I would. But of course I'm not God. The Bible clearly tell us God has left us to do our free will. God SELDOMED intervenes into man's free will. That appears to be his choice. steveOrino

A question for Skydivers who care about the environment...
steveorino replied to AS1's topic in Speakers Corner
That is one of the reasons I laugh at those who make a big deal of my SUV ... talk about hypocrites. steveOrino -
First, what questions have I asked that God did not answer? Second, some things cannot be known. There are two doctrines in the Christian faith concerning God's Omniscience. Calvinism and Arminism. Many believe these two theologians only disagreed about the security of the believer, but they had other diving factors in their theology. And each of these different beliefs had smaller branches within their own theology. I happen to be a Wesleyan. I believe God is sovereign and I believe He knows all "possible" futures. However, God has given man the ability to chose his own actions, both good and bad. steveOrino

That is why I said his analogy is ridiculous. I'll respond to the other later -- gotta go jump! steveOrino

Thanks! My wife says the beard makes me look Amish. LOL! steveOrino

I've dealt with a lot of people that have had a lot of regrets after a loved one died. i would not wish that burden on my family as much as I would not to be a burden either. To me it is a case by case call. steveOrino

I did reply in my edited version. I KNOW my son is getting attacked and shot at most every day. I could have intervened in his life and worked against his free will and kept him from enlisting to follow the old man's footsteps. Since he was of age I guess I would have had to over power him and lock him in a room (might could have done that a few years back, but not now). BUT, is that a way to live? God can intervene and take away man's free choice, but is that what we really want? IMHO, I don't think I'd like it. steveOrino

Like his dad? (not my son) steveOrino

No need for PAs here. What did I ever do to you? Okay, SNL? Leno? steveOrino

Dude, you should write for Letterman! steveOrino

What a ridiculous analogy. My son Drew is being shot at and having his life be at risk by suicide bombers every day. I knew that when he joined (as I had been there -- done that) I could have locked him in his room I guess. A father taking away free will is not a good thing IMHO steveOrino

LOL! I wish I had been there! No, wait. Where are you? No, I don't. steveOrino

I'd bet you'd have better luck if you didn't try as hard ... get my drift? Be yourself. steveOrino

What a cop out. If God was to intervene in our lives as such and we knew it, we'd all complain that we have no freedom of choice. Free will to do as we choose is how God created us. Good comes with that and some bad. Some very good, and some very bad. I have 3 adult sons. I could direct them in many ways as they were growing up, sometimes to the point they thought they had no choices. What they failed to realize is they ALWAYS had the choice to do what they wanted. However, every choice they made brought consequences, some good, some bad. Some choices were very good, some were very bad. Some consequences were very good, some were very bad. Some choices hurt themselves, some even hurt others. Was I a bad father to give them the ability to choose? steveOrino

The ONLY way I think I could make that is IF my family was ceceased as well. That means I outlived my wife, kids, grandkids. IF that was th ecase and I was terminally ill or had no quality of life I could make that decision ... maybe. steveOrino

I'd follow the advice that says finish school, get a degree, get a good job, Skydiving has given me a wonderful part-time job, but if I had to depend on it to eat ... well, let's say I wouldn't be a member of the anvil club. At your age, I'd learn to pack and get my license that way; packing and skydiving. Ask for skydiving gear for gradauation gifts or cash since whuffos don't know what to buy. Go to college- join a college skydiving club, the jumps are usually cheaper than a regular DZ as it works like a Co-op. By that time you'll have 300-500 jumps, lots of skills and be ready to join a video rotation. Fair warning: most of the money you will make will be reinvested in camera and skydiving equipment. Do a search for the thread: "so you want to fly camer by Karen Lewis (Lewmonst) A great thread on being a vidiot. steveOrino

I didn't know Oklahoma had a team. I'm no Okie. I'm a misplanted Texan. (getting ready for the slams)

I never watched the View or Rosie, but I say, "ditto" (I have seen her tirades on YouTube) steveOrino

I think it is more like being peeved at wannabes like SF guys see. A guy in a bar or DZ and spouts off he was in SF. "Oh, really? What group?" Amazing! All these guys were "black ops" and it is all hush-hush. steveOrino

Did you miss the part that said "O'Donnell was good business for ABC"? Did you miss the part where I said "in the long run"?She increased the demographics of a small sub-culture and that was good for business, but in the long run she would be detrimental. If she was good for all business all the time they would have never let her go. Let me illustrate it this way. Many actions of the GOP has increased the support from the radical far right,and while that is good in itself, it will most likely prove to not be good "in the long run", Capice? We all know that! steveOrino

I know, but try convince Lee of that. steveOrino
