I agree with all your posts about God’s omnipotence. It has nothing to do with what I have said.

Just as God gives rules for our lives, He has given rules to Himself He cannot violate. Our freewill is one of those rules.

Our lives are like a journey down a path. All along the path there are Ys. At the end of one of those paths at each Y is His Son. It is our free will to choose which path we take . If we choose the wrong path, he will put another Y in the path always giving us a choice of a path to His Son.

He cannot put His Son at the end of each path at a Y, it would no longer be our choice and He would violate our free will.

This is not a poor pathetic God. It is a righteous God, fair to all, supplying a path to His Son as long as we are alive. BVB

“Just as God gives rules for our lives, He has given rules to Himself He cannot violate. Our freewill is one of those rules.”

No disrespect intended, but I’m really not interested in your opinion of God. Do you have a Scripture reference for this assertion?

“Our lives are like a journey down a path. All along the path there are Ys. At the end of one of those paths at each Y is His Son. It is our free will to choose which path we take . If we choose the wrong path, he will put another Y in the path always giving us a choice of a path to His Son.”

“This is not a poor pathetic God. It is a righteous God, fair to all, supplying a path to His Son as long as we are alive.”

So now your the judge of what is fair?

This sound enlightened, to the human ear, but it’s really empty words, unless God said it somewhere in Scripture.
