Your explaination for this work of God

God working on the SDMB who would have thought of such a thing. There have been miracle witnessing reporting threads, and this is along those lines.

Sometimes in the morning I will read scriptures, I have been in Psalms for quite some time, reading them in order. One morning I felt I should just open up the book 'randomly' but in the NT. I have had leading to open the book at 'random' before, but they don't happen often. When I did and opened directly to John 19, which is Jesus sentenced to be crucified.

Then opening the SDMB I see a response to my post in Atheists in foxholes thread by The Other Waldo Pepper stating:

Which I responded with John 19 which shows to me that Jesus was found 'not guilty' and only executed to please the crowd.

Also that the Mod requested to take such things to a new thread.

So following all that, my take is 1: God wanted to state His case to The Other Waldo Pepper and/or others here and 2: God used me for this, and also 3: God used the Mod to start a new thread on it which this is (regardless of the Marley23 intentions for posting).

So any other explanations that can possibly explain this?
