Free Will?? really??
Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent. Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent. Is he both able and willing? Then, whence cometh evil? Is he neither able nor willing? Then why call him God? So, here we have a paradox of this nature of God.
And what about this 'free will'? What is really meant here is ‘choice’. It is the choice to love God and follow Him or to suffer eternal torment in the ‘afterlife’. Where is the freedom in this choice? Is it truly giving someone freedom to threaten someone to love and obey you? The "free will" to choose between a pleasure/pain principle isn't much a choice. Love me or die? Accept me and all the massacres, slaughters, torments that I put people through in the Old Testament, including infants, women and innocent bystanders! Accept me and all the eternal torture that I will put anyone, who denies love for me through! Accept me and all the outrageous, unreasonable "miracles" and stories, which seem like fairy tales in the Bible! Accept me and believe that a man died and rose again 2000 years ago and it affects you today because this man was really me coming to contradict the Old Testament version of myself!
The concept of man having a ‘free will’ is in a direct conflict with the idea that God controls everything. Either ‘free will’ is out of God's control or it isn't free. If it is in God's control, then it isn't free and we can't be held responsible. If God isn't in control, why does the Bible say “not a hair falls from our head, or a sparrow from the roof, but he wills it.”? The truth is the ‘Omniscience’ of God and ‘Free Will’ of Man are not compatible and already we not that the ‘Free Will’ has now been exposed as ‘Choice’, although not free, but consequential.
It is a life or death choice, which proves that man has no freedom and that God is in control playing with us like pawns in a chess game--which is contradictory to his all-goodness, his Bible definition-- “God is love”. With love like that, who needs hate?
