I think it is manifest that an all-powerful being, knowing the minds of men, would have no trouble in doing whatever He knew would bend them to his will-- after all, advertisers manage to persuade us the Heinz is somehow better than other brands of baked bean, so if you multiply the skill they have infinitely, we should recognise alright. Consider sex: how many people are dragged around by a handful of hormones, in order to exchange a small amount of bodily fluids? How many wars have been caused for the sake of those same bodily fluids? Don't you think the Creator of that little trick could pull of a few more? How if on the Second Coming He endowed Himself with sexual attraction to the the power of n mega?
and whether or not we/you would believe it was him should he make a 2nd appearance to the public.
what would god have to do to make you shit your pants in adoration and awe so to speak.
i think most Christians would denounce him/it/her as a fake or fraud.
I seem to have got in a Muddle with my Capitals....
