Would proof of God destroy free will?

I don't think such "proof" would change a thing as far as Christians are concerned.  I already have all the proof I need....why would stimulating one of my five senses change anything?   If I know that electricity is running through a bare wire, do I need to touch it so that I might verify it with my physical senses?  For me, it would not change things one iota.

There are two ways to answer this.\n\n1. If God is all powerful, then there is nothing he can't destroy. To create something like this would be logically impossible, so he can't do it.\n\nIf you think an all-powerful God should be able to do even the logically impossible go to the second answer:\n\n2. Yes, God can create something so indestructible that even he cannot destroy it. Then he can destroy it.

I would say yes\nBut God wants Free-Will of choice........so in turn you make up your own mind.

I would rather not make a decision at all.  God gave us all free will and said to not judge others.  Therefore, I couldn't take way the free will of others or judge them and their mistakes by sending them back to start all over.

So you seem to be arguing for a purely deterministic illusion of free will?  Free will as an emergent property of  a net mass of neurons?  Is this an argument about "nature vs. nurture"? \n\nI'm not sure what your argument or question is, actually.  But I would say that your initial question is false, or at least unsupported. If you are saying that my illusion of free will is god's gift or something, then I disagree.\n\nAtheists generally tend to be more rational about most things.

No. How can an imaginary being have free will? There is no god so you will just have to accept:\n\n1. Mortality\n2. Responsibility\n3. Science

Because free will is all about choices. God know before a person chooses but HE doesnt choose for that person...its up to the person...People are finite, GOD IS INFINITE. That's what makes HIM GOD!!! And if you dont get it...be not dismayed...neither do I...but I believe and have faith in HIM who created heaven and earth.  He wants our love and He wants us to choose HIM...ptl

I would challenge the person who answered that it will keep you out of heaven.  Where does it say that in the Bible?  \n\nNote: I am not endorsing suicide.  I don't think it's a good idea at all to destroy what God has given you responsibility for, and I would advise against it.

No. Religion is based on faith, not proof. If you were to prove the existence of God, the entire universe would spontaneously vanish in a great puff of logic.

No one can say for sure, for proving Gods existence would remove the need for faith. Without faith God does not exist.\nThe concept of Gods was created by every culture independent of each other. Can the whole of humanity be wrong?

Free will... isn't an excuse to not take responsibility for your own actions.\nYou thoughts and actions ARE yours.  If you believe you are completely controlled by the universe, the universe would not have you ask this question as it would be useless.

If you wanted someone to really answer your question seriously, why did you make it so long?\n\nJust reading the first few questions, which is all I had the energy for, God gave us free will.  If you want to go and rape someone, God cannot stop you else he has revoked our freedom of free will.  It only makes sense.

If evil exists and god is against evil then god cannot be all good all knowing and all powerful at the same time.He either doesn't know about evil, doesn't have a problem with evil, or can't do anything about evil. \n\nThis is not about free will either, as if god is all knowing he would have known about evil before it happens, If he were all powerful he would be able to stop the evil, and were he all good he would not have created people who were going to do evil in the first place. \n\nThere is no way arround it, such a god would have created the universe for evil to be in it. He would have wanted evil. Thankfully there's polytheism.

God doesn't make mistakes lol! Think about this... would you want someone doing something for you or in your name if they didn't want to be doing it?? \nAlso, if we didn't have free will we would pretty much just be robots. Where is the beauty in that?

There is no "proof" of God. Do you know the definition of FAITH?

It is not sensible to believe that if you once recieved Christ and then want to back out that you can't.  Why anyone would want to, I don't know.  The very idea of free will must give us that option.  It is like saying that God will force you to go to heaven, when you have changed your mind..  I think he will send you where you want to go.

Sorry, no proof, nor ever will be.\nHebrews 9;27, As it is appointed unto men once to die, \nbut after this the judgement.\nI Corinthians 13;8a, Love never fails!!!
