Ok.... so free will?
Explain the Tower of Babel story.
God decides humans are getting too big for their britches and comes down from heaven and interferes with human free will and changes the future.
Why did God choose this instance to override our "free" will?
Why can't he do it again?
God commanded humans to go out and multiply over the Earth. Building the Tower of Babel defied that order and directly went against God and His plan. They were kicked out of that area because they disobeyed God just like Adam and Eve got kicked out of Eden.
Eden, if not a metaphor, is another interesting example. God knew they were going to eat from the tree. Why put it there in the first place? Why tempt humans? Creating heaven on Earth wasn't enough?
Free will. God doesn’t want us to be robots on autopilot. He sets laws that are for our own good, but we have to ability to disobey. But those actions will have consequences because those choices exposes us to sin. We were created in His image, so we are creative and intelligent beings. Did God know we would eat from the tree? He definitely knew it was a possibility. You are forgetting a major factor…satan. Just like we fell, satan fell first. Satan and his adversaries despise humans. He sees us as cattle and wants to exterminate us. Angels also have free will. So what I believe is that although God knew we could fall and rebel against Him, He thinks we are worth it. And was willing to become human and die a horrific and humiliating death to save us from the darkness and sin that satan tricked our forefathers and continues to trick us today.
If you need prayer for anything please let me know. It’s not up to me to change your heart, that’s up to God. As long as satan rules the earth, there will always be suffering and death. God is “slow to anger”. He is hoping and waiting for His children to come around so that we all can be saved and adopted into the Kingdom, to rule and reign on earth for eternity basking in His presence. Paradise.
