Does God have free will?
Why does he always make the right choice?
I don't think I should be held to such a godly standard
I think that if I was made better
I too could have free will
And
Always make the right choice
And what's with the flaming sword
Keeping me from full potential
Just use simple logic.
“Right” can be equated to “proper function” or “what works.” Thus the “right choice” would pertain to the same. Thus “I choose” to change the oil in my car periodically because that choice aligns with the “proper function “ of my vehicle.
Why would God then “always” make the right choice? Well, if God is of good character and understands proper function then it is logical to assume that only the right choice makes sense.
Why should we be held to such a godly standard? Well that would depend if God desires to intimately fellowship with sentient living souls, if so then those souls would need to be inclined towards “proper function” lest they be in disagreement and in confrontation with God.
This is why I personally believe that statements like the following are a profound evidence that Jesus is/was exactly whom he said he was...
Joh 3:19 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.
Joh 3:20 For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved.
Joh 3:21 But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.
Jesus taught a doctrine of pure benevolent love, the very opposite of selfish indulgence and called all people to be followers of his doctrine and example. He claimed that the “condemnation” pertained to a rejection of those principles, a rejection of “proper function.”
It makes sense to me.
Just some food for thought pertaining to things I have pondered for many years.
