Re: Old Testament
Maybe someone should follow you around and point out when you repeat the same unsupported baloney.

He will work to convince you that the wrong you do is actually wrong (without revealing himself to be the source of the absolutedness of morals just yet - that would interfere with you free will to reject his attempt).
I am willing to accept Biblical support for your statement. Please provide something to support your assertion that God revealing himself in an irrefutable way causes us to lose our free will.
This is off-topic as is the rest of your statement so I will comment no further about that.
On-topic: I believe the hanging would be a travesty of justice. I also see this as a result of those in power protecting their buddies or the reputation of the security force. I certainly don't see it as caused by the dictates of the Koran. These are my first impressions and only opinion so I don't really have support for them. It just seems like the same-ol' same-ol'...those in power getting away with acts that they decry and "taking care" of those who protest.

It was supported by logical argument based on some fairly simple biblical principles. You might deal with the argument already given rather than evade by asking for another.
Indeed! I went back and reread your entire post yet failed to see where you supported your contention that God revealing himself to us would remove our free will. At least, I didn't see it there. Most of your post was about the use of disparate seeming coincidences by God to lead the unwitting sinner to Himself (seed-planting analogy, I believe). I also went back to one other place where I confronted you on that contention and did not see any supporting information there either.
I am willing to concede that I may have misconstrued your statement of a previously-proven fact as an unsupported assertion. Do you remember where it was that you supplied or read the Biblical support for the idea? If not, could you write down your best recollection of the supporting information as a reply to this post?
