Responce: Yes, he could have but that's not the point. God wanted to display to Isreal that he was the one true God. So thats why he punished Pharoah and all of Pharoah's gods. The way he appears to Moses is different because he was intimate with Moses and revealed his name to him.

Responce: No, it wasn't for suspence God had a reason for everything that he did. For example he showed his powers over Pharoah's magicians showing God had the authority over evil, he revealed himself to Isreal. He remained faithful to the covenant of Abraham, and that he never breaks his covenant with his children.

Responce: You kind of answered your own question omnipotent beings have nothing to prove therefore you are agreeing with me on this point. All through scriptures God uses the Devil to complete his will. This is significant because God is showing his power over the power of darkness. That know matter what Satan plan is God's plan will always prevail. And this is security for the believer that Satan's plan will never prevail against us because God's plan is higher.

Responce: You missed my point. The scholors who tried to deny his existance were a little out of there league. So a lot of there aurguments fell short because of their background. Not all of their aurguments were outside of the Biblical text.

Responce: Exactly, its hard to find any credible scholars who would disagree.

Responce: I will take into account that you never said he did or did'nt exist. But there are many who make the claim that Christ was never cruxified and the whole story was fabricated. Thats why I brought briefly the Yohannan.

Responce: No, you have to realize that the Jewish sacrificial system is deeply rooted into the core of their foundation. The Jews sacrificed animals for thousands of years threwout the entire old testament. Then right after Christ resurrection it stop. So your buggy argument is kind of correct is saying that something better has come along.

Responce: No, what I am saying is if you take an objective look at Christianity or any religion you can see if it is divine or not. By the way L Ron Hubbard was quoted as saying the best way to make some money is through religion. The next year scientolgy became a reality.

Responce: Do you know part 2 of Evidence for God is the fact that there are no really good reasons to be an atheist. To say that there is no evidence for God is one thing but you have to come with evidence disproving God.

Responce: But unlike ants we are significant to God because we were created in his Image.

Responce: 1 is correct.2)is borderline 3)is incorrect, God punished man because of his disobediance not for imprfection.4)This is funny you really are trying to offend God here, but that's okay God has a place just waiting for you if you do not want to be in fellowship with him.

Responce: Temper, Temper. Would a punk die for you, would a punk make you in his image, would a punk love you unconditionally even though you nor I deserve it,would a punk take the time to put you together in your mothers womb. The answer is no God wanted you to be free and to choose him or not to choose him that is the point of the fall.A God who forces you to love him would be your punk.
