Do Christians have power of attorney for God?

Power of attorney? No, but...

2 Corinthians 5:18 Now all things are of God, who has reconciled us to Himself through Jesus Christ, and has given us the ministry of reconciliation, 19 that is, that God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, not imputing their trespasses to them, and has committed to us the word of reconciliation.

20 Now then, we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God were pleading through us: we implore you on Christ's behalf, be reconciled to God. 21 For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.

God give you insight and discernment over those outside the body of Christ to kow where to draw the line with regards to Godly behaivoir. However, all Christians should be reminded God is the judge of all persons. Saved and unsaved. It is not our place to be judgemental of unbelievers, but what happens is this, a Christian tells an unbveliver : Sorry I cant go there, or I cant do that, as it would be against my faith in God to do so". The unbeliever chooses to assume that the Christian is judging them, and takes offence. When in reality, a Christian has a right to say "no I can't go into the 'strip club' with you", ... or what ever the activity is that may be immoral. It's a fine line, and alot of the times non-Christians don't try to understand our possition in things. They become intollerant of our need to say no to the flesh, and call it being judgemental. I'm not sure I answered real well, cause I believe I only scratched the surface of this question, but the short of it is this Christians are not called to judge the world, but we are called to speak out against sin in love, and we should not let the threat of being called "intollerant" or "judgemental" stop us from speaking truth in love when needed.

Naaah,

In the US at least, God gets off the hook with The "Act of God" clause. In other words, if an otherwise-healthy tree falls on your friend's car while it's parked in your driveway during a squall (which happened to us), you are not liable because it was 'an Act of God.'

CORRECTION: Legally, you could SUE God, I suppose---after all, anybody can sue anybody---but since no one's ever been able to serve God a subpoena, I doubt if you could find a lawyer willing to take your case.

I always ask the same thing. How can someone forgive you in the name of God and does this forgiveness really count? And worse I tune in for fun to TBN and they are selling the Holy Spirit in bottles for $14.95. How do they get it in bottles? Did God actually come down and approve this?

I know! This is what I've been getting at! When the knuckle-draggers blurt out these dumb assertions, they are lying through their teeth. They don't *know* what their deity wants and they don't *know* what their deity says because it's not within the realm of sensory perception so that can only mean that it unsubstantiated allegations, otherwise known as religious beliefs. But they don't tell you this; they make out as though it is fact.

That's just plain scary. A mortal being able to make decisions for an entity.

Only someone who is totally insane would dare do be so presumptuous as to think he/she could.

Wouldn't Jesus have power of attorney? My brother had power of attorney for my father... I think only one person can have power of attorney - but I'm not really super legal savvy. (which explains why my brother had power of attorney, not me).

Yes,Satan!

Very good point.

And no, they do not. No such document has ever been recorded.
