If God rests on the Sabbath and does no work doesn't it follow that man should not break a law God observes.
Hahaha, of course! Just like any ruthless dictator would do! Instill fear in the populace, crush their will!
By the way, when you say 'his laws weren't arbitrary' doesn't show why they should be obeyed, other than for fear of punishment. There was no good reason for the law, other than that god felt like it.
So you're saying you can read God's mind.
God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.
