JW's say that God has only the limitations he himself has placed upon himself and that he keeps faith with himself.
They further say that all evil is the result of the challenge to his sovereignty. The time man's experienced evil is to the end of proving the rightfulness and righteousness of Jehovah, his way of ruling and that he didn't create defective creatures with free will, but rather the defect was their own - they chose evil. Other things subsidiary, to these but contingent on them too.
The Daily Text of Wednesday, January 14, 2008 says...
Jehovah is a lover of justice.—Ps. 37:28.
Because of his love of justice, Jehovah refrained from wiping out the rebels in Eden. Why? Satan’s rebellion raised a question regarding the rightness of God’s sovereignty. Jehovah’s sense of justice required that Satan’s challenge be given a just answer. The immediate execution of the rebels, while well-deserved, would not have provided such an answer. It would have provided further evidence of Jehovah’s supremacy in power, but his power was not in question . Furthermore, Jehovah had stated his purpose to Adam and Eve. They were to have offspring and were to fill the earth, subdue it, and have all earthly creation in subjection. (Gen. 1:28) If Jehovah had simply destroyed Adam and Eve, his stated purpose regarding humans would have become empty words. Jehovah’s justice would never allow for such an outcome, for his purpose is always accomplished.—Isa. 55:10, 11. w07 5/15 1:13, 14
Now the question I have is as follows:
Could Jehovah have created all the angels and man with faux free will such that these imagined that they actually had free will, but in point of fact did not?
This leading to the end that Satan would never have tried to tempt Eve ( though the thought would have been allowed to come to mind) his internal programming as it were causing him to revolt from the idea after having considered it.
So too, suppose Eve and Adam both had been presented with the command to not eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil and in fact imagined they had the ability to choose to do so, but in point of fact did not.
Suppose the same were so of all intelligent creation.
Suppose we had been created with this sort of faux free will...
Would we not all be enjoying life congratulating ourselves on our loyalty and integrity as one big happy family instead of what we have today?
If Jehovah could have done that, why didn't he?
The answer I got from a number was "Jehovah would know the truth."
My response was... "So this is all about him huh?!"
Where is the morality of a loving God in this equation?
