And the devil has you resenting God- just where he wants you.

I do not "resent" God,please do not misread me..I think we need to allow God to be God...next time you clean your hair brush look at the hairs on it..God knows how many more you have left..Do you think God's arm is too short to have stopped the terrior if He chose?

No resentment here...God is God

So your god plans every jot and tittle - past, present and future - and everything from pulling hairs out of the heads of balding middle-aged guys to hurling burning people out of 90 story office towers is part and parcel of his jolly old plan. And Free will? That's just tripe for the masses who don't realize that every event, action and reaction is already set in stone by our loving (if capricious and bloodthirsty) god. Sorry, this sounds like baldersash to me.

Do you think God's arm is too short to have stopped the terrior if He chose?

If he can do as he pleases, if he can extend his mercy to us unilaterally, why then does he first seek a man to pray for the nation under judgement? Obviously, he cannot just act unilaterally, for if he could, the devil would be able to call him on it and accuse God of breaking his own laws of interfering with the plans and intentions of man on the earth. Remember, we are free will individuals.
