You're assuming. You're taking things out of context. You're distorting given information to fit your arguement.


Good call chief.

The children are in foster homes until it's determined whether their adoptive mother, Mercury Liggins, 47, will regain custody.
Yeah, gee, I would say that she probably won't.

Good call chief.
So you are saying that god as people have been taught for thousands of years is no omnipotent?

om·nip·o·tent P Pronunciation Key (m-np-tnt)
adj.
Having unlimited or universal power, authority, or force; all-powerful. See Usage Note at infinite.

n.
One having unlimited power or authority: the bureaucratic omnipotents.
Omnipotent God. Used with the.


Are you also saying that thousands of years of teaching and biblical standard are wrong in saying he is not omnipresent also?

om·ni·pres·ent P Pronunciation Key (mn-prznt)
adj.
Present everywhere simultaneously.

[Medieval Latin omnipresns, omnipresent- : Latin omni-, omni- + Latin praesns, present participle of praeesse, to be present; see present1.]
omni·presence n.

If so then you refute your own standing before your god in saying that and have given him limits and boundaries

Anyways I am out of here...have fun.

I just like arguing with RB because for the most part he usually has good material to draw on for his argumentation.

There are so many different angles that you could go about this, so I don't think that there is a RIGHT answer. I'm just trying to say that the way you say "God was looking out for them" makes it sound like God put them in that situation and that for those 10 months left them like that while he watched. It makes God look like a middle schooler whos torturing little animals for pleasure. Obviously this isn't the case. I saw the said statement as this: The people were on a mission to do something else, but they just happened to be in the right place at the right time. They believe that this "just happened" situation was God's influence on recovering the children to safety.

And yes, God is omniscient and omnipotent, but if you knew anything about Christianity you would know that God doesn't interviene into everyone's life to solve every situation. There are various reasons for this, which I really don't want to get into...because I could write two pages on this, but I wont so lets just leave it at that.
