... billions of instances have spawned. God programmed into 'man' the feature of 'free will' which enabled the programs to make some weird decisions. My question is, when is God going to get tired of his programs and turn off his computer?

God isnt. he made us with his will for our life to be good, the people who sin, had the choice to sin or not. he tryed to save everyone from hell, but ifthey dont chose to follow him, then he cant make them. God also punishes everyone for thier sins, on his own tiime.

God created man as a person in God's image, not a program. God did not program a "feature" of free will, God gave man the characteristic that God had of free will. God didn't enable the programs to make weird decisions, he gave man one main decision and many small ones. The main one is whether or not man wants God as his God or someone else. If man chooses to be his own God, he gets the natural consequences of that choice. If man chooses God as his God, he gets the natural consequences of that choice. It's all up to man. God is NOT controlling him.

I don't know about the entire program but the branch that spawned you has developed a fatal error and is about to abort.

What is your point? Are you trying to mock God? If so you are walking on thin ice. Wise up. God gave you enough faith to believe in him but you must choose to use it. You are now just spinning your wheels with no eternal security. Choose life before you lose the opportunity.

--YOU REALLY BELIEVE he needs a computer or are you mocking, again? If you claim to be a worshipper of God, it is indeed hard to make that out!

--You probably have more hope & confidence in some professional sports team that they will come through and fulfill all your worshippful trust!

--You indeed have a lot of gaul, for someone that has not provided his own air , water and every other free gift in life we have from above, and in abundance.

--Just in case you might be open to some food for thought, the promise of paradise on earth is indeed the purpose that Jehovah God had made and has reiterated that through out history, especially by means of his Son Christ!

--The surety of this promise is made in comparring earthly physical systems, as they function perfectly--with His words of promise, such as .".kingdom come..thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven......"

(Isaiah 55:10-11) "10 For just as the pouring rain descends, and the snow, from the heavens and does not return to that place, unless it actually saturates the earth and makes it produce and sprout, and seed is actually given to the sower and bread to the eater, 11 so my word that goes forth from my mouth will prove to be. It will not return to me without results, but it will certainly do that in which I have delighted, and it will have certain success in that for which I have sent it."

--You actually fulfill a prophecy you and those who love to mock God's & Christs promises, you know like a mocking bird:

(2 Peter 3:3-4) "3 For YOU know this first, that in the last days there will come ridiculers with their ridicule, proceeding according to their own desires 4 and saying: "Where is this promised presence of his? Why, from the day our forefathers fell asleep [in death], all things are continuing exactly as from creation's beginning.""

--You know, there is a keeper of time, and as the Bible in the following text shows, God can be in charge of any and all that are listed in the 9 verses. Some he allows man to control MAJOR THINGS he indeed can control, someone is in charge of the might forces in nature AND it is not mother nature!

(Ecclesiastes 3:1-9) "3 For everything there is an appointed time, even a time for every affair under the heavens...........:"

--Can you in your wisdom of contempt think of any thing that time is not connected to?
--IS IT NOT SO that someone is always in charge of when something is going to happen?
--Like the Super Bowl, Olympics, when you are going to wake up, when you are going to have moral or immoral sex, when you are going to pay your bills, pay for a murder one has committed etc. etc.

Do you think Donald Trump, George Bush, the sicko Ben Ledan, the oil Shieks or barons etc. etc.have a say on WHEN things are going to take place?

--DO YOU THINK any of these so-called important people have a say when it is going to rain, snow, or any of the natural phenomenon that happen when the right conditions exist?

--Time is, as it was invented by God, and He keeps a very accurate schedule for everything he has in mind TO PERSONALLY DO!
--IN THE PAST that included The Flood, The Sodom & Gomorrah incident, The ten plagues on Egypt etc.---And it certainly has to do with when he will bring on the situation of His "Armaggedon."--to be experience on the whole human race. There is always an---- APPOINTED time for EVERYTHING:

(Ecclesiastes 3:7-8) ". . .; 8 a time to love and a time to hate; a time for war and a time for peace."

If we were programmed in any way, the Church-Turing Thesis prevents free will from existing.

Next Tuesday is about as good an answer as you're going to get.

And I'm hoping it's true, as my jeep is due for a tuneup next week.
