Can you surprise your god?
I cannot surprise Him, since I believe He is outside of time and knows the future.
Quote:Can you change his plans?
His plan is for us to have free will, knowing that in the end, the good that comes from it will far outweigh the bad.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
