Isn’t it incumbent for the giver of a gift to be responsible for whom he gives that gift? And isn’t the giver of a gift blameworthy if he gives gifts to those whom he knows will abuse those gifts? Should we make drugs available to 8 year olds and alcohol available to 6 year olds? Would you give a razor blade to a two year old?

Would you force your children or your spouse to love you or give them a choice? And if you forced them would it really be true love.

He gave it with the full knowledge that it would be abused. This way those that want to worship Him in Spirit and truth can do so and those that choose not to can do so. We would simply be an animal that goes with their instincts if we didn't have a mind soul and spirit. Thus our free will. There are a lot of people that choose to give an 8 year old drugs or razor blades to a two year old. This is called sin. Always was always will be. Today we call it the abnormalities of society. It is still sin.

If God has given free will to you, then you are free to use it for good things.The giver isnt responsible how the gift is used once its given. The responsibility lies with the one who accepts the gift. If you feel like rejecting the gift you can reject free will, but you arent consulted before giving free will. And that shows you'r will is not free but it does appear to you that its free.

God also knew that many righteous will not abuse that gift of free will, and will use it wisely for the benefit of others.
Freewill is not desructive, it enable us to develope to be what we want to be. through this process, God will bless those that is obedience and righteous, and cast out those that abuse this free will.
That is why there will be a judgement day, when all man will be judge according to their deeds and what is in their hearts.

Because he wants us to serve him because we love him not serve because we have to. He truly is a jealous God, he wants our attention and our affection . He basically wants a warm, loving father child relationship with us, not a master servant one. I love that he gave us free will, so I am not blindly following God becaues theres no alternative. I am following him because I have seen the alternatives and have made my choice.
Freewill is a wonderful gift, freewill is freedom. Freedom is what ever human being craves and cherishes. How is that comparable to drugs and alcohol?

God didn't give us free will. It was ours to begin with. Free will cannot be created or else it is not free but dependent on the creator.
And if God gave us free will then God is responsible for our use of it.
The only answer is that our free will existed independent of God and outside of his influence other than that he allows us to use it without his forcing us to obey.
The beauty in this is that we can obey God and give him the part of us that is truly unique.

God gave up free will because he wanted us to be able to chosse him and not have to be force into a relationship with him. and God did take responsible for our abuse of free will. he sent jesus. i don't want to sound like a am preaching to you. but.... Jesus took apond himself the sins of the world. Now the another choice we have.. accept his gift or reject.
you seem to have alot of question on christan and the bible. questioning it, is good it keep you think. hope this helps

No each and every person is in charge for their own movements do no longer blame God as a results of fact one individual freely chooses to pervert his loose will of determination. each and every individual is in charge for is own movements and what he does along with his loose will. a individual can use it to obey God or he can use it to disobey God. that isn't any longer God's fault however the guy who chosen to act. Isn’t it incumbent for the giver of a recent to be in charge for whom he supplies that present? No And isn’t the giver of a recent blameworthy if he supplies presents to those whom he knows will abuse those presents? No could we make drugs obtainable to eight three hundred and sixty 5 days olds and alcohol obtainable to 6 three hundred and sixty 5 days olds? No could you provide a razor blade to a 2 three hundred and sixty 5 days previous? No If I did it somewhat is my fault no longer God's. Did God foreknow that Adam and Eve could sin? sure if so, then he could additionally be conscious of beforehand the excuses why they chosen to sin. And if he knew beforehand what those motives have been, then he ought to’ve corrected them and/or provided them greater info to have self belief him. What greater info could they want. They already talked to God they be conscious of God created them. God advised them no and the stated sure. They used their loose will to disobey. If, case in point, Adam and Eve mandatory greater info that God meant what he stated in the event that they devour of the fruit, then couldn’t God have given them greater info, like he purportedly did to Moses and Gideon who the two doubted? To withhold this mandatory info is to be at fault for doing no longer something to help Adam and Eve of their temptation. no it somewhat is a incorrect end. God did all he ought to for Adam and eve. Their loose will allowed them to decline. If God tries to end some one from using their loose will then that is not loose will yet compelled to do God's will. No God isn't in charge for the thoughts we make.

A lot of us don't abuse it. He didn't want robots so He gave us free will. It's up to us what we choose to do with it.

So we would use it to give our lives, and free will back to him. Very good idea on his part, just think about it... take care.
