Man has free will, and God can not intervene with that, so, how is God this powerful being, when without our cooperation he has no power.

I guess he is only all-powerful in the sense that he can make rules so strict that even he cannot break them! And so illogical that even he doesn't understand.

God has all power but has given us the gift of free will. He has chosen to give us our own power and what we do with that power will determine our eternity. God doesn't want robots. He wants us to choose him and his power. God's power works through those who love him. When you misuse that power and try to do it on your own it will get you nowhere in the long run.

He can't intervene with our free will because if He did, it would stop being "free"- "free will" is by definition "unconstrained by external forces". One might as well ask why He can't make a square circle.

I think all the answers so far have verified His powerlessness over your life. May as well stop worshiping Him, then. Glory to Man!

Wrongful thought. Do you believe that we are the only beings subjugated to God? He maintains his power in spite of our free will.

Its not that he can't intervene, he just decides not to, so that we can have free will. Really there is nothing God can't do.

tell me, what is will? it's not choice.. it's how you let yourself feel on the outcome of something.. that in itself is the problem, because if God takes your family away, you have to still love him and be greatful.. that is the base of religion, that YOU don't have any power over anything, but how you feel, that is it. believe me or not, but think about it before you judge my answer.

I'm sorry you are so misinformed. God grants us the freedom to be free. He grants us the right to have free will. The Lord giveth and the Lord can taketh away. We exsist because of him and ONLY because he breathed in us the breath of life. He allows us to CHOOSE LIFE or CHOOSE DEATH. Meaning to follow HIM or SATAN. He does not want to FORCE us to worship him. He wants us to do it of our own choosing.

Only in the matters of your heart. One day, Every knee shall bow, and every tongue will confess that Jesus Christ is Lord. Oh boy don't get that one wrong.

Try breathing without air for 5 minutes and then tell me who is co-operating with who.
