God, specifically is supposed to be an all knowing, all powerful being who is so great that no one could live in his presence without loving him(hence the need for freewill) Are you saying that god and his angels are so much like us that he has to try to make the angels feel good by asking their opinion?as I pointed out in your 'free will' thread free will is an Ancient Greek construct/philosophy and not a biblically based principle.
We are all potential servants/slaves to the living God. In this life we have been given only one real choice to make, and that is to seek attonement for sin or remain in it/ slave to it separating us from, God creation and eternal servitude. The same type of servitude we see here with the back and forth between God and his angles, abraham and even to a lessor degree lot.
Quote:What does that have to do with the fact that little children are innocent? Even if their fathers had raped them, the victims haven't done anything wrong. You are saying that in this imaginary Sodom, children are raped and so god punishes them along with their attackers.the fact that these children were innocent was my point.
What would be the best actions of a loving Heavenly Father? To bring these Children home, and directly care for them, or to let them fend for themselves in a world designed to consume women and children?
