Freewill/life/existence is a bad deal? This is the kind of ingratitude God has to deal with, he worked his fingers to the bone on this universe you know with the amount of fine tuning he had to do. And now you're moaning about it and saying it's a bad deal!
Quote:He didn't allow humanity to have free will, he forced sin on it.
The desired outcome had an unavoidable undesirable result but he cunningly found a way to get around that issue.
Quote:No, he has not. By your own description, he has compelled me to screw myself over and then offered a cure for the disease that he infected me with. That's not grace, that's malice.
You compel yourself if you have freedom of will. And as physically evolved finite you will necessarily have to fall short of 100% divine perfection, seeing as only God has that and people who are God themselves i.e Jesus.
Come all ye faithful joyful and triumphant.
