The question, however is, how is that rational, given an Omniscient God who is not only All Knowing, Omnipresent, but also All Powerful? How is it that we can be free to choose disobedience of an All Powerful God? The answer to that question is that we can't. It is rational but flies in the face of some religious dogma.
God created us with a condition that is uniquely, as far as we know, human. The condition is a soul centered human being. The condition includes rules that benefit the soul and conditions that are desires for worldly attractions. Another common term used for the rules that benefit the soul is righteousness.
It is God’s will that we freely choose, it is not God's will that we have to obey the rules of righteousness. If we disobey the rules we were given, we have harmed ourselves but not violated God’s Will.
If an All Powerful God willed that we all obey the rules of righteousness we would logically not have the power to disobey that will and would all be Angels.
The purpose: When tested by attractions, we choose to do what we know is right for our soul, or we fail. When you sin (don’t obey rules of righteousness), you don’t disappoint, or harm the All Powerful (That would be a contradiction of terms); you cause harm to your soul, and that is according to his will, you have chosen your fate as he willed you to do. |
