Thousands of God's people were killed in the coliseum and used as torches at Nero's garden parties. God did not spare them from their fate. Was God impotent in that situation? Surely there were thousands in Rome who were praying for the relief of their bretheren. Under your theology. God was obligated to pluck them up from the coliseum floor. You dare not say it but you are telling God what he should be doing and stating that God's act are dependent and subservient to man's will. This places man in a position of vetoing God. Please reconsider your position.

This is only true if you take the position that God came to kill, steal and destroy. I am sorry, I cannot accept that. Jesus said that the devil came to kill, steal and destroy and that he came to give us life and life more abundantly. You can be as figurative in your interpretation as you want. I plan to trust God and please him by my trusting him. Let's see which of us dies and which is saved until the end. No more debate- let's just wait and see, shall we.
