You are ignoring my examples. The Bible clearly says that Lot, Moses, and Jonah bargained with God. If God has His mind made up, what would be the point of writing it in Scripture? Then there is no hope in prayer. The word "prayer" means to ask. What would be the purpose of prayer then? Jesus asks us to pray. So we pray. God makes the rules and we follow, that's the way it works. If God wanted to wipe out people, why not? He IS god. He is bound to the promises He makes to us and WE are under the covenant He made with us by His laws. He IS not.

Yep, and if you believe that God can see the future, he knew that you would and what you would want, and if you were going to get it ... all before the Earth was formed ...
