Does God have free will?

Question

One of the many recurring theme I've seen about god is that god is forever unchanging. Another way you could put it is that god is limited to what it has done before and what it can do according to the bible. It is predictable. Free will is something that us humans say we all have, that it is the thing that, some christians say, the thing that ultimately will determine who goes to h**l and who goes to heaven. So, does god has free will or not? If good comes from god's very nature and god is forever unchanging because it cannot contradict its own nature, then it really sounds to me like god has no free will.

Answer 1

HE DOES WHATEVER HE WANTS...HE HAS NO RULES...HES PERFECT...IT DOESNT EVEN APPLY TO HIM...

Answer 2

God doesn't exist so your question is moot.  But, to entertain your logic, I would say no, god doesn't have free will.  Since god knows what he will do, as he is omniscient, he has no free will.  And, since he knows what we will do before we do it, we don't have free will either, because our futures are already set.  

Unless god isn't omniscient.. and if that's the case, god doesn't exist... which is also moot.. because he doesn't exist to begin with.  

Answer 3

This xtian/judeo/islamic god has three million different scripts to follow so it appears he doesn't what to do or what it ever did.

Answer 4

God is all powerful, but he chooses not to use his power to impede our free will.

Answer 5

God doesn't exist. Stop believing this superstition.

Answer 6

No.

God is listening to voices in His head coming from people praying. He is obligated BY LAW to listen and respond to each and every prayer. If He does not He will first get a warning, then a fine, then serious jail time (90 days).

If He could use free will He would abandon the whole thing and go fishing. But He would be found out because people know where He lives now.

When God created prayer He doomed Himself to the h**l of constant mental irritation. He will be hearing voices of people in His head until all people finally perish. Whining, selfish, boring voices from mostly ugly old fat people, sexually frustrated spinsters, drunks and pimply adolescents.

Healthy, good looking and confident people rarely bother God with prayer.

Answer 7

No because humans invented God and God exists in our imagination. Therefore, we do what we want to him.

Answer 8

sounds to me like your logic would be correct except your premise is false.  there is no god.

Answer 9

no

he deosn't . he gave it all to us . because he loves us sooo much .

and of course , he send his son to die for our sins , because he loves us . then he send his holy prophet muhammed to kill us all !

and he also didn't forget , before he gave us all his free will , to create satan .. just for the fun of it . and to give him a reason to send some of us to h**l .

but he loves you . and he gave you free will . his own free will .. because he loves you .

but if you used it against him , your A$$ belongst to h**l . forever .

but... you know ...  he loves you !

believe it or not..he is up there ..without free will...because he loves you . that's why he never answereda prayer .he can hear you , he can see you ,he feels bad about it ... but he can't do anything ( sorry ) because he gave all his free will to me and you .

so , let's work on this together .. I'll pray to you .. and you pray to me .. and let us all pray to each other . and answer each other's prayers  . even for one day in the year and call it "prayer day" .. just to remember that God loves us sooo much .. that he gave us his own free will .

and he is up there ... without any of it !

Answer 10

The Bible is God's Word.

He has given us His Word so that we can know Him.

He has said about Himself that He freely wills. He answers to no one.

Answer 11

I love it when genius' ask questions about God.  Then these "God guru's" answer as if they know everything about God.  Here's a free lesson, God doesn't exist.  I find it hard to believe that there are really that many people out there that think there's a man in the sky that created everything.  Brilliant.  And the bible?  People still take that ridiculous book seriously.  God created the earth in 7 days huh.  Oh yeah, perfect.  If you're good you go to Heaven in the sky, if you're bad you go to h**l down below.  How to people actually believe this.  Heaven and h**l are fictional places created by PEOPLE.  Stop believing in nonsense.  

Answer 12

of course God has free will he is of Most High. You would get confuse when you try to use logic to figure out God, for he is not of this world so logic doesn't apply to Him when figuring out what God does and what his will is you think with your spiritual well-being. God loves you and just a little note when saying God, please use the G in a capital letter.  

Answer 13

God can do whatever He pleases.

And He gave us one of the greatest privilege by giving us free will also.
