To Know their inner self Why didn’t God create man then force freedom on him? Of course, if freedom were forced than it would negate it’s own purpose. God can’t give freedom of choice than compel any action because it would be a counter diction of laws.
It is becomes apparent when we realize freedom of choice means responsibility we are then decision makers. And as decision makers we are able to create as well as change our environment. Mankind must be free to create with limitless possibilities but he must discover that fact for himself. It is on that journey to limitless freedom that he discovers he has access to the Laws of life.
The Laws of life There are two trains of thought on the Laws of life. One is that man invokes the law as he calls them into action. God has granted man the power to create and in doing so man formulates and establishes the law. The other thought is that man simply discovers laws that already exists. That all possibilities exist at all times. Either way, possibilities become realities through the actions of man, not God. God is the granter or provider, man is the initiator or partaker. In nature the clouds provide water for the ground to sprout seeds, it is much as the same relationship between God and man.
There is always the possibility that man, in his ignorance, will breach the law and cause damaging circumstances. The penalty for violating the law is suffering its’ opposite consequence.
Gamble life away If a man should place his entire worth on a losing horse then he indeed would suffer the consequences of despair and poverty. Man makes the decision to succeed or fail, not God or any other principality. It might be through his own ignorance or position he has placed himself in, but ultimately it is man’s own actions that cause failure. There is always someone somewhere willing to demonstrate insufficiently or poor choice making.
Don’t blame it on God! God might have given you the shovel but he didn’t make you hit your friend in the head with it. God does not impose suffering upon mankind nor does he deny it. He allows man to impose his own experience upon himself. Man trends to generalize or label that which he doesn’t understand and in doing so blames God for his misfortune. Because man has freedom of choice he can also choose to place the blame for failure or suffering on someone or something other than himself.
But we know, don’t we? We know from the depths of the soul comes a two fold self capable of good or evil.
