God owes us nothing and we all need to on our knees in gratitude. It's just a free will thing. Did he want mind control or for His children to love Him and come to him wiilingly. It takes a very strong and secure person to let go knowing that he will have loses and that people will make mistakes with growth. It would have been much easier with predetermination but I don't see this in scripture before salvation. Afterwards I'm right there in agreement with you.
It takes a very strong and secure person to let go and...Cindy, I say this in Christian charity, perhaps you should return to Scripture and read with the idea in mind that God is not a strong and secure person.
God is creator of heaven and hell, time and space, men, angels, animals and satan, and all are subject to His will.
If you go around thinking God is like a strong and secure person, that's the god you'll follow.
