[QUOTE="Hospes, post: 68941600, member: 116445"] My guess is you are incorrectly thinking God is passively dependent on the message being given correctly and not taking into account Him being active in the mind/heart of the person hearing the message. Christians believe delivering the Good News - i.e. Gospel - accurately is very important, but what is infinitely more important is that God participates in changing the mind/heart of the hearer. I know numerous people that heard a pretty bad presentation of the Gospel and yet God used it to reconcile them to Himself. Later, they grew in their understanding, and as they did, they more fully experienced the benefits of accepting the Gospel. You are right in God using us to make himself more "impressive". I hope what I wrote above helps in understanding him being that much more impressive in reconciling people to himself even with a faulty/incomplete message. [/QUOTE]
