Did bruce break one of God's rules?


wouldn't bruce messing with evan on the news show be tampering with free will?



just wandering

I think its a matter of you can't make someone do something they don't secretly want to do.

When he tried to make Grace love him nothing happened, but what he did to Evan I thought that Evan had always wanted to go nuts on the air but never had the balls to do it. But when Bruce 'made' him he didn't put up any resistance.

You're a troll.

No didn't he didn't seem to love him to me

Hmmmm, it's close but I don't think so. He didn't change his will in his decisions for his life, what he was going to do. He did mess with his ability to talk for a moment and changed the prompter but he didn't change his will. Evan losing the ability to speak correctly for a few seconds wasn't his "free will". A better example of that would have been Bruce "causing" Evan to resign the job....making him choose to do something against his will.

It's close but messing with his speech isn't the same thing as changing what a person CHOOSES to do or not do.

Doesn't break rules

God does this same thing in book of Acts where the fire of the holy spirit caused everyone to speak in foreign languages yet everyone understood all languages.

Speaking in tongues got bastardized by TV evangelists but the original book of acts god caused everyone to understand all languages spoken at same time as be able to speak all languages so for meeting there was zero language barriers

He did speak through one disciple who interpreted


So the scene mimics the book of acts

I THINK

Gods Will would be living by the 10 Commandments and avoiding the 7 Deadly Sins

IF I need to -- I will list them
