Behold here another way interesting ad edifying topic. Blake ostler continues, in his book, to assert "cathegorical"freedom to all intelligent beings, this is, they have the power to do otherwise at the moment they make whatever their desicion is, at that precise time and place. This, leads him to establish that God cannot be less free than us.
We certainly believe that we will preserve our free will while exalted, hence, we must also conccur that Eloheim has it also. It follows that although he may be more good than us by an endless margin, he still has to have in his power th eoption to do otherwise. if he did not have teh power to err instead of doing right, he would not be morally responsible for His acts, let alone His goodness. If He, because of his exaltation, were to be naturally good by essence, and then, he CoULD NEVER, choose other wise because His nature obliged Him to do good, then, according to Ostler, we might as well thank Water for freezing at 32 degrees. But we dont, why? Because the water didnt choose to do so, it followed it's own nature and couldnt be otherwise. The same happens if we ascribe to God such conceptions. Solution? Then how can we be sure that God will not become suddenly evil? We know that wont happen, but not because it CANT happen. It wont, because our Lord and Father is a Person with Character, you just dont change an eternal character of goodness, also, the Gods supervise in some sense every order in th universe, the Godhead is fundamenta.l to this, for it is a relationship of love(and approval) of Three, hence, if one god were to do otherwise(which we cant conceive) he would not for automatically his intentions will be made known to th eothers who share that relationship of power and true knowledge, and he would loose his power to be able to do so.


What do you think? Do we treat God as water? Or as a loving , free divine being?
