>>> I’m asking why its necessary for you.

well, i’m slightly confused about what you think that I think is necessary.... is it freedom itself?

If you are asking me why freedom is necessary for me,
my answer is that it is not.

God’s grace is sufficient for me.

That does not mean however that I don’t desire freedom, because I do... and I would hope that I would be willing to die for it for others. It’s part of human nature to yearn for freedom... look at atheists... they even desire to be free from God. Unfortunately they fail to understand that freedom is not possible without Him.

I’m very specifically asking why you think there is a need to obtain your freedom from another entity. I’m not asking if you feel there is an entity that grants you freedom, and I’m not asking about your religious beliefs.

I’m asking why you don’t think that freedom is essentially a part of you that cannot be granted to you by someone or something or God.

Why is it necessary that God is the one that grants you freedom?

Why is it not possible that you simply have freedom and that you didn’t need to get it from anyone? Why is it necessary?

And if its not necessary and essential to your existence, then what is the need of God?

Check out this video of a Marty Robbin’s song about Christ.

Before anyone saw it that way.
