I think He's all-powerful, omnipotent and omnipresent and that His ways are not our ways.

Giving us free will makes things interesting.

Beyond that, I don’t know.

“Giving us free will makes things interesting.”

Chapter and verse, please.

According to the Bible (check Romans 6) we are slaves to sin. Where do people get the idea that the will is exempt from that?

Don’t confuse the ability to make choices with free will. Those choices will be made with a will which has been corrupted by sin and is therefore not free.

Even Christians still battle with the old sin nature, however much we would wish otherwise.

metmom, I’ve included you here as I’ve seen from your posts that you also question the idea of free will.
