A free will and rehabilitation are two separate issues. If one will not conform to the Father than rehabilitation is fruitless. Their has to be a core of righteousness and of all truth. Once you question God you are in trouble....... In effect when you do so you are questioning yourself and your own existence. You or I cannot be better than the Father (the creator of all life)...... Why should the good and sincere suffer because of some who wish to question God and his authority. Rehabilitation will never happen unless the person is willing to submit thats Free Will......... Again freedom of choice (free will) is what God created he does not wish for fake love only true love and that is something you cannot teach it has to come within. Let's say Dan committs a mortal sin(you pick the sin). Yes you had free will to committ the sin, but let's say in a moment of weakness you committ the sin and die, before having a chance to atone for it. Mark the above simply falls into the same Questioning God..................... Also you should know from my post's I am firmly against Judging others that falls into that category....... For myself I choose to accept my sin nature and lean on God to atone my sins.... I find that it makes me more aware when I do something wrong........ Others may not have that experience simply because they wish not to submit their sin nature to the Father and seek answers only with regards to themselves and what they believe is right. This will never work since we are far from perfect......... What seems right for you may not be right with regards to myself. This is a very complicated issue and I would rather ask God to show me the truth SINCERELY and submit my sin to him (asking for forgiveness) thats a good first step in seeing things from a different view point.......... Questioning God is easy but questioning yourself is much harder to do without a core of authority within ones life. Again my thoughts Alan
