>>That's probably how the Pharoah thought as each plague was thrown at him. What about Judas Iscariot? If Jesus was God and knew the thoughts of others (as the Bible states), why did he choose him to be one of the Twelve? The result (his arrest and crucifixion) could still have been the same. There are so many other examples you could pull. Really, if these stories were contrived, surely the authors could have come up with something far better.

Perhaps a better way to state the 10 plagues was that God gave Pharoh 10 chances to change. This does not demonstrate a lack of power - rather it demostrates mercy.
