“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.
There are some things that don’t have to be written in Scripture for a person to understand about right and wrong. This is one of those things.
Everything in our lives has a governing authority that makes rules. Our family, job, city, state, federal governments etc. Most have a punishment when we violate the rules. Some rules provide for rewards.
Everybody has to abide by the rules including the entity who makes the rules for it to be fair.
God is no different. He has made rules for our lives and has determined punishment and rewards depending on how well we follow those rules.
One of those rules allows us to have free will to make decisions, good or bad, in our lives. If He violates any rules He has made, including our free will, He is a liar and can’t be trusted about anything He says.
How could anyone believe His promise to forgive our sins and raise us from the dead if they thought He broke any of His rules.? BVB
