Free will, like any other concept doesn't have to be absolute. And yes, I do believe that many of the wrong decisions we make God truly does not want for us to make that choice, but leaves us to choose as we wish.
The problem you have is that you're trying to apply your limited thinking (your ability to process and reason isn't infinite) to God...so because you cannot conceptualize ah "how" or "why"...you deem it impossible for God to allow us to do something s/he DOES NOT want us to do. Why would s/he allow it? Because there are other contingencies already in his/her plan. |
