Internet friendships?

Then you get the little girl to pray for mommy but then tell her that Jesus can't stop mommy from the divorce, etc., etc., Well, that just probably damaged any hopes of much faith in the Lord for your little one. You were correct in what you said....it is up to your W, but that little girl could not understand what you were actually telling her.

This is what I said:

I say, No, He will show Mommy what is right and what is wrong, but He will not force her. She still has to do what God tells her after he told her. It is her decision.

Sandi on this point I have to passionately differ from you. One thing that makes Christianity completely different from other religions is the question of free will:
God created Adam and Eve with the capacity to decide wether they wanted to love Him or not. If love is not given freely it is not true love. They chose not to. He did not stop them. He gave us Christ: it is our decision to accept his sacrifice or not. If we reject Him He will not stop us. I do not want D7 to believe in a God that treats humans as puppets, and then throws them in hell for being a bad puppet. If I believed that I would be a Muslim. The Holy Spirit tells us what is right and wrong. If we choose to do what is right He helps us do it. If we choose to sin he does not stop us.

I did not say that Jesus COULD NOT stop the divorce. I said He WOULD NOT FORCE HER, even if He hates divorce.

Love is only true love if it is given freely.

What if I told her that Jesus would stop the D if He wanted to and He did not? How would that affect her faith?

I promise you D7 understood the concept.
