Free will, censorship, and Satan / by kevin murray

There are a multitude of people that complain about all the evil that exists in this world, and thus wonder why God doesn’t do something about it.  The short answer to that question really comes down to the fact that God has provided each and everyone of us with free will, thereby making us free agents, free to do whatever that we should so desire to do, good or bad, and hence suffer the consequences, so of.  Further to the point, God does not censor us, thereby dictating to us what we are thus permitted to say or to do, for again, we are free agents, not automatons under God’s eternal thumb. 

 

Indeed, all the evil that we perceive in this world, is the evil that we have created by our subsequent bad actions and willful disobedience, not God. That which is evil, is the opposite of the good attributes of God, and therefore all those that have bad characteristics, should firstly look upon their own thinking and decision making, to have therefore a better concept for where such blame, primarily lies.  In this world, we will be tempted, perhaps by Satan, perhaps by our own inclinations – of which, the very purpose of our experience in this earthly plane, is to be tested, again and again by fire, so as to determine then as to whether, we will ultimately surrender to Satan or whether we will instead show the correct judgment and fortitude to be godly, instead.

 

So then, in our incarnation, each of us is provided always with the opportunity to do good or to do evil.  Those then that make it their point to sow seeds of hatred, lies, wickedness, selfishness and the like, are going to surely reap a very turbulent wind, in response.  On the other hand, those that make it their point to sow seeds of love, compassion, forgiveness, justice, and the like will surely reap a bountiful harvest, in return.  The choice, as always, is in our collective hands, and the result is the world and the society, that we are an integral part of.

 

The greatest love that can be provided to anyone, is to provide that which has been created, with the independence of mind and therefore free will, to make their own decisions as to who and what they so want to be; of which, the greatest response that our Creator could ever hope for from God’s created beings, is to thus see that which has been created, do good deeds and then freely return to God, and God’s sanctuary.  The choice is ever ours, in which, God does not cheat, but lets the game be played fairly, which is why Satan exists, so that we are provided with two distinct choices, left at our discretion.

 

Our earth, is that proving ground, of which it is our sacred duty to puzzle out the where and why of our existence, and then to make it our point, to make those decisions that will get us ever closer to where we ought to be, through the correct usage of our free will, freely bestowed upon us, as our opportunity to therefore through our willful volition to do the right thing.
