The power of God
April 1, 2012 at 5:12 pm
In one of my post in 'I AM THE GOD WARRIOR!!' by Wan King I mention that god has been losing his power like this:
6000 years ago he created everything,
2000 years ago he was bring people back to life and healing people,
21th century .... well he can just about make a image of Jesus on a piece of toast or a dogs ass.
Here a convenient graph

I must say, that made me laugh.
Mark 6:4-5 "Jesus said to them, “Only in his hometown, among his relatives and in his own house is a prophet without honor.” 5He could not do any miracles there, except lay his hands on a few sick people and heal them. 6And he was amazed at their lack of faith."
Just a thought.

Millions are being saved every year by the power of His grace. Sounds like God's power is rolling own.
God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.

Look maybe Yahweh went into a serious depression after his only son died. You can't expect a grieving parent to be on top of their game.

Saved? there trying to reach to him and make a "connection", what was the last great thing that God did that could not have happened by chance anyway?

Gave salvation to many this day.

Well, humans have picked up most of the heavy lifting when it comes to healing the sick, so God can concentrate on tent revivals now.

I think a more plausible explanation than god not being as powerful anymore is that he has seen what his creation is capable of and no longer cares about it. The fact that we haven't been wiped out yet points to the idea that there is no ever watchful, omnipotent father figure watching us.
Even if the open windows of science at first make us shiver after the cozy indoor warmth of traditional humanizing myths, in the end the fresh air brings vigor, and the great spaces have a splendor of their own - Bertrand Russell
