Re: Got Free Will?
anything done by god at all, even if it's commanding you to take a knife and murder all your family members, is good because god IS good.
But that's just a question designed by you guys to try and entangle God. The fact is that God doesn't order people to kill their family, he has give his words and they shall never pass. A kingdom of everlasting peace.
So the above ignores what Phatboy said Lammy boy, God chooses good always, because only one is good - [that being] God. Therefore - he wouldn't order you to do an evil, because of what PB said - he willfully chooses good, and Christ lived peaceably on earth without ordering evil - ever.
If god is good, then everything he says must be good. Read the entire thread and you will see that this leads very quickly to the notion that god has no free will. If god says it's good because it's good in itself, then the good exists outside of god's own self. This implies that god is not all powerful and omnipotent.
Boy - stop confusing yourself, *slap, wollop* (I'm trying Dan)
Listen, God always has been, therefore - God being good, good has always been.. Lam, I will live my whole life with the choice to murder, but that doesn't mean I'm going to murder and call it good, or order someone to do it. Get back to logic class you lil God-hater.
Anyway....all good is from God, he created all things, and the possibilities thereof.
It's like species, they won't breed outside but it doesn't mean they can't.
