<<So you don't believe in free will?>> I don't know how you got that from what I wrote but to clarify, I absolutely believe in free will. Us obeying or disobeying God's commandments have nothing to do with God's will. It only has to do with how we choose to live our life in respect of God's guidelines for a good life/bad life. As you said: "We don't have power over God, we do have power over ourselves." At the same time I believe we can pray for God's guidance, wisdom, peace, etc. and God will give it. I also believe that I can even pray for stronger faith. So, ultimately even though I am consciously choosing a path it is God who is powerful enough to allow it to be manifest in my life, or not and that I have no ultimate power even over my own life. I also believe that people who pray for bad things are allowed to have these experiences by God. No one else has any power or God is not all powerful. This is why I feel so strongly that Justice is perfect and that the biggest part of the Justice iceberg is not viewable on Earth. We can push for whatever kind of life we choose and pretty much find ourselves living it. It is all according to God's will because Gods will is All Powerful. Redundant, oh well.
