who are you to question your creator,His deeds, actions, spoken words, ? Be careful! The reason He (God) harden pharoah heart is best known to God, may be is even for your own good, you don't know, so stop questioning the unquestionable God, you know what He(God) ask job, when job was questioning God right? If job was unable to answer so stop the questioning! And face the important things of your life, the quest for knowledge that is what is destroying the whole world, wish adam and eve did not eat the fruit of knowledge, oh! How peaceful the world will be. |

[quote author=itstpia1][/quote] Martians don't die, they ride chariots of fire into NeverNeverland where judeo- christians live as slaves. We conquered heaven, enslaved the inhabitants and took them to NeverNeverLand. I'll add you to my collection of slaves. I have one right now called yahweh and I'm sure you want to make his acquaintance. 1 Like |

Thank you all for your responses, what im going to conclude is that.. God was really bitter with Pharaoh and his people for their harsh treatment of his children. on that note, they all got what they deserved. may we never see the wrath of the creator of Heaven and Earth, the one who was, who is and who is to come. The author and the finisher of our faith! |

You want to convert people to your religion, your signature says so, but if the Muslims and Hindus and Pastafarians don't question their gods then how can they know they're worshipping the wrong god? If it's okay for them to question their faith, why not you? You're apologetic is lame. 1 Like

Itusco: Brother let's not conclude just yet. I admire you for asking. God shouldn't be angry when we try to understand his nature better, and how do we know when we aren't curious enough to ask? A stage should come when your faith should be able to handle anything. God created pharaoh so that he can harden his heart and destroy him to display his glory. Why? Simply because he can and wants to. If we delve into Romans 9 we'll see how "unjust" God’s really is. He picks favorites "even before the foundations of the world were laid" and he created people like me and Martian so that he will eventually destroy us and put us in eternal hell forever, not because we essentially wrong him but because it gives the sadistic mess he is deep pleasure. 1 Like |

Xcapist: PRECISELY!!!! There's no other way of looking at it, unless the attributes of the God in question are wrong. If this God has a blind spot, then other possibilities present themselves. But as long as humans claim that he's omnipotent and omniscient, then this write up of yours is the only logical extrapolation available. 2 Likes |

The contextual meaning of God hardening Pharoah's heart was that God made Pharaoh more determined to refuse to let the Jews leave by his message and actions; not that God messed with Pharoah's free-will. In fact, I strongly doubt that there's any case in the Bible of God tampering with someone's free-will. 1 Like |

macof: I dont recall any atheist being struck down by lightning fore denying God. The Bible in Ecclesiastes confirms that God lets both rain and sun, fortunes and misfortunes on the just and unjust so it's safe tio assume that God granted men freedom of will. |

Uyi has answered you. I need add nothing more. The other answer I actually meant to give has also been given. You could say that I'm here merely for emphasis. To start with, God does not tamper with people's power of choice. He is not low on persuasiveness. But even if He did, what right does anyone have to question His doing so? Do people question your right to do as you please with your possessions? |
