Well, first I have to establish something, what do Christians believe our purpose on earth is? A test?

This is going to be a "God cant be omnipotent" question, isnt it?

this would largely depend on your own personal view of how involved god is in your life.

so basically, the best youre going to get with this question is alot of opinion.

Awww, so, it isn't written in the bible or anything? And lets say I am talking about a hardcore Christian who goes to church every Sunday.

I think you're supposed to develop a relationship with God here.

Basically all it boils down to is a soul winning marathon. Make the important life decisions God wants you to make and get as many people as you can to become practicing Christians.

So wouldn't it be like a test to seperate the believers and the non-believers? Or the good Christians from the bad Christians?

winnig people over is just one aspect its more about your personel relationship with god

Stop focusing on christianity for a while.

Rant/focus on Hindus for a while.

theres a difference between 'hardcore christian' and one who goes to church every sunday.

a hardcore christian would prolly beleive that god is very very involved in day to day life.

me personally, i think that free will means that divinity stays largely uninvolved in day to day life, as far as actions or something. theres not a need for a constant prescence IMO.

If your out witnessing then its a given fact that you have a good relationship to God in the first place http://www.totse.com/bbs/tongue.gif (http://www.totse.com/bbs/tongue.gif)
