Peter writes:
quote:
He has to rain plagues on Egypt to convince Pharoah to
let the Isrealites go ... when he could have just made Pharoah
do it,
Don't forget that god deliberately made Pharaoh refuse by hardening his heart against Moses.
In other words, god manufactured the situation of escalating plagues leading to the killing of all the firstborn.
Why would god do that? If the goal was, indeed, to have the Israelites leave Egypt, why specifically make the political leader who would be of such great assistance in easing the burden of this shift become such a jerk that you have to kill his kid to get through to him that you really mean it?
