InesQor: petres_007. The esteemed InesQor has taken a first cut InesQor gave a good account that God hardened Pharaoh's heart by allowing Pharaoh's pride to drown Pharaoh It would had been a bonus if InesQor, with simple and believable examples, had described how God actually hardened Pharaoh's heart InesQor said "But God hardened the guy's heart by sending mere pawns to face him" That is how God hardened Pharaoh's heart? Is that it? petres_007, its a good dig but honestly thought InesQor will be more convincing, more credible, more elementary, more plausible than that InesQor's facts are 100%. InesQor estimation or assessment of Pharaoh's psyche or physio mentally is spot on It is the sequence of events on how exactly God hardened Pharaoh's heart that seems to be indescribable in what InesQor submitted How God hardened Pharaoh's heart is beggaring description. Pharaoh's increasingly inflating ego obviously was a factor, this in line with InesQor's flow but how and inconjunction with what if that maybe asked How did God allow the heart to harden? How did He do it? How did God achieve this? How did God allow? How? [center]Keep thy heart more than anything that is guarded; for out of it are the issues of life - Pro 4:23[/center] |

InesQor: I do not think this argument answers the question. The Pharaoh at that point wanted to release the Israelite in spite of his pride. Pride had already lost out to reason. What exactly was the God character allowing to happen to change this dynamic. In fact, the God character had to harden the Pharaohs heart multiple times. If he had so much control over the pharaohs will/actions then why not just manipulate the Pharaoh directly into releasing the slaves? |

mazee: This is not true at all. The God character of the bible is quite cruel and vindictive. Commanding followers right up front, to kill anyone who hates it.
Telling its followers that it is a jealous being and will personally destroy completely anyone who worships another.
Deuteronomy 28:15-68. 29:19-20 are just one big list of curses. Under some circumstance all of them will be met out as punishment. Curses include people being forced to cannibalize their own children.
If one ignores the God character, it will actually take pleasure in your suffering and do nothing about it.
More eating of children
Hosts of other verses of the bible show that the God character in the Bible is very cruel and very vindictive. |

Idehn: Idehn. Dont get the wrong end of the stick, you are misunderstanding what was happening in all those referenced verses Who or what do you deem is better than God? So God's morale fiber is under scrutiny now? Is it? What is blessing? What is curse? Anyway "The hosts of other verses of the bible show that the God character in the Bible is very cruel and very vindictive" is a trumped up charge. When we eventually work out, how God hardened Pharaoh's heart, you'll find that your premise that God is cruel and vindictive will fall flat on it's face [center]And just as they did not see fit to acknowledge God any longer, God gave them over to a depraved mind, to do those things which are not proper Romans 1:28[/center] |

@Idehn: Thanks for sharing your thoughts. @mazee: Hmmm let me see. God hardened his heart by[i] NOT overriding[/i] his freewill? I think Pharaoh was the active participant in the hardening? A natural consequence? As for how exactly, I may need to give that some more thought. ![]() ETA: I think the natural tendency is for things to go upside-down but God stabilizes things when he so-desires. He does not owe it to you to stabilize things when man gets himself in a mess, so if he doesn't; things will be real rough. Or something. ![]() |
