He certainly knows who listens and obeys.  That is different from the issue of Him forcing someone to obey Him.  Izzy   From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Wm.

A while back Izzy made some very definite statements concerning the importance of free will and the moral imperative on God's part that he not violate it.* I am wondering, in light of those comments and the apparent unanimity of your theologies, how might you reconcile the above statement with free will -- Izzy's given that we have it and that God will not violate it in anyone?   Just curious,     Bill     * The following is a quotation from Izzy, dated 4-26-04: "[Free will] is one of those givens in God’s universe.  It is why there is sin and sickness, children tortured and abused, and the Holocaust, and everything else that God hates: He will not violate free will in anyone (Believers or not), because He is not a puppeteer."     >
