing them to enslave one another, perhaps killing their first born at times, perhaps telling one group of them that it is okay if they want to run in and invade another group and kill who they will and take the females for themselves? All that sound cool to you, as long as I created the life forms?
You got "God can do as He wishes with human lives because He created those lives" from my responding to your question "By what authority does He have this "right" - the right to set the standards of right and wrong and the right to execute justice upon those who disregard those standards?" with "By what authority does God have this "right"?
He gave life to those living.
As the source of life, he has that authority."
Wow. Just WOW.
You know what it looks like to me. It looks like you are pinning other people's words, whom you talk to, on me.
Why are you doing that?
And you stating this just after you said "Might doesn't make right." Do you understand why I believe you to be entirely inconsistent? I mean... you are so inconsistent it is scary. I would question anything at all that you told me or that you stated you believed. You could say you were pro-choice for some reason, and I would suddenly find myself wondering if I shouldn't be pro-choice! That is just how much I am coming to distrust your opinion. You likely couldn't stay consistent with this stuff to save you life. You're already too far gone.
You asked about authority to set laws and implement them.
I answered based on your question. Not based on what's in your mind.
If you then take it and apply it to the use of power, I would not say that is me being inconsistent.
If you want to know if God has the right to exercise his power, you can ask.
Does he?
Certainly. He is God almighty.
Does he use his power to carry out his justice. Of course.
That is not showing that might makes right. Rather, it is using his might to do what's right.
You can tell the difference, I hope.
For example...
(2 Thessalonians 1:6, 7) This takes into account that
it is righteous on God’s part to repay tribulation to those who make tribulation for you. But
you who suffer tribulation will be given relief along with us at the revelation of the Lord Jesus from heaven with his powerful angels
It is right to bring relief to those who are being treated unjustly.
To carry out that justice, the strong arm of the law -
might - is used.
The rulers have the
authority,
not because of their might, but because as rulers,
they have the authority to draft the laws, maintain, and enforce them.
They use their might to carry out action against those who break those laws.
That was exhausting.
You don't get it? I tried.
