She was chosen. Just like any other miracle, if it happens all the time people will dismiss it as normal.
God rose Jesus from the dead to prove to non-believers that he could, and therefore prove the possibility of live after death.
Peter 1:3
Not sure, but Jesus did ask for their forgiveness "for they not know what they are doing".
It wasn't because he just felt like it. He did it to escape from the Egyptians who were sent to kill him and the Israelites slaves he'd led out of Egypt.
He parted the Red Sea, crossed safely, and then when the Egyptians tried, the Sea drowned them.
Exodus 14:16- God tells him HOW to do it.
Exodus 14:17-18- God tells WHY to do it.
Exodus 14:21- Moses DID it.
Exodus 14:22- Israelites crossed.
Exodus 14:27- Moses closes the Sea back again.
Exodus 14:28- Pursuing Egyptians perish.
Yes, that's it in a nutshell.
Daniel questioned the King's decree that anyone that asked anything from any god, other than him, would be thrown in with the lions. For doing so, the King tried to make an example out of him (Daniel 6:12). He was then thrown in and a boulder blocked his escaping back out (Daniel 6:17). The King woke up the next morning only to find that Daniel was just fine (Daniel 6:20).
What about all of the people who died because of the storm? Do you really think that not one of those people had a true faith in God...I guess "it was just their time to go". That sounds like a cop out to me. How did the 3 wise men just know that there was a baby that they should give gifts to and worship? Did someone call them on the telephone??
I'm not trying to be smart. These are just the types of things I think about.
