FK-””The distinction I am making is “action” verses “reaction”. Pushing a button is “action”. When a particular act is needed that is good, God “pushes a button” and the thing happens.””

God does not need the nudie bar,the mugger or the person going to the nudie bar to accomplish goodness,Dear Brother.

There would not be a mugging in the first place if there was no nudie bar. That would be God's will!

To say that God planned and pushed a button is ridiculous!

As I said before....God would not want the nudie bar in the first place.

I never said God "needed" anything. It was a totally made up and silly example to show that God can use ANYTHING that He has allowed in this world to accomplish His goodness.

Is God powerful enough to get rid of it if that's what He wanted? Why would you say He doesn't? That is, you just told me that man overrides God's will, since there ARE nudie bars (as I'm told). Is that God's choice under the way you see things?
