Of course God can do whatever He wants to do. Nobody has argued otherwise. But God often allows his church to figure things out in their own time. Our history is full of instances where God could have intervened but didn't. Why is it so difficult to imagine that against the backdrop of an America that was quite racist a policy mistake occurred that has been repaired. I mean, if the issue is so cut and dried why was there such vigorous debate among the apostles?
