Have you ever had an argument? If I say the word ‘argue’, what comes to mind?  Shakespeare wrote this about lawyers: they strive (argue) mightily and dine together.  His point was simple: it is possible to argue and remain friends.  Of course, the opposite is equally true: it is possible to argue and lose friends.  Arguments, I guess can go one of two ways: they are either motivated by the desire to prove that I’m right and you’re wrong, or they are a means that leads to the discovery of truth.  The first kind is destructive and harmful; the second is constructive and wholesome.  Why and how we argue makes a lot of difference.

The question we’re going to consider today is this: can we argue with God?  Or, perhaps more accurately: is it possible to argue with God, and win?  I appreciate that for some, the notion of arguing with God is a difficult concept to grasp, and particularly if we believe in an omniscient God.  I mean, if God knows everything, what is the point of trying to argue with Him!  However, that is not the same thing…just because God is all-knowing, does not mean that He cannot be persuaded to change His mind.
