Should that testimony be the pivotal thing in bringing even one individual back to him, I have few doubts that He would help her live for the sole purpose of bearing that testimony.


This, of course, leads to an interesting discussion on predestination, which I have no desire to have in this forum...so please, let's stay away from any what-if scenarios involving the timing of her death if she'd chosen different paths in her life...

THen why wouldn't he put on a miracle network show once a month or so to bring back thousands to him? I relaize I shouldn't be flip, but that is exactly why I doubt he does it, becaseu if you do it here, why not there? Why didn't he cause Mohammed to get killed in one of his thieving raids on a carvan (this was in his first career) so as to avoid this whole messy Islam thing which has certainly kept many people away from Him? I think we are here largely to work out our own salvation. He will buoy and assist, but I don't think he tinkers or dabbles like that.

I am not saying you are wrong, btw, just offering my opinion.
