Bible Question: If men and angels can do evil because they have free will and God can do no evil, does it follow that God does not have free will? |
Bible Answer: Contrary to whoever voted against you, I think this is a very valid question. The simple answer: God's character is unchanging. Therefore, God cannot be "un-Godly." Whatever the Scripture reveals Him to be, then we know that He will continuously act in concert with that nature. Now, then, God is the Creator and sovereign Lord, so he can do whatever he wants with us. He cannot act against His nature (for example, he cannot lie), but His hands are not tied by His creation, either. We cannot control God in any way, contrary to those who speak on TBN of the Holy Spirit as if He were the Force from Star Wars. Does this help address your question? --Joe! |
