Evidence for God

I've read it and know the story well. I don't think their disobedience was a surprise to God. But if you know that story then I'm betting you know about the new testament as well. The part where god cut out the need for any man to follow a law and instead just have a relationship with him. Maybe he did that because of the exodus experience. Maybe he knew we'd still be very disobedient even when we did reach out in faith. Bottom line is believers are still disobedient today. They're just covered by grace.

Right. That's what I was trying to say...maybe God evolves??? :duckinglightningbolt:

Many stories in the Bible would tend to agree that He does...

...or maybe it's just us evolving. Maybe, much as a parent dealing with a toddler, God humors us in our misconceptions, and really enjoys it when someone amongst mankind takes that "next step".

If you look at God's "favorites" throughout the Bible (Old Testament, particularly), they weren't so much the folks that obeyed without question. They were usually the folks who dared to question Him. :scratch:
