Can you elaborate? What message did you derive from the story and how does it eliminate any doubt in the power of God?
Funny.Can you elaborate? What message did you derive from the story and how does it eliminate any doubt in the power of God?
Don't climb a mountain alone?
God will say 'trust me' and will let you die if you don't instead of just saying 'you are only a few feet from the ground' ?

The climber's attachment to this world was more powerful than his trust in God to save him.
Yes, that is why he died on the rope. He clung to the rope for dear life rather than cut it. His attachment to this life/world was more powerful than his trust in God to save him.Funny.Don't climb a mountain alone?

To me, the story has nothing to do with God's power. If you believe in God, it is understood God had the power to save the climber. But the climber did not trust God to save him. He trusted his own instincts driven by his fierce attachment to this life/world.Yes, that is why he died on the rope. He clung to the rope for dear life rather than cut it.

But the story is supposed to be about Gods power in your life. God could have as easily said, 'you are only a few feet from the ground, cut the rope', instead of, 'trust me, cut the rope." A voice in your head while dangling on a rope, perhaps freezing and having altitude related delusions is hardly the time for a God to start playing 'do you trust me' games

It was not God's voice the climber heard. It was his own inner voice/instinct. Had he went with his initial instinct, he would have cut the rope and lived.If he cut the rope, attachment to this life/world, how would he be any different than the saint of Campbell, California, pushing around a shopping cart in the name of the voice in his head?
