A Logical Question For All Christians by Gabriel27: 9:56pm On Jan 12, 2018
Sometimes i wonder, if God being so perfect, he knows the end from the beginning, created all men to worship him, but still created men with the ability to look away from his ways, i mean why was man not creted in such a way he would not be able to think God does not exist in the first place.Just so damn curious.

How would that please God?

Which would you prefer ;
A wife that is like a robot who yield to everything you say , with no mind of her own. When you say come she comes, sleep she sleeps, don't talk she won't talk?
OR
The one that obeys you and loves you because she appreciates you?

That is the kind of worship that pleases God. When you worship Him willingly not programmed kind of worship.

Here's the implication of both scenarios :

1) The wife only does what you ask her to do, hence, logically, she cannot possibly displease you (without you causing her to displease you)

Or

2) The wife is free to do whatever she wants independent of what you want in spite of the fact that you have the power to make her do exactly what you want. In this case, you can't blame her for some something different from what you want because you had the power to make her do so and chose not to. Let's illustrate with a small scenario: imagine a man who buys a bird and a bird cage. On getting home, the man decides not to put the bird in the bird cage then goes to work. If, when he gets back from work, he finds that the bird has flown away, should we blame the bird for flying away or the man for not putting his bird in a cage?

If you can communicate with the bird and the bird knows the implication of flying away, more especially, if all the bird needs is provided, the bird would be blamed for disobeying his creator and to follow the suggestions of a creature like it.

How can a zombie or a will - less wife bring happiness to a husband ?

A wife who has a mind of her own and obeys you is much more appreciated, but would be condemned if she commits adultery with another man , especially when she lacks nothing.
Obedience and disciple is what God wants from us.
Jesus and His Father are one because he is obedient to his Father and does nothing outside His will.
That is what God wants from us and not a worship from a will- less man.
