Bible Note: Dear Lionstrong and Cephas, In my answer to Cephas' original question, "Does God have a free will", I believe that our God in heaven is the Master Orchestrator, the Divine Diety that is in control of everything in existence in His sovereignty. Therefore, I feel that it would be a 'moot' point to even discuss the idea of God having a 'free will'. With God, there is no such thing as 'free will' since everything that exists is because of God's own will. Therefore, God's will prevails over everything! The only part of all of God's creation that has any type of 'free will' is man, since we have the awesome choice of accepting Jesus into our hearts or rejecting God for all eternity. If you say that either the Father, Jesus the Son, or the Holy Spirit has a 'different will' from each other, then you are undermining the very idea of One God in Three persons, the blessed Trinity. If you believe in the Trinity, then you know that there is One God who is made up of Three distinct Persons. And these Persons are never apart or separated from each other, since all three retain the characteristics of God and all three are omniscient and omnipotent. Therefore, if God cannot be separated, then neither is His will separated into three wills. If you read John 17, the part where it talks about the Father and the Son being 'one' and the believers being 'one' as God is 'one', then you will see and understand where I am coming from when I say that God's will cannot be divided amongst the Trinity, and that the idea of God having 'free will' is absurd, since the nature of God is revealed throughout the Bible as 'never changing'. |
