<<God's will.>> I agreed with you when you said that this is the line that separates us.

We have been given guidelines to live by and a free will to choose whether or not to obey those guidelines. When we strive to do something bad, I believe God empowers us to be successful at our efforts. All of creation will testify against us on judgement day. Our hands will reveal what we did, our eyes will testify what we told them to observe, Our tongue will tell of the things we spoke about, our feet will tell where we had them go, all other creatures will have an opportunity to stand in witness against us. I agree with you that humans can and do behave badly in disobedience to Gods commandments regarding the path we are to follow in this life. It is just that he has given us free will to obey or disobey and then that he also offers judgement and reward/punishment after all is said and done.

When I was a little boy someone sarcastically said, "what have you really got when all is said and done, anyway." My adult answer to that question is, When all is said and done, you have to live with all you've said and done, for eternity.

We do not have the power to not comply with God's will or the idea of an all powerful God is polluted. God is all powerful and just. We are to blame for the bad we do because it is in disobedience to his message to us. He is deserving of the praise for the good we do because, it is only through his grace, that we can have faith and believe in eternal justice and live a life that is in obedience of the commandments.
