Benefits for us again implies some sort of constraints. An all powerful God can have things set up however it wants, so that intervention can be as good as, or better than, non intervention.

If there is anything at all to some historic accounts, intervention does take place and it's minimalist.

And from many of those accounts there are more, greater interventions coming whether directly or indirectly.


God is All powerful and all knowing of what is required from start to finish.  Some finishes take time to set, some blades need time to anneal.

If God did it all for us, there would certainly be unity...but the good that grows out of the free-will of Man is an over-unity.

He's not all powerful if there is something "required" that he didn't also set the requirement up for.

Did he make the rules, or show up one day with the rules in place? It doesn't seem sensible that it's both.
