“”Rather, we can choose to do according to His will. If we do according to His will then we are being Christ-like, for Christ in his humanity always chose to do according to His divine will.””

Exactly,Dear Brother. Thank You!

.....And EVERY sinful act is of the HUMAN WILL(NOT planned by God),the cause of sin is within man himself. Sin is the Will of man against the eternal law of God. Thus, sin is a voluntary act AGAINST the WILL OF GOD

Yes, absolutely. Couldn't be much clearer than that. If someone who can't swim comes to a public pool and sees a sign "no swimming without a life-guard on duty" and he decides to swim anyway and drowns, whose faut is it? The one who put up the warning or the one who decided to disregard (disobey) it? The people who built the pool did not do so to drown anyone. Drowing people in the pool was not part of the plan!
