Daniel 9-12/Matthew 13+14
The very
essence of free will is that we can choose wisely or choose poorly. If
whatever we choose is correct then free will is a myth. I’m unsure if anyone
believes that they have never done wrong or sinned. I know plenty who believe
in varying degrees of sin, and I know even more who think they decide what is
right and wrong for their own personal morality. So no matter what people must
be allowed to make bad choices. People must be allowed to sin.
If this
works here, now, and on a small scale, is it hard to make the jump to the
eternal? I could make choices today that would forever alter the lives of
millions. That’s just off the cuff and in a moment. I’m just one, insignificant
man. We choose. Some will choose poorly. Some will choose wisely. But if this
idea of free will is to exist along side this idea of right and wrong and
justice then all poor choices are forced to have negative consequences.
