1 | Does God have free will? | Bible general Archive 1 | 5589 | |||
It is a thought provoking question. I would argue that God has free will, but is not encumbered with the evil nature of man, so, in His free will, He chooses to always do what is right and just. He is all-knowing, so He knows the consequenses of evil and chooses to avoid it. | ||||||
2 | Does God have free will? | Bible general Archive 1 | Hank | 5636 | ||
God is sovereign, transcendent. To ask or consider whether God has "free will" is the zenith of fatuity. May I suggest a careful, humble reading of Job from the 38th chapter to the end of the book, in which God put Job in his place? --Hank | ||||||
3 | Does God have free will? | Bible general Archive 1 | Cephas | 5644 | ||

Dear Cephas, As with your namesake, please do move on to other, more uplifting things. I do not say this in anger or exasperation, but for your own sake and ours. Peter walked with the Lord Jesus, yet doubted and left Him and even denied Him. He later was filled with the Spirit and this took away every doubt, every bit of skeptisism. He trusted God completely from that time to his death. To speculate that "maybe God this..." or "maybe God that..." is not giving due glory to God, or honoring Him. "What if God made evil?" is a worldly, humanist idea for a new 'Star Trek' movie, or a new 'fantasy' bestseller. This is a forum for sharing our thoughts about a glorious God, full, completely full of goodness and lovingkindness. To investigate His holy Bible for truth and love. I don't know about others, but I find speculation about God's intentions and motives to be peace-robbing, not edifying or peace-giving. Bless you, dear friend, in Jesus' name, charis |

5 | Does God have free will? | Bible general Archive 1 | Cephas | 5661 | ||
My peace has been disturbed.That is why I turned to my brethren for some meat.I dare not and do not speculate about God's intentions and motives, but I am enjoined to "give a reason for my faith".I fear I have thrown a rock in this pond.It was not my intention to disturb anyone's peace, but to find some answers.I have found some. | ||||||
