I think that doesn't make sense because I don't think God would stall your car to prevent you meeting a drunk driver. Expecting God to do things like that is like expecting a kid to micromanage his ant farm. God let's us live and die by our consequences. He doesn't take or save lives. Expecting that he would I think is naive. Thinking he helps some and not others doesn't make much sense to me either.
If you take the whole bible as what it claims to be, it reads that God created man, raised man and now man is a rebellious young adult. The bible shows that he used to reward good behaviour and punish bad. Since Jesus, he's been very hands off about everything and let man find his own way.

Unfortunately, that led here.

so it seems that you, habs, and myself are pretty much in agreement that the original post is not how god works.

It's the arrogance and attention seeking I have problems with. Although, apparently calling someone on their attention seeking is also a form of attention seeking. Makes no sense to me, but certain people are apparently allowed to change the meanings of words to fit their own ideas. Whoops, different thread.

I'm not sure. If he was telling me that he saved me from something and not another person in the same situation that may be asked with some snarkiness. I guess it depends if you feel like he's going to punish you in the moment. Hard to say, but get your point.

I guess we aren't in agreement about the severity of his post. I understand you posting about your dislike of his tone of the post, but I'm not sure it warrants pages of discussion. Although I do understand that it just morphs into that.

no matter what tone you use, the questions Habs poses in his post seem perfectly to me.

I thought they were arrogant and immature, frankly. I also think the same of his ranting accusations and insults since. But whatever, I'm over it. I just hope he is too.

Guess not.

the facts are if God showed Himself to anyone, that person would not be anything but humbled and some would be scared. it is easy to talk smack about it till it happens.

The best part is, He will never reveal Himself to you. why? because you would lose freewill, you would lose out on being human, you would ignore important things like science and math, your existence would no longer matter, and that is not why we are here.
