Perplexing question: does God have free will? What is at the top? Does His nature define His actions, or does His choice define His nature? Is that a rational question? Choice is always based upon something, so His being defines His actions; there is nothing else for Him to base His will to action (for Him, will is action) upon. Humans too; we can do nothing except what our nature leads us to do. So, what in God's nature leads Him to create creatures with the capacity for disobedience? What in God's nature leads Him to create that which rebels against His nature? Why create willful beings? Why does God want for there to be evil outside Him? Why does He will creatures who will against Him?
