WE as a county have let her down. And for that I ask for forgiveness.

Given that Terri and her parents are clearly children of God, which do you think Terri would prefer:

1. Terri is rescued, but the thousands who share her fate are not.
2. Terri is not rescued, but the thousands who share her fate are.

Of course, I know I'd prefer an option -3- (Terri is rescued and so are the rest), but I don't know if that's in the cards.

I tend to think of God as a person playing solitaire. Such a person could physically put a black Five on a red Nine, but in so doing the person would cease to be playing solitaire. God gave mankind free will, and set up certain rules about how he would run the world. For him to be willing to break those rules even once would be for him to deny free will for everyone. Under God's rules, I don't know if he can force outcome -3-, or if he'll have to content himself with outcome -2-.

But I do know this: either Terri will be alive in three months' time, or those who now seek her death will wish she were.

I think you're right, Supercat.

I think God can force the outcome, but he respects our free will...I'll be glad when He's ruling and reigning from Jerusalem...(hopefully soon).
