Ok, I think that free will makes us separate from God because, at the simplest level, if we were the same as God how could we have a different will?

 

My thought is: "Who says they are different? What if human will IS the same as God's will? - FREE."

 

Can God choose NOT to love? Does God have free will? Is "Will" something that is objectively possitve or negative or is it a neutral state that gives the ABILITY to choose?

 

If God is indwelling in me, as a separate being, then parts of me can be unGodly and parts of me Godly dependent on my choices and behaviors.

 

I'm not quite sure what that means, but it did make me think:

 

1) Are the "parts" of you that are Godly (good) only Godly because God makes it so?

2) Are the "parts" of you in which God does NOT indwell bad because of God's not dwelling there?

3) Wouldn't God's indwelling force God's will upon you DESPITE God being seperate from you?

4) How is it POSSIBLE for God to indwell in humanity and still call humanity SEPERATE? Either way, God is IN creation.

 

These are questions my hubby and I have been pondering too. I'm really enjoying discussing them.
