Re: Does God have Free Will?

Have you read Mere Christianity, or any of Lee Strobel's works? I don't believe that I've read any of Lee Strobel's books. I have a copy of Josh McDowell's book: More Than A Carpenter. I have no idea if those two authors have anything in common at all, it just seemed like a good thing to write at t...

Re: Does God have Free Will?

Well, not to be smart, but....He is God. He is the ultimate righteous being. This is where I believe our opinions differ. I believe that an all-powerful being with free will would, by definition, be responsible for the damnation of His creation. CSLEWISLOVER and I are discussing this in his posts a...

Re: Does God have Free Will?

Do you think that if God really does exist and that He created everything, that He would then be considered more intelligent and creative and powerful than we are? If these things were true, and He created us, then should we believe what He tells us? Should we believe that God did in fact reveal kn...

Re: Does God have Free Will?

quote="zoegirl"]If He chooses to not damn His creation then He is not a JUST God. GOD is righteous and Just and while He may have free will (although that is tough application, OUR concept of free will is dependent on being constrained in time and space, finite creatures, free will with re...

Re: Does God have Free Will?

You keep saying that God is damning people, and a huge percent of them, I might add. y:-? It's our choice whether we want to be with Him or not. He doesn't force us either way. You keep blaming him for actions that are our own responsibility. You're making God a scape goat. Whether one is saved or ...

Re: Does God have Free Will?

It sounds like you're going with the premise that humans are all God's children, but they're not. We become His children when we're adopted into His family and that way we inherit the kingdom. Humans in general are God's creation, not His children. God has free will - how could he not? But He also ...

Re: Does God have Free Will?

why is God not responsible for His free will choices Responsible to whom? I have no idea what you mean here. Human parents are both morally responsible FOR the welfare of their children, and human parents are morally responsible TO their children. Do you think that, because this particular God is d...

Re: Does God have Free Will?

God has free will, but it is constrained by his absolute righteousness. He cannot be anything but fair/right. So if a person chooses NOT to do what is righteous or as in humans, choose Christ to be our representative, then He has no choice but to follow through with Judgement. The rules are, perfect...

Does God have Free Will?

And if so, why is God not responsible for His free will choices? I am asking this question in this forum, because I'd like to know what Christians think about this topic, and where my logic is wrong (if it is wrong at all). If God is making a free will choice to allow some of His children into Heave...
