For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?

Mark 8:36 KJV

(or what shall it profit a woman?)

[If there really were a God then why did he create Miley Cyrus?]

And here’s your answer:

Matthew 13:38 King James Version (KJV)

38 The field is the world; the good seed are the children of the kingdom; but the tares are the children of the Wicked One;

(capitalized for effect; I’ll leave it up to the readers to figure out who that is).

“God created things which had free will. That means creatures which can go wrong or right. Some people think they can imagine a creature which was free but had no possibility of going wrong, but I can't. If a thing is free to be good it's also free to be bad. And free will is what has made evil possible. Why, then, did God give them free will? Because free will, though it makes evil possible, is also the only thing that makes possible any love or goodness or joy worth having. A world of automata -of creatures that worked like machines- would hardly be worth creating. The happiness which God designs for His higher creatures is the happiness of being freely, voluntarily united to Him and to each other in an ecstasy of love and delight compared with which the most rapturous love between a man and a woman on this earth is mere milk and water. And for that they've got to be free. Of course God knew what would happen if they used their freedom the wrong way: apparently, He thought it worth the risk. (...) If God thinks this state of war in the universe a price worth paying for free will -that is, for making a real world in which creatures can do real good or harm and something of real importance can happen, instead of a toy world which only moves when He pulls the strings- then we may take it it is worth paying.”

I can assure you 100% there is a God.

God is Love. Love you have for a family member, pet, spouse, etc... You can't prove it, but you know it's there. You felt it in your heart all your life. By the way, that's God's thumb print it's yours if you take action also known as “The Will” . Something unfortunately most churches just do not teach. No thanks to the “Clergy Response Teams”. Side issue....

Look I've been in Miley’s shoes many moons ago. When my Conscious was asleep, and I was “of” this world instead of “in” it. Like Miley I thought the same thing even though I never read the Bible and was extremely ignorant.

Does this mean I'm holly than Thou now? Good grief NO..., and Never. I'm guilty of messing up often. However, now I get on my knees, pray and ask for forgiveness. My flesh sometimes will get the best of my heart and overcome my mind. In other words it's the same thing that is happening to Miley now. No one on Earth is perfect in the Biblical sense. We are all fallen beings.

Anyhow, why in your opinion would God only create human beings that DID NOT HAVE free Will? If they were all Angels, then we would all be puppets, drones or robots. What would be the point of that?

There are natural laws like gravity. ANYONE can fall off a cliff or a building. It does not matter how good or bad or innocent a human being. Go

Then there is free will. The decisions we make as Sentient Beings IS what matters. There are always going to be problems. What matters is how do respond to it? So understanding that, then you know we are all being tested. We just forgot.
