Are our minds so small that we can not put together God's billion piece jigsaw puzzle? If we do not have free will, won't God be bored of us? Is Earth not God's ant farm?

I man do agree with you fellow. And here is what I think is happening here Vader. God gave us life and free will, but, he kept the rights to punish us for every sin.
He the free will, to take what ever action he wants, as long as he is aware of the consequences of those actions.. I guess punishments are given accordingly.
What I mean by punishments is hell and heaven. Well, we all face them right here in this life time only. It's my belief, anyhow, everyone is free to think as he/wants.
Am tired of telling my hubby the same, if everyone was like him or like his mother, I'd go and commit Hara Keri from sheer boredom, no variety!

i believe that God did give us freewill so we can go forth and make our own opinions and decisions. I also think that God takes the reign in certain situations.
its not that our minds are so incredibly small (excuse this corney moment) but its whats in our heart that we believe is right. and whatever we interpret, doesn't mean its right or wrong. its just what we understand and how we look at it.we're all in "God's movie." its His movie. His life. The director. and we are just the measly cast, eventually going to do what He wants us to.

We truly have free will. We can see the entire "big picture" in God's Word. All we have to do is pray and God will open our eyes to it. The Bible clearly states the truth is hidden from no man.

Why belittle God by calling us his ant farm?
We are loved with an everlasting love. The ant farm keeper does not love his ants. He does not cry over their problems, nor does he find a way to turn himself into an ant to lead them to a true understanding of himself.
No, we are not his ant farm. Yes we do have free will.

God the Father is a Father, He wants His children to succeed,
He does not want His children to do what He says, because he said it, but because they believe and trust him.
How many of you would have a child, that you would lie to just to see the child fail, or would you tell your child that you have his best interest at heart, and you are the only one in the whole world that loves them for who they are.

Well I fail to see how free-will and an omniscient god can co-exist...That's one puzzle I can't put together.

Every little thing we do every day proves that we have free will. Free will and choices are the same thing. So every litttle decision you make is free will. It's not rocket science you know.

We have free will.
But we are conditioned and brain-washed so that we cannot use our will freely.
It is the man made laws, religions, customs rulers, dictators, priests, press who limit the god given free will.
It is in the individual's mettle whether the individual can break the chains which bind him/her. I don't say break all the laws.
Give unto god what is God's and unto Caesar .......

If it were God's ant farm, things would be a tad bit different wouldn't you say? We are the Empire's ant farm!
