Again, you're assuming this. If you believe in God, then you need to believe that God can do what he wants with his power. Also, quoting the bible to back up your claim would not fit either because it was written centuries ago. Are you telling me humans can change their mind about something, but God cannot? Or, maybe, humans have progressed to the point, that God now feels he can start giving them some of that power, much like as a child gets older, a parent gives them more responsiblities. I'm just presenting a point of view you may have not thought of. [/QUOTE]Yeah, I know, but the Bible...well...I guess not. But if God gives out His power for others to use, what is the point? Most likely people will use it for their own ends or to harm people. I just don't think He would do that, my personal belief I guess. I get a lot of advice from the leader at our youth group (Christian youth group, I mean) and she has been a mentor to me. Yes I am assuming, but then, saying that God may give His power like that to humans is also assuming. Now, I know you don't believe that, as you explicitly said that, but if anyone does say that, thats assuming as well. We will only know when we die, when we are no longer resctricted by our flesh and blood brain. We have limits to our understanding during life...maybe after life, everything becomes clearer.
Also, I'm not saying God cannot change His mind, but He did have a "plan" from the beginning which He will not go against, because that is His plan to save the world. He doesn't break promises, otherwise he wouldn't be God. He doesn't change His plan as He goes along, as He knows absolutely everything. That is a difficult concept to understand, but something I believe from what I experienced and been taught.
