Re: Topic Drift Alert.
Sorry AdminJar,
My last post went out before I seen this...my bad! Yes God has free will. Just like He chooses not to hear their cries...
Ezekiel 8:18
"...Therefore I also will act in fury. My eye will not spare nor will I have pity; and though they cry in My ears with a loud voice, I will not hear them."

Re: Right On-Right On...
Sorry Yaro, in keeping w/the Topic and appeasing the Admins, I've removed that which didn't pertain to the Free-Will of God.
quote:
That's just it, he didn't have to lay down his life for us! In fact, the very act is meaningless. How can God die? God can be made man and die 100 times and he will be none the worse for wear because he's God! See what I'm saying?
Meanwhile were all left down here suffering.
A FINE example of God excercising Free-Will would be in how He willingly came down and gave His Life for Us. Jesus not excercising His own Free Will, but that of His Fathers. Also, if you do/did read scripture, you'd realize that Jesus also became hungry, tired and everything else me & you suffer from down here. He willigly chose things things to show us His Humanity and because only His Blood could wash away our sins, instead of the sacrificial way the Jews did in the Old Testament.
Luke 22:41-42
And He was withdrawn from them about a stone's throw, and He knelt down and prayed, saying, "Father, if it is Your will, take this cup away from Me; nevertheless not My will, but Yours, be done."
