That is still an effort on your part to influence the actions of an infinite God. There is a logical inconsistency here, if one assumes that God was going to do what what Right And Proper anyway.



And PS: No, you can't say that here. This is a family forum. Shame on you.

I don't agree. On my own, my only real interaction would be to screw things up. My goal is to due justly, love mercy and walk humbly with my God. The only way I could ever pull that off is if He shows me how I ought to interact with his Will.

That is the point behind Christian obedience; I want my actions, thoughts, desires to be in sync with Gods, not the other way around. But I have to ask direction first. Then I have to be willing to follow through when I get an answer.
