Can god use his power to make free will and no evil coexist?

Question

basically if god is all powerful ..can he make a world whe there is free will but no evil?
if he cant...that would mean heaven has either: sin or no free will...
if he can...then why does our world have evil?... that would mean god WANTS evil around..
explain you answer...

not to mention ..the first one would mean god is not all powerful
but the second one would mean god is not all loving, because he basicaly would be responsible for the existance of all suffering a sin

it is not a logical impossibility...if he is ALL POWERFUL then he could make it completly impossible for any action than you can perform to have an evil result. he could literally make murder as impossible as breathing concrete...you could try but if would not work...i dont say that god has limited my free will because i CANT breathe concrete..its just not possible...not even an option....

Answer 1

THIS IS THE AMIN PROBLEM WHEN TALKING OF GOD.WHY WHY WHY?HE CAN AND HE CANT BUT THE TRUE QUESTION IS DOES HE EVEN EXIST

Answer 2

He's working on it as we speak.

Pretty soon, a bunch of people are going to disappear off the face of the Earth. Everyone is going to think that aliens are responsible, and those left will be told that they are the wise, lucky ones, who were willing to abandon the ridiculous ways of "religion".

But really, it's going to be what most people know as the Rapture. Those who have accepted Jesus will be with the Lord, and some time after that, there will be an entirely new world, as it was meant to be.

As for why God allows evil in the world, it was best explained to me this way:

God didn't "create" evil, because there's no such thing. Just as there's no such thing as being colder than no heat, or darker than no light, there's no evil more evil than having no good. "Evil" is describing the abscence of good. And if you can have good, it would come in various levels, especially if people have the free will to decide how good they are.

If you're asking why he lets bad things happen, it's again, because we have free will. God didn't say "I'm going to let you get hit by a drunk driver today" but someone made the decision to drive drunk.

Answer 3

Finally! A God-related question that isnt completely ridiculous! Thank you so much.

The answer is, no. Free will does not exist where evil is not permitted. By definition free will means that the individual may choose what to do, feel, think, believe, or say. If any force (God included) places any restrictions or conditions on free will, then it is not free will; it is at best restricted will or limited will.

If one accepts the idea of a single God, then I think that one also accepts the idea of an omnipotent God. Obviously, an omnipotent God COULD banish evil. However, if life is a proving ground for moral strength and character, then granting free will would be an excellent way to weed out defective humans who are unworthy for entrance into an afterlife, should one exist.

A better question is, why would God wish to create us at all? Surely, He/She/It is not bored. I honestly am not sure why human beings are here on earth. It may be that we are no different from animals and have merely evolved from primordial materials and through the strength of our minds have risen to the top of the heap, so to speak. Or, it may be that God is testing us as suggested above. It could be both, or could be neither. As humans, I don't think we can know.

Good Luck!

Glad I could help!

Answer 4

God doesn't want evil around; evil comes from a different source and is essentially, in fact precisely, rebellion against His will and the consequences of it.

This world is a place where good and evil are refined and separated, like metal being extracted from ore, leaving dross.

In heaven free will and no evil will coexist. That's why nothing evil can be admitted there; why we have to repent of all sin and accept the cleansing of Jesus' blood in order to go there.

Everything else will be burned up in hell.

Answer 5

God made humans with Free will
Humans choose Evil.
Every human since the first two were born into evil.
You can choose between evil and good, God Is not going to do it for us.
And God did create evil but he made Ud Good, we choose evil instead of staying good
heaven doesnt have evil because God is clean, the only pure thing like ever. WE can choose purity by becoming a christian and beliving jesus died for us meaning that God forgives us and we are able to be around him..

Answer 6

This is similar to asking the question, "Could God make there be no colors and yet there would still be yellow?"

It is a logical impossibility, a nonsense question. There is no "free will" without the power to choose all options, one of which is evil.

Answer 7

God wants us to have a choice, he doesn't want to force us to love him because that is not real love, nor does he want to program us to love him because uncontentious love is not real love either.

