A Good Samaritan
>>134328 God Holds us Personally responsible for our own action, because he does not interviene. (Pardon the spelling error, if any.)
He does not, however, DIRECTLY control us. he does not turn us into drones, and control each of our actions. He DOES, however, posess ways to influence us, but it is our decision to acknowledge it. A type of Bait, if you will. The Pharoah (again, pardon me for any mispellings) had his heart hardened (for lack of any better words) because he allowed God to influence him. This, in turn, made the Pharoah change his ways.
(Note that this is also how evil works; No direct power, just subtle influences that easily seduce)
Don't Misinterperet Mark 3:29. "But whoever may speak evil in regard to the Holy Spirit hath not forgiveness"
This is not speaking of Doubting the Lord, but Cursing his Name.
Doubt is Okay, Everybody at one point in their life, thinks "What if I'm Wrong?". Some just choose to continue Believing.
And about the Anti-Shellfish decree in Leviticus (my favorite Book, By the way), It is the code of Laws by which the Jews live (You failed to see/mention Acts 10:9-16, where a voice says unto Peter: "What God has cleansed you must not call common.". Jews, however, don't believe The New Testament, and thus have disregarded this.
(It should also be noted that Leviticus was comprised In the days Before Christ, and was then the Law for the Pre-Messianic Jews.)
