Free Will

Knowledge and power are different stages of creation.. Lord knows everything also things that we desired... And He knows and writes or wrote. But His knowledge doesn't force us to do.. He only knows what we will do (Really admirable Absolute Knowledge ) .. Also Lord has a power to create wills which acts as free as birds.. Free will is a one kind of creation independent from God Will. Free will desire and than Absolute Will changes it to reality.

We have obvious physical and mental limitations. Free will operates within these boundaries.

But if the free will is obstructed by genetics then it is not actually free and equal. One person's will can be persuaded in a different manner than another persons. So the will is dictated much by the human condition and the environment's effect on that predisposed selection.

Hey, Miss Hep. Tell me about Free Will.

We could not even begin to understand our existence were it not for the operation of cause and effect. But to say that the universe is totally deterministic presents us with a conundrum: What about free will? Does it really exist?

My answer revolves around the existence of God. So, now let me construct the entire house of cards for you to blow down:

Premise: There exists an all powerful God whose name means 'he who causes to become'.
Premise: At some time in the past, he willed himself to become a creator. Premise: The first of his creations was a mirror image also having free will.
Premise: This first creation was given the power to continue creating.

From this I deduce that all things, including more intelligent creatures have been created. And, as a corollary, the intelligent creatures so created have also a measure of free will within their own dominions. As humans we have free will within the constraints of the physical laws of earth.

I realize that simply proclaiming that God willed himself to become a creator raises many questions, not the least of which is 'what did he do in the time before that?' However, we can't afford to stumble over those issues so long as we are unable to articulate the exact nature of space (Just how many dimensions are there, and how do they interrelate?) and time (Is it truly linear?)

The only way we can prove or disprove is not by direct attack on the premises, but by examining the consequences of the argument. I suggest this, though difficult, is possible even for those of us having less than complete intelligence skills.

Interesting link, Rex. Did you notice the trinitarian slant?

Actually I didn't.

It is hard for people once they have gotten into the mind set of the trinity to not be seeing "threes" in everything.

The trinity only intellectually belittles a creative God and forces him down to the level of his creation.

Could you quote the section you saw the trinity in?
