  why would God hardened the heart of Pharaoh

  I know this is going to sound crazy, but it's because YHWH had lost to Pharaoh in a game of Monopoly 2 weeks prior (Pharaoh scored Mayfair early on and the game was pretty much over after that. God lost $50 and a case of Stella, and was not a happy camper). Basically the whole 'Heart Hardening' incident was God just pranking Pharaoh, trying to get his own back. In the Bible there are plenty of examples of God's wicked sense of humour - take the Bear and the 42 children. So YHWH's prank was pretty run-of-the-mill, to be honest.

  This whole theory is evidenced by how YHWH directly interacts with his home-boy Moses. God got Moses involved, and although he was a cry-baby at first, he was really into it by the 5th plague. Moses was just a 'front' so Pharaoh didn't catch on during the early stages.

  Y'all are forgeting the wonders of FLIGHT!!

  I'd be an eagle - majestic, soaring, with the wind in my feathers. . .

  Until I get cocky and die tragically in a game of chicken with a 18-wheeler.

  perhaps i've just been logging on at the right time but i've seen no insane eschatology or prophecy from our resident messiah/prophets and of course, rick isn't spamming the board and everything just seems .

  EVERYONE IS AN ATHEIST

  by nicolaou in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  it's the starting point for each of our journeys even if many move away from it.

  some return while others never do though even these remain 'atheists' towards a strangers god.

  eventually we end up in the same absence of belief and knowledge as when we began.. the journey is what makes a life and if yours contains a belief in god that's fine - so long as it causes no harm.

  EVERYONE IS AGNOSTIC

  2. beliefs

  since we are born in ignorance, it's the starting point for each of our journeys even if many move away from it.

  some return while others never do though even these remain 'agnostic' towards leprechauns and such.

  eventually we end up in the same state of ambivalence and uncertainty as when we began.. the journey is what makes a life and if yours contains a positive or negative belief in anything that's fine - so long as it causes no harm.

  EVERYONE IS A THEIST

  by botchtowersociety in

  2. beliefs

  since everything comes from god, it's the starting point for each of our journeys even if many move away from it.

  some return while others never do though even these remain 'theists' towards a deeply held conviction.

  eventually we all die and meet our maker and end up in the presence of belief and knowledge as when we began.. the journey is what makes a life and if yours contains a lack of belief in god that's fine - so long as it causes no harm.
