Thank you so much for pursuing your desire to vindicate the character of Father God and His Holy Son! I’m so glad Father god and Jesus proved to the angelic and human world that God never fights evil with evil -but he conquers evil with extreme goodness, love and mercy at Calvary!!!!
Excellent discourse! So many preachers take a minimalist and shallow approach to the hardest questions that so many people have and often never utter because they may sound heretical. They are not. The "Who's Who" in the Bible struggled, often indignantly, with deep questions and doubt. It's fabulous to plow head on INTO hard questions, matching your questions with your quest. I applaud you. The church needs this.
How do you square God "hardening the heart" of Pharaoh? Or blinding the Israelites to come to an awareness. I'm not a Bible Scholar so can't quote the verse….but hopefully you will know to which I refer?
If God would intervene to stop a tornado or prevent a plane crash by whatever means He chooses it would be inconsistent with the statement that Christ made concerning "time and chance", which He says happens to all men. It is possible that God would be bound by precedent to intervene in ALL such incident/accidents in order to be a God of equity. The only exceptions would be when someone who is a part of God's household (a son of God) is the recipient of that mercy or those accompanying that person. I can think of Paul when He was shipwrecked.
How’s it going
