How do you deal with divine intervention in a plot if you have a (Christianity-based) God figure? On one hand, you don’t want deus ex machina ruining conflict. On the other hand, wouldn’t God’s nature be such that He would intervene in an epic conflict? Obviously in our world, when the stakes were world-altering, He did intervene by sending Jesus as a human.
