What did god send to force pharaoh to let his people go?
God sent Plagues.
Why worship the ten plagues?
Egypt's Pharaoh, Ramses II, was very stubborn and harsh at times. God sent the ten plagues because Pharaoh would not let God's people go, the Israelites. Pharaoh wanted them to continue as slaves, and when Moses asked him to let God's people go, Ramses refused, saying I am god! ( Egyptian pharaohs at the time believed they were sons of Ra, the Egyptian sun god.) Since God was mindful of His covenant (promise, agreement) with Abraham and Sarah (He promised them many descendants, as countless as the stars, and a great land), God sent the plagues in order for Egypt's pharaoh to believe and let God's people go. God didn't prefer to do this, but it was the only way to get Pharaoh to let the Israelites go free, to the promised land.
Were there ten or nine plagues?
No. There was a warning for each of the first two in the sets of 3. In other words, the 3rd, 6th, and 9th plagues did not have a prior warning. This was a punishment for Paraoh's not having learned the lesson of the plagues for which he was warned.Let my people go!Moses told Pharoah to let his (God's) people go, and since he didn't, the plagues came, ending with the death of the Pharoah's only son, as well as the death of all other Gentile first borns in Egypt.Another answer:The plagues WERE the warning!

Who believed the Exodus showed God's powers?
Exodus means "to exit". And yes, it shows what awsome and powerful God the Isralites have. God himself harden the heart of Pharoh not to let go of God's people for God can magnify and glorify what God can do. Plus, God had sent all those plagues to ashame all the Egyptians 'gods". For every main god the egyptians served, God sent a plague.
What were the 3 curses of Moses to get the slaves from Pharaoh?
God brought ten plagues upon the Egyptians, using Moses as His go-between. The Ipuwer papyrus mentions a number of the Plagues ("Pestilence is throughout the land....the river is blood, death is not scarce...there is no food...neither fruit nor herbs can be found...barley has perished...all is ruin...the statues are burned") (Professor John van Seters, Journal of Egyptian Archaeology no. 50). The plagues were also described by ancient historians, including Herodotus and Diodorus. The Exodus is mentioned by Strabo, Berosus, Artapanus, Numenius, Justin, and Tacitus.See also the Related Links.Link: The PlaguesLink: The Exodus
Why did the Egyptians and not the Israelites suffer the effects of the plagues?
This is due to the fact that the plagues were specifically addressed against the Egyptians. It was the Egyptian Pharaoh who was refusing to let the Israelites go.
