So God can read people's minds and know everything they like and what fantasies they've always had?

Question

If that's true, then why would God suddenly after the person dies and goes to Heaven, erase all of it or change their desires against their own will and make them His obedient servant serving and worshipping Him all the time? That's like saying God doesn't care about what I want anymore, he just wants me to do nothing but serve Him, reguarless of what I wanted to do when I was alive.


If God knows exactly what I'm thinking and all the things I still want to do in this day and age, then surely, God has probably prepared a place for me in Heaven so that when I die someday, I get to live out all my fantasies there.


(After I die, I hope to still know what I know now and still have my free will and personal desires and get to fulfill them there.)

Answer 1

God "IS" All In All, so the fantasy is that there is a "you" who is doing anything!

Answer 2

What you don't seem to understand is that he doesn't just want your service after death. He wants your service during your "life" as well. He doesn't care about your fantasies or your wants. You are subservient to God, if you believe in the God that is depicted in the Bible. Your sole purpose is to serve and honor him and show him that you are worthy of returning to his kingdom.

It's a load of rubbish in my estimation.

Oh, supposedly, the love you feel for God once you die will make you unaware of any other desires. In fact, you won't have any. You will only look toward God.

Answer 3

Your placing too many human perspectives on God. Think about it your basically saying that
God is trapped in either being free-willed or not free-willed. But that is a human limitation that I
don't think we should place on God. Remember if God exists he himself created the very
concept of free will which would mean he is above such a limited concept. Now obviously God
does have a certain amount of free will since he wasn't obligated by a reason above him to
create the universe so God does have free will from what you and I would consider it.

God most certainly exercises free will. He willed to create man in the image and likeness of the triune Godhead ("us"). He decided to kill the Hebrews for their unbelief, but changed His mind when Moses interceded. There are many examples in scriptures. Could God do evil? Most certainly He could have chosen that path long ago, but He chose righteousness. He knew all about good and evil before creation, commanding Adam not to learn of differences between good and evil. God had to know about evil since He knows all, but Adam chose to learn about that, and in so doing he performed evil by disobeying God. God was able to see and know evil, and to never practice evil, knowing it would cause His own death according to His own eternal law. OK, so from then on humans became very acquainted with evil, suffering, lack, tragedy, and death. Men have, however, been given ways to not bow to evil, to pursue righteousness through faith. Abraham did it. Why can't you? He didn't have a Bible, and I doubt anyone on earth besides Melchisedec could assist him in figuring it out.

God deserves worship and praise because of who He is, what He has done. He loved men before any man could love Him. God made the initial moves to fellowship with His man He created. The least we owe Him is our adoration. I grew up around a wealthy aunt that I both wanted to be around, and sought often to escape. She was the one with the most painful switch. But she was the one that bought all my high school sports equipment, my shoes, clothes, and sent me off to college, then bought me a car to come home whenever possible. I was able to come to appreciate the harsh upbringing because I realized I needed her input. She is gone now, but I adore the woman. I adore her not only for what she did for me, but for that strong character impressed upon the little boy she loved enough to chasten often.

Lol. Eveyone has different beliefs, and who knows who is right. I think it is silly to think that you can have a large group of people that believe in all the exact same things o_O. You should believe what you believe, and not conform your beliefs to something else.
