Re: If God Ever Stopped Intervening In Nature....
I don't think I have previously been confronted with the idea that every breath we take requires god's involvement
So every time I hold my breath I'm successfully opposing god's actions? Behold my awesome power!

It's not enough to bash in heads, you've got to bash in minds
soon I discovered that this rock thing was true
Jerry Lee Lewis was the devil
Jesus was an architect previous to his career as a prophet
All of a sudden i found myself in love with the world
And so there was only one thing I could do
Was ding a ding dang my dang along ling long - Jesus Built my Hotrod Ministry
Live every week like it's Shark Week! - Tracey Jordan
Just a monkey in a long line of kings. - Matthew Good
If "elitist" just means "not the dumbest motherfucker in the room", I'll be an elitist! - Get Your War On

Re: If God Ever Stopped Intervening In Nature....
So yes God does act in and control each life.
God controlling each life eliminates that whole "free will" thing.

Re: If God Ever Stopped Intervening In Nature....
That is an interesting point. Could it be that we can reject God's will by the use of our free will?
Kind of makes him pretty weak if us mere mortals can override his will.

Giving them the free will to accept him or to reject him.
Which is it then? do we have free will or does god control each life as you previously claimed?
