That's really sad. You must really abhor freedom.
The way I see it, if a being needs to enslave beings and crush their will in order to have other beings to praise him, that is a pretty weak being. It's like dog people, who need to have the toadying worship of a lesser creature.

Dave the problem is the only freedom that seems to count here is the carnal freedom to choose between evils..there is another choice you know?

Rom 8:2 For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death.

I am free ..those that are IN Christ are free..truly free..before that we were slvaes to sin.

Rom 6:16 Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness?

.Gal 5:1 Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage.

Now a being who gives his creation a true freedom to love him or not, multiplies his golory when these free beings decide to show their love, and praise his glory. It's like cat people.

Is a man enslaved by sin free?

Yes, it's called free will, and if you weren't afraid of freedom you would think about it. Address my comments on why a divine being would want slaves to toady to him rather than willing subjects.

Is a man enslaved by sin free?

All men are free to choose to do good or to do evil. No man is enslaved to sin. Any man can repent his sin and turn to God for forgiveness.

if my people who are called by my name humble themselves, and pray and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land. (2 Chronicles 7:14)
