You have a messed up idea of what God’s “involvement” means. It does not mean he controls us like puppets. He does give us free will, but that does not mean he is hands off. That is a Deist viewpoint…in fact, it is the very definition of Deism.
He has in the past. He sent His Son, for one thing. He created Eve. Lots of control.
Rich I believe you are placing human limitations on God; this is the failings of trying to intellectually “know” God. We do not have the intellect to understand God. God is bound by nothing. I would also bet that He could make a square circle, He is God, He created all shapes. Feel like I am replacing Big Bird!!!But, He is bound by some things. He cannot make a square circle, e.g.
And, He cannot change His perfect, omniscient mind. If He changed His mind, that would mean that His original decision was less than perfect, making Him less than perfect. You have some priest friends, Christine. Run that by them. They’ll agree that perfection can’t be modified.
You don’t know what I believe. I’m not going to dignify your theological accusations with my views.
Were you in Gryffindor or Slitheren?
Yes, God “allows,” but doesn’t always direct.
I do find it useful myself and do pray. I say the Rosary several times a week. But, I don’t see prayer necessarily as others do. I don’t ever ask God to change His mind because that is impossible. His perfection means that what He wills and does is always perfect, and therefore immutable.
Sounds like a cabinet meeting.For those clinging to a shred of “hope” in Obama: Do you know that Justice Dept. documents reveal a surge of non-competitive bid jobs available to dwarfs, schizophrenics, and those with “severe intellectual disabilities”.
Why, one may ask? Because if Obama loses, he knows that anyone hired under the Americans with Disabilities Act may not be fired. So, he is putting in place as many career appointees as possible to undermine a new administration. Can you say “lawless fiends”, boys and girls? They’ve thought of EVERYTHING to undermine our great country!
I wish Fast and Furious, Benghazi, the closing of US oil rigs while subsidizing Mexico’s and Brazil’s, and endless other abuses of power were jokes. When you think you’ve seen everything the scurrilous leftists could possibly do, there’s something else even worse. Don’t believe it? pjmedia.com/tatler/2012/08/21/justice-department-recruits-dwarfs/ Rob P.S. NO, it ain’t “over”, to answer your question.Seems they may have moved in with a lady named, ‘Snow White’.
Seriously, do you think he’s conceding the election now?
People have chosen so many ‘biased’ stories, that cannot be classified as news with a straight face, just as long as it reflected poorly on the other candidate. For me, it just takes away any credibility that may have existed. I am not totally stupid and think all people should be offended at some of the things that have been passed off as ‘news’.
Harry Potter, they all wore the robes too. Just made me picture it.That’s an airplane comment - it flew right over my head.
To what do those words refer?
That was my immediate thought, as well.There are some limitations on God. He cannot save the Devil, e.g. He is bound by His own rules. No, he could not square a circle else it would not be a square nor a circle.
EXACTLY! God is not the actor, men are the actors when hearts are being changed. We are NOT Muslims who believe that all is the (positive) will of God. We can reject even the plainest truth.
Precisely!
And God will not stop you from being good or evil. Yes!
No, I do not believe it. Your first post stated it was for the intention of undermining a new administration. This would be a concession of the election. Note the dates of those biased, conspiracy, ‘articles’; August 22, 2012. That means he was out to undermine a new administration before the first debate even.
Thanks. Never read the books nor seen the movies.
My sincere apology for offending you.
Senting the Christ is not control. What would He have been controlling? He created Eve, He didn’t create her and then think, “Hmmm. I can do better. I’ll create another similar creature.”
Those did not involve God changing His own mind. Curing the blind and the deaf involve that outside God, not Himself. Keep in mind that whatever the miracle was, it did not involve the reversal of something God Himself did.
No PS1, what happened only illustrates that the ruthless Obama goons put a plan in place to undermine Mitt Romney, should he win. Nothing about conceding all that power. If you think that the left would ever concede one inch of power, let alone the entire Executive Branch, you are misguided. Maybe you have a better explanation for what happened at “Justice”. But maybe you, like Holder, also believe that the Black Panthers were only standing at polling places with weapons in 2008 to guide confused people to the voting machines, and NOT to intimidate!
They are all signs of God intervening in nature. That’s the point. Eve wasn’t born naturally; she was created. Christ was not born - He was sent to us from heaven. Miracles that are verified are proof of divine intervention as far as the Church is concerned.
Did you hear Bush was behind the 9/11 attacks?No PS1, what happened only illustrates that the ruthless Obama goons put a plan in place to undermine Mitt Romney, should he win. Nothing about conceding all that power. If you think that the left would ever concede one inch of power, let alone the entire Executive Branch, you are misguided.

Sometimes I wonder why we argue, we are almost saying the same exact thing, and we argue. Silly. However, we’ll have to agree to disagree on the shapes, God can change what ever He chooses and call it whatever He wants.
