IS IT "FREE WILL" OR IS IT REALLY "DISOBEDIENCE"?

Christians,

You say ...."So, yes, we are free to do our own will. God created us with free will... ".

It is incredible to see how many, if not all, Christians (of all denominations) believe that God gave man free will.

....that the One Creator God would have said to man that He gives him the freedom to do according to one's own will, one's own interests, to worship the gods of one's choice, to establish for oneself what it good or evil.

If a master gives freedom to a servant, the servant is no longer under obligation to the master's ways and , being "free", is no longer subject to the master's corrections or punishments....since the servant is now "free" to do his own will.

In God's Word, in the scriptures of the Bible, it is clearly repeated many times, in both the Old Testament and in the New, that man is commanded to do the Will of the One God. This means that God does not give "free" will to man but instead commands obedience to His Word, which, if not followed, will result in death.

God commanded Adam and Eve not to take of the tree of knowledge of good and evil.

In other words , He did not give them the freedom to take of this tree, nor to establish what is right in their eyes...their will.

God did give them the freedom to take of the trees that God established, according only to His Will, that were good for food.

...it is clear here that man is given freedom by God only for that which God establishes to be good.

It is Satan that deceived man to desire to be free from the Will of God, so that man would be free to do his own will.

Man , and Satan, have redefined this DISOBEDIENCE to the Will of the One God as "freedom" for one's own will, justifying one's self desires and interests....including even the choice of religions (christianity included).

Today, this disobedience of God's Way is relabelled and advanced as the belief in "freedom of rights", human rights, religious freedoms, sexuality freedoms, speech freedoms, etc

.......which President Obama is professing to be the "human spirit", the "mark of liberty", the "light of freedom"....the XES.

I hope that you will not be put off by the extremism of this truth but take a look at the signs with a mind of reference that Christ is the Only Way of Life and that The One Creator God is the Only reference point, whom we are to serve.
