Lucifer, an angel, had free will. That's mainly the reason why he was able to rebel against God.

Creating people with no free will would be tantamount to training pets or assembling robots to do just whatever He wants.

hmm... if he did had free will, where did the concept of 'rebellion' and 'evil' that he suddenly thought of came from?

Lucifer's concept of rebellion was a result of the free will that all the angels had. With free will, Lucifer could have thought of everything that he wanted to think of which included rebellion. For a fact, he is the godfather of coup's. Evil started when he thought and planned his rebellion against God.

so evil did come from god however indirectly.

but how can the concept of absolute good produce evil?

a father could not be held liable for his son who has killed someone...

[gareb]

and is it the same way around?

can we be blamed for original sin?

[gareb]

still, the father is all-powerful, all-knowing and all-good.

will he let us commit mistakes even if he knows that we will? will the good in him purposefully inhibits himself from doing anything to prevent this evil? not doing anything is a choice by itself.

he can do anyhing. he can change time and space at will. he knows everything; the past, the future and the present. and he is the absolute concept of good.

he knew that humanity will fall. but why did he let it be when he knew that he could have prevented it at the first place. why did he let evil enter the scene when he could have prevented it and by letting it in, started his own agonies and humanity's.

free will ( the bible's version of it ) i believe is blotched. so many questions of the nature of god and of how his mind works and how things came to be according to the concepts ans stories presented in the bible.

it is not enought that someone will tell us "that's the way it is. do not question how god thinks." for us to truly believe in his existence, we have to fathom the way he thinks and scrutinize the order of the universe according to what the bible ( or any other creationist literature for that matter ) says.

if He always wants it His way, we won't have free will then.

For Christians, Jesus Christ died on the cross to pay for the whole human race's sins, that including original sin.