If we had free will, but absolutely no capability to do evil, then we wouldn't really have a free will. That would be to say, "You can chose, if you so wish, to do this righteous thing............" but there would be no option B, so thus no true freedom of choice. That is the same as to have a democratic election ballot with just one name on it and call that a "fair election'.

On earth, we make the choice of whether we will embrace righteousness (the Holy Spirit) or self-righteousness (the sinful nature). In the afterlife, we are consumed by either of those, depending upon what we embraced on earth. Hence in heaven we will have chosen, essentially, to be consumed by righteousness and have no association with wickedness.

Answer 8

Beware of your reasoning against the Will of God, which changes not a dash or a dot in His etrnally perfect creation, but it only darkens your soul.
If there is no difference between good and bad for us to choose, then what is the use of free will? In reality, all the creation of the One True God is good. As for man, good is the choice according to God's Will and bad is only the reverse.
Other creatures don't have the free will to make choice, what is evil for them? Let us learn constantly, think deeply and live thankfully our noble life.

Answer 9

I will explain what I can, from a Christian perspective. Forgive me if I leave things out.

God is all-powerful.
God has given humans free will to either obey or disobey Him; to do good or evil.
Sin, and resulting evil, entered into the world because of the sins of the first people, and the tendency to do evil has passed genetically into all of mankind as a result.
That is, the first humans chose to disobey, and we have been under a curse ever since. We learn to sin "better" as we grow older.

The punishment for sin is death.
God wanted us to be with Him, but He hates sin. If he were to merely punish us for our sins, we would all be dead.

Instead, God decided to punish HIMSELF for our sins. Not only does this show that God wants us, as individuals, but it shows His incredible love towards us.
Jesus Christ, the Son of God as well as God the Son, was God. He was born as a man and was punished by torture and death as a substitute for every human's sins.

Accepting the fact that Christ did this for us means that we are released from the curse of sin, because He became the curse for our sake.
Accepting Christ's death also means that we enter into God's family, and it entitles us, through no good works of our own, to enter heaven.

Moving on to your question about whether heaven has no free will... Heaven will, as far as I know, have free will.
God does not want mindless drones to serve Him; otherwise He would have prevented the first humans from sinning against Him.
Instead of removing their capacity to do evil, He chose to make a way for them to be forgiven and reconciled with Him.

That way was the death of Christ.

Everyone in heaven will WANT to serve God. After all, it isn't like serving a unfair or unjust human being. Instead, we will serve the very same God who loved us enough to save us from our own sin and death by dying in our place Himself.

Our present world will continue to have evil until the return of Christ, when the world will be judged for its evil.
God is not ignorant of the fact that there is evil, but He is allowing us a chance to be forgiven.
People who have already accepted Christ will not be condemned, because Christ was already condemned for our sake.

This was long, but I hope it made sense. It is also important to note that Christ rose from the dead; this seemed not to fit into the body of my answer, so I am stating it here.

God bless.

Answer 10

My criticism begins with the coolest judgment itself in the previous I even attain the question. loose will is an allusion because guy has the skill to make possibilities although the lack of ability to regulate each and every thing (which contains anther's will imposed onto him.) that does no longer inevitably recommend forced not person-friendly artwork being that the recommendations is the most to all habit. With that pronounced, parasitical organisms on my own are evidence that loose will isn't a God-given properly to each and each and every dwelling ingredient. As for the difficulty of evil... i do no longer keep in recommendations what precisely the theory is yet i trust "evil" is an absolute necessity to each and every thing in existence. existence vs. lack of existence, happiness vs. sadness, exhilaration vs. torture - all of them stability one yet another. stability is the starting up of each and every idea conceivable.

Answer 11

God is not all powerful. He can't even get the religions to agree on God. The problem is that God was created by ancient men. And now that there ancient beliefs come into conflict with human decency. religion encourages the followers to ignore it.
