The right response here is to ask "what just happened to your freedom?" All you mentioned is worth something only within the context of being free, having the ability and freedom to choose. What you are describing here, in my opinion, is to ask God to curtail that freedom to make you the better Christian. I don't think he intends to do that for us. I mean of course that that freedom is tempered by your intellect and good intentions and your choice of your character, who you want to be in this life, and in your relationship to God. I disagree that God is offended by you exercising what he gave you as long as that is not abused. Nor that he is surprised by the difficulty people will have dealing with his reality, "being offended", given the realities and limitations of existence of this physical creation. After all, if you will, it is all built in and for reasons that we are not completely familiar with and are not privy to.<br />Qmannoreply@blogger.com
