If God is all powerful yet he gave us free will and built this world with boundries and the structure of time. Then wouldn't it stand to reason that if he ( god himself) did anything to alter this world that he would break the boundaries he built.Not saying he couldn't influence man or beast even to do his work.

It's a difficult question to answer and I'm sure books could be and have been written about it. These boundaries you speak of are finite in an infinite system. We as humans are bias in our logic because we are unable to even comprehend the possibilities outside of us and our knowledge (Plato's Cave). We assume that if God were to encroach on these boundaries he would break them. Whose to say that he doesn't do it already, in a fashion incomprehensible to our own personal mental or even physical boundaries? I think he could break them without causing a collapse of the whole dimension. I'll even go as far to say present day religion and faith can be attributed to it. Of course this spawns a lot of other problems with free will and the current world conditions. Maybe you are right, maybe altering the world would cause a break in the boundaries. Then again, God being all powerful and knowledgeable, he would know what would be necessary to create a World full of beings with free will before he even made it. This would mean that he wouldn't need to tamper with it, he would have created it fully independent. If we are indeed a finite life system in an infinite universe, that would mean the being that created the finite system could control finite concepts like time. Whose to say God couldn't stop time and piddle-fart around with everything. In conclusion, I have no idea.

I'm sure some Christian is going to tell you about God creating a stone he can't lift or some other nonsense.
I don't belive God interferes. For God to do so would defeat the purpous of creating the Universe. God already had Angels that would follow unflinching or be cast out, if that's all God wanted, he woudn't have created man in the first place.
Faith is worth nothing if you've never questioned.
Yeah, The Devil is trying to make you think to trick you! Quick, don't think! Don't try to understand! God doesn't want you to understand, that's why he gave you the ability to reason!

He did no longer supply us unfastened will as maximum folk outline unfastened will. He gave us a will it relatively is inspired by making use of our fallen nature.

God never interfers with out free will. That's the whole point of free will. If he wanted to break the boundaries, he would have just cast out Satan to Hell in the first place, but He didn't. He's all Love.

God transcends time, space, place, boundaries, and everything else that limits man.
We can only comprehend on a limited basis, so we can never truly know God completely, but a good place to start is the
Holy Bible.
READ, PRAY, BELIEVE!!!!

No. God is not breaking the rules when he acts outside of the boundaries that he built for others because God is outside the rules. What God does is not illegal according to the rules of nature; it is extralegal.

adam and eve had it all.eternal life,the imfamous garden,
God walking with them and of course a free will.God,if
he wanted to could have made us into a bunch of"chatty
patty dolls" robots with no will of our own,but he created
a being that could chose to love him or not.now with man's choice comes reward or consequence just as we
as parents give our children the ability to make choices.
with the fall of man from the garden of eden,God sent
his only son(Jesus Christ) to be the penalty for our sins.
john3:16 says it all,mans separation from God put man
in a condition of mortality and certain death,but our soul
lives on into eternity,either in heaven or hell.

Sometimes we aren't supposed to understand everything we are just supposed to accept it. But I can tell you that everything God does he does because he loves us and wants us to be saved so that we can go to Heaven when we die and spend eternity with him. The devil loves to trip us up with our own minds. Don't let him. Just accept God and let him work the way he does to bring you closer to him.

The only creator I have is my mother. We are the creators of our perceptions. Our realities are our responsibilities. In other words, it's all our faults. And, our potential. I thank all the mothers for allowing us an opportunity to make right...;)
